ARTICLE II
FIXED REQUEST TERMS; OPTIONAL AMOUNT

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree (unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing) as follows:

Section 2.1                                   Fixed Request Notice.  The Company may, from time to time in its sole discretion, no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period, provide to the Investor a Fixed Request notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Fixed Request Notice”), which Fixed Request Notice shall become effective at 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day of the Pricing Period specified in the Fixed Request Notice. The Fixed Request Notice shall specify the Fixed Amount Requested, establish the Threshold Price for such Fixed Request, designate the first and last Trading Day of the Pricing Period and specify the Optional Amount, if any, that the Company elects to grant to the Investor during the Pricing Period and the applicable Threshold Price for such Optional Amount (the “Optional Amount Threshold Price”). The Threshold Price and the Optional Amount Threshold Price established by the Company in a Fixed Request Notice may be the same or different, in the Company’s sole discretion. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor is obligated to accept each Fixed Request Notice prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.2                                   Fixed Requests.  From time to time during the Investment Period, the Company may in its sole discretion deliver to the Investor a Fixed Request Notice for a specified Fixed Amount Requested, and the applicable discount price (the “Discount Price”) shall be determined, in accordance with the price and share amount parameters as set forth below or such other parameters mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Investor shall purchase from the Company the Shares subject to such Fixed Request Notice at the Discount Price; provided, however, that (i) if an ex-dividend date is established by the Trading Market in respect of the Common Stock on or between the first Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period and the applicable Settlement Date, the Discount Price shall be reduced by the per share dividend amount and (ii) unless the parties otherwise mutually agree, the Company may not deliver any single Fixed Request Notice for a Fixed Amount Requested in excess of the lesser of (a) the amount in the applicable Fixed Amount Requested column below and (b) 2.5% of the Market Capitalization:

3

Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Investor and the Company, at no time shall the Investor be required to purchase more than $2,500,000 worth of Common Stock in respect of any Pricing Period (not including Common Stock subject to any Optional Amount).  The date on which the Company delivers any Fixed Request Notice in accordance with this Section 2.2 hereinafter shall be referred to as a “Fixed Request Exercise Date”.

Section 2.3                                   Share Calculation.  With respect to the Trading Days during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price, the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor pursuant to a Fixed Request shall equal the aggregate sum of each quotient (calculated for each Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price) determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share):

N =             (A x B)/C, where:

N =             the number of Shares to be issued by the Company to the Investor in respect of a Trading Day during the applicable Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price,

A =            0.125 (the “Multiplier”), provided, however, that if the Company and the Investor mutually agree prior to the commencement of a Pricing Period that the number of consecutive Trading Days constituting a Pricing Period shall be less than eight (8), then the Multiplier correspondingly shall be increased to equal the decimal equivalent (in 10-millionths) of a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which equals the number of Trading Days in the reduced Pricing Period (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that this proviso shall not apply to any unilateral determination by the Company to reduce a Pricing Period, but rather, Section 2.8 hereof shall apply),

B =              the total Fixed Amount Requested, and

C =              the applicable Discount Price.

4

Section 2.4                                   Limitation of Fixed Requests.  The Company shall not make more than one Fixed Request in each Pricing Period.  Not less than five Trading Days shall elapse between the end of one Pricing Period and the commencement of any other Pricing Period during the Investment Period. There shall be permitted a maximum of 24 Fixed Requests during the Investment Period.  Each Fixed Request automatically shall expire immediately following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period.

Section 2.5                                   Reduction of Commitment.  On the Settlement Date with respect to a Pricing Period, the Investor’s Total Commitment under this Agreement automatically (and without the need for any amendment to this Agreement) shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the total amount of the Fixed Request Amount and the Optional Amount Dollar Amount, if any, for such Pricing Period paid to the Company at such Settlement Date.

Section 2.6                                   Below Threshold Price.  If the VWAP on any Trading Day in a Pricing Period is lower than the Threshold Price, then for each such Trading Day the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the product of (x) the Multiplier and (y) the total Fixed Amount Requested, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below. If trading in the Common Stock on the Trading Market is suspended for any reason for more than three hours on any Trading Day, the Investor may at its option deem the price of the Common Stock to be lower than the Threshold Price for such Trading Day and, for each such Trading Day, the total amount of the Fixed Amount Requested shall be reduced as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and no Shares shall be purchased or sold with respect to such Trading Day, except as provided below. For each Trading Day during a Pricing Period on which the VWAP is lower (or is deemed to be lower as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) than the Threshold Price, the Investor may in its sole discretion elect to purchase such U.S. dollar amount of Shares equal to the amount by which the Fixed Amount Requested has been reduced in accordance with this Section 2.6, at the Threshold Price multiplied by the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the price and share amount parameters set forth in Section 2.2. The Investor shall inform the Company via facsimile transmission not later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period as to the number of Shares, if any, the Investor elects to purchase as provided in this Section 2.6.

