4.7Ownership Limitation. The purchase of the Securities issuable to each Purchaser at the Closing will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom such purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred.

a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days after the Six Month Anniversary which have elapsed until all principal and interest on the Notes have been duly paid by the Company and the denominator is 182.

4.10.2 If all principal and interest on the Notes is not paid by the Company by the First Anniversary, then in addition to the warrants to be issued pursuant to Section 4.10.1, within five Business Days after the earlier of (a) the date which is 18 months after the issuance date of the Notes (the “18 Month Anniversary”) and (b) the date on which all principal and interest on the Notes is duly paid by the Company, the Company shall issue to the holders of the Notes, on a pro rata basis, based on the original principal amount of the Notes issued to such holder or such holder’s transferor, warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) if all principal and interest on such Notes has not been paid by the 18 Month Anniversary, the Warrant Number or (y) if all principal and interest on such Notes is paid after the First Anniversary, but on or prior to the 18 Month Anniversary, the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Warrant Number times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days after the First Anniversary which have elapsed until all principal and interest on the Notes have been duly paid by the Company and the denominator is 182.

For purposes hereof, the term Additional Stock shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 4(d) of the Warrants.

ARTICLE V

LEGEND REMOVAL, TRANSFER, CERTAIN SALES, ADDITIONAL SHARES

5.1Removal of Legend. The Legend shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such Legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, and a certificate for a security shall be originally issued without the Legend, if, (a) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act, (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements or (c) such Security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Security can be so sold without restriction. 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. Each Purchaser agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the Legend has been removed, or which were originally issued without the Legend, in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and the Security is to be disposed of other than pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, then prior to, and as a condition to, such disposition such Security shall be relegended as provided herein in connection with any disposition if the subsequent transfer thereof would be restricted under the Securities Act. Also, in the event the Legend is removed from any Security or any Security is issued without the Legend and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance notice to Purchaser holding such Security, the Company may require that the Legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or with respect to which the opinion referred to in clause (b) next above has not been rendered, which Legend shall be removed when such Security may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 or such holder provides the opinion with respect thereto described in clause (b) next above.

5.2Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 5.1, it will, no later than ten (10) days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its nominee for the Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that no instruction other than such instructions referred to in this ARTICLE V, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2.6 hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way each Purchaser’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 5.1 hereof to resell the Securities in compliance with an exemption from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws. If (a) a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel (the reasonable cost of which shall be borne by the Company if, after six months, neither an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144 is available in connection with such sale), to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration or (b) a Purchaser transfers Securities to an affiliate which is an accredited investor (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and which delivers to the Company in written form the same representations, warranties and covenants made by the Purchasers hereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name

and in such denomination as specified by such Purchaser. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this ARTICLE V will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this ARTICLE V, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights a Purchaser may have under any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate compliance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

8.13Final Agreement. This Agreement, when executed by the parties hereto, shall constitute the final agreement between the parties and upon such execution Purchasers and the Company accept the terms hereof and have no cause of action against each other for prior negotiations preceding the execution of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Purchasers and the Company have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
