UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

SCOLR PHARMA, INC.

ThisUNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made as of this 12^th day of March, 2010, betweenSCOLR PHARMA, INC., a Delaware corporation with its principal offices at 19204 North Creek Parkway, Suite 100, Bothell, Washington 98011 (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Subscriber”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue, in a private placement, Units each consisting of one share of common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one-fifth of one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE Amex Exchange on the date prior to the date subscriptions for Units are accepted (each an “Investor Warrant” and, collectively, the “Investor Warrants”), with a minimum aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) of Units and a maximum aggregate purchase price of $4,100,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) of Units; and

WHEREAS, Subscriber desires to acquire Units having an aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchase Price”);

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SECURITIES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER.

1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company Units having the Purchase Price (and the Company agrees to sell such Units to the Subscriber for the Purchase Price), subject to the Company’s right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of Units as it may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. As the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock, each Subscriber will be issued that number of whole Units which the Purchase Price will purchase (to the extent accepted), rounded down to the next number of whole Units. Any portion of the Purchase Price not applied to the purchase of Units will be returned to the Subscriber, without interest. The Purchase Price is payable, at or prior to the closing of this Agreement, by wire transfer, subject to collection, as set forth in the“INSTRUCTIONS TO SUBSCRIBERS” contained in the Subscription Documents Booklet of which this Agreement is a part.

1.2. The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Units involves a high degree of risk in that (i) the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and the Company has no obligation to register the Units or any securities contained therein or issuable upon exercise of the warrants contained therein, except as set forth

in Section 3 below; (ii) an investment in the Units is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Units; (iii) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate the Subscriber’s investment; and (iv) the Subscriber could sustain the loss of Subscriber’s entire investment. Such risks are more fully set forth in the Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated March 3, 2010, including the Exhibits thereto (as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Memorandum”).

1.3. The private placement of the Units by the Company (the “Private Placement Offering”) pursuant to the Memorandum shall continue for a period commencing on the date of the Memorandum and ending on the date set forth in the Memorandum.

1.4.Treasury Department Circular 230 Disclosure. To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, the Subscriber is hereby notified that: (i) any discussion of U.S. Federal tax issues in this Agreement or the Memorandum is not intended or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon, by the Subscriber for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the Subscriber under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (ii) such discussion is included herein by the Company in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of Circular 230) by the Company of the transactions or matters addressed herein or therein; and (iii) the Subscriber should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

1.5. The Subscriber represents as follows:

(a) The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an Accredited Investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act) as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the Confidential Investor Questionnaire, a copy of which is included in the Subscription Documents Booklet, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of investment in the Units. The Subscriber is not an officer, director or “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 403 under the 1933 Act) of the Company.

(b) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. The Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has carefully read the Memorandum, including but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated November 25, November 30 and December 16, 2009, January 4, 2010 and February 18, 2010, and the Company’s Proxy Statement dated April 29, 2009 for its 2009 Annual Meeting held on June 11, 2009, and fully understands the contents thereof, and the Subscriber has not received any other offering literature or prospectus and no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or its employees, affiliates or agents, other than the representations set forth in the Memorandum.

(c) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Units were not offered to the Subscriber by any means of general solicitation or general advertising. In that regard, the Subscriber is not subscribing for the Units: (i) as a result of, or subsequent to, becoming aware of

- 2 -

any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium, generally available electronic communication, broadcast over television or radio or generally available to the public on the internet or worldwide web; (ii) as a result of, or subsequent to, attendance at a seminar or meeting called by any of the means set forth in (i) above; or (iii) as a result of, or subsequent to, any solicitations by a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investment in Units generally.

(d) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Private Placement Offering and the Memorandum have not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or by a state securities regulator because it is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the 1933 Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Units are being purchased for the Subscriber’s own account, for investment purposes only and not for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer the Units or the securities contained in the Units or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants contained in the Units unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.

(e) The Subscriber understands that the Units have not been registered under the 1933 Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the 1933 Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention. In this connection, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Subscriber’s representation merely meant that the Subscriber’s present intention was to hold the Units for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming that a market develops, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell after a pre-determined amount of time would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the Subscriber’s representations and warranties to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a deferred sale to which such exemptions are not available.

(f) The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the “Rule”) promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act requires, among other conditions, a six (6) month holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the 1933 Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its dissemination to the public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is the only entity that can register the Securities (and the common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) under the 1933 Act and that the Company is under no obligation to register the same under the 1933 Act, with the exception of certain registration rights set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Securities out of the Subscriber’s name only when the Subscriber’s request for transfer is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the 1933 Act or any applicable state “blue sky” laws and subject to the provisions of Section 1.5(g) of this Agreement.

- 3 -

(g) The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Units stating that they are “restricted securities” (as defined in the Rule) and may only be publicly offered and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the SEC or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements.

