The Company is subject to and in compliance in all material respects with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable.  The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common Stock from the NASDAQ Global Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC or NASDAQ is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.  The Conversion Shares will be duly authorized for listing on the NASDAQ Global Market immediately upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Indenture.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 4.1Participation Rights.  Subject to applicable securities law, for so long as any portion of the Notes remain outstanding, in the event the Company issues any shares, interests, participations or other equivalents (however designated) of capital stock or any equivalent ownership interests (“Capital Stock”) the Company will offer to sell (subject to consummation of such issuance) to each Holder holding Notes with an Original Principal Amount (as that term is defined in the Indenture) of $1,000,000 or more, such Holder’s pro rata share of such Capital Stock at the same price and on the same terms (the “Participation Right”).  Each Holder’s “pro rata” share is equal to the ratio of (a) the number of Conversion Shares such Holder has the right to acquire upon conversion of the Notes (without giving effect to the limitations in Section 4.3 of this Agreement or Section 10.24 of the Indenture) held thereby to (b) the sum of (i) all Common Stock outstanding as of the time of such determination, (ii) all Common Stock issuable upon the exchange, exercise or conversion of all warrants, options, convertible securities or other such instruments then outstanding (whether or not such instruments are then exercisable) including, but not limited to, any equity securities reserved for issuance under any management or employee benefit plan, and (iii) all other Common Stock then issuable as a result of any anti-dilution adjustments and pre-emptive or similar rights granted to any other holder of the Company’s Common Stock.  The Participation Right shall not apply to authorized issuances by the Company in connection with: (i) strategic new business transactions, joint ventures or acquisitions, (ii) firm underwritten commitments for public offerings of common stock with expected gross proceeds in excess of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000), (iii) employee/ consultant stock incentive plans so long as such issuances have been approved by a majority of the independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, (iv) the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company outstanding as of the Closing, (v) the conversion of convertible securities which are offered in a transaction in which the Holders are given a right of participation pursuant to this Section 4.1, and (vi) the conversion of the Notes and the corresponding issuance of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Indenture.  Such first offer shall be made in writing by the Company to the Holder and shall remain open for at least ten (10) business days (the “Participation Period”).  The written notice shall provide (i) reasonable information about the terms and conditions of such sale of Capital Stock; and (ii) the expiration date of the Participation Period.  Notice of the intention of any Holder to exercise its Participation Right shall be evidenced by an irrevocable writing signed by such Holder and delivered to the Company prior to the expiration date of the Participation Period, setting forth (i) such Holder’s election and (ii) that the representations and warranties of the Holder included in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date of such notice.

Section 4.2Director Appointment.

(a)For as long as LC Capital or its affiliates own or hold Capital Stock of the Company and/or Notes such that LC Capital and its affiliates hold or have the right to acquire at least 5% of the Capital Stock of the Company, LC Capital shall have the right to designate one (1) independent director to serve on the Company’s board of directors (subject to any restrictions under applicable law or the rules and requirements of any securities exchange upon which any of the Company’s securities may be traded).  Further, for as long as LC Capital or its affiliates own or hold Capital Stock of the Company and/or Notes such that LC Capital and its affiliates hold or have the right to acquire at least 12% of the Capital Stock of the Company, LC Capital shall have the right to designate two (2) independent directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors (subject to any restrictions under applicable law or the rules and requirements of any securities exchange upon which any of the Company’s securities may be traded).

(b)Each director appointed pursuant to this Section 4.2 must meet the requirements of “independent director” for all purposes under the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ and the SEC.  The director designation right is personal to LC Capital and cannot be assigned.

