6.4 Reporting Requirements. The Company will timely file with the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and for so long as the Securities are held by the Purchaser, refrain from terminating its status as an issuer required by the Exchange

6.5 Use of Funds. The Company agrees that it will use the proceeds of the sale of the Note and Warrant to satisfy certain indebtedness and for general working capital purposes.

6.6 Access to Facilities. The Company will permit any representatives designated by the Purchaser (or any successor of the Purchaser), upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, at such person’s expense and accompanied by a representative of the Company, to:

(a) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company;

(b) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company (unless such examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law or by contract) and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom; and

(c) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with the directors, officers and independent accountants of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not provide any material, non-public information to the Purchaser unless the Purchaser signs a confidentiality agreement and otherwise complies with Regulation FD, under the federal securities laws.

6.7 Taxes. The Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefor.

6.8 Insurance. The Company will keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by companies in similar business similarly situated as the Company; and the Company will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner which the Company reasonably believes is customary for companies in similar business similarly situated as the Company and to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms. The Company and each of its subsidiaries set forth in Section 4.2 hereof (the “Subsidiaries”) will jointly and severally bear the full risk of loss from any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the assets pledged to the Purchaser as security for its obligations hereunder and under the Related Agreements. At the Company’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, the Company and each of the Subsidiaries shall (i) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which it has an interest

insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to the Company’s or the respective Subsidiary’s including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iii) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which the Company or the Subsidiary is engaged in business; and (iv) furnish Purchaser with (x) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, (y) excepting the Company’s workers’ compensation policy, endorsements to such policies naming Purchaser as “co-insured” or “additional insured” and appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser, naming Purchaser as loss payee, and (z) evidence that as to Purchaser the insurance coverage shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Company or any Subsidiary and the insurer will provide Purchaser with at least thirty (30) days notice prior to cancellation. The Company and each Subsidiary shall instruct the insurance carriers that in the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers shall make payment for such loss to the Company and/or the Subsidiary and Purchaser jointly. In the event that as of the date of receipt of each loss recovery upon any such insurance, the Purchaser has not declared an event of default with respect to this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, then the Company shall be permitted to direct the application of such loss recovery proceeds toward investment in property, plant and equipment that would comprise “Collateral” secured by Purchaser’s security interest pursuant to its security agreement, with any surplus funds to be applied toward payment of the obligations of the Company to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser has properly declared an event of default with respect to this Agreement or any of the Related Agreements, then all loss recoveries received by Purchaser upon any such insurance thereafter may be applied to the obligations of the Company hereunder and under the Related Agreements, in such order as the Purchaser may determine. Any surplus (following satisfaction of all Company obligations to Purchaser) shall be paid by Purchaser to the Company or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by the Company or the Subsidiary, as applicable, to Purchaser, on demand.

(a) directly or indirectly declare or pay any dividends, other than dividends with respect to its preferred stock;

(b) liquidate, dissolve or effect a material reorganization;

(a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act; or

(b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after such Securities are registered under the Securities Act.

The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such resales provided

the Company and its counsel receive reasonably requested representations from the selling Purchaser and broker, if any.

6.14 Opinion. On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser an opinion acceptable to the Purchaser from the Company’s legal counsel. The Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, such other legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary for the conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant.

7. Covenants of the Purchaser. The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:

7.1 Confidentiality.

8.3 Procedures. The procedures and limitations set forth in Section 10.2(c) and (d) shall apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 above.

9. Conversion of Convertible Note

9.1 Mechanics of Conversion

(a) Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the Purchaser’s intention to sell the Note Shares and the Note Shares are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold: (i) Upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.1(b) hereof and in such denominations to be specified representing the number of Note Shares issuable upon such conversion; and (ii) The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Note Shares issued will be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Note Shares.

(b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be converted to the Company (the “Notice of Conversion”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender the Note until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Note Shares or until the Note has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).

(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Note Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 9.1(b) above and the Note Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon conversion of the Note in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not owe the Purchaser any late payments if the delay in the delivery of the Note Shares beyond the Delivery Date is solely out of the control of the Company and the Company is actively trying to cure the cause of the delay. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available

funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such conversion, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note, for which such Conversion Notice was not timely honored.

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

9.2 Maximum Conversion. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date, that amount of a Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be (a) in excess of the sum of: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser on a Conversion Date; and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Purchaser of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date and (b) (ii) exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the ten (10) day trading period immediately preceding delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Borrower. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Upon an Event of Default under the Note or seventy days prior written notice, the conversion limitation in this Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) shall become null and void. If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), if required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market (or any successor entity), then the Company may not issue upon conversion of the Note, in the aggregate, in excess of (1) 19.999% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the trading day immediately preceding the original issue date, (2) less any shares of Common Stock issued as payment of interest or upon exercise of the Warrants issued to the Holder of the Note on the original issue date pursuant to this Agreement (such number of shares, the “Issuable Maximum”).”Shareholder Approval” means such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market (or any successor entity) from the shareholders of the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance of all of the Underlying Shares and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the Closing Date.

10. Registration Rights, Indemnification.

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

10.2 Indemnification. (a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.

(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 10.2(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 10.2(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10.2(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; if the indemnified party retains its own counsel, then the indemnified party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) the Purchaser, or any controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 10.2 provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 10.2; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10 of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

10.3 Offering Restrictions. Except as previously disclosed in the SEC Reports or in the Exchange Act Filings, or stock or stock options granted to employees or directors of the

Company; or shares of preferred stock issued to pay dividends in respect of the Company’s preferred stock; or equity or debt issued in connection with an acquisition of a business or assets by the Company; or the issuance by the Company of stock in connection with the establishment of a joint venture partnership or licensing arrangement (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the “Excepted Issuances”), the Company will not issue any securities with a continuously variable/floating conversion feature (e.g., securities with a “floorless conversion” feature, but excluding customary antidilution protection) that are or could be (by conversion or registration) free-trading securities (i.e. common stock subject to a registration statement) prior to the full repayment or conversion of the Note (the “Exclusion Period”).
