     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

     2. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur at a closing (the “Closing”) which is expected to occur on February 9, 2011 at or about 8:00 a.m., Los Angeles time (unless another time or date shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Investor) (the date of the Closing being referred to herein as, the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, (i) the Investor shall pay its Purchase Price to the Company for the Shares to be issued and sold to such Investor at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions, and (ii) upon confirmation of receipt of such wire, unless otherwise requested by the Investor and agreed to by the Company, the Shares purchased by the Investor will be delivered by electronic book-entry at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the Investor’s name and address as set forth on Exhibit A and will be released by Registrar and Transfer Company, the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), to the Investor at the Closing.

The Shares shall be free of restrictive legends.

The Investor agrees that such Prospectus may be delivered to it in electronic form.

     4. The offering and sale of the Shares are being made pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The Investor acknowledges that the Company intends to enter into agreements with certain other investors on substantially the same form of this Agreement (and at the same price per share) on or about the date hereof covering (including the Shares being issued hereunder) up to a total of Five Million Four Hundred Forty Three Thousand (5,443,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Offering”) pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the issuance of the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required by the Company, its board of directors or its shareholders. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

          (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) subject to obtaining the Required Approvals (as defined below), conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected except in each case of clause (ii) or (iii) such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties,

financial condition or results of operations of the Company as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the Closing Date) or materially impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

          (c) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, other than (i) the required filing of the Prospectus and the Registration Statement, (ii) applicable state securities law filings, (iii) the required filings with the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Trading Market”), and (iv) in all other cases, where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give such notice or make such filing or registration would not have a Material Adverse Effect (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Required Approvals”). The Company has obtained all the Required Approvals, except for those which will be obtained in the ordinary course prior to the Closing.

          (d) The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of first refusal, and conform to the description of Common Stock contained in the Prospectus. The Company has reserved a sufficient number of duly authorized shares of common stock to issue all of the Shares. At the Closing, the Shares shall have been approved for quotation on the Trading Market.

          (e) The Registration Statement (including any prospectus and prospectus supplement and all information or documents incorporated by reference therein) was declared effective by the Commission on February 13, 2008.

The offering, sale and issuance of the Shares to the Investor are registered under the Act by the Registration Statement, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company shall cause such Shares not to be freely transferable and tradable by the Investor without restriction. The Company is eligible to use Form S-3 under the Act for the

registration of the issuance and sale of the Shares. The Shares are being issued as described in the Registration Statement.

          (f) The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in material compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued trading of the Common Stock on the Trading Market. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder complies in all material respects with the rules or regulations of the Trading Market.

          (c) The Investor, together with its affiliates (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the Act) represents, warrants and agrees that, since the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Placement Agent first contacted such Investor about the Offering and (ii) the date of this Agreement, it has not engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company in violation of securities laws (including, without limitation, any short sales involving the Company’s securities). The Investor covenants that it will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including short sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.

The Company shall not be liable to any Investor under this provision in respect of any Indemnified Liability if such liability arises out of any misrepresentation by the Investor in Section 6 of this Agreement or actions taken by such Investor otherwise than as explicitly set forth herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

     9. Notwithstanding any investigation made by any party to this Agreement or by the Placement Agent, all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Investor herein will survive the execution of this Agreement, the delivery to the Investor of the Shares being purchased and the payment therefor. The Placement Agent shall be a third party beneficiary with respect to covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Agreement.

     10. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