Section 2.7                                   Settlement.  The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares in respect of each Fixed Request shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period, or on such earlier date as the parties may mutually agree (the “Settlement Date”). On each Settlement Date, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Shares purchased by the Investor by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Shares shall be freely tradable and transferable and without restriction on resale, against simultaneous payment therefor to the Company’s designated account by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that if the Shares are received by the Investor later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), payment therefor shall be made with next day funds. As set forth in Section 9.1(ii), a failure by the Company to deliver such Shares shall result in the payment of partial damages by the Company to the Investor.

Section 2.8                                   Reduction of Pricing Period.  If during a Pricing Period the Company elects to reduce the number of Trading Days in such Pricing Period (and thereby amend its previously delivered Fixed Request Notice), the Company shall so notify the Investor before

5

9:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Trading Day during a Pricing Period (a “Reduction Notice”) and the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period shall be the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice; provided, however, that if the Company delivers the Reduction Notice later than 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Trading Day during a Pricing Period, then the last Trading Day of such Pricing Period instead shall be the Trading Day on which the Investor received such Reduction Notice.

Upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor (i) shall purchase the Shares in respect of each Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP equals or exceeds the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof; (ii) may elect to purchase the Shares in respect of any Trading Day in such reduced Pricing Period for which the VWAP is (or is deemed to be) lower than the Threshold Price in accordance with Section 2.6 hereof; and (iii) may elect to exercise all or any portion of an Optional Amount on any Trading Day during such reduced Pricing Period in accordance with Sections 2.10 and 2.11 hereof.

In addition, upon receipt of a Reduction Notice, the Investor may elect to purchase such U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares equal to the product determined pursuant to the following equation:

D =             (A/B) x (B – C), where:

D =             the U.S. dollar amount of additional Shares to be purchased,

A =            the Fixed Amount Requested,

B =              8 or, for purposes of this Section 2.8, such lesser number of Trading Days as the parties may mutually agree to, and

C =              the number of Trading Days in the reduced Pricing Period,

at a per Share price equal to (x) the Fixed Amount Requested attributable to the reduced Pricing Period divided by (y) the number of Shares to be purchased during such reduced Pricing Period pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) (as applicable) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

The Investor may also elect to exercise any portion of the applicable Optional Amount which was unexercised during the reduced Pricing Period by issuing an Optional Amount Notice to the Company not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the first Trading Day next following the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period. The number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of such Optional Amount shall be calculated pursuant to the equation set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, except that “C” shall equal the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the reduced Pricing Period or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price.

The payment for, against simultaneous delivery of, Shares to be purchased and sold in accordance with this Section 2.8 shall be settled on the second Trading Day next following the Trading Day on which the Investor receives a Reduction Notice.

Section 2.9                                   Optional Amount.  With respect to any Pricing Period, the Company may in its sole discretion grant to the Investor the right to exercise, from time to time during the Pricing Period (but not more than once on any Trading Day), all or any portion of an Optional Amount.  The maximum Optional Amount Dollar Amount and the Optional Amount Threshold Price shall be set forth in the Fixed Request Notice.  If an ex-dividend date is established by the Trading Market in respect of the Common Stock on or between the first Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period and the applicable Settlement Date, the applicable exercise price in respect of the Optional Amount shall be reduced by the per share dividend amount.  Each daily Optional Amount exercise shall be aggregated during the Pricing Period and settled on the next Settlement Date.  The Optional Amount Threshold Price designated by the Company in its Fixed Request Notice shall apply to each Optional Amount exercised during the applicable Pricing Period.

Section 2.10                            Calculation of Optional Amount Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the exercise of an Optional Amount shall be the quotient determined pursuant to the following equation (rounded to the nearest whole Share):

O =             A/(B x C), where:

O =             the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such Optional Amount exercise,

A =            the Optional Amount Dollar Amount with respect to which the Investor has delivered an Optional Amount Notice,

B =              the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the price and shares amount parameters set forth in Section 2.2 (with the Optional Amount Threshold Price serving as the Threshold Price for such purposes), and

C =              the greater of (i) the VWAP for the Common Stock on the day the Investor delivers the Optional Amount Notice or (ii) the Optional Amount Threshold Price.