Section 4.3Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(a)No Holder listed on Schedule 4.3 hereto shall request that any of the Notes be converted, and the Company shall not effect the conversion of any of the Notes to the extent that, after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates (collectively, the “Concert Parties”)), would beneficially own Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Concert Parties shall include the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the portion of the Notes with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Conversion Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining portion of the Notes beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Concert Parties and (B) conversion or exercise of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any loan to or securities of the Company (or any successor thereto) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Concert Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.3, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by each Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4.3 applies, the determination of whether and the extent to which any of the Notes may be converted (in relation to other loans or securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) shall be made in good faith by the Holder in consultation with its own counsel, and a request that all or a portion of the Notes beneficially owned by such Holder be converted shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination that such conversion (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Concert Parties) shall be in compliance with this Section 4.3, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 4.3, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s (or its successor’s) most recent periodic or annual report, as the case may be, filed with the SEC (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company (or its successor) or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (or its successor or successor’s transfer agent) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of any Holder listed on Schedule 4.3 hereto, the Company shall within two business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of loans or securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Holder or its Concert Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any of the Notes.  Any Holder listed on Schedule 4.3 hereto, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to 0%) the percentage constituting the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to such increased or decreased Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms hereof in order to correct such terms (or any portion thereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 4.3 shall apply to any successor to any Holder listed on Schedule 4.3 hereto.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations contained in this Section 4.3 shall not restrict or limit (i) any exercise by a Holder of a Participation Right as described in Section 4.1 above or (ii) any conversion or prepayment of the Notes in connection with a Change in Control as contemplated by Article 3 of the Indenture.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to file a Registration Statement for Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand:

(i)if the Company shall have previously effected a Demand Registration at any time during the immediately preceding ninety (90) day period;

(iii)during the pendency of any Blackout Period;

(iv)during the pendency of any Ineligibility Accommodation Period;

(v)if the Company shall have, on or after the Restatement Date, previously effected four (4) Demand Registrations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(vi)if the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to a Demand Registration does not equal at least $2,500,000; or

(vii)if the Registrable Securities that are the subject of the Demand are the subject of an effective Shelf Registration.

(d)The Company shall be permitted to satisfy its obligations under this Section 2 by amending (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any Shelf Registration previously filed by the Company under the Securities Act so that such Shelf Registration (as amended) shall permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of disposition specified as aforesaid) of all of the Registrable Securities for which a Demand shall have been made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to file any Shelf Registration.

(e)A requested Demand Registration shall not be deemed to count as a Demand Registration described in Section 2(c)(ii) hereof if: (i) such registration has not been declared effective by the SEC or does not become effective in accordance with the Securities Act, (ii) after becoming effective, such registration is materially interfered with by any stop order, injunction or similar order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to a Holder and does not thereafter become effective, (iii) the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of an act or omission on the part of a Holder, or (iv) the Holder making a Demand shall have withdrawn its Demand or otherwise determined not to pursue such registration, provided that, in the case of this clause (iv), such Holder shall have reimbursed the Company for all of its out- of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such Demand.

(f)If the lead managing underwriters of an Underwritten Offering made pursuant to a Demand shall advise the Holder making a Demand in writing (with a copy to the Company) that marketing or other factors require a limitation on the number of shares of Registrable Securities which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holder, then (i) if the Company shall have elected to include any securities to be issued and sold by the Company or sold on behalf of any of the Company’s security holders excluding such Holder (“Other Rights Holders”) in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of securities the Company shall intend to issue and sell (and, if applicable, the number of securities being sold on behalf of the Other Rights Holders) pursuant to such Registration Statement such that the total number of securities being sold by each such party shall be equal to the number which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to such Holder, and (ii) if the Company shall not have elected to include any securities to be issued and sold by the Company or sold on behalf of Other Rights Holders in such Registration Statement or if the reduction referred to in the previous clause (i) shall not be sufficient, then, the Holder shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering to the number that the lead managing underwriter advises can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Holder.  The Holder shall not be required to reduce the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in any such offering until the number of securities referred to in the previous clause (i) shall have been reduced to zero (0).  A requested Demand reduced pursuant to this Section 2(f) shall count as a Demand Registration described in Section 2(c)(ii) hereof.  In the event that a requested Demand Registration so reduced does not result in at least $2,500,000 in aggregate gross sales proceeds being received by the Holder, such requested Demand Registration shall not be deemed to count as a Demand Registration described in Section 2(c)(ii) hereof, Provided that Holders shall have reimbursed the Company for all of its out-of- pocket expenses incurred in the preparation, filing and processing of the Registration Statement.

Section 3.           Piggy-Back Registration Rights.

(b)Subject to Section 3(c) and Section 3(d) hereof, in the event that Holders have and shall elect to utilize their Piggy- Back Rights, the Company shall include in the Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified by the Holders in a written request (a “Piggy-Back Request”) given to the Company not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed filing date of the Registration Statement.  The Registrable Securities identified in a Piggy-Back Request shall be included in the Registration Statement on the same terms and conditions as the other securities included in the Registration Statement.

