(e)  Experience of Such Investor.  Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Such Investor understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(h)  No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which 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 of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or perform its obligations hereunder.

(j)  No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice.  Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  Such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.  Such Investor understands that the Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the Securities, and that the Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of this transaction or as to the accuracy of any information such Investor may have received in connection therewith.  Such Investor acknowledges that he has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of the Agent.

(n)  Legends.  Such Investor understands that the certificates or other instruments representing the Common Shares and the Warrants and, until such time as the resale of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares has been registered under the Securities Act as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, the stock certificates representing the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
 
4.1  Transfer Restrictions.
 
(a)  The Investors covenant that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or any transfer of Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any portion of Rule 144 after February 15, 2008), the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its Transfer Agent, without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.
 
(b)  The Investors agree to the imprinting, until no longer required by this Section 4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities:
 
THESE SECURITIES 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”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT..  THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
 
B-11

Certificates evidencing the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Securities can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (or any portion of Rule 144 after February 15, 2008), or (iv) if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC).    The Company covenants and agrees that restrictive legends shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) if such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.  The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective Date.  Following the Effective Date and provided the registration statement referred to in clause (i) above is then in effect, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the Company will no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent (if delivery is made to the Transfer Agent a copy shall be contemporaneously delivered to the Company) of (i) a legended certificate representing such Securities (and, in the case of a requested transfer, endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect transfer), and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that expand the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
 
If within three Trading Days after receipt by the Company or its Transfer Agent of a legended certificate and the other documents as specified in Clauses (i) and (ii) of the paragraph immediately above, the Company shall fail to cause to be issued and delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, and if on or after such Trading Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of shares of Common Stock that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend (the “Covering Shares”), then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Investor’s request, pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares, over the product of (A) the number of Covering Shares, times (B) the closing bid price on the date of delivery of such certificate and the other documents as specified in Clauses (i) and (ii) of the paragraph immediately above.
 
(c)  The Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) an Investor to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) such Investor to transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Except as required by law, such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, no legal opinion of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith (but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge), and no notice shall be required of such pledge.  Each Investor acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between any Investor and its pledgee or secured party.  At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Provided that the Company is in compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1(c), the Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 7.18 shall not extend to any Proceeding or Losses arising out of or related to this Section 4.1(c).
 
4.2  Furnishing of Information.  Until the date that any Investor owning Common Shares or Warrant Shares may sell all of them under Rule 144(k) (or Rule 144 after February 15, 2008) of the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.  The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section 4.2.  The Company shall submit to the SEC, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request.
 
4.3  Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
 
4.4  Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall issue a press release disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby at or before 9:00 a.m., New York time, on February 15, 2008.  Within two business days of the date hereof, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “8-K Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents and the form of Warrants, in the form required by the Exchange Act.  Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the SEC or applicable law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.  Except as herein provided or in connection with the filing of the 8-K Filing or Registration Statement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any press release without the prior written consent of such Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless otherwise required by law, regulatory authority or Trading Market.  No Investor will be in possession of material non-public information received from the Company or any Person acting on its behalf that is not disclosed in the press release referenced above and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, and shall cause each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary from and after the issuance of the above referenced press release without the express written consent of such Investor.

4.5  Use of Proceeds.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities to purchase the telecommunications assets of Intel Corp.’s optical platform division, future potential acquisitions, working capital and general corporate purposes.  The Company also may use a portion of the net proceeds, currently intended for general corporate purposes, to acquire or invest in technologies, products or services that complement its business, although the Company has no present plans or commitments and is not currently engaged in any material negotiations with respect to these types of transactions.  Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as otherwise pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies.
 
4.6           Additional Registration Statements.  From the date hereof and until the date that is forty-five (45) calendar days after the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last day of the Registration Period (each as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) (the "Trigger Date"), the Company shall not file a registration statement under the 1933 Act (other than on Form S-8) relating to securities that are not the Securities.
 
4.7           Additional Issuances.  From the date hereof until the Trigger Date, other than Excluded Securities, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries' equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities.

7.9  Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS.  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR HEREUNDER, 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 WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  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 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 MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
7.10  Survival.  Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7.1, the representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing Date.  Each Investor shall be responsible solely for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
 
7.11  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 email attachment, 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 email-attached signature page were an original thereof.
 
