Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall confirm orally or in writing to the Investor within two (2) Business Days of such request the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.

For six (6) Monthly Periods beginning from the date hereof, the Company agrees that, prior to entering into each and any definitive agreement for the sale directly or indirectly of any debt, Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, to which definitive agreement, or series of related definitive agreements taken together, there are two (2) or more counterparties (not including the Company) (a “Subsequent Transaction”), the Company shall provide reasonable, good faith notice to the Investor (“Offering Notice”) consistent with the notice given to all other potential investors in such Subsequent Transaction, including the relevant terms and conditions of such Subsequent Transaction as are delivered to all other potential investors, and the Investor shall have the right to participate on equivalent terms and conditions in up to 10% of such Subsequent Transaction by delivering notice to the Company by such deadline (the “Participation Deadline”) as shall be determined by the underwriter or the investment banker involved in the transaction, or in the absence of either an underwriter or an investment banker, the Company, and applicable to all potential investors in such Subsequent Transaction, which notice from Investor shall indicate Investor’s intention to participate in the Subsequent Transaction and the amount of its participation. In the event that the Investor does not provide notice prior to the Participation Deadline and the Company does not enter into such Subsequent Transaction within five (5) Business Days from the Offering Notice, the Company shall again be required to provide an Offering Notice as set forth herein. The Company shall deliver an Offering Notice for each and any Subsequent Transaction and agrees that it shall not execute any definitive documentation for any Subsequent Transaction whatsoever, unless it has first complied with this Section 5(i). Notwithstanding anything to

-15-

the contrary in this Section 5(i) and unless otherwise agreed to by Investor, the Company shall either confirm in writing to Investor that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Transaction has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to enter into the Subsequent Transaction, in either case in such a manner such that Investor will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5^th) Business Day following delivery of the Offering Notice. If by such fifth (5^th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Transaction has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by Investor, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and Investor shall no longer be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Investor is in possession of any information that is reasonably deemed to be material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during such five (5) Business Day period, the Investor agrees to keep such information confidential and shall not engage in transactions with respect to the Company’s securities, and the Company agrees not to deliver any Purchase Notice to the Investor, in each case during such five (5) Business Day (or shorter) period that the Investor may be reasonably deemed to be in possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Subsequent Transaction, the Company shall provide Investor with another Offering Notice in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Section 5(i) and Investor will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 5(i).

(d) At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason by delivering notice (a “Company Termination Notice”) to the Investor electing to terminate this Agreement without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party under this Agreement. The Company Termination Notice shall not be effective until one (1) Business Day after it has been received by the Investor.

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the Company’s or the Investor’s rights or obligations (i) under the Registration Rights Agreement which shall survive any such termination or (ii) under this Agreement with respect to pending purchases and the Company and the Investor shall complete their respective obligations with respect to any pending purchases under this Agreement.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its shareholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. 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. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which 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; provided that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a “.pdf” format data file shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature or a signature in a “.pdf” format data file.

-21-

(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. The Company acknowledges and agrees that is has not relied on, in any manner whatsoever, any representations or statements, written or oral, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

(i) Publicity. The Investor shall have the right to approve before issuance any press release, SEC filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company whatsoever with respect to, in any manner, the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure (including any filings with the SEC) with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations so long as the Company and its counsel consult with the Investor in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure at least two (2) Business Days prior to its release. The Investor must be provided with a copy thereof at least two (2) Business Days prior to any release or use by the Company thereof. The Company agrees and acknowledges that its failure to fully comply with this provision constitutes a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

-23-

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) No Financial Advisor, Placement Agent, Broker or Finder. The Company represents and warrants to the Investor that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Investor represents and warrants to the Company that it has not engaged any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder engaged by it relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m) Remedies, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to a party under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of a party contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit such party’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the other party to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the other party and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Each party therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the other party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(n) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