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Holders shall not have Piggy-Back Rights with respect to (i) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or Form S-3 (with respect to dividend reinvestment plans and similar plans) or any successor forms thereto or (ii) a Registration Statement filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to employees of the Company.

(d)If the lead managing underwriters selected by the Company for an Underwritten Offering for which Piggy-Back Rights are requested shall advise the Company in writing that marketing or other factors require a limitation on the number of shares of securities which can be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then, (i) such underwriters shall provide written notice thereof to the Holders and (ii) there shall be included in the offering, (A) first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its account (or such lesser amount as shall equal the maximum number determined by the lead managing underwriters as aforesaid); (B) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by Holders, or such lesser number as shall equal, together with the amount referred to in (A), the maximum number determined by the lead managing underwriters as aforesaid; and (c) third, only that number of securities requested to be included by any Other Rights Holders that such lead managing underwriters reasonably and in good faith believe will not substantially interfere with (including, without limitation, adversely affecting the pricing of) the offering of all the securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account and all the Registrable Securities that the Holders desire to sell for their own accounts.

(e)Nothing contained in this Section 3 shall create any liability on the part of the Company to the Holders if the Company for any reason should decide not to file a Registration Statement for which Piggy-Back Rights are available or to withdraw such Registration Statement subsequent to its filing, regardless of any action whatsoever Holders may have taken, whether as a result of the issuance by the Company of any notice hereunder or otherwise.

(f)A request made by Holders pursuant to their Piggy- Back Rights to include Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration described in Section 2(c)(ii) hereof.

Section 4.           Selection of Underwriters.   In connection with any Underwritten Offering made pursuant to a Demand or a Piggy-Back Right, the Company may, at its sole discretion, select a book running managing underwriter to manage the Underwritten Offering with the prior written consent of the Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to use an underwriter in connection with any registration made pursuant to a Demand or Piggy-Back Request.

Section 5.           Blackout Periods.   If (i) within five (5) Business Days following the exercise by a Holder of a Demand, the Company determines in good faith and notifies such Holder in writing that the registration and distribution of Registrable Securities (or the use of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus) resulting from a Demand received from such Holder would materially and adversely interfere with any planned or proposed business combination transaction involving the Company, or any pending financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or any other corporate development involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) following the exercise by such Holder of a Demand but before the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (A) a business combination, tender offer, acquisition or other corporate event involving the Company is proposed, initiated or announced by another Person beyond the control of the Company (an “Uncontrolled Event”), (B) in the reasonable judgment of at least a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), the filing or seeking the effectiveness of the Registration Statement would materially and adversely interfere with such Uncontrolled Event or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company and (C) the Company promptly so notifies such Holder, then the Company shall be entitled to (x) postpone the filing of the Registration Statement otherwise required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or (y) elect that the effective Registration Statement not be used, in either case for a reasonable period of time, but not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date that (1) the Demand was made (in the case of an clause (i) above) or (2) the Company so notifies such Holder of such determination (in the case of clause (ii) above) (each, a “Blackout Period”).  Any such written notice shall contain a general statement of the reasons for such postponement or restriction on use and an estimate of the anticipated delay.  The Company shall (a) promptly notify the Holder making a Demand of the expiration or earlier termination of such Blackout Period and (b) use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Demand Registration as promptly as practicable after the end of the Blackout Period.

Section 6.           Holdback.

(a)If (i) at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall file a Registration Statement (other than a registration on Form S-4, Form S-8 or Form S-3 (with respect to dividend reinvestment plans and similar plans) or any successor forms thereto) with respect to any shares of its capital stock, and (ii) upon reasonable prior notice the managing underwriter or underwriters (in the case of an Underwritten Offering) advise the Company and the Holders in writing that a sale or distribution of Registrable Securities would adversely impact such offering, then the Holders shall, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, refrain from effecting any sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the period commencing on the effective date of such Registration Statement and continuing until the ninetieth (90th) day after the effective date of such Registration Statement; provided that such restriction shall apply to the Holders only if in connection with such offering, the underwriters require the directors and executive officers of the Company to refrain from selling the Company’s securities for a like period and on like terms (such period, a “Holdback Period”).

(b)During the ninety (90) day period commencing on the effective date of a Registration Statement filed by the Company on behalf of Holders in connection with an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Demand, the Company shall not effect (except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or Form S-3 (with respect to dividend reinvestment plans and similar plans) or any successor forms thereto and except pursuant to Section 2(f) hereof) any public sale or distribution of its securities.