7.12  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
 
7.13  Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to such Investor by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company’s related obligation, such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
7.14  Replacement of Securities.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
 
7.15  Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to seek 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 described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
7.16  Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor hereunder or any Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
B-15

7.17  Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices.  In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
 
7.18  Indemnification.  In consideration of each Investor's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents.  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 that is permissible under applicable law.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 7.18 shall be the same as those set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
7.19  Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Documents.  The decision of each Investor to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document.  Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.  Each Investor shall be entitled to 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

Exhibit C-1
 
OPINION OF JONES DAY
 
We have acted as special counsel for Emcore Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase from the Company by the several purchasers named in Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Purchasers”) of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to acquire additional shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of February 15, 2008 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Purchasers.  This letter is furnished to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(iii) of the Stock Purchase Agreement.  Except as otherwise defined herein, terms used in this letter are used as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinions.  Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
 
1.  
Assuming that (a) the Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of State of New Jersey and (b) the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of February 15, 2008 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Purchasers (i) have been (A) authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and (B) executed and delivered by the Company under the laws of the State of New Jersey and (ii) do not violate the laws of the State of New Jersey, each of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
 
2.  
No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company, or in connection with the issuance or sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants by the Company to the Purchasers, except as may be required under (i) state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
3.  
The execution, delivery and performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants by the Company and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company will not violate any law or regulation known to us to be generally applicable to transactions of this type, or any order or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency that is binding upon the Company or its property  (this opinion being limited to (i) those orders and decrees identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, and (ii) in that we express no opinion with respect to any violation not readily ascertainable from the face of any such order or decree).
 
4.  
It is not necessary in connection with the offer and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants to the Purchasers under the Stock Purchase Agreement to register the Common Stock or the Warrants under the Securities Act.
 
5.  
The Company is not required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and assumptions:
 
We have assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of original and certified documents and the conformity to original or certified copies of all copies submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies.  For the purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we also have assumed that each of the Purchasers has authorized, executed and delivered the documents to which each of them is a party and that each of such documents is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the Purchasers.
 
As to facts material to the opinions and assumptions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others, including the representations and warranties of the Company in the Stock Purchase Agreement.  We have not independently verified such matters.
 
B-68

Our opinions set forth in paragraph 1 above with respect to the enforceability of the documents referred to in such opinions are subject to: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws, and related regulations and judicial doctrines from time to time in effect, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, good faith and fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought; (iii) the qualification that we express no opinion as to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision in any document or security (A) relating to indemnification, contribution or exculpation that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation) or (B) that imposes payment obligations at a rate or in an amount that a court would determine in the circumstances under applicable law to be commercially unreasonable or a penalty or a forfeiture; and (iv) the qualification that to the extent any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions of the documents or securities referred to therein, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401, 5-1402 (McKinney 2001) and N.Y. C.P.L.R. 327(b) (McKinney 2001), and that such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations.
 
With respect to our opinions in paragraph 3 above, we express no opinion as to state securities or “blue sky” laws.
 
In rendering the opinions set forth in paragraph 4 above, we have assumed: (i) that the offer and sale of the Common Stock and the Warrants will be conducted solely in the manner contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the accuracy and completeness of the respective representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers and compliance with their respective covenants and agreements as set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
The opinions expressed herein are limited to (i) the federal securities laws of the United States of America and (ii) the laws of the State of New York, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction on the opinions expressed herein.
 
We express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance or noncompliance, of each of the addressees or any other person or entity with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to each of them by reason of their status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution.  Our opinions are limited to those expressly set forth herein, and we express no opinions by implication.
 
This letter is furnished by us to you solely for the benefit of the Purchasers and solely with respect to the purchase of the Common Stock and Warrants from the Company by the Purchasers, upon the understanding that we are not hereby assuming any professional responsibility to any other person whatsoever, and that this letter is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose.