Section 2.11                            Exercise of Optional Amount.  If granted by the Company to the Investor with respect to a Pricing Period, all or any portion of the Optional Amount may be exercised by the Investor on any Trading Day during the Pricing Period, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.9.  As a condition to each exercise of an Optional Amount pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Investor shall issue an Optional Amount Notice to the Company no later than 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of such Optional Amount exercise.  If the Investor does not exercise an Optional Amount in full by 8:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Trading Day of the applicable Pricing Period, such unexercised portion of the Investor’s Optional Amount with respect to that Pricing Period automatically shall lapse and terminate.

Section 2.12                            Aggregate Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may the Company issue a Fixed Request Notice or grant an Optional Amount to the extent that the sale of Shares pursuant thereto and pursuant to all prior Fixed Request Notices and Optional Amounts issued hereunder, and as partial damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), would cause the Company to sell or the Investor to purchase Shares which in the aggregate are in excess of the Aggregate Limit.  If the Company issues a Fixed Request Notice

7

or Optional Amount that otherwise would permit the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock which would cause the aggregate purchases by Investor hereunder to exceed the Aggregate Limit, such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice or Optional Amount together with the dollar value of shares or number of shares, as the case may be, of all other Common Stock purchased by the Investor pursuant hereto, or issued as partial damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), would exceed the Aggregate Limit.  The Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has effected any transaction or series of transactions, (ii) is a party to any pending transaction or series of transactions or (iii) shall enter into any contract, agreement, agreement-in-principle, arrangement or understanding with respect to, or shall effect, any Other Financing which, in any of such cases, may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company’s stockholders is required under any bylaw, listed securities maintenance standards or other rules of the Trading Market; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to take any action referred to in clause (iii) above if (a) the Company has timely provided the Investor with an Integration Notice as provided in Section 5.6(ii) hereof and (b) unless the Investor has previously terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, the Company obtains any requisite stockholder approval which may be required for the Company to consummate such Other Financing described in such Integration Notice.

At the Company’s sole discretion, and effective automatically upon delivery of notice by the Company to the Investor, this Agreement may be amended by the Company from time to time to reduce the Aggregate Limit by a specified dollar amount and/or number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any such amendment of this Agreement (and any such purported amendment) shall be void and of no force and effect if the effect thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Commitment Shares to the Investor in accordance with the terms of Section 2.13 and Section 6.1 of this Agreement, and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares to the Investor in respect of a previously delivered Fixed Request or Optional Amount on the applicable Settlement Date.  In the event the Company shall have elected to reduce the Aggregate Limit as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, at the Company’s sole discretion, and effective automatically upon delivery of notice by the Company to the Investor, the Company may subsequently amend this Agreement to increase the Aggregate Limit up to $10,000,000, subject in all cases to the Trading Market Limit (except as expressly provided in Section 2.14); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be entitled to issue Fixed Requests and grant Optional Amounts during the remainder of the Investment Period for an aggregate amount greater than the amount obtained by subtracting (x) the aggregate of all Fixed Request Amounts and Optional Amount Dollar Amounts (including any amounts paid as partial damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii) hereunder) covered by all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts theretofore issued or granted by the Company in respect of which a settlement has occurred pursuant to Section 2.7 from (y) $10,000,000, subject in all cases to the Trading Market Limit (except as expressly provided in Section 2.14).

8

Section 2.13                            Commitment Shares. In consideration for the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement on the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to electronically transfer the Commitment Shares to the Investor, not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, by crediting the Investor’s or its designees’ account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, which Commitment Shares shall be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement and without any restriction on resale, provided that the Investor hereby agrees that it shall not resell or transfer such Commitment Shares for a period of 90 days immediately following the Effective Date, except for any transfer to an Affiliate of the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the Effective Date, regardless of whether any Fixed Requests are issued by the Company or settled hereunder.