Section 7.           Ineligibility to Effect a Demand Registration.  If, following receipt of a Demand (other than the Closing Demand) from a Holder, after giving effect to any Holdback Period and any Blackout Period, the Company has not filed a Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered or has not used its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective because it is not eligible to effect a registration pursuant to the Securities Act, the Company shall have 60 additional days to file such Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered or to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective (such additional days, the “Ineligibility Accommodation Period”).

Section 8.           Liquidated Damages.

(a)The parties hereto agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Company fails to perform its obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event that after a Holder has made a Demand and all Ineligibility Accommodation Periods, Blackout Periods and Holdback Periods have expired the Company has not filed a Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered or has not caused such Registration Statement to become effective as provided in Section 2(b) hereof, or has not maintained the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as provided in Section 9(b) hereof (such events, a “Registration Default”), then damages (“Liquidated Damages”) will accrue in the form of additional interest on the portion of the Convertible Notes that are convertible or were converted into the Affected Registrable Securities with respect to each 30-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default during which, at any point during such period, such Registration Default is continuing, in an amount equal to 0.5% multiplied by the initial principal amount of the Convertible Notes that are convertible or were converted into the Affected Registrable Securities. Such additional interest shall continue to accrue until such Registration Default has been cured; provided, however, that, during which time at any point during such period, any Holder who has made a Demand that is the subject of a Registration Default and who is not a lender with respect to a Convertible Note that is convertible into Affected Registrable Securities shall be entitled to receive a cash payment from the Company in like amounts no later than 30 days after each such 30-day period.

(b)The parties hereto agree that the Liquidated Damages provided for in this Section 8 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by Holders of Securities by reason of the happening of any Registration Default.

(b)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such indemnified party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Section 13 (provided that failure to give such notification shall not affect the obligations of the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13 except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure).  In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 13 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of such action (so long as such failure to employ counsel is not the result of an unreasonable determination by such indemnified party that counsel selected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is unsatisfactory) or if the indemnifying party shall not have demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the indemnified party its ability to finance such defense, or (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded or been advised by counsel that there may be legal defenses available to other indemnified parties to such action which could result in a conflict of interest for such counsel or prejudice the prosecution of the defenses available to such indemnified party, then such indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel of its choosing, at the expense of the indemnifying party.  No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent (which consent, in the case of an action, suit, claim or proceeding exclusively seeking monetary relief, shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the applicable indemnified party.

(c)If the indemnification from the indemnifying party provided for in this Section 13 is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied (in writing, in the case of the Holders) by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13(b) hereof, any legal and other fees and expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 13(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 13(c).  Any underwriter’s obligations in this Section 13(c) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities underwritten by them and not joint.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13(c), no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  If indemnification is available under this Section 13, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the fullest extent provided in Section 13(a) hereof without regard to the relative fault of such indemnifying parties or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 13(c).

(d)The provisions of this Section 13 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may have to any other party and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  The indemnification provided by this Section 13 shall survive the Transfer of such Registrable Securities by the Holders and shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

Section 14.           Injunctions.   EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WOULD OCCUR IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WERE NOT PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS SPECIFIC TERMS OR WERE OTHERWISE BREACHED.  THEREFORE, EACH PARTY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AN INJUNCTION OR INJUNCTIONS TO PREVENT BREACHES OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TO ENFORCE SPECIFICALLY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, SUCH REMEDY BEING IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REMEDY TO WHICH SUCH PARTY MAY BE ENTITLED AT LAW OR IN EQUITY.

Section 15.           Amendments and Waivers.   No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of the same is sought.  Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement and any consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 16.           Notices.  All notices, consents, requests, demands and other communications hereunder must be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made: (i) when delivered in person; (ii) three (3) days after deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid; (iii) in the case of telegraph or overnight courier services, one (1) Business Day after delivery to the telegraph company or overnight courier service with payment provided; or (iv) in the case of telex or telecopy or fax, when sent, verification received; in each case addressed as follows:

Form of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP Opinion

Addressees Listed on Schedule A

Re:   Cadiz Notes Indenture

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Cadiz Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “Indenture”).  We are rendering this opinion letter to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and 5.1 of the Exchange Agreement (as defined below).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given them in the Indenture.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or specimens, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Transaction Documents (as defined below) and such certificates, corporate and public records, agreements and instruments and other documents, including, among other things, the documents delivered on the date hereof, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents, agreements and instruments of all documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the authenticity of the originals of such documents, agreements and instruments submitted to us as copies or specimens, the accuracy of the matters set forth in the documents, agreements and instruments we reviewed, and that such documents, agreements and instruments evidence the entire understanding between the parties thereto and have not been amended, modified or supplemented in any manner material to the opinions expressed herein.  As to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy of, the representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents and we have relied upon certificates and oral or written statements and other information obtained from the Company, the other parties to the transaction referenced herein, and public officials.  Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or dockets) to determine the existence or absence of the facts that are material to our opinions, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our reliance on the representations of the Company in connection with the preparation and delivery of this letter.

In particular, we have examined and relied upon:

a)   the Indenture;

b)   the Notes;

c)   Private Placement Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2013, by and among the Company and the purchasers set forth on Exhibit A thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”);

d)   Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2013, by and among LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd., Milfam II L.P., Water Asset Management Managed Account #1, L.L.C. and the Company (“Exchange Agreement”);

e)   a certificate, dated as of February 27, 2013, from the Secretary of State of Delaware as to the existence and good standing in the State of Delaware of the Company (the “Delaware Good Standing Certificate”);

f)   a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, certified by the Secretary of State of Delaware as of February 21, 2013 (“Certificate of Incorporation”);

g)   a copy of the bylaws of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof and certified by Timothy J. Shaheen, Secretary of the Company (“Bylaws”);

h)   a copy of certain resolutions of the board of directors of the Company adopted on February 26, 2013, as in effect on the date hereof and certified as of the date hereof by Timothy J. Shaheen, Secretary of the Company; and

i)   the officer’s certificate attached hereto as Schedule B.

Items (a) to (d) above are referred to in this letter as the “Transaction Documents”.  References in this letter to “Applicable Laws” are to those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York and of the United States of America that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  References in this letter to “Governmental Authorities” are to executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory bodies of the State of New York or the United States of America.  References in this letter to “Governmental Approval” are to any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to Applicable Laws.

We have also assumed (x) the legal capacity of all natural persons and (y) (except to the extent expressly opined on herein) that all documents, agreements and instruments have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, that all such parties are validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, that all such parties had the power and legal right to execute and deliver all such documents, agreements and instruments, and that such documents, agreements and instruments constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such parties, enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms.  As used herein, “to our knowledge,” “known to us” or words of similar import mean the actual knowledge, without independent investigation, of any lawyer in our firm actively involved in the transactions contemplated by the Agreements.

We have also assumed, for purposes of paragraph 3 below, that each of the Transaction Documents is in consideration of or relates to an obligation arising out of a transaction covering in the aggregate not less than $1,000,000.

We express no view as to whether one or more of the Transaction Documents or a portion thereof may constitute a “swap” under Section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, or a “security-based swap” under Section 3(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such terms are further defined by joint regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The opinions expressed herein do not take into account the effect of any portion of a Transaction Document constituting a “swap” or “security-based swap.”

We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of New York and, to the extent expressly referred to in this letter, the federal laws of the United States of America.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.(i) Based solely on a review of the Delaware Good Standing Certificate, the Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) the Company has the requisite corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

2.Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations and provisions (a) purporting to waive or limit rights to trial by jury, oral amendments to written agreements or rights of set-off, (b) relating to submission to jurisdiction, venue or service of process, or (c) purporting to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of, or the grant of a security interest in, rights under the Indenture or property subject thereto, may be limited by applicable law or considerations of public policy.

3.The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder(a) do not result in a violation of any provision of the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation or any Applicable Laws applicable to the Company, and (b)  do not breach or result in a violation of, or default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, Cadiz Real Estate LLC, LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd. and the lenders party thereto.

4.The Company is not, nor is it required to register as, an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

This opinion letter is rendered to you in connection with the above-described transaction.  This opinion letter may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation without our prior written consent, except that the Trustee, solely in its capacity as trustee under the Indenture, may rely upon paragraphs 1, 2 and 3(a), in each case subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations relating thereto set forth herein.

In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update this letter for changes in fact or law, or otherwise.

Very truly yours,

Addressees Listed on Schedule A

(the “Addressees”)

Re:           Cadiz Inc. Notes Indenture

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Cadiz Inc. (“Cadiz” or the “Company”) in connection with the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Indenture, dated as of the date hereof between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Indenture”).  We are rendering this opinion letter to you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and 5.1 of the Exchange Agreement (as defined below).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the respective meanings given them in the Indenture.

