or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Purchaser Party of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation, (ii) requires any admission of wrongdoing by such Purchaser Party, or (iii) obligates or requires a Purchaser 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 Purchaser Party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  To the extent  that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  The indemnification required by this Section 4.6 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 Liabilities are incurred.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause of action or similar right of the Purchaser Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (y) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.  The maximum liability of the Company to any Purchaser under this Section 4.6 shall be limited to such Purchaser’s Subscription Amount.

4.7

Reservation of Common Stock.  As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times through the Closing, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

4.8

Listing of Common Stock.  The Company hereby agrees to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market.  The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares upon issuance, and will take such other action as is reasonably necessary to cause all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares upon issuance to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company shall continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.

4.9

Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

4.10

Confidentiality After The Date Hereof.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until the time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Press Release as described in Section 4.2, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. 

4.11

No Manipulation of Price.  The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company.

4.12

Variable Securities.  Except for the notes issuable to Citadel pursuant to the Notes Purchase Agreement dated August 18, 2009 among the Company, certain of its Subsidiaries, and Citadel, for so long as any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price unless the conversion, exchange or exercise price of any such security cannot be less than the then applicable Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) with respect to the Common Stock into which any Warrant is exercisable. This provision shall not prohibit the Company from issuing or selling any securities that contain customary anti-dilution provisions.

4.13

Warrant Shares.  If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends.  If at any time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares.  The Company shall use its best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants; provided, such obligation will terminate when all Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor.

4.14

Post-Closing Transactions.  For a period of 30 days after the Closing, the Company shall not issue or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prohibitions in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to (i) issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) issuance pursuant to any instruments or agreements to which the Company is a party existing on the Closing Date (including, without limitation, that certain notes purchase agreement dated August 18, 2009 by and between the Company, Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. and other parties thereto); (iii) issuance of Common Stock pursuant to exercise or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalent existing on the Closing Date; and (iv) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents exchanged as part of an acquisition or other business combination.

ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS

5.1

Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the tenth day following the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

5.2

Fees and Expenses.  The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent's fees, financial advisory fees, or broker's commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Purchaser) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any fees or commissions payable to BMC or IC.  The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.  Except as expressly set forth in the this Agreement to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.

5.3

Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

5.4

5.6

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.

5.7

Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger).  Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

5.8

No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.6, except that BMC and IC are third party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement as if each was a party hereto.  Accordingly, all representations and warranties of the Company made to the Purchasers shall have also been deemed to be made directly to each of BMC and IC.  Further, BMC and IC are each hereby accorded all of the benefits of Section 4.6 as if each was a Purchaser Party, and all references to Purchaser Parties shall be deemed to include BMC, IC and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons.

5.9

Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled definitively and exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with said Rules.  The arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, United States of America.  The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English.  The arbitrator shall apply the law of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard for its principles of conflict of laws.  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  If either party shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  The Company hereby appoints Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, with offices at 2300 N Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037, as its agent for service of process in New York.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

5.10

Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for a period of twelve months.

5.11

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

5.12

Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, 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 commercially 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.

5.13

Replacement of Securities.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of an affidavit of loss or presentation of other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

5.14

Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.15

Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.16

Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, 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 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.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  Kaye Scholer LLP does not represent any of the Purchasers, only Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC.  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.

5.17

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.18

Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

5.19

Currency.  Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in United States Dollars.  All amounts owing under this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be paid in United States dollars.  All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the United States dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation.  "Exchange Rate" means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into United States dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the United States dollar exchange rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

5.20

Judgment Currency.  

(a)

If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 5.20 referred to as the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in United States Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

(i)

the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

(ii)

the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section being hereinafter referred to as the "Judgment Conversion Date").

(b)

If in the case of any proceeding, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of United States Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(c)

Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.
