Dear fellow NetSol shareholders:
I cordially invite you to the NetSol Technologies, Inc. Annual Meeting, scheduled for April 12, 2010, at our NetSol offices in Calabasas, California. At this meeting, we will review the Company’s financial performance for fiscal year 2009, NetSol’s strategy and goals for fiscal year 2010, as well as, respond to questions. Enclosed with this proxy statement are a proxy card, voting instructions, and NetSol Technologies, Inc.’s fiscal year 2009 Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Fiscal 2009 - The Year in Review
Fiscal year 2009 was no doubt a challenging time for NetSol as well as the global economy in light of a historic recession. While our team took strategic action to adapt to the dynamic market conditions, our goal remains to expand NetSol by winning more global business, particularly in our core NetSol Financial Suite (NFS)™ offerings. In fiscal 2009, we rescaled our operations, drove internal efficiencies and implemented strategic initiatives which allowed NetSol to emerge from the latter half of fiscal year 2009 in a position of renewed strength. We have expressed our confidence that the fiscal third quarter of 2009 marked the bottom of the economic cycle for our global business.
We finished the year with a 36% sequential rise in quarterly revenue, a increase in sequential cash balances and a near doubling of our pipeline over the course of the fiscal fourth quarter 2009. As our turnaround in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2009 emerged, a clear picture of the success of our comprehensive cost efficiency measures was evident, as we reported an impressive 23% year-over-year reduction in operating expenses. When combined with renewed revenue growth, this drove material improvements in reducing the company’s sequential quarterly GAAP net loss as well as the return to quarterly EBITDA profitability.
Based on a strong finish to fiscal year 2009, we continue to see the license sale market in the automotive and banking sectors, particularly in the Asia Pacific markets, as quite promising for the next few quarters. We also believe that the U.S. market is the largest target market for NetSol Financial Suite™ and IT services offerings as the economy starts to show some visible signs of recovery. We continue to invest in the new generation of technology driven products that will further establish NetSol as a forward-thinking, innovative, strategic, global IT solution provider. As we are now well into our fiscal 2010 year, I am pleased to report that NetSol maintains a stronger revenue backlog and pipeline. We are also seeing excellent new opportunities in the government and public sectors in the Middle East and South East Asia.
With sequential top line revenue growth reestablished, improved bottom line performance, and improved sales pipeline visibility, NetSol has returned to providing financial guidance to convey the renewed strength we see in the global market. In December of 2009, we announced our expectations for fiscal year 2010 top line revenue growth of between 25% and 32% as well as calling for a return to full year GAAP profitability.

Key Drivers in Fiscal 2009
NetSol’s improvement in the second half of fiscal 2009 was primarily driven from two fronts: firstly, improved operational efficiencies and strategic initiatives within our global organization; and, secondly, through improved customer demand and purchasing trends. In fiscal year 2009, we streamlined our global corporate structure under our previously announced comprehensive cost reduction measures which provided a highly efficient operating platform, bringing operating expenses in line with revenue and helping restore margins and profitability as revenue has begun to ramp up again. Our global sales and marketing structure is now unified under the leadership of Naeem Ghauri who has established increased sales effectiveness and improved visibility around new opportunities.
On the sales front, we have seen exceptionally strong activity in Asia, particularly in China, where our NetSol Financial Suite™ of solutions for the captive finance sector stands as the de-facto leader in the market. With among the strongest economic growth worldwide and rising consumer demand, we are seeing excellent interest from Chinese customers across our key verticals including banking, finance, leasing and automotive companies. China is now the world’s largest single market for automobile sales, recently surpassing the United States in terms of unit volume. This is proving to be an excellent opportunity for NetSol based on our leadership in the automotive sector in that market. Accordingly, we are taking steps to strengthen our local market presence in China in terms of sales, marketing and IT services engineers to support burgeoning market demand.
We successfully established a new IT services joint venture, Atheeb NetSol Limited, a software engineering and joint venture company focused on kingdom of Saudi Arabia, gulf coast countries, and the Middle East; During the new joint venture company formation of Atheeb NetSol Ltd, we received a pilot IT project from Atheeb Group for over $500,000. We also established a new Neptune Software plc partnership, extending the reach of the NetSol Financial Suite (NFS)™ and LeaseSoft Evolve product into Africa, as leasing is rapidly expanding as a financing solution across the continent. Subsequent to the launch of this partnership, we also announced our first joint customer win.
These joint venture and partnership activities provide highly cost efficient ways to penetrate new global markets with the assistance of a local partner with key relationships on the ground. Our NetSol North America operation has stabilized after internal consolidation. NetSol North America remains solid with 30 plus clients, strong maintenance revenue streams and excellent growth potential for our SAP integration practice group. We also added two major new customers including Nissan’s leasing operation in Mexico.
Finally, and most importantly, we continue to have a powerful portfolio of products and services supported by CMMI Level 5 expertise and a global delivery platform that provides our customers high quality service and support.
NetSol has expanded its low cost delivery capabilities to Beijing and Bangkok supporting our Center of Excellence and state-of the-art technology campus in Lahore. We have made every effort to fully secure our main development location in Lahore against geo-political instability. Our Center of Excellence continues to provide the cost-effective, highest quality to all of our operating entities. Nonetheless, and as further reassurance to our global clients, we continue to provide local management and technical support at our streamlined proximity development centers in the Silicon Valley and in the U.K. The regional and local support to our clients located in USA, Europe and Asia Pacific has essentially lessened the dependency on the Lahore campus which continues provides support primarily on the backend.
In conclusion, NetSol has begun fiscal year 2010 with continued positive momentum as NetSol delivered another quarter of double digit top line revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2009. This rise in sales included a 99% sequential increase in license fees driven by the strength of our core NetSol Financial Suite™. Higher sales also contributed to significant improvements in our fiscal first quarter 2010 gross margin and operating margin, as well as another significant reduction in GAAP net loss as we approach our target of breakeven and long-term profitability. Fiscal first quarter EBITDA profitability also improved materially, more than doubling compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2009.
4

We are very optimistic in NetSol’s short-term and long-term outlook as we see strong growth in Asia Pacific as well as the South East Asian emerging markets, while we envision unlimited scope for our niche solutions and services in the Americas from 2010 onwards. Based on the intrinsic value of NetSol’s years of capital investment in its offerings, product maturity and the surge in demand amongst fortune 500 clients worldwide, we believe the company is extremely well positioned globally to become a significant IT solutions provide in all key markets within our space. With our new business pipeline for fiscal 2010 continuing to expand, with particular strength in our China, Asia Pacific and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia operations, we are creating new global opportunities as customers in those regions look for asset finance and lending software solutions to meet the various needs of their other international and local operations
My personal thanks go out to each of our global NetSol team members for their hard work and dedication which made our fiscal year 2009 achievements possible. I would also like to thank you for your support and encourage you to vote your proxy as well as attend the Annual Meeting on April 12, 2010 at our offices in Calabasas, California.

