The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

(y)Internal Accounting Controls. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company or pursuant to Rule 144(k), except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such legal opinion required of such Purchaser, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by thisSection 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing Securities:

[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE] 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 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LEGEND AND THE SECURITIES ACT.

Subject to and in reliance upon compliance of Purchasers with Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the letter included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer

agent on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days following the receipt by the Company of notice that a Purchaser has delivered to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent a legended certificate representing such Securities, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other 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 this Section.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and, if required under the terms of such agreement, loan or arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder.

(d) In addition to any other rights available to a Purchaser, if the Company fails to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate representing Common Stock by the third Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by any Transaction Document, and if after such third Trading Day such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the shares that the Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, the Company shall, within three Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request either (i) pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to such Purchaser in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.

4.2Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities will result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim that the Company may have against any Purchaser.

4.3Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such Person, the Company shall deliver to such Person a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

4.4Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best 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 would 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 would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.

4.5Reservation and Listing of Securities.

(a) The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock (the “Remaining Authorized Shares”) is less than 125% of (i) the Actual Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its best efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th day after such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(c) If, at the time any Purchaser requests an exercise or conversion of any Securities, the Actual Minimum minus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents exceeds the Remaining

Authorized Shares, then the Company shall issue to the Purchaser requesting such exercise or conversion a number of Underlying Shares not exceeding such Purchaser’s pro-rata portion of the Remaining Authorized Shares (based on such Purchaser’s share of the aggregate purchase price paid hereunder and provided that the number of Remaining Authorized Shares issued to such Purchaser shall not exceed the difference between (x) such Purchaser’s pro rata portion (vis-à-vis other Purchasers) of the difference between (i) the Actual Minimum and (ii) the total number of Remaining Authorized Shares prior to the issuance by the Company of any Underlying Shares and (y) the total number of Underlying Shares issued to such Purchaser as of the date of such exercise or conversion), and the remainder of the Underlying Shares issuable in connection with such exercise or conversion (if any) shall constitute “Excess Shares” issuable only in accordance with the procedures described inSection 4.5(g) below.

(d) The Company shall (i) in the time and manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the greater of (A) the Required Minimum on the Closing Date and (B) the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

(e) If, on any date, the number of shares of Common Stock previously listed on a Trading Market is less than 125% of the Actual Minimum on such date, then the Company shall take the necessary actions to list on such Trading Market, as soon as reasonably possible, a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date; provided that the Company will not be required at any time to list a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Transaction Documents, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue on the Closing Date pursuant to the Transaction Documents at an effective purchase price less than the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date equals 19.999% of the Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Issuable Maximum”), unless the Company obtains shareholder approval in accordance with the rules and regulations of such Trading Market. If, at the time any Purchaser requests an exercise or conversion of any Securities, the Actual Minimum (excluding any shares issued or issuable at an effective purchase price in excess of the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date) exceeds the Issuable Maximum (and if the Company has not previously obtained the required shareholder approval), then the Company shall issue to the Purchaser requesting such exercise or conversion a number of Underlying Shares of Common Stock not exceeding such Purchaser’s pro-rata portion of the Issuable Maximum (based on such Purchaser’s share of the aggregate purchase price paid hereunder and provided that the number of Underlying Shares issued to such Purchaser shall not exceed the difference between (x) such Purchaser’s pro rata portion (vis-à-vis other Purchasers) of the Issuable Maximum and (y) the total number of

Underlying Shares issued to such Purchaser as of the date of such exercise or conversion), and the remainder of the Underlying Shares issuable in connection with such exercise or conversion (if any) shall constitute “Excess Shares” issuable only in accordance with the procedures described inSection 4.5(g) below.

(g) Any Purchaser whose receipt of Excess Shares upon exercise or conversion of Securities is restricted based on the number of Remaining Authorized Shares or the Issuable Maximum shall have the option, by notice to the Company, to require the Company to use its best efforts to obtain the required shareholder approval necessary to permit the issuance of such Excess Shares as soon as is possible, but in any event not later than the 60th day after such notice. Such shareholder approval shall be in accordance with Section 17(b) of the Certificate of Designations. No shares of Common Stock that were issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents may be entitled to vote to approve the issuance of such Excess Shares.

