REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Except as set forth on a Disclosure Schedule executed and delivered by the Company to each Purchaser (the "DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE"), the Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser as follows: -3- (a) Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the "SUBSIDIARIES") is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify or be in good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means any effect which, individually or in the aggregate with all other effects, reasonably would be expected to be materially adverse to (i) the sale, issuance or value of the Securities, (ii) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or (iii) the business, operations, properties, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, that any such effect resulting solely from changes affecting the economy or financial markets generally shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect. (b) Authorization; Enforcement. (i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to issue and sell the Units in accordance with the terms hereof, to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof and to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Units and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) have been duly authorized by the Company's Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or any committee of the Board of Directors is required, and (iii) this Agreement constitutes, and, upon execution and delivery by the Company of the other Transaction Documents, such Transaction Documents will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Units or the issuance or reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares) requires any consent or authorization of the Company's stockholders. (c) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company as of the date hereof, including the authorized capital stock, the number of shares issued and outstanding, the number of shares issuable and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans (including the Company's Revised Management Incentive Plan), the number of shares issuable and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, dated June 28, 2004 (the "PLAN OF REORGANIZATION"), the number of shares issuable and reserved for issuance pursuant to securities (other than the Preferred Stock and the Warrants) exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, any shares of capital stock and the number of shares to be reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants is set forth in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock have been, or upon issuance in accordance with the terms of any such exercisable, exchangeable -4- or convertible securities will be, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the stockholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances. Except for the Securities and as set forth in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor are any such issuances, contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements contemplated, (ii) there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of its or their securities under the Securities Act (except the Registration Rights Agreement); (iii) there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to redeem or otherwise acquire any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iv) the Company does not have any shareholder rights plan, "poison pill" or other anti-takeover plans. Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth all of the securities or instruments issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that contain anti-dilution or similar provisions, and, except as and to the extent set forth thereon, the sale and issuance of the Securities will not trigger any anti-dilution adjustments to any such securities or instruments. The Company has furnished to each Purchaser true and correct copies of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof ("CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION"), the Company's Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof (the "BYLAWS"), and all other instruments and agreements governing securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for capital stock of the Company, all of which instruments and agreements are set forth in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or any such Subsidiary. (d) Issuance of Securities. The Units (and the securities comprising the Units) are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (i) will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances, (ii) will not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company or any other person and (iii) will not impose personal liability on the holder thereof. The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof, (x) will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances, (y) will not be subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of stockholders of the Company or any other person and (z) will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof. (e) No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the -5- issuance of the Units and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment (including, without limitation, the triggering of any anti-dilution provisions), acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which either the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Except (w) as may be required under the Securities Act in connection with the performance of the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, (x) for the filing of a Form D with the SEC, (y) as may be required for compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, or (z) as otherwise set forth in Section 3(e) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or other third party (including, without limitation, pursuant to any Material Contract (as defined in Section 3(g) below)) in order for it to execute and deliver this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. (f) Compliance. The Company is not in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents and no Subsidiary is in violation of any of its organizational documents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, nor has there occurred any event giving others (with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (including, without limitation, the Material Contracts), except for actual or possible violations, defaults or rights that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for possible violations the sanctions for which either individually or in the aggregate have not had and would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any Subsidiary, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity, made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds, violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee. The Company and its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, provincial or foreign regulatory authorities that are material to the conduct of its business, and neither the Company -6- nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceeding relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit. (g) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. Since August 31, 2001, the Company has timely filed (within applicable extension periods) all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT") (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). The Company has delivered to each Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, or such documents are available on EDGAR. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings made prior to the date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the Select SEC Documents (as defined below), the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of such financial statements and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under GAAP to be reflected in such financial statements, which liabilities and obligations referred to in clauses (i) and (ii), individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company has either satisfied or has set aside on its books and records provisions reasonably adequate for the satisfaction of all Claims (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. To the extent required by the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, the Select SEC Documents contain a complete and accurate list of all material undischarged written or oral contracts, agreements, leases or other instruments to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is subject (each, a "MATERIAL CONTRACT"). Except as set forth in the Select SEC Documents, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any of the other parties thereto is in breach or violation of any Material Contract, which breach or violation -7- would have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, "SELECT SEC DOCUMENTS" means the Company's (A) Proxy Statement relating to its 2003 Annual Meeting, (B) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003 (the "2003 ANNUAL REPORT"), (C) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended November 30, 2003, February 29, 2004 and May 31, 2004 and (D) Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since August 31, 2003. (h) Internal Accounting Controls. Although the Company has not implemented, and is not yet required to implement, the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains 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 GAAP 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. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Company and designed such disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the 2003 Annual Report and the Company's most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (each such date, an "EVALUATION DATE"). The Company presented in the 2003 Annual Report and its most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the respective Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date for the 2003 Annual Report, there have been no significant changes in the Company's "internal controls" (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls. (i) Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth in the Select SEC Documents, since August 31, 2003, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, properties, operations, prospects, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Company does not currently expect to take any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy or receivership law, nor does the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. (j) Transactions With Affiliates. Except as set forth in the Select SEC Documents, none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services solely in their capacity as officers, directors or employees), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, -8- providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director or employee or any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer, director, or employee has an ownership interest of five percent or more or is an officer, director, trustee or partner. (k) Absence of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Select SEC Documents and as set forth in Section 3(k) of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body (including, without limitation, the SEC) pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors or officers in their capacities as such. There are no facts which, if known by a potential claimant or governmental authority, could give rise to a claim or proceeding which, if asserted or conducted with results unfavorable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. (l) Intellectual Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns or is duly licensed (and, in such event, has the unfettered right to grant sublicenses) to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, service marks, copyrights, copyright applications, licenses, permits, inventions, discoveries, processes, scientific, technical, engineering and marketing data, object and source codes, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) and other similar rights and proprietary knowledge (collectively, "INTANGIBLES") necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted and as presently contemplated to be conducted in the future. Section 3(l) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of all Intangibles owned and/or used by the Company in its business. To the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company infringes or is in conflict with any right of any other person with respect to any third party Intangibles. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any pending conflict with or infringement upon such third party Intangibles. Except as set forth on Section 3(l) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into any consent agreement, indemnification agreement, forbearance to sue or settlement agreement with respect to the validity of the Company's or its Subsidiaries' ownership of or right to use its Intangibles and the Company has no knowledge of any reasonable basis for any such claim to be successful. The Intangibles are valid and enforceable and no registration relating thereto has lapsed, expired or been abandoned or canceled or is the subject of cancellation or other adversarial proceedings, and all applications therefor are pending and in good standing. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied, in all material respects, with their respective contractual obligations relating to the protection of the Intangibles used pursuant to licenses. To the Company's knowledge, no person is infringing on or violating the Intangibles owned or used by the Company or its Subsidiaries. (m) Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and merchantable title to all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property -9- by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company and its Subsidiaries. (n) Tax Status. Except as set forth in the Select SEC Documents, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all foreign, U.S. federal, state, provincial and local income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. Except as set forth on Section 3(n) of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to any statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state, provincial or local tax. None of the Company's tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority. (o) Key Employees. Each of the Company's directors and officers and any Key Employee (as defined below) is currently serving the Company in the capacity disclosed in the Select SEC Documents. No Key Employee is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each Key Employee does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any material liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. Each Key Employee has entered into an employment contract with the Company that provides for a term of employment as set forth on Section 3(o) of the Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of the Company and its Subsidiaries, no Key Employee has any intention to terminate or limit his employment with, or services to, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is any such Key Employee subject to any constraints which would cause such employee to be unable to devote his full time and attention to such employment or services. For purposes of this Agreement, "KEY EMPLOYEE" means the persons listed in Section 3(o) of the Disclosure Schedule and any individual who assumes or performs any of the duties of a Key Employee. (p) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is involved in any material union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. -10- (q) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has in force fire, casualty, product liability and other insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount to allow it to replace any of its material properties or assets which might be damaged or destroyed or sufficient to cover liabilities to which the Company may reasonably become subject, and such types and amounts of other insurance with respect to its business and properties, on both a per occurrence and an aggregate