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT
February __, 2008
 
Emcore Corporation
10420 Research Road, SE
Albuquerque, new Mexico 87123

 
Re:  EMCORE Corporation – Lock-Up Agreement
 
Dear Sirs:
 
This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of February __, 2008 by and among EMCORE Corporation (the "Company") and the investors party thereto (the "Buyers"), with respect to the issuance of (i) shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock") and (ii) warrants which will be exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  This Lock-Up Agreement is one of a series of Lock-Up Agreements being executed and delivered on the date hereof by the executive officers of the Company (i.e. Reuben Richards, Hong Hou, Adam Gushard, Keith Kosco and John Iannelli) (collectively, the “Lock-Up Agreements”)
 
In order to induce the Buyers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the last day of the Registration Period (the "Lock-Up Period"), the undersigned will not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any securities of the Company owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any securities of the Company, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, (collectively, the "Undersigned’s Shares").
 
The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if the Undersigned’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Undersigned’s Shares.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein or (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.  For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.  The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever.  The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.  Further, the following shall not be subject to this Lock-Up Agreement: (i) [Richards only] an aggregate of up to 100,000 of the Undersigned’s Shares issued upon the exercise of stock options outstanding on the date hereof, and (ii) the portion of an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for all Lock-Up Agreements allocated to the undersigned by action of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
Nothing contained in this letter agreement shall restrict, or be deemed to restrict, the undersigned from entering into any plan adopted and established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, so long as no transactions in the Company’s securities occur pursuant to such plan prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
 
The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
 
This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.
 
B-72

This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction's choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
 
The Company hereby appoints [______________________________], as its agent for service of process in New York.  The undersigned hereby appoints [______________________________], as its agent for service of process in New York.

[COMPANY TRANSFER AGENT]
[ADDRESS]
Attention:                                [_________], Account Representative
 
Re:           EMCORE Corporation
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We are counsel to EMCORE Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January __, 2008 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers shares of Common Stock of the Company, no par value (the “Common Shares”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”), which are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”).  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the resale of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, on                       , 2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-                      ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Purchasers as a selling shareholder thereunder.
 
In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at               [a.m.][p.m.] on                       , 2008, and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the Commission and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
This letter shall serve as our standing notice to you that the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares may be freely transferred by the Purchasers pursuant to the Registration Statement so long as the Holders certify they will comply with the plan of distribution description in connection with sales or transfers of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares set forth in the Registration Statement and with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, to the extent such delivery requirement are applicable. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares to the Purchasers or the transferees of the Purchasers, as the case may be, as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated                      , 2008.

(A)  an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto; and
 
(B)  payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, (ii) cancellation of indebtedness or (iii) pursuant to a cashless exercise as set forth in Section 2.1 below.
 
The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder unless such exercise is an exercise of the Warrant in full.  Execution and delivery of the Notice of Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Exercise Shares, if any.
 
The Company shall (i) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (ii) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise within three (3) Business Days from the delivery to the Company of (A) the Notice of Exercise and (B) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above or cash exercise pursuant to Section 2.2.  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Delivery Documents (as defined below) are received by the Company (any such date, the “Exercise Date”).  On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above or cashless exercise pursuant to Section 2.2) (the “Exercise Delivery Documents”), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Transfer Agent.  The Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the Exercise Date.
 
The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the Exercise Date is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
 
To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Exercise Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Exercise Shares.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

Where X =                                the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

2.4  PAYMENT OF TAXES AND EXPENSES.  The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any issuance and delivery of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Exercise Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant, provided that the Holder shall pay any transfer tax in connection with any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant or such Exercise Shares to any transferee.
 
2.5  EXERCISE LIMITATIONS; HOLDER’S RESTRICTIONS.  The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other shares of Common Stock or Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.4, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.4 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s  determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  For purposes of this Section 2.4, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Business Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by such Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Company Warrants.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.4 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
 