4.6Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Election to Purchase included in the Warrants and the form of Conversion Notice included in the Certificate of Designations set forth the totality of the procedures required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Shares under the Transaction Documents. Subject to, and in reliance upon, the satisfaction by Purchasers of all obligations under the Transaction Documents, including but not limited the obligations described in Section 3.2 of this Agreement and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, no additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be necessary to enable the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Shares and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.7Subsequent Placements.

(a) From the date hereof until the Effective Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).

(b) From the Effective Date until the 90^th Trading Day following the Effective Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have fi-rst complied with this Section 4.7(b).

(i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the“Offer”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange of the securities being offered (the“Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued,

sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons or entities to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with each Purchaser (A) a pro rata portion of the Offered Securities based on such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the aggregate amount of the Shares purchased hereunder (the“Basic Amount”), and (B) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the“Undersubscription Amount”).

(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the 10 Trading Day period of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the“Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubcription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for;provided,however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the“Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the extent its deems reasonably necessary.

(iii) The Company shall have 5 Trading Days from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.7(b)(ii) above to issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the“Refused Securities”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.

(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.7(b)(iii) above), then each Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of

which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.7(b)(i) above.

(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities within 5 Trading Days of the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchasers and their respective counsel.

(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Purchasers or other persons in accordance with Sections 4.7(b)(iii) or 4.7(b)(v) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

4.8Securities Laws Disclosure;Publicity. The Company shall no later than 9 a.m., New York City time on May 24, 2006, issue a press release acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”).

communications with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement, filing or other communication without the prior consent of the other, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement, filing or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except by way of filing this Agreement as an exhibit to the 8-K Filing, and otherwise to the extent such disclosure (but not any disclosure as to the controlling Persons thereof) is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure.

4.9Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued expenses in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), to redeem any Company equity or equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.

4.10Reimbursement. If any Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, partner, controlling person, employee or agent of a Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (a “Related Person”) becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding brought by or against any Person in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless such Purchaser or Related Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation, preparation and travel) and for any Losses incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses or Losses are incurred, excluding only Losses that result directly from such Purchaser’s or Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or breach of any provision of the Transaction Documents. In addition, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and Related Person from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any breach by the Company of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach. The conduct of any Proceedings for which indemnification is available under this paragraph shall be governed by Section 5(c) of the Registration Rights Agreements. The indemnification obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Purchasers and any such Related Persons. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any Related Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that any Losses incurred by the Company result from such Purchaser’s violation of law, material breach of this Agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Purchaser or Related Person in connection with such transactions. If the Company breaches its obligations under any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Transaction Document or applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable

attorneys fees and expenses). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph.

4.11Default Interest. If the Company fails to make any cash payment required by any Transaction Document in full when due, then the Company shall pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum rate that is permitted to be paid under applicable law) from the date such payment was due until such amount, plus all such interest thereon, is paid in full.

4.12Rights of Shareholders. Each time the Company delivers a notice or other communication to holders of the Common Stock it will contemporaneously deliver a copy of such notice or communication to the Purchasers.

4.13MFN Provision. If any time prior to the date on which the Company has consummated one or more equity financings with gross proceeds to the Company of more than $15,000,000 following the Closing Date, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company offers to issue or issues to any Person any security of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, then the Company shall offer to each Purchaser the right to exchange all or a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock then held by such Purchaser valued at the then Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, of such Series E Preferred Stock for such security. For example, if a Holder of 100,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock with a stated value of $50.00 per share exchanges all 100,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock in exercise of its rights under this provision, such Holder would have $5,000,000 of credit to apply towards the purchase of the new security, at the price being offered to the other offerees. Such offer shall made at the same time and in the same manner as if such offer is being made to any other potential purchaser of such security. Each Purchaser shall have 20 Trading Days to review the offer and determine whether it wants to exchange all or any portion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

4.14Shareholders Rights Plan. In the event that a shareholders rights plan is adopted by the Company, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any such plan or in any way could be deemed to trigger the provisions of such plan by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.

6.15Remedies.

6.17Usury. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate of interest applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.

6.18Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights as Among the Purchasers. 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 of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of the 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 or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any 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 Document. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Purchasers are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. 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 represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiations of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and each party represents and confirms that Malhotra & Associates LLP represents only Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd. in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

6.19Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in Common Shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly Common Shares), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
