WHEREAS, the Company and each Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(a) Authorization. The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized (i) the issuance and sale, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and (ii) the issuance and sale, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of an aggregate of up to 2,173,900 of 4 Year Warrants and 2,500,000 of 6 Month Warrants (the Shares, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, collectively, the “Securities”).

(b) Agreement to Purchase and Sell Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, at the Closing (as defined below), the number of Shares and Warrants identified on the signature pages hereto. The purchase price of each Share, 4 Year Warrant and 6 Month Warrant shall be $2.00.

(c) Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s long-term debt (other than payment of trade payables, interest payments and accrued expenses, or settlement of intercompany balances in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and consistent with prior practices), or to redeem any Common Stock or other securities of the Company or to settle any outstanding Action.

(d) Obligations Several, Not Joint. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement 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 this Agreement. The decision of each of the Purchasers to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, 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 this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce such Purchaser’s rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(a) Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants shall take place at the offices of Ropes & Gray LLP, 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 3, 2009, or at such other time and place as the Company, on the one hand, and Purchasers purchasing a majority of the Shares mutually agree upon (which time and place are referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing”). The date of the Closing is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. On the Closing Date, each Purchaser shall wire the aggregate purchase price for the Shares and Warrants to the Company to such account as it shall designate, and the Company shall, against such payment, irrevocably authorize and instruct its transfer agent to issue to each Purchaser one or more stock certificates (the “Certificates”) and Warrants registered in the name of said Purchaser, and bearing the legend set forth in Section 4(j) herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment of the aggregate purchase price may be made promptly after receipt by the Purchasers’ custodian of the Certificates and Warrants, provided that such order of transmission is required by the Purchaser’s established internal policy or procedure.

(e) Investment Experience. The Purchaser understands that the purchase of the Securities involves substantial risk. The Purchaser has experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk of its investment

(f) Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(g) Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations. The Purchaser understands that the issuance and sale of the Securities to it will not be registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any State of the United States or the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, on the ground that such issuance and sale will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and exempt from any comparable registration requirement under the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is based on each Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.

(h) Receipt of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and to obtain any additional information requested and has received and considered all information it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.

(i) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, the securities laws of any State of the United States or the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction.

(j) Legend. (i) The Purchaser agrees that the Certificates for the Shares (and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant) shall bear the following legend:

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT, THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.”

The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the date on which a Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Effective Date”) if such legal opinion is required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that following an Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4(j), it will, no later than three (3) Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or to the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other restrictive legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4(i) or this Section 4(j). Any fees associated with the removal of the legend referred to in this Section 4(j) shall be borne by the Company.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Shares or securities as set forth in this Section 4(j) is predicated upon the Purchaser’s covenant that the Purchaser only will sell any Shares or securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

(k) Restrictions on Short Sales. The Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it has not and will not, directly or indirectly, during the period beginning on the date on which the Company or any agent of the Company first contacted such Purchaser regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and ending on the issuance of the Press Release, engage in (i) any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock, including, without limitation, the maintaining of any short position with respect to, establishing or maintaining a “put equivalent position” (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to, entering into any swap, derivative transaction or other similar arrangement (whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, other securities, cash or other consideration) that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequences or ownership, or otherwise disposes of, any of the Securities by the Purchaser or (ii) any hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Securities (clauses (i) and (ii) together, a “Short Sale”); except for (1) Short Sales by a Purchaser which was, prior to the date on which such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company or any agent of the Company, regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, a market maker for the Common Stock, provided that such Short Sales are in the ordinary course of business of such Purchaser and are in compliance with the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of the Securities Act and such other securities laws as may be applicable, (2) Short Sales by the Purchaser which by virtue

of the procedures of such Purchaser are made without knowledge of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (3) Short Sales by the Purchaser to the extent that such Purchaser is acting in the capacity of a broker-dealer executing unsolicited third-party transactions.

(l) Questionnaires. The Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Questionnaire for use in preparation of a Registration Statement, and the answers to such Questionnaires are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement in all material respects; provided, that the Purchasers shall be entitled to update such information by providing written notice thereof to the Company at least 48 hours before effective date of such Registration Statement.