Section 2.14                            Market Regulation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trading Market Limit shall not be applicable for any purposes of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, solely to the extent (and only for so long as) the Average Discount Price shall equal or exceed the Base Price (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Trading Market Limit shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all other times during the term of this Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall not issue any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance would otherwise breach the Company’s obligations under the rules and regulations f the Trading Market. “Base Price” shall mean a price per Share equal to the sum of (i) the Signing Market Price and (ii) $0.011, subject to (a) upward adjustment (by such amount to be mutually agreed by the Company and the Investor consistent with the rules and regulations of the Trading Market) in the event any shares of Common Stock are issued by the Company as partial damages pursuant to Section 9.1(ii) and (b) adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement. “Signing Market Price” shall mean $0.480, representing the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported on the Trading Market on the Effective Date. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that the book value per share of Common Stock on the Effective Date is less than the Signing Market Price. “Average Discount Price” shall mean a price per Share (rounded to the nearest tenth of a cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the total aggregate gross purchase price paid by the Investor for all Shares purchased pursuant to all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts under this Agreement, by (ii) the total aggregate number of Shares issued pursuant to all Fixed Requests and Optional Amounts under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 2.14 shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.14, only if necessary to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

Section 4.23         Taxes.  The Company (i) has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or has duly requested extensions thereof, except for those the failure of which to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) has paid all federal, state, local and foreign taxes due and payable for which it is liable, except to the extent that any such taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, except for such taxes the failure of which to pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) does not have any tax deficiency or claims outstanding or assessed or, to the Company’s knowledge, proposed against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.24         Insurance.  The Company carries, or is covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company deems is adequate for the conduct of its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses and the value of their respective properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be permitted to deliver any Fixed Request Notice to the Investor, and the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to a Fixed Request Notice, unless and until the parties hereto and Reedland shall have received written confirmation from the FINRA to the effect that the FINRA’s Corporate Financing Department has determined not to raise any objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii)           The Investor shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the performance by it of its obligations under this Agreement and its investment in the Securities, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Investor to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 5.4            Keeping of Records and Books of Account; Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

24

the Company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that would likely have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(ii)           Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or any other persons acting on their behalf shall, in connection with the operation of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses, (a) use any corporate funds for unlawful contributions, payments, gifts or entertainment or to make any unlawful expenditures relating to political activity to government officials, candidates or members of political parties or organizations, (b) pay, accept or receive any unlawful contributions, payments, expenditures or gifts, or (c) violate or operate in noncompliance with any export restrictions, anti-boycott regulations, embargo regulations or other similar domestic or foreign laws and regulations.

Section 5.5            Limitations on Holdings and Issuances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not issue and the Investor shall not purchase any shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Investor and its Affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Section 5.6            Other Agreements and Other Financings.

(i)            The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company or any Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Commitment Shares to the Investor not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date, and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Shares to the Investor in respect of a Fixed Request or Optional Amount on the applicable Settlement Date.

(ii)           If the Company enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party or seeks to utilize any existing agreement, plan or arrangement with a third party, in each case the principal purpose of which is to implement, effect or consummate, at any time during the period beginning on the first Trading Day of any Pricing Period and ending on the second Trading Day next following the applicable Settlement Date (the “Reference Period”), an Other Financing that does not constitute an Acceptable Financing, the Company shall provide prompt notice thereof (an “Other Financing Notice”) to the Investor; provided,