Sincerely,
Najeeb U. Ghauri

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by NetSol on behalf of our Board of Directors. In addition, we have retained Georgeson Inc. (“Georgeson”) to assist in the solicitation. We will pay Georgeson approximately $6,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for their assistance. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, e-mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These persons will not be paid additional or special remuneration for their efforts. We will also request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock that the brokers and fiduciaries hold of record and obtain such holders’ voting instructions. Upon request, we will reimburse such brokers and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. These materials are expected to be first mailed to stockholders on or about March 8, 2010.
VOTING AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A stockholder, giving a proxy, on the enclosed form, may revoke it at any time prior to the actual voting at the Annual Meeting by filing written notice of the termination of the appointment with an officer of the Company, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person, or by filing a new written appointment of a proxy with an officer of the Company. The revocation of a proxy will not affect any vote taken prior to the revocation. Unless a proxy is revoked or there is a direction to abstain on one or more proposals, it will be voted on each proposal and, if a choice is made with respect to any matter to be acted upon, in accordance with such choice. If no choice is specified, the proxies intend to vote the shares represented thereby to approve Proposals Nos. 1, 2, and 3, as set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and in accordance with their best judgment on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES
As of February 22, 2010, there were 35,506,277 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Provided, however, that the shares held by the Investors in the Financing which are the subject of proposal number 3, may not be voted in connection with that proposal (the “Currently Held Financing Shares”). The Currently Held Financing Shares may be voted on any and all other proposals at this meeting and may be used for purposes of determining a quorum for this meeting.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director of executive officer holds a substantial interest, either directly or indirectly, in any matter to be acted upon.
VOTING AT THE MEETING
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast on matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Annual Meeting, it is deemed to be present for all other matters. Abstentions and broker non votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. "Broker non votes" are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Under applicable Nevada law, the effect of Broker non votes on a particular matter depends on whether the matter is one as to which the broker or nominee has discretionary voting authority. Under applicable Nevada law, as it applies to the proposals presented to stockholders at this annual meeting, Broker non votes shall be treated as an abstention and such Broker non votes shall be included in the total shares voted for the purpose of quorum requirements and determining whether a majority of stockholders have approved the transactions. Treatment of Broker non votes as abstentions results in these votes being treated as “no” votes in so far as a majority of all votes cast, including Broker non votes, must be voted in favor for a proposal to be approved. A majority of votes in favor must be acquired in order for the proposals to be approved.
RETURNED PROXY CARDS WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
Proxies that are signed and returned will be voted in the manner instructed by a stockholder. If you sign and return your proxy card with no instructions, the proxy will be voted "For" with respect to the item set forth in the Proposal.
SHARES HELD IN “STREET NAME”
If your shares are held in “street name”, your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions provided by your broker.
CHANGING YOUR VOTE
You may revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. In order to do this, you must:
- send us written notice, stating your desire to revoke your proxy,
10

- send us a signed proxy that bears a later date than the one you intend to revoke, or,
- attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. In this case, you must notify the Inspector of Elections or Secretary of the Company that you intend to vote in person.
A list of those stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for a period of ten days prior to the Annual Meeting for examination by any stockholder at the Company's principal executive offices, 23901 Calabasas Road, Suite 2072, Calabasas, CA 91302, and at the Annual Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MATTERS SUBJECT TO VOTE

Q. | What is being voted on?

A. | The following proposals are being voted on:

The election of directors for a new term.
The ratification of the appointment of Kabani & Company to act as our auditor for the year ending June 30, 2011
Approval of the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company and the issuance of shares of common stock upon the full exercise of warrants by investors who took place in a private offering of common stock and warrants in July 2007.
Assuming the stockholders approve this proposal, the Company may upon a full exercise of the common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) by the holders thereof, issue up to 4,032,276 shares of common stock

Q. | Why are we being asked to approve the issuance of shares that have already been issued?

A. | As a NASDAQ listed Company, we are required to follow the NASDAQ listing rules. One such rules is rule 5635(d)(2) which requires stockholder approval when, in connection with a transaction other than a public offering, a transaction involves the potential issuance by the Company of common stock equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance. Stockholder approval was not required at the closing of the Financing because the terms of the Financing would not result in issuances equal to or more than 20%. We are contemplating an adjustment to the exercise price of warrants issued in the Financing. With this adjustment, the number of shares which could be acquired upon full exercise of the warrants together with the shares issued in the Financing would exceed 20%, requiring stockholder approval in order to permit a full exercise.

As of the closing date of this Financing, there were 20,158,853 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In that Financing, a total of 1,515,151 shares of common stock and 757,575 warrants to purchase shares of common stock were issued. As of the completion of the Financing in October 2007, the total number of shares of common stock and shares of common stock which could potentially be issued if the Warrants were exercised in full represented 11.27% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, we were not required to seek shareholder approval of this transaction at that time.
However, the Warrant contains two provisions that are important to this situation. The first provision does not permit the Company to issue any shares in violation of NASDAQ rules. The second provides full ratchet, anti-dilution protection to the Investors. Such protection acts to adjust the exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares exercisable when the Company issues any securities at or below the then current warrant exercise price. Over time, since 2007, the Warrant exercise price has been adjusted down. Currently, the Warrant exercise price is $.63 per share. At a $.63 per share exercise price, the total shares that would be issued if the holders exercised all of the Warrants are 1,984,136. This together with the shares issued in 2007, would total 3,499,287 shares equaling 17.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the Financing. This is the current number of shares that can be exercised without any shareholder approval.
In December 2009, the Company and the investors in the Financing entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to adjust the Warrant exercise price to $.31 per share. This adjustment would result in an adjustment of the total number of shares that could be issued if exercised in full to 4,032,276. Together with the total number of shares issued to the investors in the Financing the number of shares which may be potentially issued if the Warrants were exercised in full by the holders will exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of June 29, 2007 and, specifically, would represent 27.51% of the issued and outstanding shares at the time of the original closing in June 2007.
12

Even if the stockholders do not approve the share issuances as set forth in this proxy, the holders will still be entitled to acquire 1,984,136 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $.63 per share.

Q. | Why are you adjusting the Warrant exercise price to $.31 per share?

A. | We are agreeing to an adjustment of the Warrant exercise price in order to resolve an issue between the Company and the Investors.

In April through July 2009, the Company issued shares to its employees as part of a stock purchase plan. The shares were issued at a discount from the market price of the shares of common stock on the date the issuances were authorized. As the shares were issued at a discount from market, the issuance was deemed to be an employee stock purchase plan which required shareholder approval prior to issuance according to NASDAQ Listing Rules. As stockholder approval was not obtained for these issuances, and in order to satisfy NASDAQ Listing Rules, the share prices were adjusted to the market price on the day of each investor’s purchase. The revised prices were in the range of $.44 to $.68 per share. The holders in the Financing assert that they are entitled to anti-dilution protection for all outstanding securities held by them based on the unadjusted price of the issuances. They further assert that the raise was not an employee purchase plan as defined in the Warrant and therefore anti-dilution protection should be applied, not only to the Warrants but to all other adjustable securities owned by them at the lowest, non-adjusted price of $.20 per share. The Company asserts that as the raise was conceded to be an employee stock purchase, the anti-dilution protection does not apply.
The Waiver Agreement constitutes a compromise of this issue. In this agreement, the investors agree to waive the application of the anti-dilution provisions as it is related to the employee stock purchase as to all adjustable securities in exchange for an adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrants only to $.31 per share and correspondingly the proportionate upward adjustment in the number of shares that could be exercised. This upward adjustment is required by the full ratchet anti-dilution protection of the Warrant. With this adjustment, the total number of shares that would be issuable if the Warrants were exercised in full at the $.31 exercise price is 4,032,276.
This Waiver Agreement is effective to resolve the issue if and only if the Company seeks and acquires stockholder approval of the Financing issuances so that the Warrants can be exercised in full based on this newly adjusted price. Should the stockholders fail to approve this issuance the price adjustment will not occur, and the Waiver Agreement will no longer be effective as a resolution of the anti-dilution issue. The Company and the investors will continue to disagree as to the applicability of the anti-dilution provisions to all of the securities held by the Investor which contain anti-dilution provisions and not just the Warrants.
The Waiver Agreement is an effort to resolve this disagreement with its investor and avoid additional costs associated with alternative resolutions or the holders seeking other recourse.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, COMMITTEES
BOARD MEETINGS AND BOARD COMMITTEES
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company met or acted by written consent two times with 100 % attendance by all directors. The Company requests that all board members attend annual meetings of the board. All but one member was present at the last annual meeting of the board.
The Board of Directors of the Company has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charters for the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are posted on the Company’s web site at www.netsoltech.com (select “About Us” then “Corporate Governance” and finally, the desired committee charter). All committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee met four times, the Compensation Committee met two times, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also met twice during fiscal year 2009.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Burki (Chairman), Beckert, Shakow and Caton, all of whom are independent within the meaning of NASDAQ listing standards and Rule 10A-3(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“34 Act”). The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2009. The Audit Committee was established by the Board for the purpose of overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements and reviewing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to any governmental body or the public and the Company’s systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance, and ethics. Its primary duties and responsibilities are to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process, audits of the Company’s financial statements, and the Company’s internal control system and (ii) appoint from time to time, evaluate, and, when appropriate, replace the registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review, or attest services for the Company, determine the compensation of such “outside auditors” and the other terms of their engagement, and oversee the work of the outside auditors. The Company’s outside auditors report directly to the Audit Committee.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF KABANI & COMPANY, INC.
AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010
The Audit Committee along with the Board of Directors has appointed Kabani & Company, Inc. (“Kabani”) as independent auditors of the Company with respect to its operations for fiscal year 2010, and has further directed that management submit such appointment for ratification by the holders of the Common Stock at the annual meeting of Stockholders. In taking this action, the members of the Audit Committee along with the Board considered carefully Kabani’s reputation in providing accounting services to other public and private companies in the software and retail industries, its independence with respect to the services to be performed, its general reputation for adherence to professional auditing standards and the performance of Kabani during the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2002 through current.
Stockholder ratification of the selection of Kabani as the Company's independent auditors is not required by the Company's Bylaws or otherwise. The Board, however, is submitting the selection of Kabani to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. Therefore, there will be present at the Annual Meeting a proposal for the ratification of this appointment, which the Board of Directors believes is advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders. If the appointment of Kabani is not ratified, the Board of Directors will consider the matter of the appointment of independent public accountants.