(a) Registration of the Securities. The Company hereby agrees that it shall prepare and file with the SEC no later than seven (7) Business Days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (together with any other registration statements filed under this Section 5 and any preliminary or final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included therein, the “Registration Statements”), to enable the resale of the Shares and shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants the “Warrant Shares”) (together with any shares of Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the Shares or the Warrant Shares, the “Registrable Shares”) by holders of such Shares and/or Warrant Shares from time to time on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective, within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date (the “Required Effective Date”) or, in the event of a review of such Registration Statement by the SEC, the Required Effective Date will be within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and, subject to exceptions provided herein, to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (A) the fifth anniversary of the effective date of such Registration Statement, (B) the date on which all Registrable Shares have been publicly sold thereunder, or (C) the date on which all of the Registrable Shares (other than Registrable Shares held by an individual who is not an affiliate of the Company due to his or her status as an executive of the Company), can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) not subject to volume limitations (the “Registration Period”). If the Company receives notification from the SEC that a Registration Statement will receive no action or review from the SEC, then the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within three (3) Business Days after such SEC notification;

(b) Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(i) Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than one Business Day prior to the filing of any related prospectus (a “Prospectus”) or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K

and any similar or successor reports), furnish to each Purchaser or Person to whom Registrable Shares have been transferred (each, a “Holder”) copies of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder. The Company shall make a good faith effort to accommodate any reasonable objection to any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than one (1) Business Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of such documents.

(ii) (A) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Shares for the Registration Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Shares; (B) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (C) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and (D) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Shares shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was filed.

(iii) Notify the Holders (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (C) through (F) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (A)(1) below, not less than three Business Days prior to such filing, in the case of (C) and (D) below, not more than one Business Day after such issuance or receipt and in the case of (E) below, not less than three Business Days prior to the financial statements in any Registration Statement becoming ineligible for inclusion therein and, in the case of (F) below not more than one Business Day after the occurrence or existence of such corporate development) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Business Day following the day (A)(1) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (2) when the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the

SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders that pertain to the Holders as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of Distribution”, but not information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (3) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” or the “Plan of Distribution”; (C) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Shares or the initiation of any Action or other proceeding for that purpose; (D) 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 Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (E) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such 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 such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such 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 case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading; and (F) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided that any and all of such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law; provided, further, that notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.

(iv) Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

(v) If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC; provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the SEC’s EDGAR system.

(vi) Prior to any resale of Registrable Shares by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the Registrable Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue

Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Registration Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statements; provided, 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 the Company to general service of process in any 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.

(vii) If requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of a Registration Statement cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Shares without legend upon sale by the Holder of such shares of Registrable Shares under a Registration Statement.

(viii) Following the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(c)(iii) through (vi), as promptly as practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements 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, no Registration Statement nor any 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 case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading.

(c) Liquidated Damages. If during the Registration Period: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within three (3) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, (iii) prior to the Effective Date, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for the Registration Statement to be declared effective, (iv) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC (or otherwise does not become effective) on or prior to the Required Effective Date, (v) the Company fails to keep the Common Stock continuously listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any electronic bulletin board or (vi) after its Effective Date, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update a Registration Statement), to remain continuously

effective as to all Shares for which it is required to be effective or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Shares (including, without limitation, in accordance with Section 5(d) below) for an aggregate of more than 10 consecutive Business Days or for more than an aggregate of 20 Business Days in any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive), (any such failure or breach in clauses (i) through (vi) above being referred to as an “Event,” and, for purposes of clauses (i), (iv) or (v), the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii), the date on which such three (3) Business Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii), the date which such 10 calendar day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such 10 consecutive or 20 Business Day period (as applicable) is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights available to the Holders hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on each such Event Date, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser (or to the extent such Holder is a direct or indirect transferee of a Purchaser, such Purchaser) pursuant to this Agreement (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available under this Agreement); and (y) on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date thereof (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured or Rule 144 is available to permit the resale of such Registrable Shares without manner of sale or volume limitations, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder (or to the extent such Holder is a direct or indirect transferee of a Purchaser, such Purchaser) pursuant to this Agreement (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available under this Agreement); provided, however, in no event shall the Company be responsible for paying any liquidated damages under this subsection (c)(i) for any Event in which the Company was able to meet such deadline, but was delayed due to a Holder’s right to review under Section 5(b) and (ii) if the SEC limits the number of Registrable Shares permitted to be registered on the Registration Statement to any Purchaser, with respect to the affected shares, provided that the Company uses diligent efforts to effect the registration of the remaining Registrable Shares promptly following the sixth month after the Registration Statement becomes effective. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 8% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. In the event that the Company registers some but not all of the Shares held by the Holders, the liquidated damages referred to above for any monthly period shall be reduced to equal the amount determined by multiplying the amount of liquidated damages as determined above by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares held by the Holders for which there is not an effective Registration Statement at such time and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares held by the Holders at such time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will the liquidated damages, including interest, paid to a Holder under this Section 5(c) be greater than 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder (or to the extent such Holder is a direct or indirect transferee of a Purchaser, such Purchaser) pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Each Holder agrees that it will not offer to sell or make any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer with respect to the Registrable Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act except pursuant to (1) a Registration Statement, (2) Rule 144 of the Securities Act or (3) another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in a Registration Statement after it is prepared regarding the Holder.