basis, as are customarily carried by persons engaged in the same or similar business as the Company. No default or event has occurred that could give rise to a default under any such policy. (r) Environmental Matters. There is no environmental litigation or other environmental proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any governmental regulatory authority or others with respect to the current or any former business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any partnership or joint venture currently or at any time affiliated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No state of facts exists as to environmental matters or Hazardous Substances (as defined below) that involves the reasonable likelihood of a material capital expenditure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company's knowledge, no Hazardous Substances have been treated, stored or disposed of, or otherwise deposited, in or on the properties owned or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by any partnership or joint venture currently or at any time affiliated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any applicable environmental laws. The environmental compliance programs of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all environmental laws, whether foreign, federal, state, provincial or local, currently in effect. For purposes of this Agreement, "HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES" means any substance, waste, contaminant, pollutant or material that has been determined by any governmental authority to be capable of posing a risk of injury to health, safety, property or the environment. (s) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, (i) the Company's fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company's existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company's assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. 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). (t) Listing. The Common Stock is currently listed for trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (the "SMALLCAP MARKET"). Except for the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450 requirement that the Company's common stock maintain a minimum bid price per share of $1.00, the Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the SmallCap Market and does not presently reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the SmallCap Market during the one-year period immediately following the Closing. The Company has not -11- received any notice regarding the possible delisting of the Common Stock from the SmallCap Market. On or prior to the Closing, the Company will have secured the listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares on the SmallCap Market and on each other national securities exchange, automated quotation system or over-the-counter market upon which shares of Common Stock are currently listed (subject to official notice of issuance). (u) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the resale of its Common Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. There exist no facts or circumstances that would prohibit or delay the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Company has no basis to believe that its past or present independent public auditors will withhold their consent to the inclusion, or incorporation by reference, of their audit opinion concerning the Company's financial statements which are included in the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. (v) Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under its Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the state of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to any Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and any and all Purchaser's ownership of the Securities. (w) Acknowledgment Regarding Each Purchaser's Purchase of the Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of arm's length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of Closing, no Purchaser is (i) an officer or director of the Company, or (ii) an "affiliate" of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including any successor rule, "RULE 144")). The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser's purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives. (x) No General Solicitation or Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any distributor participating on the Company's behalf in the transactions contemplated hereby (if any) nor any person acting for the Company, or any such distributor, has conducted any "general solicitation" (as such term is defined in Regulation D) with respect to any of the Securities being offered hereby. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered hereby under the Securities Act or cause this offering of Securities to be integrated -12- with any prior offering of securities of the Company for purposes of the Securities Act, which result of such integration would require registration under the Securities Act, or any applicable stockholder approval provisions. (y) No Brokers. Other than the fee to North Consulting Corp. referred to in Section 4(r), the Company has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finder's fees or similar payments by any Purchaser relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. (z) Acknowledgment Regarding Securities. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may increase in certain circumstances. The Company's directors and executive officers have studied and fully understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereunder. The Company acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof and the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof is absolute and unconditional, regardless of the dilution that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders and the availability of remedies provided for in any of the Transaction Documents relating to a failure or refusal to issue Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares. Taking the foregoing into account, the Company's Board of Directors has determined in its good faith business judgment that the issuance of the Units hereunder and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. (aa) Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement or provided to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which has not been publicly disclosed but, under applicable law, rule or regulation, would be required to be disclosed by the Company in an annual or quarterly report filed on the date hereof by the Company under the Exchange Act. 4. COVENANTS. (a) Commercially Reasonable Efforts. The parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts timely to satisfy each of the conditions described in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement. (b) Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall file with the SEC a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and provide a copy thereof to each Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to each Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States or obtain exemption therefrom, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date. Before the beginning -13- of the trading day immediately following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Form 8-K with the SEC concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, which Form 8-K shall attach this Agreement and its Exhibits as exhibits to such Form 8-K (the "8-K FILING"). As of the date of the 8-K Filing, the Company hereby acknowledges that no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Purchaser with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the 8-K Filing without the express written consent of such Purchaser; provided, however, that a Purchaser that exercises its rights under Section 4(m) hereof or Article XI.B, XI.C or XI.D of the Certificate of Designation shall be deemed to have given such express written consent, but only with respect to the information obtained as a direct result of the assertion of such rights. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Purchaser shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). (c) Reporting Status. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer that files reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. In addition, the Company shall take all actions necessary to meet the "registrant eligibility" requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 or any successor form thereto, to continue to be eligible to register the resale of its Common Stock on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act. (d) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale and issuance of the Units for general corporate purposes and working capital. Such proceeds shall not be used to (i) pay dividends; (ii) pay for any increase in executive compensation, pay any severance fee or similar payment, or make any loan or other advance to any officer, employee, shareholder, director or other affiliate of the Company, without the express approval of the Board of Directors acting in accordance with past practice; (iii) purchase debt or equity securities of any entity (including redeeming the Company's own securities), except for (A) evidences of indebtedness issued or fully guaranteed by the United States of America and having a maturity of not more than one year from the date of acquisition, (B) certificates of deposit, notes, acceptances and repurchase agreements having a maturity of not more than one year from the date of acquisition issued by a bank organized in the United States having capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $500,000,000, (C) the highest-rated commercial paper having a maturity of not more than one year from the date of acquisition, and (D) "Money Market" fund shares, or money market accounts fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and sponsored by banks and other financial institutions, provided that the investments consist principally of the types of investments described in clauses (A), (B), or (C) above; (iv) make any investment not directly -14- related to the current business of the Company; or (v) to satisfy any obligations pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, including the payment of any Claims (as defined therein) pursuant thereto. (e) Financial Information. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall send (via electronic transmission or otherwise) the following reports to each such Purchaser: (i) within ten days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, its proxy statements and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; and (ii) within one day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. (f) Reservation of Shares. The Company currently has authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion of the Preferred Stock and issuance of the Conversion Shares in connection therewith, the full exercise of the Warrants and the issuance of the Warrant Shares in connection therewith and as otherwise required by the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the "ISSUANCE OBLIGATIONS"). In the event such number of shares becomes insufficient to satisfy the Issuance Obligations, the Company shall take all necessary action to authorize and reserve such additional shares of Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Issuance Obligations. (g) Listing. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall maintain the listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants on each national securities exchange, automated quotation system or electronic bulletin board on which shares of Common Stock are currently listed. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the SmallCap Market or on the Nasdaq National Market (the "NATIONAL MARKET"), the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") and shall comply in all respects with the reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), such exchanges, or such electronic system, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each Purchaser copies of any notices it receives regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for trading on any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed or quoted, if any. (h) Corporate Existence. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, and in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Company shall ensure that the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and therewith regardless of whether or not the Company would have had a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance in order to effect the conversion of all the Preferred Stock and exercise in full of all Warrants outstanding as of the date of such transaction and (ii) except in the event of a merger, consolidation of the Company into any other corporation, or the sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company -15- where the consideration consists solely of cash, the surviving or successor entity is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is listed for trading on the SmallCap Market, the National Market, the NYSE or the AMEX. (i) No Integrated Offerings. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for purposes of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities. (j) Legal Compliance. The Company shall conduct its business and the business of its Subsidiaries in compliance with all laws, ordinances or regulations of governmental entities applicable to such businesses, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. (k) Redemptions, Dividends and Repayments of Indebtedness. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Preferred Stock, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding (which approval may be given or withheld by such holders in their sole and absolute discretion), repurchase, redeem or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock of the Company or repay or prepay any indebtedness of the Company other than as expressly required pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness as in effect on the date hereof. (l) Information. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall furnish to each such Purchaser: (i) concurrently with the filing with the SEC of its annual reports on Form 10-K, a certificate of the President, a Vice President or a senior financial officer of the Company stating that, based upon such examination or investigation and review of this Agreement as in the opinion of the signer is necessary to enable the signer to express an informed opinion with respect thereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is or has during such period been in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof, or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be or shall have been in default, specifying all such defaults, and the nature and period of existence thereof, and what action the Company or such Subsidiary has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; and (ii) the information the Company must deliver to any holder or to any prospective transferee of Securities in order to permit the sale or other transfer of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144A of the SEC or any similar rule then in effect. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a true copy of this Agreement (as at the time in effect), and cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any holder of Securities or any prospective transferee of Securities designated by a holder thereof. -16- (m) Inspection of Properties and Books. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, each such Purchaser who then holds Securities and its representatives and agents (collectively, the "INSPECTORS") shall have the right, at such Purchaser's expense, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and of its Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account and records of the Company and of its Subsidiaries, to make or be provided with copies and extracts therefrom, to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and of its Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, its and their officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company authorizes such accountants to discuss such affairs, finances and accounts, whether or not a representative of the Company is present) all at such reasonable times and intervals and to such reasonable extent as the Purchasers may desire; provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to such Purchaser) of any such information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (in which case the Company shall immediately promptly (but in no event more than two trading days after receiving notification from the Inspector) a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing such information), (ii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. Each Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the information deemed confidential. (n) Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim shall be made or enforced by the Company or any director, officer, employee, representative or other person acting on behalf of the Company that any Purchaser is an "Acquiring Person" under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. (o) Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by any Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company shall execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser. (p) Variable Securities. So long as any Purchasers (or any of their respective affiliates) beneficially own any of the Securities, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the written approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding -17- (which approval may be given or withheld by such holders in their sole and absolute discretion), issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, or any other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, at an effective conversion, exchange or exercise price that varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price. (q) Participation Right. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4(q), for twelve months following the Closing Date, the Purchasers shall have a right to participate with respect to the issuance or possible issuance of (i) future equity or equity-linked securities, or (ii) debt which is convertible into equity or in which there is an equity component ("ADDITIONAL SECURITIES") on the same terms and conditions as offered by the Company to the other purchasers of such Additional Securities. Each time the Company proposes to offer any Additional Securities, the Company shall make an offering of such Additional Securities to each Purchaser in accordance with the following provisions: (i) the Company shall deliver a notice (the "NOTICE") to the Purchasers stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Additional Securities, (ii) the number of such Additional Securities to be offered, (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Additional Securities, and (iv) the anticipated closing date of the sale of such Additional Securities. (ii) by written notification received by the Company, within fifteen (15) days after giving of the Notice, any Purchaser may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Additional Securities which equals one-half multiplied by the proportion that the subscription amount of such Purchaser for the Units (as set forth on such Purchaser's Execution Page) bears to the aggregate subscription amount of all Purchasers for the Units, provided, however, that if the terms set forth in the Notice contemplate consideration for such Additional Securities to be paid in a form other than cash, any Purchaser may elect to purchase or obtain such Additional Securities at a price equal to the fair market value of the consideration set forth in the Notice, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors. The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Purchaser that elects to purchase all of the Additional Securities available to it ("FULLY-EXERCISING PURCHASER") of any other Purchaser's failure to do likewise. During the five-day period commencing after such information is given, each Fully-Exercising Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the Additional Securities for which the Purchasers were entitled to subscribe but that were not subscribed for by the Purchasers that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock that such Fully-Exercising Purchaser would have the right to acquire (assuming the full conversion of such Purchaser's shares of Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock that all Fully-Exercising Purchasers who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed shares would have the right to acquire (assuming the full conversion, without any limitations or restrictions, of such Purchasers' shares of Preferred Stock into Conversion Shares); (iii) if all Additional Securities that the Purchasers are entitled to obtain pursuant to subsection 4(q)(ii) are not elected to be obtained as -18- provided in subsection 4(q)(ii) hereof, the Company may, during the 90-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 4(q)(ii) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Additional Securities to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not consummate the sale of such Additional Securities within such period, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Additional Securities shall not be offered or sold unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith; (iv) the participation right in this Section 4(q) shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Company for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or service pursuant to a stock option plan (or similar equity incentive plan) approved by the Board of Directors and the stockholders, (ii) upon conversion of any convertible securities outstanding as of Closing and as disclosed in Section 3(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, (iii) the issuance of securities in connection with a bona fide public offering at an offering price per share (prior to underwriter's commissions and discounts) of not less than the Conversion Price (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designation) (as adjusted to reflect any stock dividends, distributions, combinations, reclassifications and other similar transactions effected by the Corporation in respect to its Common Stock) that is underwritten by a nationally recognized underwriting firm and results in net proceeds to the Company of at least twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), (iv) the issuance or sale of the Preferred Stock, (v) the issuance of securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, strategic business partnerships or joint ventures, the primary purpose of which, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors, is not to raise additional capital, or (vi) any issuance of securities as to which the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall have executed a written waiver of the rights contained in this Section 4(q). (v) the participation right set forth in this Section 4(q) may not be assigned or transferred, except that such right is assignable by each Purchaser to any wholly-owned subsidiary or parent of, or to any corporation or entity that is, within the meaning of the Securities Act, controlling, controlled by or under common control with, any such Purchaser or to any permitted transferee of the Preferred Stock. (r) Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser reimbursement for the out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, its affiliates and its or their advisors in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, each Purchaser's and their respective affiliates' and advisors' reasonable due diligence and attorneys' fees and expenses (the "EXPENSES"); provided, however, that each Purchaser shall be permitted, in its discretion, to deduct all of its Expenses from the Purchase Price payable by such Purchaser hereunder; and provided, further, that, unless prior approval is obtained from the Company, the aggregate amount of the Expenses payable to all Purchasers shall not exceed $99,000.00 (the "EXPENSE CAP"), which Expense Cap shall be allocated, first, to SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd., and, second, any remaining amount within