Unless otherwise requested by the Purchaser, the certificate or certificates representing the Shares and the Warrant purchased by the Purchaser will be registered in the Purchaser’s name and address as set forth below.

4. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has received, read and is familiar with this Agreement (consisting of these “Subscription Pages,” Annex I and all exhibits thereto), including but not limited the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 3 of Annex I, and has received, read and is familiar with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the Current Reports on Form 8-K and all other

reports filed by the Company under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 between January 1, 2007 and April 16, 2007 (the “SEC Reports”), including without limitation the “Risk Factors” set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” commencing on page 11 of the above referenced Form 10-K. Further, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has received, read, and is familiar with the additional “Offering Risk Factors” included with the Company’s Disclosure Package that incorporates the SEC Reports (the “Offering Risk Factors”). Purchaser acknowledges that certain statements contained in the SEC Reports constitute “Forward-Looking Statements,” as referenced under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements” set forth in the introduction to the Form 10-K and, as described therein, Purchaser acknowledges that the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Form 10-K, as well as the Offering Risk Factors. The Purchaser acknowledges that its investment in the Shares and the Warrant (as well as all Underlying Shares) are subject to the risk factors set forth in the Form 10-K, as well as the Offering Risk Factors.

5. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for Purchaser’s current needs and any unexpected needs in the future even without the funds that Purchaser might invest pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser neither has nor anticipates any need to sell the Shares or the Warrant in the foreseeable future. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risks of this investment, is able to hold the Shares and the Warrant for an indefinite period of time, and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of the entire investment in the Shares and the Warrant in the event that such a loss occurs. The Purchaser’s commitment in the Shares and the Warrant and other non-marketable investments will not be a disproportionate part of Purchaser’s net worth.

(b) The Purchaser, either alone or with one or more of its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.

(c) The Purchaser confirms that, if requested by Purchaser, all documents, records and books pertaining to this proposed investment in the Company have been made available to the Purchaser and his advisors, and they have made such examinations of the foregoing as the Purchaser and his advisors have deemed necessary in connection with such investment in the Company.

(d) The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the officers of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment, and such officers of the Company have answered all such questions to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.

(e) The Shares and the Warrant (and any Underlying Shares) will be acquired for the Purchaser’s own account for investment, and not for the account of any other person nor with a view to resell, distribute, or participate in any distribution of the Shares, the Warrant or the Underlying Shares in a manner which would require the registration of the Shares, the Warrant or the Underlying Shares under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.

(f) The Purchaser understands that no U.S. or other securities administrator has made any finding or determination relating to the merits or fairness of an investment in the Shares or the Warrant, and no such securities administrator has or will recommend or endorse any offering of the Shares or the Warrant.

(g) It has been called to the Purchaser’s attention, both in this Agreement and by those individuals with whom the Purchaser has dealt in connection with investing in the Company, that the Purchaser’s investment in the Company is a speculative investment and involves a degree of risk which might result in the loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has made available to the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s representative(s) the opportunity to obtain additional information with which to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment. By reason of the Purchaser’s business and financial experience, the Purchaser has acquired the capacity to protect the Purchaser’s interest in investments of this nature. In reaching the conclusion that the Purchaser desires to acquire the Shares and the Warrant, the Purchaser has carefully evaluated its financial resources and investment position and the risks associated with this investment.

(h) In making the Purchaser’s investment decision, the Purchaser has relied solely upon the Company’s filings with the SEC and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein, as well as any investigations of the Company made by the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives, if any. The Purchaser has received no representations from Chief China Resources, Ltd., the Company, or their respective principals, officer or directors other than the representations contained in this Agreement.

(i) No representations have been made to the Purchaser concerning projected results, expected yields or any other prospective information concerning operation of the Company.

(j) The Purchaser is not a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Regulation S (“Regulation S”) promulgated under the Securities Act), and is not acting for the account or benefit of a “U.S. person.”