(h) The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and the Confidential Investor Questionnaire; and it is further agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription for any reason or for no reason and to close the Private Placement Offering at any time.

(i) The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by the Subscriber at the end of this Agreement is the Subscriber’s principal residence, if the Subscriber is an individual, or its principal business address, if the Subscriber is a corporation or other entity.

(j) The Subscriber and its advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the Company and the Private Placement Offering, and all such questions, if any, have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its advisors, if any; and the Company shall provide the Subscriber or its advisors, if any, with the opportunity to ask additional questions of and receive answers (all of which information shall be limited to publicly available information) from the Company concerning the Company during the period which the Subscriber owns the Shares.

(k) The Subscriber is not relying on Taglich Brothers Inc., as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) or the Company with respect to any legal or tax considerations involved in the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Units or the securities that comprise the Units.

(l) The Subscriber has such knowledge and expertise in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in an investment in the Units. All information that the Subscriber has provided concerning the Subscriber and the Subscriber’s financial position (including, without limitation, information in this Agreement or in the Confidential Investor Questionnaire included in the Subscription Documents Booklet) is true, correct and complete.

(m) The Subscriber has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and this Agreement is a legally binding obligation of the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

(n) Except as set forth in the Memorandum no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company, the Placement Agent (as defined in the Memorandum) or any of their respective agents, employees or affiliates and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not relying on any information, other than that contained in the Memorandum or the results of an independent investigation by the Subscriber.

- 4 -

(o) The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer the Units unless they are registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) the Subscriber has adequate means of providing for the Subscriber’s current needs and possible personal contingencies; (ii) the Subscriber has no need for liquidity in this investment; (iii) the Subscriber is able to bear the substantial economic risk of an investment in the Units for an indefinite period; and (iv) at the present time the Subscriber could afford a complete loss of such investment.

(p) It is understood that all documents, records and books pertaining to this investment have been made available for the inspection by the Subscriber’s attorney and/or accountant and the Subscriber, and that the books and records of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice during business hours at its principal place of business.

(q) The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any changes made by the Subscriber to any of the documents delivered to the Subscriber in connection with the Private Placement Offering shall not be effective unless the Company consents to such changes.

(r) The Subscriber understands that it and its representative(s) could be subject to fines, penalties and other liabilities under applicable securities laws if the Subscriber or its representative(s), while in possession of any material, non-public information that may be contained in the Memorandum, trade in the Common Stock or other securities of the Company or communicate such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to trade in such Common Stock or other securities. The Subscriber agrees that it and its representative(s) will refrain from trading in the Common Stock or other securities of the Company until such time as they are no longer prohibited from trading in such Common Stock or other securities under all applicable securities laws (whether because the Company has publicly disclosed all material information in the Memorandum, the Memorandum no longer containing material non-public information or otherwise).

(s) In the event that the Subscriber is acting as agent, representative or nominee for another party (each, a “Beneficial Owner”), the Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the representations, warranties and agreements made herein are made by the Subscriber: (i) with respect to the Subscriber; and (ii) with respect to each Beneficial Owner of the Units subscribed for hereby. The Subscriber represents and warrants that he, she or it has all requisite power and authority from said Beneficial Owner(s) to execute and perform the obligations under this Agreement and has anti-money laundering policies and procedures in place reasonably designed to verify the identity of each Beneficial Owner and the sources of each Beneficial Owner’s funds. Such policies and procedures are properly enforced and are consistent with anti-money laundering laws or regulations and sanctions and anti-terrorism laws and regulations, including regulations of OFAC (as defined below) such that the Company may rely on this representation. The Subscriber agrees, except to the extent specifically prohibited by applicable law, to indemnify the Company, the Placement Agent and their respective officers and agents for any and all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) in connection with any damages resulting from the Subscriber’s or any Beneficial Owner’s misrepresentation or misstatement contained herein, or the assertion of the Subscriber’s lack of proper authorization from each Beneficial Owner of the Units subscribed for hereby to enter into this Agreement or perform the obligations thereof.

3. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

3.1. As soon as possible after the Final Closing Date (as defined in the Memorandum), but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Final Closing Date (regardless of whether the Maximum Amount of Units shall have been sold), the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, file a registration statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”) on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act with the SEC covering all of the shares of Common Stock (the “Registrable Securities”) that are included in the Units and that are issuable upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined in the Memorandum), time being of the essence. The Company will use best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective, and to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (x) four years after the Final Closing Date, (y) the date when all the Registrable Securities have been sold or (z) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to the Rule 144.