Pre-Approval Procedures
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors and for approving, in advance, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee maintains a policy for the engagement of the independent auditors that is intended to maintain the independent auditor’s independence from NetSol. In adopting the policy, the Audit Committee considered the various services that the independent auditors have historically performed or may be needed to perform in the future. The policy, which is to be reviewed and re-adopted at least annually by the Audit Committee:

| (i) | Approves the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of service (principally audit-related and tax), subject to restrictions in some cases, based on the Committee’s determination that this would not be likely to impair the independent auditors’ independence from NetSol;

| (ii) | Requires that management obtain the specific prior approval of the Audit Committee for each engagement of the independent auditors to perform other types of permitted services; and,

| (iii) | Prohibits the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of services due to the likelihood that their independence would be impaired.

Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chairman of the Committee in office at the time, or by any other Committee member to whom the Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditors to any member of management.
The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of an engagement of the independent auditors is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefore and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditors’ independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable professional standards. Relevant considerations include, but are not limited to, whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of NetSol’s financial statements; whether the independent auditors would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would enhance NetSol’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would increase efficiency because of their familiarity with NetSol’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable to the independent auditors in the period that is for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditors’ ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.
Vote Required
An affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for ratification of KABANI & COMPANY, INC. as our independent accountants for the year ending June 30, 2010.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KABANI & COMPANY, INC. AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2010.

PROPOSAL NO. THREE
APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY
AND THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON THE FULL EXERCISE OF WARRANTS BY INVESTORS WHO TOOK PLACE IN A PRIVATE OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS IN 2007
The discussion in this proxy statement of the terms of the financing dated June 29, 2007, by and between the Company and the investors is contained in the Common Stock and Warrant Agreement, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant and, the Investor Rights Agreement (collectively referred to as the “Financing Documents”). A copy of the form of the Financing Documents is attached as Annex A-C to this proxy statement and is incorporated into this proxy statement by reference. The Waiver Agreement is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement and is incorporated into this proxy statement by this reference. While we do not believe that this information is material for the exercise of prudent judgment in regards to this matter, in that the matter involves the authorization or issuance of common stock only, to assist you with your understanding, we are incorporating by reference our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 and the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The annual report on form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 is being provided to you with this proxy.
Introduction
The purpose of this Proposal is to obtain the stockholder approval necessary under applicable NASDAQ Listing Rules to allow for the full issuance and exercise of: (i) shares of Common Stock and, (ii) shares of Common Stock upon the full exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company to the investors in the Financing based on an adjusted Warrant exercise price of $.31 per share. In the event that stockholder approval of this proposal is not acquired, the Warrants’ exercise price will remain at $.63 per share (per its anti-dilution provisions) and the investors will be able to exercise only those number of shares which, when taken with the number of shares of common stock issued in connection with the Financing will not result in a violation of NASDAQ Listing Rules. Additionally, if stockholder approval of this proposal is not acquired, the waiver agreement entered into by and between the investors and the Company dated December 14, 2009 (the “Waiver Agreement”) which is designed to resolve a disagreement as to the applicability of certain anti-dilution provisions to employee purchases made in 2009, will no longer operate to resolve the disagreement.
Description of the Financing
On June 22, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., and Solomon Strategic Holdings, Inc. (the “Investors”) whereby the Company was prepared to issue 1,515,151 shares of common stock and common stock purchase warrants to purchase 757,575 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) in exchange for $2,500,000 (the “Financing”). The units of common stock and Warrants were sold at the price of $1.65 per share. The initial exercise price of the Warrants was $1.65 per share. The initial tranche of 757,575 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 378,787shares of common stock were issued at the initial closing on June 29, 2007. The provisions of the common stock and warrant purchase agreement provides that the Investors could purchase an additional 757,575 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 378,787 shares of common stock at the same price provided that such determination was made within 6 months of the closing of the stock purchase agreement or by no later than December 31, 2007. On or about October 18, 2007, both investors elected to acquire the additional shares and warrants. The total shares issued in connection with this Financing were 1,515,151 shares together with warrants to purchase 757,575 shares of common stock at the initial exercise price of $1.65 per share.
The Warrant contains a full ratchet anti-dilution provision which provides that the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted at any time, during the term of the Warrants, if the Company issues securities below the then current exercise price of the Warrants. Further, the full ratchet anti-dilution provision requires a corresponding adjustment of the number of shares of common stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of such Warrants (such that the total consideration payable by the investor remains unchanged upon full exercise regardless of a downward adjustment in the exercise price). The Warrant exercise price was adjusted on two occasions to $.78, based on an amendment in 2009 to a convertible note issued to the Investors in 2008 and then again to $.63 based on the issuance of notes which are convertible into shares of common stock issued to the Investors in August 2009. Correspondingly, the number of shares which could be acquired upon full exercise of the Warrants increased from 757,575 to 1,984,136 (as a result of the $.63 adjustment).
25

