(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in
12
any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement including the Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 7, 2010 (the June Registration Statement).
(f) Information. Such Purchaser represents that it has access to and has reviewed copies of the Companys SEC Documents, the June Registration Statement and each of the exhibits attached hereto. Such Purchaser and its attorneys, investment advisors, business advisors, tax advisors and accountants have had sufficient access to all documents and records pertaining to the Company and this proposed investment, including but not limited to the SEC Documents and the exhibits attached hereto. Additionally, such Purchaser and all of its advisors have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and other matters pertaining to this investment, and all such questions have been answered to the satisfaction of such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and all of its advisors have had an opportunity to obtain any additional information which the Company possesses, or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished in the SEC Documents, the June Registration Statement and any exhibits attached hereto.
(g) Risk/Lack of Market. Such Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Securities involves significant risks, including, without limitation, those set forth in the SEC Documents, the June Registration Statement and any of the exhibits attached hereto. Such Purchaser has reviewed the Risk Factors attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit E. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Companys continued operation is highly dependent upon its ability to raise substantial additional capital and/or increase revenues. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising any such capital and/or increasing revenues. The failure to raise such capital and/or increase revenues will have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations and financial condition and on its ability to continue as a going concern. Such Purchaser realizes that it may not be able to sell or dispose of any of the Securities and that no market of any kind (public or private) may be available for any of the Securities at the time such Purchaser elects to sell its Securities. In addition, such Purchaser understands that its right to transfer the Securities will be subject to restrictions contained in applicable federal and state securities laws.
(h) Indemnification Representations of Purchaser. The representations, warranties and agreements made by such Purchaser herein have been made with the intent that they be relied upon by the Company and Noble Financial, and any of its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, employees or agents (the Placement Agent) for purposes of this offering. Such Purchaser represents and warrants that none of the representations or warranties made by such Purchaser herein or any Accredited Investor Questionnaire submitted by such Purchaser to the Company (Purchaser Statements) contain any false or misleading statement or omit to state a material fact. Such Purchaser shall indemnify the Company and the Placement Agent to the extent the Company or the Placement Agent incurs or suffers any damage, expenses, loss, claim, judgment or liability resulting from the Companys reliance upon any Purchaser Statements made by such Purchaser.

ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Shares, and shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, in the following form:
THESE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
4.2. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general corporate purposes.
4.3. Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D, with the assistance of the Placement Agent and its counsel, and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or Blue Sky laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.4 Acknowledgement of Placement Agent Fees. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has engaged the Placement Agent. The Company expects to pay commissions to the Placement Agent, a registered broker/dealer firm, as follows:
14
(a) At each closing (Closing) of any sale of the Securities to purchasers introduced by the Placement Agent, a cash fee equal to (i) 7% for equity or equity-linked securities, (ii) 5% for subordinated debt (including mezzanine debt) securities, and (iii) 3% for senior secured debt securities, of the aggregate gross proceeds received from a sale of the Securities. Additionally, at each Closing of any sale of the Securities, the Placement Agent shall have the right to purchase, for $.0001 each, cashless exercise warrants to purchase common stock equal to the aggregate gross proceeds received from a sale of Securities divided by the Companys closing stock price at each Closing multiplied by (i) 7% for equity or equity-linked, (ii) 5% for subordinated debt, and (iii) 3% for senior secured debt. Such warrants will have a term of five years and have an exercise price equal to 100% of the Companys closing stock price at each Closing. Such warrants will be transferable to the Placement Agents employees and affiliates. The Placement Agent shall also be granted one time piggyback registration rights with respect to the Securities underlying such warrants. In addition to compensation payable at any Closing, the Placement Agent will be entitled to a warrant exercise fee equal to (i) a cash fee of 4% for the gross proceeds received by the Company for the exercise of any warrants issued to investors in transactions for which the Placement Agent acted as placement agent including the Warrants issued to the Purchasers and (ii) cashless exercise warrants to purchase common stock for $.0001 each, equal to the aggregate gross proceeds received from the exercise of such warrants divided by the Companys then-current stock price at each exercise multiplied by 4%. Such warrants will have a term of five years and have an exercise price equal to 100% of the Companys closing stock price at the applicable investor warrant exercise date.