25

however, that such Other Financing Notice must be received by the Investor not later than the earlier of (a) 48 hours after the Company’s execution of any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction relating to such Other Financing (or, with respect to any existing agreement, plan or arrangement, 48 hours after the Company has determined to utilize any such existing agreement, plan or arrangement to implement, effect or consummate such Other Financing) and (b) the second Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Settlement Date with respect to the applicable Fixed Request Notice; provided, further, that the Company shall notify the Investor within 24 hours (an “Integration Notice”) if it enters into any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction with a third party, the principal purpose of which is to obtain at any time during the Investment Period an Other Financing that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of determining whether approval of the Company’s stockholders is required under any bylaw, listed securities maintenance standards or other rules of the Trading Market and, if required under applicable law, including, without limitation, Regulation FD promulgated by the Commission, or under the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company shall publicly disclose such information in accordance with Regulation FD and the applicable rules and regulations of the Trading Market. For purposes of this Section 5.6(ii), any press release issued by, or Commission Document filed by, the Company shall constitute sufficient notice, provided that it is issued or filed, as the case may be, within the time requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.6(ii) for an Other Financing Notice or an Integration Notice, as applicable. With respect to any Pricing Period for which the Company is required to provide an Other Financing Notice pursuant to the first sentence (including the provisos thereto) of this Section 5.6(ii), the Investor shall (i) have the option to purchase the Shares subject to the Fixed Request at (x) the price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the third party’s per share purchase price in connection with the Other Financing, net of such third party’s discounts, Warrant Value and fees, or (ii) the Investor may elect to not purchase any Shares subject to the Fixed Request for that Pricing Period. An “Other Financing” shall mean (w) the issuance of Common Stock for a purchase price less than, or the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at an exercise or conversion price (as the case may be) less than, the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, pursuant to any “equity line” or other financing that is substantially similar to the financing provided for under this Agreement, or pursuant to any other transaction in which the purchase, conversion or exchange price for such Common Stock is determined using a floating discount or other post-issuance adjustable discount to the then Current Market Price (any such transaction, a “Similar Financing”)), in each case, after all fees, discounts, Warrant Value and commissions associated with the transaction (a “Below Market Offering”); (x) an “at-the-market” offering of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act (an “ATM”); (y) the implementation by the Company of any mechanism in respect of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock for the reset of the purchase price of the Common Stock to below the then Current Market Price of the Common Stock (including, without limitation, any antidilution or similar adjustment provisions in respect of any Company securities, but specifically excluding customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events) (a “Price Reset Provision”); or (z) the issuance of options, warrants or similar rights of subscription in each case not constituting an Acceptable Financing. “Acceptable Financing” shall mean the issuance by the Company of: (1) debt securities or any class or series of preferred stock of the Company, in each case that are not

26

convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock; (2) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (including, without limitation, convertible debt securities) other than in connection with a Below Market Offering or an ATM and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (3) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (including, without limitation, convertible debt securities) in connection with an underwritten public offering of securities of the Company or a registered direct public offering of securities of the Company, in each case where the price per share of such Common Stock (or the conversion or exercise price of such securities, as applicable) is fixed concurrently with the execution of definitive documentation relating to such offering, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (4) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with awards under the Company’s benefit and equity plans and arrangements or pursuant to consulting or other vendor agreements and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (5) shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of equity awards or convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities (including, without limitation, convertible debt securities) outstanding as of the Effective Date, and the issuance thereof upon such conversion, exercise or exchange; (6) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (including, without limitation, convertible debt securities) issued in connection with the acquisition, license or sale of one or more other companies, equipment, technologies or lines of business, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; (7) shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (including, without limitation, convertible debt securities) or similar rights to subscribe for the purchase of shares of Common Stock in connection with technology sharing, licensing, research and joint development, marketing, manufacturing supply or other similar strategic or collaborative agreements or arrangements (or amendments thereto) with third parties, and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof; and (8) shares of Common Stock and/or warrants or similar rights to subscribe for the purchase of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings and/or real property leases or service agreements (or amendments thereto) and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise thereof.

Section 5.7            Stop Orders.  The Company shall advise the Investor promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) and shall confirm such advice in writing: (i) of the Company’s receipt of notice of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or for any additional information; (ii) of the Company’s receipt of notice of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, or of the suspension of qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or contemplated initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act to be stated therein or necessary in order to

27

make the statements then made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other law. The Company shall not be required to disclose to the Investor the substance or specific reasons of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, but rather, shall only be required to disclose that the event has occurred.  The Company shall not issue any Fixed Request during the continuation of any of the foregoing events. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or prohibiting or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time. The Company shall also advise the Investor promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) and shall confirm such advice in writing of the Company becoming aware of the happening of any event, which makes any statement made in the FINRA Filing untrue or which requires the making of any additions to or changes to the statements then made in the FINRA Filing in order to comply with FINRA Rule 5110.

Section 5.8            Amendments to the Registration Statement; Prospectus Supplements; Free Writing Prospectuses.

(i)            Except as provided in this Agreement and other than periodic and current reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company shall not file with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement that relates to the Investor, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or file with the Commission any Prospectus Supplement that relates to the Investor, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to which (a) the Investor shall not previously have been advised, (b) the Company shall not have given due consideration to any comments thereon received from the Investor or its counsel, or (c) the Investor shall reasonably object after being so advised, unless the Company reasonably has determined that it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or make any supplement to the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, in which case the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) so inform the Investor, the Investor shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any disclosure relating to the Investor and the Company shall expeditiously furnish to the Investor an electronic copy thereof. In addition, for so long as, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Investor, the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required to be delivered in connection with any acquisition or sale of Securities by the Investor, the Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Securities without delivering or making available a copy of such Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, to the Investor promptly.