The proceeds of the Financing were used for expenses related to the financing and working capital.
In April through July 2009, the Company issued shares to its employees as part of a stock purchase plan. The shares were issued at a discount from the market price of the shares of common stock on the date the issuances were authorized. As the shares were issued at a discount from market, the issuance was deemed to be an employee stock purchase plan which required shareholder approval prior to issuance according to NASDAQ Listing Rules. As stockholder approval was not obtained for these issuances, and in order to satisfy NASDAQ Listing Rules, the share prices were adjusted to the market price on the day of each investor’s purchase. The revised prices were in the range of $.44 to $.68 per share. The Investors assert that they are entitled to anti-dilution protection for all outstanding securities held by them based on the unadjusted price of the issuances. They further assert that the raise was not an employee purchase plan as defined in the Warrant and therefore anti-dilution protection should be applied, not only to the Warrants but to all other adjustable securities owned by the Investors at the lowest, non-adjusted price of $.20 per share. The Company asserts that as the raise was conceded to be an employee stock purchase, the anti-dilution protection does not apply.
The Waiver Agreement constitutes a compromise of this issue. In this agreement, the Investors agree to waive the application of the anti-dilution provisions as it is related to the employee stock purchase as to all adjustable securities in exchange for an adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrants only to $.31 per share and correspondingly the proportionate upward adjustment in the number of shares that could be exercised, in line with the full-ratchet anti-dilution clause. With this adjustment, the total number of shares that would be issuable if the Warrants were exercised in full at the $.31 exercise price is 4,032,276.
This Waiver Agreement is effective to resolve the issue if and only if the Company seeks and acquires stockholder approval of the Financing issuances so that the Warrants can be exercised in full based on this newly adjusted price. Should the stockholders fail to approve this issuance the price adjustment will not occur, and the Waiver Agreement will no longer be effective as a resolution of the anti-dilution issue. The Company and the Investors will continue to disagree as to the applicability of the anti-dilution provisions to all of the securities held by the Investors which contain anti-dilution provisions and not just the Warrants.
The terms of the Warrants permit exercise at any time at the current exercise price of $.63 per share, through the extended warrant exercise date of June 29 and October 18, 2015 respectively, for each Warrant, to the extent that such exercise does not violate NASDAQ Listing Rules, and in full at the adjusted price of $.31, at such time after our stockholders approve the issuance of shares of common stock underlying such Warrants. To date, 1,515,151 shares of common stock have been issued to the investors in the Financing. However, none of the Warrants have been exercised and, accordingly, no shares of common stock underlying the Warrants have been issued.
Description of Securities
The terms of the Warrant permit exercise for a period of five years and contain full-ratchet anti-dilution protections. Full-ratchet anti-dilution protection is afforded to the Investors by providing for both an adjustment of the conversion price and a corresponding adjustment in the number of shares of common stock into which the Warrants may be exercised in certain circumstances. The conversion price is adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, distributions and issuances of shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of the Company which effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any securities to an effective Per Share Selling Price (defined below) which is less than the current Warrant price. The Per Share Selling Price includes the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of common stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. If the securities are issued for something other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accounts. In such event, the current warrant price shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount equal to such Per Share Selling Price. Further, in the event of such reduction, the number of shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be inversely proportionately increased such that the aggregate exercise price remains the same.
26

The foregoing provision does not apply to any issuances or sales of common stock or convertible securities (i) pursuant to any convertible securities currently outstanding on the date the Warrant, in accordance with the terms of such convertible securities, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. Exercise of the Warrants is subject to beneficial ownership cap of 9.9% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.
The Warrants currently, at the $.63 per share exercise price, and upon full exercise would result in the issuance of up to 1,984,136 (except as limited by the beneficial ownership cap and the prohibition of any issuance in violation of NASDAQ Listing Rules). The contemplated adjustment, assuming stockholder approval, would result, upon full exercise of the warrants, in an issuance of up to 4,032,276 shares of common stock (again, except as limited by the beneficial ownership cap). The Warrants may be exercised until June 29 and October 18, 2015 respectively.
The common stock issued as part of this Financing was issued at the price of $1.65 per share are the same class of common stock of the Company currently outstanding and listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “NTWK”.
NASDAQ Listing Requirements and the Necessity of Stockholder Approval
As a NASDAQ listed company, we are required to follow the NASDAQ listing rules. One such rules is rule 5635(d)(2) which requires stockholder approval when, in connection with a transaction other than a public offering, a transaction involves the potential issuance by the Company of common stock equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance. Stockholder approval was not required at the closing of the Financing because the terms of the Financing would not result in issuances equal to or more than 20%. We have agreed to an adjustment to the exercise price of Warrants issued in the Financing. With this adjustment, the number of shares which could be acquired upon full exercise of the warrants together with the shares issued in the Financing would exceed 20%, requiring stockholder approval.
As of the closing date of this Financing, there were 20,158,853 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In that Financing, a total of 1,515,151 shares of common stock and 757,575 warrants to purchase shares of common stock were issued. As of the completion of the Financing in October 2007, the total number of shares of common stock and shares of common stock which could potentially be issued if the warrants were exercised in full represented 11.27% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, we were not required to seek shareholder approval of this transaction at that time.
However, the Warrant contains two provisions that are important to this situation. The first provision does not permit the Company to issue any shares in violation of NASDAQ Listing Rules. The second provides full ratchet, anti-dilution protection to the Investors. Such protection acts to adjust the exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares exercisable when the Company issues any securities at or below the then current Warrant exercise price. Over time, since 2007, the Warrant exercise price has been adjusted down and the number of shares which can be acquired when the Warrants are exercised has been adjusted up. Currently, the Warrant exercise price is $.63 per share. At a $.63 per share exercise price, the total shares that would be issued if the Investors exercised all of the Warrants are 1,984,136. This together with the shares issued in 2007, would total 3,499,287 shares equaling 17.36% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the Financing. This is the current number of shares that can be exercised without any shareholder approval.
In December 2009, the Company and the investors in the Financing entered into a Waiver Agreement where the Company agreed to adjust the Warrant exercise price to $.31 per share. This adjustment would result in an adjustment of the total number of shares that could be issued if exercised in full to 4,032,276. Together with the total number of shares issued to the investors in the Financing the number of shares which may be potentially issued if the Warrants were exercised in full by the Investors will exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of June 29, 2007 and, specifically, would represent 27.51% of the issued and outstanding shares at the time of the original closing in June 2007.
27

Even if the stockholders do not approve the share issuances as set forth in this proxy, the Investors will still be entitled to acquire 1,984,136 shares of common stock at the current exercise price of $.63 per share.
As of June 26, 2007, there were 20,158,853 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding, less treasury shares. Accordingly, the number of shares to be issued to the Investors based on the shares issued in 2007 and a full exercise of the Warrants, at the adjusted exercise price would be a total of 5,547,427 constituting 27.52% of the issued and outstanding shares at June 29, 2007. Without stockholder approval, the Investors will receive, on full exercise of the Warrants and accounting for shares of common stock issued in 2007, a total of 3,499,287.
Funds raised in the Financing were used for working capital.
The Company’s stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company and the issuance of shares of common stock upon the full exercise of warrants by investors who took place in a private offering of common stock and Warrants in 2007.
Availability of Principal Accountants
Representatives from our principal accountant are expected to be present at the stockholders’ meeting; will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so; and, are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is necessary for approval of the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the full exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company in the Financing. Shares of Common Stock acquired by the Investors in the Financing may not be voted in connection with this proposal.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY AND THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON THE FULL EXERCISE OF WARRANTS BY INVESTORS WHO TOOK PLACE IN A PRIVATE OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS IN 2007

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis will describe the Compensation Committee's compensation objectives and policies for our Named Executive Officers, including executive pay decisions and processes and all elements of NetSol Technologies’ executive compensation program.
NetSol Technologies’ Named Executive Officers, a group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and three other executive officers for fiscal year 2009, are the following seven individuals:

Najeeb Ghauri |  | Chief Executive Officer
Salim Ghauri |  | President of Asia Pacific and Middle East Operations
Naeem Ghauri |  | President of European Operations
Tina Gilger |  | Chief Financial Officer (1)
Dan Lee |  | Chief Financial Officer (1)
Boo-Ali Siddiqui |  | Chief Financial Officer (1)
Patti L. W. McGlasson |  | Secretary and General Counsel

| (1) | Ms. Gilger resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company effect December 15, 2008 and Mr. Dan Lee became the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer as of the same date. Mr. Lee tendered his resignation as of March 31, 2008. As of April 1, 2009, Mr. Boo-Ali Siddiqui assumed the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance at or above established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.
Setting Executive Compensation
Management develops our compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data in the media services and technology industries. We believe that the practices of these groups of companies provide us with appropriate compensation benchmarks, because these groups of companies are in similar businesses and tend to compete with us for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, we typically review the compensation data we have collected from these groups of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees as the Company. For purposes of determining executive compensation, we have not engaged consultants to help us analyze this data or to compare our compensation programs with the practices of the companies represented in the compensation data we review.
Based on management's analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to establish base salaries and total executive compensation (taking into consideration the executive's experience and abilities) that are competitive with those companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data we review.
We work within the framework of this pay-for-performance compensation philosophy to determine each component of an executive's initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:
• the individual's particular background, track record and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;
• the individual's role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that we review;
29