C-4

2.6  CALL PROVISION.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 and this Section 2.6, if, at any time after February 19, 2010 (the “Triggering Date”) that (i) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the Exercise Price for at least 20 Trading Days within a period of any 30 consecutive Trading Days after the Triggering Date (the “Call Measuring Period”), (ii) the arithmetic average of the daily volume of the Common Stock during the Call Measuring Period (determined by dividing the aggregate volume of trades for each Trading Day during the Call Measuring Period by 30) exceeds 500,000 shares of Common Stock and (iii) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure, then the Company may, within one (1) Trading Day of the end of such Measurement Period, call for the cancellation of all or any portion of this Warrant for which a Notice of Exercise has not yet been delivered (such right, a “Call”) for consideration equal to $0.01 per Exercise Share.  To exercise this right, the Company must deliver to the Holder an irrevocable written notice (a “Call Notice”), which shall state (A) the Call Date (as defined below) and (B) the aggregate number of Exercise Shares which the Company has elected to be subject to the Call by all of the holders of the Company Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.6 (and analogous provisions under the other Company Warrants) on the Call Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this subsection shall prevent the Holder from exercising this Warrant, in whole or part, prior to such Call Date.  If the conditions set forth below for such Call are satisfied from the period from the date of the Call Notice through and including the Call Date, then any portion of this Warrant subject to such Call Notice for which a Notice of Exercise shall not have been received by the Call Date will be cancelled at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the twentieth (20th) Trading Day after the date the Call Notice is received by the Holder (such date and time, the “Call Date”).  Any unexercised portion of this Warrant to which the Call Notice does not pertain will be unaffected by such Call Notice.  In furtherance thereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Exercise with respect to Exercise Shares subject to a Call Notice that are tendered through 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date.  The Company agrees that any Notice of Exercise delivered on or after a Call Notice which calls less than all the Warrants shall first reduce to zero the number of Exercise Shares subject to such Call Notice prior to reducing the remaining Exercise Shares available for purchase under this Warrant.  For example, if (x) this Warrant then permits the Holder to acquire one hundred (100) Exercise Shares, (y) a Call Notice pertains to seventy-five (75) Exercise Shares, and (z) prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date the Holder tenders a Notice of Exercise in respect of fifty (50) Exercise Shares, then (1) on the Call Date the right under this Warrant to acquire twenty-five (25) Exercise Shares will be automatically cancelled, (2) the Company, in the time and manner required under this Warrant, will have issued and delivered to the Holder fifty (50) Exercise Shares in respect of the exercises following receipt of the Call Notice, and (3) the Holder may, until the end of the Initial Termination Date, exercise this Warrant for twenty-five (25) Exercise Shares (subject to adjustment as herein provided and subject to subsequent Call Notices).  Subject again to the provisions of this Section 2.6, the Company may deliver subsequent Call Notices for any portion of this Warrant for which the Holder shall not have delivered a Notice of Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, the Company may not deliver a Call Notice or require the cancellation of this Warrant (and any such Call Notice shall be void), unless, from the beginning of the Call Measurement Period through the Call Date, (i) the Company shall have honored in accordance with the terms of this Warrant all Notices of Exercise delivered by  5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date; (ii) there has been no Equity Conditions Failure; (iii) the Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on an Eligible Market; (iv) there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance of all Exercise Shares; and (v) the issuance of the shares shall not cause a breach of any provision of Section 2.5 herein.  The Company’s right to call the Warrants under this Section 2.6 shall be exercised ratably among all holders of Company Warrants based on each holder’s initial purchase of Warrants.
 
2.7  COMPANY’S FAILURE TO TIMELY DELIVER SECURITIES.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such third Business Day that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section 2.1.  In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Exercise Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Exercise Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Exercise Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
 
3.  COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
 
3.1  COVENANTS AS TO EXERCISE SHARES.  The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.  The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by the Company Warrants.  If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of all of the Company Warrants (an “Authorized Share Failure”), the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders' approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
 
3.2  NO IMPAIRMENT.  The Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Company Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Company Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Company Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).
C-5

3.3  NOTICES OF RECORD DATE AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS.  In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, a notice specifying such date.  In the event of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the occurrence of any such event, a notice specifying such date.  In the event the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the occurrence of such event, a notice specifying such date.
 
4.  ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND SHARES.
 
(A)  In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, reorganizations, liquidations, consolidation, acquisition of the Company (whether through merger or acquisition of substantially all the assets or stock of the Company), or the like, the number, class and type of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and type of shares or other property as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until the event requiring adjustment.  The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
 
(B)  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) pursuant to a dividend or distribution declared by the Company (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 4(a) above), shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor,
 
(I)  Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution; or
 
(II)  any cash paid or payable, then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in this clause (II)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property.
 