(ii) In the event of: (A) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of a Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (B) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (C) 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 Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, or (D) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of a Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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, then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Holders listed as selling securityholders in the Prospectus (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing (which notice will not disclose the content of any material non-public information and will indicate the date of the beginning and end of the intended period of suspension, if known), and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Holders will discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus (a “Suspension”) until the Holders’ receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until the Holders are advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders.

(i) Indemnification by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (A) each Holder, and the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each person or entity, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) any Holder (each, a “Holder Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or reasonable expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken

from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject with respect to any Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) that arise out of or are based upon:

(1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement (including any post-effective amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

(2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; (the matters in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being, collectively, “Violations”).

Subject to subsection (e)(iv) below, the Company shall reimburse each Holder Indemnified Person, as applicable, promptly as such reasonable expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Holder Indemnified Person, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this subsection (e) shall not (i) apply to a Claim by a Holder Indemnified Person to the extent such Claim arises directly from a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a Holder Indemnified Person, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company, (iii) apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim, if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) apply to a Claim by a Holder Indemnified Person arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a prospectus, or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to make such statement not misleading in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to such Holder before the pertinent sale or sales by such Holder.

(ii) Indemnification by the Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, by such participation each Holder agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in subsection (e)(i) above, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs a Registration Statement, each of the Company’s agents or representatives, and each person or entity, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning

of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, to the extent such Claim or Indemnified Damages arises directly from any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder specifically for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to subsection (e)(v) below, such Holder will reimburse any legal or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (e)(ii) and the agreement with respect to contribution set forth below shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Holder shall be liable under this subsection (e)(ii) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement giving rise to such liability. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this subsection (e)(ii) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Company Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.

(iii) Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by any person entitled to indemnification under this subsection (e) (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this subsection (e), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Holder Indemnified Persons and the Company Indemnified Persons shall each have the right to retain their own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for the Holder Indemnified Persons as a group or the Company Indemnified Persons as a group, as applicable, to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such Holder Indemnified Persons and Company Indemnified Persons, as applicable, and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of a Holder Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (the “Holder Legal Counsel”) shall be selected by the Holders then holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Shares. The Holder Legal Counsel shall not represent any Holder Indemnified Person that sends such counsel written notice that such Holder Indemnified Person does not wish such counsel to represent it in connection with the matters discussed in this subsection. The Holder Indemnified Persons, other than any Holder Indemnified Person that delivers the notice discussed in the preceding sentence, will be deemed to waive any conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest that may arise as a result of the representation of such

Holder Indemnified Persons by the Holder Legal Counsel in connection with the subject matter of the Claim. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate 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 such Indemnified Party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep each Indemnified Party apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, (ii) requires any admission of wrongdoing by such Indemnified Party or (iii) obligates or requires an Indemnified Party to take, or refrain from taking, any action. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to an Indemnified Party under this subsection (e), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(iv) Payments. The indemnification required by this subsection (e) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar right of the an Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(v) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this subsection (e) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party, as a result of Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Shares be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this subsection (e)(v) and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Shares giving rise to such contribution obligation. The Holders’ obligation to contribute pursuant to this subsection (e)(v) are several and not joint.

(vi) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5(e) shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Shares and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Rule 144 Information. For so long as the Registration Period continues, the Company shall file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and shall take such further action to the extent required to enable the Holders to sell the Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time).

(g) Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Section 5 (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading and (B) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Shares and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Shares for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders consistent with Section 5(b)(vi)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Shares and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) the filing fees with FINRA under FINRA Rule 2710, if requested by any Holder in connection with their resales of Registrable Shares, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 5. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Shares on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder.

(h) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of its security holders or any other party (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto or pursuant to Section 5(i) below) may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Shares, and the Company shall not after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement providing any right to any of its security holders or any other party to register any securities in a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 5.

(i) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Registration Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Shares and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee or director benefit plans, then the Company shall

send to each Holder holding Registrable Shares for which there is not an effective Registration Statement written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Shares such Holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights on a pro rata basis (along with other holders of piggyback registration rights with respect to the Company); provided, that (i) the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 5(i) that are eligible for resale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement and (ii) if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 5(i) in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 5(g) hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Shares being registered pursuant to this Section 5(i) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance from and after the Closing Date, no less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

(b) Reporting Status. During the two year period from and after the Effective Date of any Registration Statement filed hereunder, the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination, provided, however, the Company shall be entitled to terminate its status as an issuer in connection with a business combination transaction with a third-party or a 13E-3 transaction.