• the demand for individuals with the individual's specific expertise and experience;
• performance goals and other expectations for the position; and,
• uniqueness of industry skills.
The terms of each executive officer's compensation are derived from employment agreements negotiated between the Company and the executive. Each executive's employment agreement is generally negotiated to cover a one to three-year period, and prescribes the base salary and other annual payments, if any, to the executive. Employment agreements for all executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. Employment agreements for other executives are approved by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
2009 Executive Compensation Components
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the principal components of compensation that our named executive officers were eligible to receive were:
• Base salary;
• Long Term Equity Incentive Compensation;
• Performance-based incentive compensation (discretionary bonus); and,
• Perquisites and other personal benefits.
Base Salary
An executive's base salary is evaluated together with components of the executive's other compensation to ensure that the executive's total compensation is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy.
The base salaries were established in arms-length negotiations between the executive and the Company, taking into account their extensive experience, knowledge of the industry, track record, and achievements on behalf of the Company.
Base salaries are adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee.
Annual Bonus
Our compensation program includes eligibility for bonuses as rewarded by the Compensation Committee. All executives are eligible for annual performance-based cash bonuses in accordance with Company policies.
During our fiscal year ended 2009, none of the named executives were awarded cash bonuses. Our former CFOs, both of whom served as CFO during the last fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 received $5,000 and $0 respectively for Ms. Gilger and Mr. Lee.
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by our executives in equity-based awards. Our various Employee Stock Option Plans allow us to grant stock options to employees. We currently make initial equity awards of stock options to new executives and certain non-executive employees in connection with their employment with the Company. Annual grants of options, if any, are approved by the Compensation Committee.
Equity Incentives. Executives, certain non-executive employees, and directors who join us may be awarded stock awards and/or stock option grants after they join the Company. These grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Such awards are intended to provide the executive with incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The size of the stock option award is also reviewed in light of the executive's track record, base salary, other compensation and other factors to ensure that the executive's total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy. A review of all components of compensation is conducted when determining equity awards to ensure that total compensation conforms to our overall philosophy and objectives.
30

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
We provide named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to executive officers.
We maintain benefits and perquisites that are offered to all employees, including health insurance and dental insurance. Benefits and perquisites may vary in different country locations and are consistent with local practices and regulations.
Termination Based Compensation
Upon termination of employment, all executive officers with a written employment agreement are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve, and as part of the process of setting the terms of, such severance arrangements, the Compensation Committee recognizes that executives and officers often face challenges securing new employment following termination. Further, the Committee recognizes that many of the named executives and officers have participated in the Company since its founding and that this participation has not resulted in a return on their investments. Termination and Change in Control Payments considered both the risk and the dedication of these executives’ service to the Company.
Our Chief Executive Officer, CEO of NetSol Technologies, Ltd. and CEO of Netsol Technologies Europe, Ltd. have employment agreements that provide, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
The CFO of the Company does not currently have a written employment agreement with the Company.
The Secretary of the Company has an employment agreement that provides, if she is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, she is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for her and her family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
31

Tax and Accounting Implications
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. We believe that compensation paid under the management incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Commencing on July 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including awards under our Employee Stock Option Plans, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R).
The following table shows the compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, earned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer who is our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, and others considered to be executive officers of the Company.

COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is dated as of June 22, 2007, by and among NetSol Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”), and each of the persons signatory hereto (each is individually referred to as a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, each of the Purchasers is willing to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchasers (a) shares of the Seller’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), and (b) Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Seller’s Common Stock (“Warrant Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2,500,000, as more fully set forth herein; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Purchase and Sale.
(a) Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the “Closing”), each Purchaser shall purchase, severally and not jointly, and the Seller shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, for the Purchase Price set forth on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto:
(i) such number of shares of Common Stock (such shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, the “Shares”) as is equal to such Purchaser’s Purchase Price divided by $1.65 (as appropriately and equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events, the “Per Share Purchase Price”); and
(ii) Warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to 50% of such Purchaser’s Shares, at an exercise price per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price.
(iii) The Closing shall occur as promptly as practicable, but no later than June 29, 2007 at the offices of Peter J. Weisman, P.C., 52 Vanderbilt Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10017, or on such other date and at such other location as the Seller and Purchasers shall mutually agree. The “Closing Date” means the date on which the Closing occurs.
1

(b) Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by each Purchaser to the Seller to acquire the Shares and Warrants at Closing shall be equal to the amount set forth on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto.
1.2 Terms of the Warrants. The terms and provisions of the Warrants are more fully set forth in the form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
ARTICLE II – TRANSFERS AND LEGENDS
2.1 Transfers. Except as required by federal securities laws and the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States, the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) may be transferred, in whole or in part, by any of the Purchasers at any time. In the case of Shares, such transfer may be effected by delivering written transfer instructions to the Seller, and the Seller shall reflect such transfer on its books and records and reissue certificates evidencing the Shares upon surrender of such certificates evidencing the Shares being transferred. Any such transfer shall be made by a Purchaser in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to the Seller, the Seller may require the transferor thereof to furnish to the Seller an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, such counsel and the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Seller’s counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act; provided, that in the case of a transfer of Shares and/or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, no opinion shall be required if the transferor provides the Seller with a customary seller’s representation letter, and if such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary broker’s representation letter and Form 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Seller and with any transfer agent for the securities of the Seller, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Seller that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications hereof) and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part in violation of the Securities Act.

True and complete copies of the Seller’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, as currently in effect and as will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Articles and Bylaws”), have previously been provided to the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means, with respect to any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by such entity or of which such entity is a partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity securities or equivalent profit participation interests, or is considered a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act.

The Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance by the Seller (without regard to any limitations on issuance or beneficial ownership).

Neither the Seller nor its Subsidiaries nor any agent acting on behalf of the Seller or its Subsidiaries has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or the Shares or Warrants to violate the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect on the Closing Date. Assuming that all of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers set forth in Article IV are true, all offers and sales of capital stock, securities and notes of the Seller were conducted and completed in compliance with the Securities Act. All shares of capital stock and other securities issued by the Seller and its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof have been issued in transactions that were either registered offerings or were exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and in compliance with all applicable corporate laws.
3.29 Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, nor in any document, written information, financial statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared and furnished by the Seller or the representatives of the Seller pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or to Seller’s knowledge omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements or facts contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were furnished.
3.30 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Seller and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Seller in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no such transactions, arrangements or other relationships with the Seller that may create contingencies or liabilities that are not otherwise disclosed by the Seller in its SEC filings.
3.31 Application of Takeover Protections. Except as is set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto of Seller, the Seller 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 the Seller’s Articles and By-Laws (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation or any agreement to which the Seller is a party that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Seller fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement and the Related Documents, including without limitation the Seller’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
3.32 No Additional Agreements. The Seller does not have any agreement with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents other than as specified in this Agreement and the Related Documents.