(ii)           The Company has not made, and agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Investor it will not make, an offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company or the Investor with the Commission or retained by the Company or the Investor under Rule 433 under the Securities Act.  The Investor has not made, and agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company it will not make, an offer relating to the Securities that would constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be

28

filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act.  Any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Investor or the Company is referred to in this Agreement as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”  The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

Section 5.9            Prospectus Delivery.  The Company shall file with the Commission a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on the first Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of each Pricing Period.  The Company shall provide the Investor a reasonable opportunity to comment on a draft of each such Prospectus Supplement and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, shall give due consideration to all such comments and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8 hereof, shall deliver or make available to the Investor, without charge, an electronic copy of each form of Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus, and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus on each applicable Settlement Date.  The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (and of any Prospectus Supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “blue sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities and for such period of time thereafter as the Prospectus (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities. If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment of the Company and its counsel is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if it is necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement or amend the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5.8 above, file with the Commission an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus (or supplement to the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus) and shall expeditiously furnish or make available to the Investor an electronic copy thereof.

Section 5.10         Selling Restrictions.

(i)            Except as expressly set forth below, the Investor covenants that from and after the date hereof through and including the 90th day next following the termination of this Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the “Restricted Persons” and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Restricted Person”) shall, directly or indirectly, (i) intentionally engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or (ii) grant any option to purchase, or acquire any right to dispose of or otherwise dispose for value of, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap, hedge or other similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Common Stock.

29

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person during the Restricted Period from: (1) selling “long” (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO) the Commitment Shares or the Shares; or (2) selling a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Shares that such Restricted Person is or may be obligated to purchase under a pending Fixed Request Notice but has not yet taken possession of so long as such Restricted Person (or the Broker-Dealer, as applicable) delivers the Shares purchased pursuant to such Fixed Request Notice to the purchaser thereof or the applicable Broker-Dealer; provided, however, such Restricted Person (or the applicable Broker-Dealer, as applicable) shall not be required to so deliver any such Shares subject to such Fixed Request Notice if (a) such Fixed Request is terminated by mutual agreement of the Company and the Investor and, as a result of such termination, no such Shares are delivered to the Investor under this Agreement or (b) the Company otherwise fails to deliver such Shares to the Investor on the applicable Settlement Date upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(ii)           In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any sale of Securities (including any sale permitted by paragraph (i) above), the Investor shall comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 5.11         Effective Registration Statement.  During the Investment Period, the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act.

Section 5.12         Non-Public Information.  Neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers or agents shall disclose any material non-public information about the Company to the Investor, unless a timely public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD.

Section 5.13         Broker/Dealer.  The Investor shall use one or more broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of the Securities that it may acquire or purchase from the Company pursuant to this Agreement, which (or whom) shall be unaffiliated with the Investor and not then currently engaged or used by the Company (collectively, the “Broker-Dealer”). The Investor shall provide the Company with all information regarding the Broker-Dealer reasonably requested by the Company.  The Investor shall be solely responsible for all fees and commissions of the Broker-Dealer, which shall not exceed customary brokerage fees and commissions.

Section 5.14         Disclosure Schedule.

(i)            During the Investment Period, the Company shall from time to time update the Disclosure Schedule as may be required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.3(i).  For purposes of this Section 5.14, any disclosure made in a schedule to the Compliance Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D shall be deemed to be an update of the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no update to the Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall cure any breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement and shall not affect any of the Investor’s rights or remedies with respect thereto.

30

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in this Agreement, the information and disclosure contained in any Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in any other Schedule of the Disclosure Schedule as though fully set forth in such Schedule for which applicability of such information and disclosure is readily apparent on its face. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, such information and the thresholds (whether based on quantity, qualitative characterization, dollar amounts or otherwise) set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1            General Indemnity.

38

The Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person promptly upon demand (with accompanying presentation of documentary evidence) for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Investor or such indemnified persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.

(ii)           Indemnification by the Investor. The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all attorneys fees) to which the Company and each such other person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Current Report or any Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, the untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished by the Investor to the Company expressly for inclusion in the Current Report or such Prospectus Supplement or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto.

The Investor shall reimburse the Company and each such director, officer or controlling person promptly upon demand for all legal and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such indemnified persons in investigating, defending against, or preparing to defend against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which it is entitled to indemnification.