(k) The Purchaser, if an individual, is a bona fide citizen and resident of the country set forth in the “Purchaser Information” section of this Agreement, and the addressees set forth in the “Purchaser Information” section of this Agreement are the true and correct business and home addresses of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, if not an individual, is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity incorporated or otherwise organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the “Purchaser Information” section of this Agreement, and the address set forth in the “Purchaser Information section of this Agreement is the true and correct business address of the Purchaser.

(l) Purchaser was not located in the United States at the time that (i) any offer to purchase the Shares and the Warrant was made to the Purchaser, and (ii) the buy order for the Shares and the Warrant was made.

4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER.

4.1 PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Purchaser, for itself only, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that: (a) the Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Warrants (and the related Underlying Shares) are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities or blue sky laws and Purchaser is acquiring the number of Shares and Warrants set forth on the Subscription Pages in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with the intention of distributing or reselling same; provided, however, that by making the foregoing representation, 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; (b) the Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares or Warrants (or the related Underlying Shares) except in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (c) the Purchaser has answered all questions on the Subscription Pages and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and the related information may be relied upon by the Company for inclusion in the Registration Statement; (d) the Purchaser will notify the Company immediately of any change in any of such information until such time as the Purchaser has sold all of its Underlying Shares or until the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement effective; (e) the Purchaser has, in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Shares and Warrants set forth on the Subscription Pages, relied only upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the information set forth in the Disclosure Package, including the SEC Reports; and (f) the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are made only as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, and Purchaser’s subsequent decision to convert the Shares into Underlying Shares or to exercise the Warrant for Underlying Shares are made in the sole discretion of the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Shares and Warrant and the Company hereby expressly disclaims any obligation to provide to the Purchaser any additional representations, warranties or information. Purchaser understands that the issuance of the Shares and Warrants to the Purchaser (and the issuance of the related Underlying Shares) has not been registered under the Securities Act, or registered or qualified under any other securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Placement Consultant is not authorized to make any representation or use any information in connection with the placement, purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants, and no person is authorized to provide any representation which is inconsistent or in addition to those in the Disclosure Package or the SEC Reports. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has not received or relied on any such representations.

4.2 REGISTRATION REQUIRED. The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Shares, Warrants or Underlying Shares without complying with the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6.3 hereof, and without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied (unless the Purchaser is selling its Underlying Shares in a transaction not subject to the prospectus delivery requirement), and the Purchaser acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the Shares, Warrants and Underlying Shares will be imprinted with a legend that prohibits their transfer except in accordance therewith. The Purchaser acknowledges that as set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, Section 6.3, there may occasionally be times when the Company, based on the advice of its counsel, determines that it must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC or until the Company has amended or supplemented such prospectus.

4.3 POWER AND AUTHORITY. The Purchaser further represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that (i) the Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the indemnification agreements of the Purchasers herein may be legally unenforceable.

4.4 NO DISPOSITIONS. Except with the prior written consent of the Company, the Purchaser will not, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a disposition of Common Stock of the Company by the Purchaser or any other person or entity. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock of the Company.

The Purchaser, either alone or with one or more advisers, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and has evaluated such merits and risks.

including the SEC Reports. The Purchaser confirms that it and its advisers have examined the foregoing materials as the Purchaser and its advisers have deemed necessary in connection with the investment in the Shares and Warrant. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the principals, officers and directors of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering, and such principals, officers and directors of the Company have answered all such questions to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser.