3.33 Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Seller Securities. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Seller further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Seller or any other Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement or the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Seller further represents to each Purchaser that the Seller’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the Related Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Seller and its representatives.
3.34 Internal Accounting Controls. The Seller 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 Seller has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Seller and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Seller, including its subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Seller’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Seller’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Seller’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Seller’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Seller presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or 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 Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting.
3.35 Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Seller as of the Closing Date, (i) the Seller’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Seller’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Seller’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 Seller, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Seller, together with the proceeds the Seller 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 Seller 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).
14

3.36 Title to Assets. The Seller and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property, do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Seller and the Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens for taxes not yet due and payable and (iii) Liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Seller’s knowledge, any real property and facilities held under lease by the Seller and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Seller and the Subsidiaries are in compliance except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
ARTICLE IV - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS
Each Purchaser, for itself only, hereby severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Seller as follows:
4.1 Existence and Power. The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such Purchaser’s organization. The Purchaser has all powers required to carry on such Purchaser’s business as now conducted.
4.2 Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement, the Related Documents to which such Purchaser is a party, and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized, and no additional action is required for the approval of this Agreement or the Related Documents. This Agreement and the Related Documents to which the Purchaser is a party have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby, will be duly executed and delivered and constitute valid and binding agreements of the Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors and except that enforceability of their obligations thereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.3 Investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the securities described herein for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with the intention of distributing or reselling the same, provided, however, that by making the representation herein, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that none of the securities has been registered under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities or blue sky laws. The Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, as promulgated under the Securities Act (including without limitation, if the Purchaser is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and a self-directed plan, then investment decisions are made solely by persons that are “Accredited Investors”).
15

4.4 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Shares and Warrants are being offered and sold to such Purchaser in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Seller is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the securities.
4.5 Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
4.6 General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
4.7 Receipt of Purchaser Information. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has been furnished with, or has had an opportunity to acquire and carefully review the following documents filed by the Seller with the SEC: (a) Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006 and any amendments thereto (the “10-KSB”); (b) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 and any amendments thereto, respectively; (c) all Current Reports on Form 8-K after the filing of the 10-KSB; (d) the Seller’s registration statement number 333-140248 filed on Form S-3; and (e) the Seller’s most recent definitive proxy materials. Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser has been furnished by the Seller during the course of this transaction with all information regarding the Seller that it or its investment advisors, attorney and/or accountant has requested or desired to know, has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Seller concerning the terms and conditions of the transaction, and has received any additional information that the Purchaser has requested .
4.8 SEC Policy on Short Sales. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser, directly or through related parties, affiliates or otherwise, may be prohibited in certain circumstances from selling “short or “shorting against the box” (as those terms are generally understood) any equity security of the Seller as a result of the following Telephone Interpretation in the SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (July 1997) A. 65 Section 5:
“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
16

ARTICLE V - COVENANTS OF THE SELLER AND PURCHASERS
5.1 Insurance. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall, from time to time upon the written request of the Purchasers, promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchasers evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, of the maintenance of all insurance maintained by it for loss or damage by fire and other hazards, damage or injury to persons and property, including from product liability, and under workmen’s compensation laws.
5.2 Reporting Obligations. So long as any of the Shares are outstanding and held by Purchasers, and so long as any portion of the Warrants has not been exercised and has not expired by its terms, the Seller shall furnish to the Purchasers, or any other persons who hold any of the Warrants (provided that such subsequent holders give notice to the Seller that they hold Warrants and furnish their addresses) promptly upon their becoming available one copy of (A) each report, notice or proxy statement sent by the Seller to its stockholders generally, and of each regular or periodic report (pursuant to the Exchange Act) and (B) any registration statement, prospectus or written communication pursuant to the Securities Act relating to the issuance or registration of Shares and the Warrant Shares and filed by the Seller with the Commission or any securities market or exchange on which shares of Common Stock are listed; provided, however, that the Seller shall have no obligation to deliver reports or schedules under this Section 5.2 to the extent such reports are publicly available via EDGAR.

5.3 Investigation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or diminished in any way by any investigation (or failure to investigate) at any time by or on behalf of the party for whose benefit such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements were made. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the inability or failure of the Purchasers to discover any breach, default or misrepresentation by the Seller under this Agreement or the Related Documents (including under any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement), notwithstanding the exercise by the Purchasers or other holders of the Shares of their rights hereunder to conduct an investigation shall not in any way diminish any liability hereunder.
5.4 Further Assurances. The Seller shall, at its cost and expense, upon written request of the Purchasers, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Purchasers such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary, advisable or proper, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers, to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

| (i) | accelerated repayment of debt existing on the date hereof;

| (ii) | the payment of dividends or other distributions on any capital stock of the Seller other than the Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock;

5.7 Licenses. The Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain at all times all material licenses or permits necessary to the conduct of its business and as required by any governmental agency or instrumentality thereof.
5.8 Taxes and Claims. The Seller and its Subsidiaries shall duly pay and discharge (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon or against the Seller or its properties or assets prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, unless and to the extent that such taxes are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor have been established, and (b) all material lawful claims, whether for labor, materials, supplies, services or anything else which might or could, if unpaid, become a lien or charge upon the properties or assets of the Seller or its Subsidiaries unless and to the extent only that the same are being diligently contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves therefor have been established.
5.9 Perform Covenants. The Seller shall (a) make full and timely payment of any and all payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) duly comply with all the terms and covenants contained herein and in each of the instruments and documents given to the Purchasers in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, all at the times and places and in the manner set forth herein or therein.

5.10 Additional Covenants.
(a) Except for transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors, neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any transaction with any director, officer, employee or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock of any class or series of capital stock of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, member of the family of any such person, or any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such person, or member of the family of any such person, is a director, officer, trustee, partner or holder of more than 5% of the outstanding capital stock thereof, with the exception of transactions which are consummated upon terms that are no less favorable than would be available if such transaction had been effected at arms-length, in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors.
(b) The Seller shall timely prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission the form of notice of the sale of securities pursuant to the requirements of Regulation D regarding the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.
(c) The Seller shall timely prepare and file such applications, consents to service of process (but not including a general consent to service of process) and similar documents and take such other steps and perform such further acts as shall be required by the U.S. state securities law requirements of each jurisdiction where a Purchaser resides as indicated on such Purchaser’s signature page hereto with respect to the sale of the Shares and Warrants under this Agreement.
(d) Neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, shall directly or indirectly make any offers or sales of any securities or solicit any offers to buy any securities under circumstances that would cause the loss of the 4(2) exemption under the Securities Act for the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to any consent or approval rights of the Purchasers hereunder, in the event the Seller contemplates an offering of its equity or debt securities within six months following the Closing Date, the Seller agrees that it shall notify the Purchasers of such offering (without providing any material non-public information to any Purchaser without its prior approval) and obtain the prior written consent of Purchasers.

Except as provided in the preceding sentence, neither the Seller nor the Purchasers shall make any press release or other publicity about the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior approval of the other unless otherwise required by law or the rules of the Commission.
5.12 Like Treatment of Purchasers and Holders. Neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration (immediate or contingent), whether by way of interest, fee, payment for redemption, conversion or exercise of the Securities, or otherwise, to any Purchaser or holder of Securities, for or as an inducement to, or in connection with the solicitation of, any consent, waiver or amendment to any terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Related Documents, unless such consideration is required to be paid to all Purchasers or holders of Securities bound by such consent, waiver or amendment. The Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem any Securities unless such offer of redemption is made pro rata to all Purchasers or holders of Securities, as the case may be, on identical terms.
19

5.13 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement or any Related Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any such agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Related Documents, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by such agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Related Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser represents that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of this Agreement and the Related Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that they and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Seller through Peter J. Weisman, P.C., but Peter J. Weisman, P.C. does not represent any of the Purchasers in this transaction other than The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. (the “Lead Investor”).
5.14 Other Transactions. Until after four months following the date on which the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective by the Commission, the Seller shall not issue or sell or agree to issue or sell any securities in a financing transaction which is a Variable Rate Transaction or otherwise provides the purchasers of such securities with more favorable terms (including without limitation with respect to the effective purchase price per share, conversion, exercise or exchange price (whether before or after adjustment), term, coupon, warrant coverage or otherwise) than those contained in this Agreement and the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Seller issues or sells, or agrees to issue or sell (a) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of, Common Stock either (x) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, (y) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Seller or the market for the Common Stock (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions), or (z) under a warrant exercisable for a number of shares based upon and/or varying with the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such warrant, or (b) any securities of the Seller pursuant to an “equity line” structure which provides for the sale, from time to time, of securities of the Seller which are registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act.
20