3.2. In the event the Company effects any registration under the 1933 Act of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.7 of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless each person whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration statement (each, a “Seller”), any underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent of any Seller or underwriter, and each other person, if any, who controls any Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgment, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, joint or several, or actions in respect thereof (collectively, the “Claims”), to which each such indemnified party becomes subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any document filed under a state securities or blue sky law (as amended or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Registration Documents”) or insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading or a breach of any convenant or obligation of the Company hereunder, and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses or disbursements reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or defending any such Claim; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to a particular indemnified party to the extent such Claim is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such indemnified party specifically for use in the preparation of such Registration Document or a breach by the indemnified party of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder.

3.3. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Seller is participating, such Seller, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed such Registration Statement, each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, each other Seller and each underwriter, any officer, director, employee or agent of any such other Seller or underwriter and each other person, if any,

- 8 -

who controls such other Seller or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any Claims to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Document, or insofar as any Claims are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any Registration Document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses or disbursements reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating or defending any such claim; provided, however, that such indemnification or reimbursement shall be payable only if, and to the extent that, any such Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

3.4. Any person entitled to indemnification under Section 3.2 or 3.3 of this Agreement shall notify promptly the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of any Claim if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 3.4, but the omission of such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under Section 3.2 or 3.3 of this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure shall materially adversely affect any indemnifying party or its rights hereunder. In case any action is brought against the indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses or disbursements subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the Claim within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from the indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so; (ii) if the indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that there are legal defenses available to such party or parties which are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any reasonable expenses therefor; provided, that no indemnifying party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement of a Claim made without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any Claim hereunder, such indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement without the consent of the indemnified party (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement attributes liability to the indemnified party.

- 9 -

3.5. If the indemnification under Section 3.2 or 3.3 is unavailable to an indemnified party (by reason of public policy or otherwise) or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless for any Claims, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims 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 of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claims shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.5, no Subscriber shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to any litigation or other proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Subscriber has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, except in the case of fraud by such Subscriber

3.6. The provisions of Section 3.2 through 3.5 of this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

3.7. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Section 3 to use its best efforts to register any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible after filing and remain effective for the period specified in Section 3.1.

(b) Subject to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement current and effective and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, with respect to the sale or disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the

- 10 -

registration statement required to effect the distribution of the securities, but in no event shall the Company be required to do so for a period of more than four (4) years following the effective date of the Final Closing Date.

(c) Furnish to the Sellers participating in the offering pursuant to such registration statement, applicable copies (in reasonable quantities) of summary, preliminary, final, amended or supplemented prospectuses, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and any regulations promulgated thereunder, and other documents as reasonably may be required in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities, but only while the Company is required under the provisions hereof to keep the registration statement current.

(d) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States as the Sellers participating in the offering shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable each participating Seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions.

(e) Notify each Seller selling Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating to any such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to each such Seller selling Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(f) As soon as practicable after the effective date of the registration statement, and in any event within eighteen (18) months thereafter, make generally available to the Sellers participating in the offering an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including, at the Company’s option, Rule 158 thereunder. To the extent that the Company files such information with the SEC in satisfaction of the foregoing, the Company need not deliver the above referenced earnings statement to the Seller.

(g) Upon request, deliver promptly to counsel of each Seller participating in the offering copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to the registration statement and permit each such Seller to do such investigation at such Seller’s sole cost and expense, upon reasonable advance notice, with respect to information contained in or omitted from the registration statement as it deems reasonably necessary. Each Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts not to interfere unreasonably with the Company’s business when conducting any such investigation and each Seller shall keep any such information received pursuant to this Section 3 confidential.

- 11 -

(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar located in the United States for all such shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

(i) Pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with a registration of Registrable Securities, whether or not such registration statement shall become effective; provided that each Seller shall pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes, and their own counsel and accounting fees, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Seller’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. As used herein, “Registration Expenses” means any and all reasonable and customary expenses incident to performance of or compliance with the registration rights set forth herein, including, without limitation, (i) all SEC and stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities but no other expenses of or disbursements by the underwriters or their counsel), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, and (iv) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the Company’s independent public accountants.

(j) Timely make all filings with FINRA and pay all FINRA filing expenses (including FINRA filing fees and reasonable legal fees of counsel to the Placement Agent in connection with such filings) incurred in connection with filings that are required by Rule 5110 of the FINRA so that FINRA members (including without limitation the Placement Agent) may resell Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement without further filings under such rule by them.

3.8. The Company acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 3 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its obligations and agreements contained in this Section 3 may be specifically enforced. In addition, the Company shall also reimburse the Subscriber for any and all reasonable legal fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by them in enforcing their rights pursuant to this Section 3, regardless of whether any litigation was commenced; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm, which firm shall be designated by the Placement Agent.

3.9. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the NYSE Amex Exchange and, in accordance, therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable. The Company will use best efforts to cause Registrable Securities that are covered by an effective registration statement to be listed on the NYSE Amex Exchange.