6. REGISTRATION OF THE SHARES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

6.1 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES AND EXPENSES. The Company shall:

(a) subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (such date, the “Filing Date”), a registration statement to enable the resale of all of the Underlying Shares (the “Registration Statement”);

(b) use its reasonable best efforts, subject to the receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event within four (4) calendar months of the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC and within six (6) calendar months of the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided that if and to the extent that any of the Underlying Shares are not included in the Registration Statement at the time it is declared effective for reasons other than the failure of the Purchaser to furnish to the Company the information required by the next to last paragraph of this Section 6.1, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to the receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, to prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements as the Company in its reasonable judgment shall deem viable for the purpose of effectively registering for resale under the Securities Act all of the Underlying Shares;

(c) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith (the “Prospectus”) as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement

current and effective for a period from the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC until the earliest of (i) the date when all Underlying Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) the date on which the Purchasers may sell all of the Underlying Shares acquired or which the Purchaser has the right to acquire without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereof having similar effect) (the “Effectiveness Period”);

(d) furnish, without charge, to the Purchaser with respect to the Underlying Shares registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), Prospectuses (including supplemental prospectuses) and preliminary versions of the Prospectus filed with the SEC (“Preliminary Prospectuses”) in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Underlying Shares by the Purchaser;

(e) file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in U.S. states reasonably specified in writing by the Purchaser prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

(f) bear and pay all expenses (other than professional fees incurred by the Purchasers and underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company under Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Underlying Shares are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement;

(g) advise the Purchasers, promptly (but in any event within five (5) business days) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued.

(h) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Underlying Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Underlying Shares registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Underlying Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

(j) notify the Purchaser, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof (but in any event within five (5) business days), of the time when such Registration

Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

(k) cooperate with the Purchaser to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Underlying Shares sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent sold in compliance with the “plan of distribution” set forth in the Registration Statement and to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Underlying Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Purchaser may request; and

(l) with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell the Underlying Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Underlying Shares acquired or that may be acquired by the Purchaser may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Underlying Shares acquired or that may be acquired by the Purchaser shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to the Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Shares, Warrants or Underlying Shares, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Shares without registration.

It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 6.1 that the Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding himself, herself or itself, the Underlying Shares to be sold by such Purchaser pursuant to the Registration Statement, and the intended method of disposition of such Underlying Shares as shall be required to effect the registration thereof. If the Registration Statement refers to any Purchaser by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Purchaser shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Purchaser by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Purchaser in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

The Company understands that the Purchaser disclaims being an underwriter, but the Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.

6.2 REGISTRATION DEFAULT PENALTIES

(a) The Company and the Purchaser agree that the Purchaser will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date and if the

Registration Statement is not maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period. The Company and the Purchaser further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective as to the Underlying Shares covered thereby at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period due to an intentional and willful act by the Company without being succeeded immediately by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with the SEC covering such Underlying Shares (any such failure being referred to as a “Section 6.2(a) Event”), the Company shall pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to the Purchaser an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the product of U.S. $1.70 times the number of Shares purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (the “Damage Amount”). Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available cash funds. The parties agree that the Damage Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that will be incurred by the Purchaser if a Section 6.2(a) Event as described herein has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall remain obligated to cure the breach or correct the condition that caused the Section 6.2(a) Event to the extent otherwise consistent with its obligations under Section 6.1, and the Purchaser shall have the right to take any action necessary or desirable to enforce such obligations.

(b) The Company and the Purchaser agree that the Purchaser will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not declared effective with respect to all of the Underlying Shares on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline as set forth in Section 6.1(b). The Company and the Purchaser further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective with respect to all of the Underlying Shares on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company shall pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to the Purchaser an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the product of U.S. $1.70 times the number of Underlying Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or similar transactions) that the Purchaser obtained the right to acquire upon the purchase of the Shares and the Warrant pursuant to this Agreement and that were not registered under the Registration Statement (the “Effectiveness Damage Amount”); provided, however, that, with respect to the Underlying Shares that the Purchaser has the right to acquire upon exercise of the Warrant only, in no event shall any Effectiveness Damage Amount be due and payable with respect to any such Underlying Shares unless and until such time as the Registration Statement continues not to be effective with respect to some or all of such Underlying Shares and the closing per share market price of the Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market (or any successor exchange or other market on which the Common Stock is then traded), exceeds the then applicable per share “Exercise Price” of the Warrant. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available cash funds. The parties agree that the amounts set forth in this Section 6.2(b) represent a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that will be incurred by the Purchaser if the Registration Statement is not declared effective with respect to all of the Underlying Shares on or prior to its Effectiveness Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall remain obligated to

cause the Registration Statement to become effective in accordance with its obligations set forth in Section 6.1, and the Purchaser shall have the right to take any action necessary or desirable to enforce such obligations.