5.15 Greenshoe. On or prior to December 31, 2007, each Purchaser shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company, to purchase up to such number of additional shares of Common Stock (“Additional Shares”) as is equal to the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder for a purchase price per share equal to the Per Share Purchase Price. For each Additional Share purchased by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall receive an additional Warrant (collectively “Additional Warrants”) to purchase 0.5 shares of Common Stock (collectively “Additional Warrant Shares”). In the event that any Purchaser exercises such right, the terms “Shares”, “Warrants” and “Warrant Shares” as used herein shall include the Additional Shares, Additional Warrants and Additional Warrant Shares, respectively, and the representations, warranties, terms and covenants set forth herein and in the Related Documents shall apply to such Additional Shares, Additional Warrants and Additional Warrant Shares retroactively mutatis mutandis (including without limitation the Company’s obligation to register such Additional Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement). Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company shall not issue to any Purchaser, and such Purchaser may not acquire, a number of Additional Shares to the extent that, upon such exercise of the right contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Purchaser’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Purchaser is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
5.16 Participation Rights.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 5.16, until the second anniversary of the date hereof, the Purchasers shall have a right to participate with respect to the issuance or possible issuance by the Seller of any future equity or equity-linked securities or debt which is convertible into equity or in which there is an equity component (as the case may be, “Additional Securities”) on the same terms and conditions as offered by the Seller to the other purchasers of such Additional Securities. Each time the Seller proposes to offer any Additional Securities, the Seller shall make an offering of such Additional Securities to each Purchaser in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The Seller shall deliver a notice (the “Issuance Notice”) to the Purchasers stating (a) its bona fide intention to offer such Additional Securities, (b) the number of such Additional Securities to be offered, (c) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Additional Securities, and (d) the anticipated closing date of the sale of such Additional Securities.
(ii) By written notification received by the Seller, within ten (10) days after giving of the Issuance Notice, each Purchaser may elect to purchase or obtain, at the price and on the terms specified in the Issuance Notice, up to that number of such Additional Securities which equals such Purchaser’s Participation Amount for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as such third-party sale, where the “Participation Amount” for each Purchaser shall equal (a) 50% of the aggregate amount of such Additional Securities issued or to be issued to investors in such offering prior to the exercise of the participation rights contemplated by this Section 5.16 (such aggregate amount, the “Subsequent Offering Amount”), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of Shares purchased hereunder and the denominator of which equals the aggregate number of Shares purchased by all Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. The Seller shall promptly, in writing, inform each Purchaser which elects to purchase all of the Additional Securities available to it (“Fully-Exercising Holder”) of any other Purchaser's failure to do likewise. During the five-day period commencing after such information is given, each Fully-Exercising Holder shall be entitled to obtain that portion of the Additional Securities for which the Purchasers were entitled to subscribe but which were not subscribed for by such Purchasers which is equal to the proportion that the number of Shares purchased by such Fully-Exercising Holder bears to the total number of Shares by all Fully-Exercising Holders who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed shares.
21

(iii) The Seller may, during the 75-day period following the expiration of the 10-day and 5-day periods referenced in Section 5.16(a)(ii) above, offer up to the Subsequent Offering Amount 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 Issuance Notice. If the Seller 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 the Participation Amount is again first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no Purchaser shall have the right to purchase Additional Securities hereunder to the extent same would cause such holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined in the Warrants).
ARTICLE VI - CONDITIONS TO CLOSINGS
6.1 Conditions to Obligations of Purchasers to Effect each Closing. The obligations of a Purchaser to effect the Closing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction at or prior to Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived, in writing, by a Purchaser:
(a) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for those qualified as to materiality or a Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that such representation or warranty speaks of an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (or if qualified as to materiality or a Material Adverse Effect, true and correct in all respects) as of such date) as though made on and as of the Closing Date. On or prior to the Closing Date the Seller shall deliver to each of the Purchasers a certificate of the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer of the Seller to the effect that all of the representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date (including, to the extent necessary, updated disclosure schedules which shall be reasonably acceptable to each Purchaser) and that the Seller has performed all of its obligations under this Agreement required to be performed prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Deliverables. The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each of the Purchasers the following on or prior to the Closing Date:
1. (A) One or more certificates (“Share Certificates”) evidencing the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased at the Closing by such Purchaser, duly authorized, issued, fully paid and non-assessable, registered in the name of such Purchaser, in such denominations as may be reasonably requested by such Purchaser, or (B) a copy of irrevocable transfer agent instructions that (I) have been delivered to the Company’s transfer agent, (II) instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue the Share Certificates, (III) are acknowledged in writing by the Company’s transfer agent, and (IV) are in form and substance satisfactory to the Lead Investor; provided that, in any case, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered the original Share Certificates as soon as practicable following the Closing; and;
(B) One or more certificates evidencing the Warrants (“Warrant Certificates”), each registered in the name of such Purchaser, in such denominations as may be reasonably requested by such Purchaser, pursuant to which such Purchaser shall be initially entitled to purchase with respect to the Warrants, that number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.1 above, or a facsimile copy of such Warrant Certificates, provided that, in any case, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered the original Warrant Certificates as soon as practicable following the Closing.

ARTICLE VII – INDEMNIFICATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
7.1 Survival of Representations. The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Seller’s and the Purchasers’ warranties and representations shall in no way be affected by any investigation of the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Seller or the Purchasers.
7.2 Indemnification. The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Seller of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents; (iii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing; and (iv) any enforcement of this indemnification.
7.3 Indemnity Procedure. The Seller is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.
25

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.
With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.
7.4 Liquidated Damages. The Seller and the Purchasers agree that the Purchasers will suffer damages if a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs or is ongoing. The Seller and the Purchasers further agree that it may not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. If a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs, then the Purchasers may elect, as liquidated damages, and in addition to any other remedies legally available to such Purchasers, to require that the Seller shall pay to the Purchasers liquidated damages at a rate of 12% per annum of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchasers payable monthly in cash at the end of each month (or part thereof) in which the Breach Event is outstanding.
“Breach Event” means either:
(i) Any breach of any warranty or representation of the Seller as of the date made in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, which breach, or the facts and circumstances concerning such breach, has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
26

(ii) Any breach by the Seller of any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, and which breach, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within ten (10) days after notice of such breach has been given by the holders of a majority in interest of Purchasers to the Seller.
The Seller and the Purchasers have expressly negotiated this Section 7.4, and have agreed that in light of the circumstances existing at the time of execution of this Agreement, the liquidated damages expressed herein represent a reasonable estimate of the harm likely to be suffered by the Purchasers upon the occurrence of a Breach Event.

(c) Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company, provided that if at any time following the 120th day after the Closing Date there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

| (A) = | the closing sale price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;

| (B) = | the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and

| (X) = | the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.1(c).
(d) All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
(e) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant. The warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise. In connection therewith a form of ledger to maintain a record of such transactions is attached hereto. The warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.
5

2.2. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
2.3. Continued Validity. A Holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a Holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and 13 of this Warrant.
2.4. Restrictions on Exercise Amount.
(i) Unless a Holder delivers to the Company irrevocable written notice prior to the date of issuance hereof or sixty-one days prior to the effective date of such notice that this Section 2.4(i) shall not apply to such Holder, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Warrant Stock to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of Warrant Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.