(C)  If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) pursuant to a dividend or distribution declared by the Company (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 4(A) or 4(B) above), shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up or similar corporate rearrangement (a “Spin Distribution”), then and in each such case:
 
(I)  any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the Spin Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the record date minus the value of the Spin Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day on such record date; and
 
(II)  the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Spin Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (a); provided that in the event that the dividend or distribution is of shares of common stock ("Other Shares of Common Stock") of a company whose common shares are traded on an Eligible Market, then the Holder may elect to receive, in lieu of an increase in the number of Exercise Shares, a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the dividend or distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the Exercise Price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the dividend or distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (I) and the number of Exercise Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (II).
 
(D)  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Exercise Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.  The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
 
(E)  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
5.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto.  All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the Weighted Average Price of an Exercise Share on the Exercise Date by such fraction.
 
C-6

6.  FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
 
6.1  Upon any Fundamental Transaction while this Warrant is outstanding, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Exercise Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, upon exercise of this Warrant (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination), the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.  The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 6 and ensuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
6.2  Notwithstanding the foregoing:
 
(A)  in the event of any Fundamental Transaction other than a Public Stock Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction; and
 
(B)  in the event of any Partial Cash Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time before the 90th day after such Partial Cash Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase from the Holder a portion of this Warrant equal to the Cash Percentage by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Partial Cash Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Cash Percentage of the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Partial Cash Transaction.
 
7.  NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.  Other than as provided in Section 3.3 or otherwise herein, this Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 7, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders, unless in each case such information is publicly available via EDGAR.
 
8.  TRANSFER OF WARRANT.  Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder.  The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel.
 
9.  LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
 
10.  NOTICES, ETC.  All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page hereto and to Holder at the  applicable address set forth on the applicable signature page to the Stock Purchase Agreement or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
 
11.  ACCEPTANCE.  Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
 
12.  DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price with respect to some or all of this Warrant or the arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Exercise giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Exercise Shares within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days submit via facsimile the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Holder.  The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.  Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
 
C-7

13.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accor­dance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.
 
14.  REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant (to the extent that such actual damages exceed the amount of prior payments hereunder by the Company in respect of such failure).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
15.  AMENDMENT OR WAIVER.  Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.  Any term of all of the Company Warrants may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and holders of Company Warrants representing at least two-thirds of the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding Company Warrants.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term hereunder may be waived without the written consent of the Holder only in a manner which applies to all Company Warrants in the same fashion and (b) the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant and the Exercise Price of this Warrant may not be amended, and the right to exercise this Warrant may not be waived, without the written consent of the Holder.  No amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Company Warrants then outstanding.  No consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any the Company Warrants unless the same consideration also is offered to all holders of Company Warrants.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Holder of any amendment hereof or waiver hereunder that was effected without the Holder’s written consent.  No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
 
16.  SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
 
17.  COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.  By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be acquired not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; that Holder has had such opportunity as Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding this Warrant or the Exercise Shares for an indefinite period; that Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”); that Holder understands that shares of Warrant Stock will not be registered under the Act (unless otherwise required pursuant to exercise by Holder of the registration rights, if any, previously granted to Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least six months from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by the SEC for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.1; and that all stock certificates representing Exercise Shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:
 
THESE SECURITIES 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”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

(a)  Mandatory Registration.  The Buyers acknowledge that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of their resale of the Common Shares.  The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.  The Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline.  No later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the first Business Day following the Effective Date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (which notice shall be transmitted to all Holders at approximately the same time) and, no later than the second Business Day following the Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
(b)  Legal Counsel.  Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, or such counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders.  The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
 
(c)  Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement, or both, to register any unregistered portion of the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities, determined as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement.  The filing of the amendment or new Registration Statement, as applicable, should occur as soon as practicable.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount.  The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Warrants are then exercisable into shares of Common Stock.
 