In our capacity as counsel in connection with the Indenture, we have examined originals (or copies identified to our satisfaction as true copies of the originals) a copy of each of the following documents:

(a)           the Indenture;

(b)           the Notes;

(c)           the Private Placement Purchase Agreement, dated as the date hereof by and among Cadiz, Inc. and those Purchasers listed on Schedule B (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

(d)           the Exchange Agreement, dated as of the date hereof by and among LC Capital Master Fund, Ltd., Milfam II L.P., Water Asset Management Managed Account #1, L.L.C. and Cadiz Inc. (“Exchange Agreement”).

The agreements, instruments and other documents referred to in the foregoing lettered clauses are referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents”.

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) investigated such questions of law, (ii) examined such corporate documents and records of Cadiz, certificates of public officials and other documents, and (iii) received such information from officers and representatives of Cadiz, as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.

Also in connection with this opinion, we reviewed a certificate executed by an officer of Cadiz for the benefit of Theodora Oringher PC, the accuracy of which we will not be held accountable for (the “Certificate of Due Inquiry”).

In rendering this opinion, we have, with your permission, assumed without independent verification the following assumptions, the accuracy of which we will not be held accountable for:

1.           The genuineness of all signatures affixed to the Transaction Documents, the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies including, without limitation, facsimile copies.

2.           There are no documents, understandings, negotiations or agreements between or among any of the parties to the Transaction Documents and others which would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Transaction Documents or the agreements or the obligations of the respective parties thereunder and which would have an effect on the opinion rendered hereinafter.

3.           Each natural person executing any such instrument, document, or agreement is legally competent to do so.

Whenever our opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is qualified by the phrase “to our knowledge,” or “known to us” or “we have no knowledge” or “to the best of our knowledge”, it is intended to mean the current actual knowledge of Howard J. Unterberger or Juliana Stamato, the attorneys in this firm who have represented Cadiz, of the existence or absence of any facts which would contradict the opinions set forth below.  Except for a review of our own files, and except as expressly stated otherwise herein, we have not undertaken any independent inquiry or investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of Cadiz.

In addition, as to factual matters, with your consent we have relied solely upon (1) the representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Transaction Documents and (2) the Certificate of Due Inquiry, in each case without independent investigation, to establish the truth and accuracy of the factual matters specified therein.

We offer no opinion as to any matter or any law not expressly contained in this opinion.

I.   OPINIONS.

Based on and subject to the above, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications, exceptions and reservations set forth herein, it is our opinion that:

1.           Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Cadiz and has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Cadiz, and the performance by Cadiz of its obligations thereunder does not contravene (i) to the best of our knowledge, any law, rule or regulation applicable to Cadiz (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (ii) any contractual or legal restriction binding on or affecting Cadiz or Cadiz Real Estate LLC in any agreement or contract filed by Cadiz with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

2.           The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance by Cadiz and, upon due conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, said Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances, other than transfer restrictions pursuant to the securities laws.

(a)3.           The offer and sale of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the Indenture constitute exempt transactions under the Securities Act and applicable state law.

4.           To the best of our knowledge, based solely on the Certificate of Due Inquiry, except for the matters disclosed in the Transaction Documents or in public filings made by Cadiz with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, there is no pending or threatened action or proceeding against Cadiz before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which is likely to have a materially adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of Cadiz.

5.           The execution and delivery by Cadiz of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and the performance of such Transaction Documents by Cadiz or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not require any consent or approval of, notice to, filing with, or other action by, any California or Delaware governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over Cadiz other than such of the foregoing as (i) are specifically referred to or described in the Transaction Documents or any schedule pertaining thereto, or (ii) have already been obtained or completed in connection with the execution and delivery by Cadiz of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

6.           The execution, delivery and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes, do not violate any provision of Cadiz’ organizational documents.  To our knowledge, the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes do not violate, or constitute a default under, any material contract of Cadiz relating to stockholder rights or the issuance of securities in existence prior to such issuance.

7.           No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority on the part of Cadiz is required in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

8.           To our knowledge, except for rights described in the Transaction Documents or in public filings of Cadiz with the Commission, there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of capital stock or other securities of Cadiz or any other agreements to issue any such securities or rights.