(b) In accordance with an Advisory Agreement dated June 16, 2010, the Company is paying the Placement Agent a financial advisory fee (Advisory Fee) of (i) $15,000 cash for each month for a two-year term, plus (ii) five year cash warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Companys (or its successors) common stock exercisable at $1.10 per share (vesting at the rate of 20,000 shares per month, with 20,000 shares previously vested), which, in accordance with that agreement, is transferable to the Placement Agents employees and affiliates for which the Placement Agent and its transferees will have one-time piggyback registration rights with respect to the common stock underlying such warrants.
(c) Whether or not a sale of the Securities occurs, the Company will reimburse the Placement Agent upon demand (accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation), up to a maximum of $10,000 for the reasonable expenses of the Placement Agent incurred in connection with its acting as placement agent in this offering, plus up to a maximum of $1,500 for counsel to the Placement Agent in connection with the Blue Sky obligations described in Section 4.3.
(d) The Placement Agent will have a right of first refusal to act as the exclusive placement agent or underwriter for all offerings involving the sale of the Companys securities by the Company or any affiliate for a period of 12 months after the final Closing Date, in the event of any sale of Securities pursuant to this Agreement.
4.5 Acknowledgement of Placement Agent Participation in this Offering. Each Purchaser acknowledges and accepts that the Placement Agent, its partners, managers, members, shareholders, directors, officers, affiliates, employees and agents may participate in making an investment in this offering, and accordingly that such role as a Placement Agent and investor
15
may be an inherent conflict of interest with such Purchaser. The Placement Agent and/or its affiliates are the beneficial owners of more than 1% of the Companys outstanding shares of Common Stock, as previously disclosed in the June Registration Statement. By execution of this Agreement, each Purchaser hereby waives any potential conflict of interest that may exist as a result of the foregoing.
4.6 Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall indemnify upon demand the Company and the Placement Agent, and its partners, managers, members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and any of the affiliates of the foregoing (the Indemnified Persons) and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damages, penalties, actions, suits, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses) which may be imposed upon, asserted against, paid or incurred by the Indemnified Persons (except and only to the extent that the same arises solely from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Person) at any time or from time to time in connection with the enforcement of the terms hereof against such Purchaser, or related to the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby with respect to such Purchaser, including the prosecution or defense of any suit against such Purchaser relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any default by such Purchaser under this Agreement, including those caused by an Indemnified Persons negligence (collectively the Indemnified Liability); provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment to any Indemnified Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liability resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Person.
4.7 Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, a Purchaser Party) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchasers representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the
16
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Companys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Partys breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchasers obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated with such Purchaser on or before five (5) days from the date hereof; provided, however, that such termination will not affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties). In the event of any such termination, the Company shall promptly return (or cause the Escrow Agent to return) the Purchase Amount to such Purchaser in immediately available funds, without any offset or deduction of any sort.
5.2. Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.3. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

17
5.4. Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers of at least a majority in interest of the Securities still held by Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.5. Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities for a period of twelve months.
5.6. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
5.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the Purchasers.
5.8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
5.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; No Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of West Palm Beach, Florida. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of West Palm Beach, Florida for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for
18
notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have, and agrees not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection with or arising out of the Transaction Documents.
5.10. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof.
5.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.12. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.13. Independent Nature of Purchasers Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
19
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
5.14. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.15. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents, 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 the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
5.16. Expenses. The Company shall bear its own expenses and legal fees incurred on its behalf with respect to the negotiation, execution and consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and the Company will pay all of the legal fees and disbursements of a single counsel for all of the Purchasers for work relating to the review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents, upon receipt of itemized statements therefor, up to a maximum payment of $25,000.