3. Transfer, Division and Combination.
3.1. Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Holder or transferee of this Warrant shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent).
3.2. Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is registered under the Securities Act or is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 30, 2007, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
7

3.3. Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
4. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:
(i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable, and
(2) the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
(A) the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by
8

(B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
4.2. Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
(i) cash,
(ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof), or
(iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever, then:
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Warrant Price minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; and
(2) the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal (x) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
9

4.3. Securities Issuances. In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the Current Warrant Price, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount equal to such Per Share Selling Price. In the event of any such reduction, the number of Warrant Shares hereunder shall be inversely proportionately increased such that the aggregate exercise price hereunder shall remain the same. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Company shall give to the Warrantholder written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.
For purposes of this Section 4.3, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Current Warrant Price shall be used.
“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause a adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
10

4.4. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this Warrant exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.
11

4.5. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.
(a) If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
(b) In case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.5(a) above, the resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control transactions.
4.6. Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 4 or any other action described in Section 4, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holder of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances.
4.7. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
12

4.8. Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
5. Notices to Warrant Holders.
5.1. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.
5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation,
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or
(d) the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, or (iii) any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof); or (iv) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever;
13

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.
5.3. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
6. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
14

7. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the date of issuance hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants (without regard to any ownership limitations provided in Section 2.4(i)). All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.
8. Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
9. Piggyback Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be registered to the extent set forth and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in that certain Investor Rights Agreement dated of even date hereof, among the Holder, the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), and the Company may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable hereunder if Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended Registration Statement.
10. Supplying Information. Upon any default by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
11. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
15

12. Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
13. Financial and Business Information.
13.1. Quarterly Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder, as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, one copy of an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such quarter and, in the case of the second and third quarters, for the portion of the fiscal year ending with such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous fiscal year.

2. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time when there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or its then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder of Registrable Securities written notice of such determination and, if within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Holder), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay expenses in accordance with Section 4 hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this Section 8(d) for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8(d) that are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Registrable Securities in such registration statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such registration statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such registration statement of fewer or none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders, then (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such Holders (based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Registrable Securities, or (y) none of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be included in such registration statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered by the Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other persons or entities (other than the Company). The Company shall keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of (x) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (y) the date on which all Registrable Securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter, addressed to the Company's transfer agent to such effect (the “Effectiveness Period”).
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Include in any Registration Statement a Plan of Distribution substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to the Holders selling Registrable Securities. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to the Special Counsel, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Special Counsel, and (ii) at the request of any Holder cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Holders, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within three (3) Business Days after their receipt thereof, unless counsel to the Company determines in writing that such objection is without merit.
4

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and to the extent any Registrable Securities are not included in such Registration Statement for reasons other than the failure of the Holder to comply with Section 3(m) hereof, shall prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible, and in no event later than 10 Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the Special Counsel as promptly as possible (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed (but in no event in the case of this subparagraph (A), less than three (3) Business Days prior to date of such filing); (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (which notice shall be delivered to the Purchasers and Special Counsel on the same day as such effectiveness), and after the effectiveness thereof: (i) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) if the financial statements included in the Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limitation to any remedies to which the Holders may be entitled under this Agreement, if any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3(c)(C) occurs, the Company shall use its best efforts to respond to and correct the event.
5

(d) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, use best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) If requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3(e) that would, in the written opinion of counsel for the Company (addressed to the Special Counsel), violate applicable law.
(f) Furnish to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.
(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
6

(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (but no later than one day thereafter) cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(C)(iii) or (iv), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Cause all Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market.
(l) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 3-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.
(m) Request each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails (i) to furnish such information or (ii) to agree to furnish, upon request, such additional information regarding such Holder as may later be required by law to be disclosed, in each case, within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement.
7

If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.
Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(i), 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
(n) If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose under the Registration Statement, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n) for more than 30 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period (each, a “Blackout Period”).

5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing); or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m).

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) to this Agreement) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
10

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel in writing (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not impose any monetary or other obligation or restriction on the Indemnified Party.
All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall be delivered no more frequently than on a monthly basis (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
11

(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, 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 Losses 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 Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be required to contribute under this Section 5(d) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) 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. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. The indemnity and contribution agreements herein are in addition to and not in diminution or limitation of any indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.
6. Rule 144.
As long as any Holder owns any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As long as any Holder owns any Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the transfer of the Shares and Warrant Shares. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
12

7. Covenants of Purchasers.
In connection with the Registration Statement, each of the Purchasers covenants as follows:
(a) Unless and until such Purchaser has provided written notice to the Company to the contrary, all sales of Registrable Securities by such Purchaser shall be made without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions except for the usual and customary commission paid to brokers or dealers.
(b) Such Purchaser shall advise the Company of any arrangement with a broker or dealer for the sale of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary distribution or a principal purchase by a broker or dealer, and the details of such transaction.
(c) Such Purchaser shall comply with all prospectus delivery requirements with respect to sales of the Registrable Securities to the extent required by the Securities Act and other applicable law.
(d) Such Purchaser shall report to the Company, upon written request of the Company, whether all Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser have been sold or otherwise transferred.
8. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to an agreement currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.
13

(c) Notice of Effectiveness. Within two (2) Business Days after the Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the holders of Registrable Securities.
(d) [Intentionally Left Blank.]
(e) Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events. The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period. The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Company fails to include Registrable Securities in a registration statement filed with the Commission under the Securities Act to the extent required in accordance herewith, or (ii) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded promptly by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with the Commission, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 3(n), or (iii) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from any securities exchange, quotation system or market on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed (each an “Exchange”), without immediately being listed on any other Exchange, for any reason for more than one (1) Business Day, other than pursuant to Section 3(n), or (iv) the conversion or redemption rights of the Holders, or the exercise rights of the Holders under the Warrants, are suspended for any reason without the consent of the particular Holder, or (v) the Company has breached Section 3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), the Company shall pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to each Holder an amount equal to one percent (1%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the initial thirty (30) day period until the applicable Event has been cured, which shall be pro rated for such periods less than thirty (30) days, and one percent (1%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each subsequent thirty (30) day period until the applicable Event has been cured which shall be pro rated for such periods less than thirty days (the “Periodic Amount”). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available cash funds. The parties agree that the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred by the Holders in connection with such Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall remain obligated to cure the breach or correct the condition that caused the Event, and the Holder shall have the right to take any action necessary or desirable to enforce such obligation.
14

(f) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
(i) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(ii) Each of the Company and the Holders (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York City, New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holders consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 8(f) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(g) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service such as Federal Express or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

Copies of notices to any Holder shall be sent to the addresses set forth on the signature page of such Holder to the Purchase Agreement.
(i) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns; provided, that the Company may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder; and provided, further, that each Holder may assign its rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.
(j) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such Holder of all or a portion of the Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 8(j), the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.
The Company may require, as a condition of allowing such assignment in connection with a transfer of Warrants or Registrable Securities (i) that the Holder or transferee of all or a portion of the Warrants or the Registrable Securities as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
16

(k) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic image or facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such electronic image or facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(l) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof.
(m) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
(n) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(o) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
17

(q) Obligations of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement, are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. For reasons of administrative convenience only, this Agreement has been prepared by Special Counsel (counsel for The Tail Wind Fund Ltd. (“TWF”)) and the Special Counsel will perform certain duties under this Agreement. Such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only TWF. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to this Agreement in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

EXHIBIT A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. Sales of shares may be made by selling security holders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. Sales may be made from time to time on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other exchange or market upon which our shares may trade in the future, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following:

- | a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction);

- | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus;

- | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;

- | through options, swaps or derivatives;

- | in privately negotiated transactions;

- | in making short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus or in transactions to cover such short sales; and

- | put or call option transactions relating to the shares.

The selling security holders may effect these transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The selling security holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities.
23

The selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling security holders. The selling security holders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions).
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each of the selling security holders and each selling security holder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify us against some liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market.
Selling security holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.
Upon being notified by a selling security holder that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:

- | the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);

- | the number of shares involved;

- | the initial price at which the shares were sold;

- | the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer(s), where applicable;

- | that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and

- | other facts material to the transactions.

24

In addition, if required under applicable law or the rules or regulations of the Commission, we will file a supplement to this prospectus when a selling security holder notifies us that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock.
We are paying all expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling security holders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the shares.
