future) for purposes of the Securities Act or any applicable rules
of the American Stock Exchange. The Company will not make any
offers or sales of any security (other than the Series F Preferred
Stock and Warrants in the Offering) that would cause the offering

(“ State Acts ”). Subscriber further agrees that
it will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
the Shares, Warrants or Underlying Shares (collectively, the
“ Securities ”) in violation of the Securities
Act or State Acts and acknowledges that, in taking unregistered
securities, it must continue to bear economic risk in regard to its
investment for an indefinite period of time because of the fact
that none of the Securities have been registered under the
Securities Act or State Acts and further realizes that the
Securities cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and State Acts or an exemption from such
registration is available. Subscriber further recognizes that the
Company is not assuming any obligation to register the Securities.
Subscriber also acknowledges that appropriate legends reflecting
the status of the Securities under the Securities Act and State
Acts may be placed on the face of the certificates for the
Securities at the time of their transfer and delivery to the holder
thereof. This Agreement is made with Subscriber in reliance upon
Subscriber’s above representations.

be furnished with an opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
the proposed transfer would be in compliance with the Securities
Act and State Acts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, furnishing such
opinion of counsel shall not be a condition to any transfer of the
Securities to an affiliate of Subscriber, including for this