the Expense Cap shall be allocated among the remaining Purchasers (other than SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd.) pro rata in accordance with their respective Purchase Price amounts. In addition, from time to time thereafter, upon any Purchaser's written request, the Company shall pay to such Purchaser such additional Expenses -19- (not to exceed, in the aggregate for all Purchasers, the Expense Cap), if any, not covered by such payment, in each case to the extent reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, its affiliates or its or their advisors in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall pay North Consulting Corp. a fee in the amount of $250,000.00, which SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd. shall be entitled to deduct from the Purchase Price payable by it hereunder and pay directly to North Consulting Corp. (s) Right of First Refusal. If the Company desires to contract with or otherwise engage any unrelated third party to provide technical recruiting, call center service, outsourced software engineering and integration services, or any similar services (collectively, the "OUTSOURCED SERVICES"), the Company shall give written notification (the "OUTSOURCING NOTIFICATION") of such desire to SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd. SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd. shall have fifteen (15) days from its receipt of the Outsourcing Notification in which to advise the Company of its desire to appoint a designee (the "OUTSOURCING DESIGNEE") to provide such Outsourced Services to the Company. The Outsourcing Designee shall then have the exclusive right, during the thirty (30) day period following the date on which the Company receives written notice of such Outsourcing Designee's appointment, to develop and deliver to the Company a formal proposal (the "PROPOSAL") for the provision of such Outsourced Services. The Company shall accept such Proposal if the terms of the Proposal are commercially reasonable. If an Outsourcing Designee is not appointed, or if the Outsourcing Designee fails to deliver to the Company a Proposal in the manner described above, the Company shall have the right to solicit and consider alternative proposals to provide such Outsourced Services, provided, however, that if a contract to provide such Outsourced Services is not executed within ninety (90) days after the Outsourcing Notification, then the provisions of this Section 4(s) will apply again to the Outsourced Services as if the initial Outsourcing Notification had ever been provided. 5. SECURITIES TRANSFER MATTERS. (a) Conversion and Exercise. Upon conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants by any person, (i) if the DTC Transfer Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares by crediting the account of such person or its nominee with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system; or (ii) if the DTC Transfer Conditions are not satisfied, the Company shall issue and deliver, or instruct its transfer agent to issue and deliver, certificates (subject to the legend and other applicable provisions hereof and the Certificate of Designation and Warrants), registered in the name of such person its nominee, physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, as applicable. Even if the DTC Transfer Conditions are satisfied, any person effecting a conversion of Preferred Stock or exercising Warrants may instruct the Company to deliver to such person or its nominee physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, as applicable, in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer. For purposes of this Agreement, "DTC TRANSFER CONDITIONS" means that (A) the Company's transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program and (B) the certificates for the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares required to be delivered do not bear a legend and the -20- person effecting such conversion or exercise is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon. (b) Transfer or Resale. Each Purchaser understands that (i) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the sale or resale of the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (A) the transfer is made pursuant to and as set forth in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Securities; or (B) such Purchaser shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; or (C) sold under and in compliance with Rule 144; and (ii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws (other than pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement, provided such pledge is consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. (c) Legends. Each Purchaser understands that the Preferred Stock and Warrants and, until such time as the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder) as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold by such Purchaser under Rule 144, the certificates for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form: The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state of the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The securities represented hereby may not be offered, sold or transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under applicable securities laws unless offered, sold or transferred pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of those laws. The Company shall, immediately prior to a registration statement covering the Securities (including, without limitation, the Registration Statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement) being declared effective, deliver to its transfer agent an opinion letter of counsel, opining that at any time such registration statement is effective, the transfer agent shall issue, in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, certificates representing such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares without the restrictive legend above, provided such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares are to be sold pursuant to the prospectus contained in such registration statement. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transfer agent to confirm, for the benefit of the holders, that no further opinion of counsel is required at the time of transfer in order to issue such shares without such restrictive legend. -21- The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the sale of such Security is registered under the Securities Act (including registration pursuant to Rule 416 thereunder); (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold under Rule 144. In the event the above legend is removed from any Security and thereafter the effectiveness of a registration statement covering such Security is suspended or the Company determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities laws, then upon reasonable advance written notice to such Purchaser the Company may require that the above legend be placed on any such Security that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144 and such Purchaser shall cooperate in the replacement of such legend. Such legend shall thereafter be removed when such Security may again be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or under Rule 144. (d) Transfer Agent Instruction. Upon compliance by any Purchaser with the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the transfer of any Securities, the Company shall permit the transfer of such Securities and, in the case of the transfer of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates (or effect a DTC Transfer) in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser. The Company shall not give any instructions to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, other than any permissible or required instructions provided in this Section 5, and the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. 6.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 8(l) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall limit any rights any Purchaser may have under any applicable federal or state securities laws with respect to the investment contemplated hereby.
