The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as of the date hereof as follows (which representations and warranties are supplemented by the Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) made up to three (3) business days prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Exchange Act Filings”), public access to copies of such filings having been made available to the Purchasers; provided, however, that if there is any discrepancy between the description included on a Schedule delivered by the Company hereunder and the Exchange Act Filings, such description on the Schedule shall govern):

3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Shares, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Conversion Shares dated as of the date hereof between the Company and the Purchasers (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and (iv) any other agreements related to this Agreement and the Shares referred to herein (the preceding clauses (ii) through (iv), collectively, the “Related Agreements”), to issue the Shares and Conversion Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so has not, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), properties or operations of the Company and it Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

3.2 Subsidiaries. Each direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company, the direct owner of such Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 3.2. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency that has not yet occurred) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii) a corporation or other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests at such time.

3.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of the date hereof consists of 175,000,000 shares, of which 170,000,000 are shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 48,766,494 shares of which are issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 100,000 shares of which have been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 35,557 of which shares are issued and outstanding; 1,000,000 shares of which have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which shares are issued and outstanding; and 600,000 shares of which have been designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, none of which shares are issued and outstanding.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.3, neither the Exchange Offer nor issuance of the Shares, nor the issuance of any of the Conversion Shares, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby will result in a change in the price or number of any securities of the Company issuable or outstanding, under anti-dilution or other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

All corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action on the part of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (including the respective officers and directors) necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the performance of all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries hereunder and under the other Related Agreements and, the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the Securities has been

The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party, and the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company each pursuant hereto and thereto, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term or provision, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

3.12 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12 hereto or as disclosed in any Exchange Act Filings, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that prevents the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from entering into this Agreement or the other Related Agreements, or from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis to assert any of the foregoing.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with their duties to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. Except for employees who have a current effective employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, no employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Related Agreement and the issuance of any of the Securities, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings that must be made after the Closing, as will be filed in a timely manner. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has all material franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8. Conversion of Convertible Shares

8.1 Mechanics of Conversion.

(a) Provided a Purchaser has notified the Company of such Purchaser’s intention to sell the Conversion Shares and the Conversion Shares are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold: (i) upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser following a request by the Purchaser) to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the name of such Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by such Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.1(b) hereof and in such denominations to be specified representing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion; and (ii) the Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in

the Registration Rights Agreement) the Conversion Shares issued will be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares.

(b) A Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its Series C Preferred Stock or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be converted to the Company, which notice shall be in the form attached to the Series C Preferred Stock or attached hereto as Exhibit B, as applicable (the “Notice of Conversion”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender its Series C Preferred Stock until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below) representing the Conversion Shares, or, in the event that the Conversion Shares are not electronically transferable, until such Purchaser actually receives the certificates representing the Conversion Shares. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Purchaser by (i) crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system or (ii) in the event that the Conversion Shares are not electronically transferable, by delivery of the certificates via overnight courier, in each case within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).

(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof beyond the applicable Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the applicable Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Conversion Shares to such Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 8.1(b) above and the Conversion Shares are not delivered to such Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to such Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to such Purchaser for late issuance of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) one percent (1%) of the face amount of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser per business day after the Delivery Date, or (ii) such Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not owe such Purchaser any late payments if the delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares beyond the Delivery Date is the result of any action or inaction of such Purchaser in violation of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in

immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages.

(d) In addition to any other rights available to the Purchasers, if the Company fails to deliver to a Purchaser such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 8(b) by the Delivery Date and if within seven (7) business days after the Delivery Date, the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the Common Stock which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Purchaser (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Purchaser) within five (5) business days after written notice from the Purchaser, the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the stated value of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, for which such conversion was not timely honored, together with interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Purchaser purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of stated value of Series C Preferred Stock, the Company shall be required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest. The Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect of the Buy-In.

(e) In the event a Purchaser shall elect to convert any part of the Shares, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Purchaser or any one associated or affiliated with the Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Securities shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Purchaser in the amount of 120% of the amount of such Securities which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Purchaser to the extent Purchaser obtains judgment.

Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum amount permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to the Company.

9. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Purchasers pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Company and the Purchasers.

10. Miscellaneous.