(c) Form D and Blue Sky. With respect to each Closing, the Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company, on or before each Closing, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following each Closing consistent with Section 5(b)(vi).

(d) No Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for

sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of Nasdaq such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

(e) Subsequent Registrations. Except for those existing registration rights discussed in Section 3(m) above or the filing of a prospectus supplement in connection with an existing registration statement of the Company, other than pursuant to a Registration Statement, prior to the date that is 60 days (or 30 days in the event that there are less than $20 million of gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder) after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, on Form S-4) with the SEC with respect to any securities of the Company.

(i) Indemnification of Purchasers. In addition to the indemnity provided in Section 5(e) of this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, affiliates, employees and agents (and any other persons or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person or entity holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each person or entity who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other persons or entities with a functionally equivalent role of a person or entity holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, out of pocket costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to third party claims against such Purchaser relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

(ii) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person or entity (the “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6(f)(i), such Purchaser Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any

Purchaser Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Purchaser Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, provided, however, in no event, shall the Company be obligated to cover the reasonable fees and expenses of more than five such separate counsel (one for each Purchaser hereunder). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Purchaser Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Purchaser Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

(g) Listing of Securities. Prior to the execution of this Agreement or promptly following the date hereof, the Company shall have taken or shall take all necessary action to cause the Shares and the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be listed upon the Nasdaq Capital Market and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing. Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other securities listed on any other trading market, it shall include in such application the Shares and the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants and will take such other action as is necessary to cause the Shares and the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be listed on such other trading market as promptly as practicable.

This Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and Purchasers holding at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding Shares; provided that any provision for the sole benefit of the Company may be waived by the Company. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 9(g) will be binding upon the Company, each Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and will be enforceable in accordance with its terms. The parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute for any provision that is excluded pursuant to the preceding sentence, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto and thereto constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(j) Meaning of Include and Including. Whenever in this Agreement the word “include” or “including” is used, it shall be deemed to mean “include, without limitation” or “including, without limitation,” as the case may be, and the language following “include” or “including” shall not be deemed to set forth an exhaustive list.

(k) Fees, Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any party hereto in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the costs associated with any filings with, or compliance with any of the requirements of any governmental authorities), shall be the sole and exclusive responsibility of such party.

(l) 8-K Filing; Press Release and Publicity. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, but in no event later than 8:30 a.m., eastern time, on the Business Day following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and publicly disseminate the Press Release (defined below), and no later than 96 hours following the Closing, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and attaching this Agreement and the Press Release as exhibits to such filing (the “8-K Filing” including all attachments). Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall be required, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to issue a press release (the “Press Release”) in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and (ii) as is required by applicable laws and regulations; and, provided further, that neither the Press Release nor any other release may identify a Purchaser unless such Purchaser has consented thereto in writing, or as required by law; and provided further, that the Company may publicly reference the transaction in connection with Company earnings releases, investor presentations and other communications provided that such communications shall not include any information related to the transaction that was not otherwise disclosed in the Press Release and the Company’s SEC filings.

(m) Waivers. No waiver by any party to this Agreement of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

(n) Stock Splits, Dividends and other Similar Events. The provisions of this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, dividend in the form of common stock, reorganization or other similar event that may occur with respect to the Company after the date hereof.

(o) Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, each Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(p) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under any of the Transaction Documents and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any such relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(q) Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. 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 any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents 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 any Subsidiary which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained in the Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant 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 any of the Transaction Documents or any document contemplated thereby. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under any of the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of the 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 each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are identical to its obligations to each other Purchaser other than such differences resulting solely from the number of Securities purchased by such Purchaser, but regardless of whether such obligations are memorialized herein or in another agreement between the Company and a Purchaser.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Securities Purchase Agreement as of the date and year first above written.

The undersigned agrees to notify the Company promptly of any changes in the foregoing information which may occur prior to the investment.

By executing below the undersigned accepts its obligations as a Purchaser under the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2009, between the Company and the Purchasers party thereto (the “Agreement”), and represents that it has read and understands the Agreement.

By executing below the undersigned covenants and agrees that it will only sell Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement in a manner specified in Exhibit A to this Questionnaire.

All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the

activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement (2) the date on which the shares may be sold without volume limitations by non-affiliates pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or eleven years after the registration statement becomes effective.