6.3 TRANSFER OF SECURITIES AFTER REGISTRATION; SUSPENSION.

(a) The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares, Warrants or Underlying Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, other than transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.1 and as described below, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Purchaser or its plan of distribution.

(b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall: (i) if deemed necessary by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not 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 not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Underlying Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Purchaser copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i); and (iii) upon request, inform each Purchaser who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 6.3(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its reasonable efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify (but in any event within five (5) business days) the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3(b)(i) hereof when the amendment has become effective).

(c) Subject to paragraph (d) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other U.S. Federal or U.S. state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement 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 Underlying Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) that the financial statements included in the Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or in the event of the occurrence of any event or circumstance which the Company believes necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission 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; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to the Purchaser (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchaser will discontinue disposition of Underlying Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchaser’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable within 30 days after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers.

(d) Provided that a Suspension is not then in effect the Purchaser may sell Underlying Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that it arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee of such Shares. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to the Purchaser and to any other parties requiring such Prospectuses.

(e) In the event of a sale of Underlying Shares by the Purchaser, unless such requirement is waived by the Company in writing, the Purchaser must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with a copy to the Company, a “certificate of subsequent sale” in substantially in the form provided or approved by the Company, so that the Underlying Shares may be properly transferred.

6.4 INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) For the purpose of this Section 6.4:

(i) the term “Selling Stockholder” shall include the Purchaser, each of its members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;

(ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any preliminary or final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement (or deemed to be a part thereof) referred to in Section 6.1; and

(iii) the term “Untrue Statement” shall include any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement 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.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Stockholder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, to which such Selling Stockholder may become subject (under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon or related to (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement (ii) any material inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder, or (iii) any material failure by the Company to fulfill any material undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Stockholder for any reasonable legal or other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon or related to, an Untrue Statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling Stockholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or the failure of such Selling Stockholder to comply with his, her or its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser.

(c) The Purchaser agrees (severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser) to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any and all Losses to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon or related to, (i) any failure by the Purchaser to comply with his, her or its covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any Untrue Statement of a material fact contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement if and only if such Untrue Statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the aggregate amount that the Purchaser shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) shall in no event be greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of Underlying Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Losses less amounts previously paid by the Purchaser with respect to any such Losses.

(d) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6.4, such indemnified person shall notify the

indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 6.4 (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 6.4. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party), such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.4 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsection (b) or (c) above in respect of any Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, 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 (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such Losses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any Untrue Statement, 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 or Untrue Statement. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to

above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Underlying Shares to which such loss relates and not joint. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser shall be required to contribute under this Section 6.4(e) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Purchaser as a result of the sale of Underlying Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(f) The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 6.4, and are fully informed regarding such provisions. The parties further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 6.4 fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

6.5 TERMINATION OF CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 4 or this Section 6 upon the transferability of the Underlying Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Underlying Shares when the sale of such Underlying Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.

6.6 INFORMATION AVAILABLE. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Underlying Shares by the Purchaser, the Company will furnish to the Purchaser:

(a) as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants) and (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);

(b) upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, will meet with the Purchaser or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Underlying Shares and will otherwise cooperate with the Purchaser conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Purchaser’s exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its

headquarters with the Purchaser until and unless the Purchaser shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with the Company with respect thereto.

6.7 TRANSFERABILITY OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The registration rights set forth in this Agreement are transferable to any transferee of Shares, Warrants or Underlying Shares, as applicable, so long as such transfer is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and such transferee consents in writing to be bound by the covenants set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement (to the extent reasonably applicable) and all of the terms and conditions of Section 6 this Agreement.