Section 8.2            Indemnification Procedures.  Promptly after a person receives notice of a claim or the commencement of an action for which the person intends to seek indemnification under Section 8.1, the person will notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of the action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under Section 8.1, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice.  The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding as to which indemnification is being sought, and if the indemnifying party acknowledges in writing the obligation to indemnify the party against whom the claim or action is brought, the indemnifying party may (but will not be required to) assume the defense against the claim, action, suit or proceeding with counsel satisfactory to it.  After an indemnifying party notifies an indemnified party that the indemnifying party wishes to assume the defense of a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will not be liable for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense against the claim,

39

action, suit or proceeding except that if, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnifying party, one or more of the indemnified parties should be separately represented in connection with a claim, action, suit or proceeding, the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties.  Each indemnified party, as a condition to receiving indemnification as provided in Section 8.1, will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the indemnifying party in the defense of any action or claim as to which indemnification is sought.  No indemnifying party will be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested (by written notice provided in accordance with Section 9.4) an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated hereby effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received written notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of a pending or threatened action with respect to which an indemnified party is, or is informed that it may be, made a party and for which it would be entitled to indemnification, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability and claims which are the subject matter of the pending or threatened action.

If for any reason the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is not available to, or is not sufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any loss or liability referred to in Section 8.1 as to which such indemnified party is entitled to indemnification thereunder, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss or liability, (i) in the proportion which is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and by the indemnified party, on the other hand, from the sale of Shares which is the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding which resulted in the loss or liability or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above, but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to the statements or omissions which are the subject of the claim, action, suit or proceeding that resulted in the loss or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The remedies provided for in Section 8.1 and this Section 8.2 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified person at law or in equity.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought.

Section 9.6            Headings; Construction.  The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,”

43

“includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.”  The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. The parties agree that each of them and their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar transactions that occur on or after the date of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. The assignment by a party to this Agreement of any rights hereunder shall not affect the obligations of such party under this Agreement.

Section 9.8            Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice of law provisions of such state that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.9            Survival.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof until the termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of Article VII (Termination), Article VIII (Indemnification), Section 9.1 (Fees and Expenses), Section 9.2 (Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction, Waiver of Jury Trial), Section 9.4 (Notices), Section 9.8 (Governing Law), Section 9.11 (Publicity), Section 9.12 (Severability) and this Section 9.9 (Survival) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination, (ii) if the Investor owns any Securities at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company and the Investor, as applicable, contained in Section 5.1(i) (Securities Compliance; FINRA Filing), Section 5.3 (Compliance with Laws), Section 5.7 (Stop Orders), Section 5.8 (Amendments to the Registration Statement; Prospectus Supplements; Free Writing Prospectuses), Section 5.9 (Prospectus Delivery), Section 5.11 (Effective Registration Statement), Section 5.12 (Non-Public Information) and 5.13 (Broker/Dealer) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of six months following such termination, (iii) the covenants and agreements of the Investor contained in Section 5.10 (Selling Restrictions) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of 90 days following such termination, and (iv) if the Investor owns any Securities at the time of such termination, the covenants and agreements of the Company contained in Section 5.2 (Registration and Listing) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination for a period of 30 days following such termination.

Section 9.10         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original and binding instrument and shall become effective when all counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In

44

the event any signature is delivered by facsimile, digital or electronic transmission, such transmission shall constitute delivery of the manually executed original and the party using such means of delivery shall thereafter cause four additional executed signature pages to be physically delivered to the other parties within five days of the execution and delivery hereof.  Failure to provide or delay in the delivery of such additional executed signature pages shall not adversely affect the efficacy of the original delivery.

Section 9.11         Publicity.  The Investor shall have the right to approve, prior to issuance or filing, any press release, Commission filing or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (unless the same disclosure has been previously reviewed and approved by the Investor); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Investor, to make any press release or other public disclosure (including any filings with the Commission) with respect thereto as is required by applicable law and regulations (including the regulations of the Trading Market), so long as prior to making any such press release or other public disclosure, if reasonably practicable, the Company and its counsel shall have provided the Investor and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, and shall have consulted with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, such press release or other disclosure.

Section 9.12         Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 9.13         No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Article VIII, this Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

Section 9.14         Further Assurances.  From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Investor or the Company, each of the Company and the Investor shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