(d)  Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.  If (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”); (ii) on any day after the Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(n)) pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on an Eligible Market) (a “Maintenance Failure”); or (iii) after the date six months following the Closing Date, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) as a result of which the Buyers are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) (a “Current Public Information Default”) then, as liquidated damages reflecting a reasonable approximation of the uncertain damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one (1) percent (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price) (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (i) the day that a Filing Failure occurs and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for shorter periods) thereafter until such Filing Failure is cured; (ii) the day that an Effectiveness Failure occurs and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for shorter periods) thereafter until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for shorter periods) thereafter until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (iv) the day that a Current Public Information Default occurs and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for shorter periods) thereafter until such Current Public Information Default is cured.  The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Liquidated Damages.” Liquidated Damages shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Liquidated Damages are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Liquidated Damages is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Liquidated Damages shall bear simple interest at the rate of four (4) percent (4%) per month (pro rated for shorter periods) until paid in full.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable for any period after the expiration of the Registration Period (except in respect of a Current Public Information Default), and in no event shall the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages (excluding Liquidated Damages in respect of Current Public Information Defaults) exceed, in the aggregate, ten (10) percent (10%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Common Shares.
 
D-2

(e)  Allocation of Registrable Securities.  The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and each increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC.  In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor.  Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.  In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
 
3.  Related Obligations.  At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(c) or 2(d), the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and the Company and the Investors shall have the following obligations:
 
(a)  The Company shall submit to the SEC, as soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request.  The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the first date as of which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act, or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”).  The registration and maintenance obligations under this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the end of the Registration Period.
 
(b)  The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Rule 424 prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period, and (ii) during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement until the end of the Registration Period.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement that are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, including, pursuant to this Section 3(b), by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, Form 8-K or any other report or other document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each such document, a “1934 Act Report”), the Company shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC as soon as practicable after the 1934 Act Report is filed or other event occurred that created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
 
(c)  The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for amendments and supplements filed solely to include information contained in 1934 Act Reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects.  The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor or Legal Counsel, and all exhibits, and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto.  The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.
 
(d)  The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, to the extent requested by an Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request), and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
 
(e)  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “Blue Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto (x) to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) to file a consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
D-3

(f)  The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information in addition to that specifically required pursuant to this Section 3(f)), and, subject to Section 3(n), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and, to the extent requested by an Investor, deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request).  The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness may be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
 
(g)  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction.  If such an order or suspension is issued, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension as promptly as practicable, and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof, or its receipt of notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
(h)  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or an Eligible Market.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(h).
 
(i)  The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
 
(j)  If requested by an Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.
 
(k)  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.  If required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the Company shall effect a filing with respect to the public offering contemplated by each Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”) with the FINRA Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASD Rule 2710(b)(10)(A)(i) within one Business Day of the date that the Registration Statement is first filed with the SEC and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement as described in the Plan of Distribution.
 
(l)  The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but in any event not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of a Registration Statement.

(n)  Allowable Grace Periods.
 
(i)  
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon (a) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to any Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (b) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact (a “Material Event”) as a result of which such Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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, or (c) the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development that, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of any Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, the Company shall (1) in the case of clause (b) above, as soon as, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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, as thereafter delivered to  purchasers of

  the Registrable Securities being offered and sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, subject to the first sentence of Section 3(n)(ii), use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and (2) give notice to Legal Counsel and the selling Investors that the availability of the Registration Statement and Prospectus is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”).  The Company shall also give a Deferral Notice upon the beginning of any Compliance Grace Period (as defined below) unless a Requested Grace Period (as defined below) is already in effect.  Upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, each Investor agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Investor has been advised in writing by the Company that the Registration Statement and Prospectus may be used. 
   
(ii)  
The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of such Registration Statement and Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (a) of Section 3(n)(i), as promptly as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (b) of Section 3(n)(i), as soon as, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and (z) in the case of clause (c) of Section 3(n)(i), as soon as, in the reasonable discretion of the Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate.  The period during which the availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus is suspended under the circumstances described in clauses (b) or (c) of Section 3(n)(i) above is referred to herein as a “Requested Grace Period.”  Any portion of a Requested Grace Period from the filing of an amendment to a Registration Statement until the declaration of effectiveness of such amendment by the SEC (so long as the Company continues to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable), is referred to herein as a  “Necessary Portion.
 
(iii)  
The following periods are referred to herein as “Compliance Grace Periods”:  (a) any period during which Legal Counsel is reviewing and commenting on a Registration Statement, Prospectus, amendment or supplement as contemplated by Section 3(c), (b) any period during which the Company is engaged in compliance with Section 3(j) following the request of an Investor, and (c) any period during which the Company is awaiting information or an executed document from one or more Investors following a request by the Company as contemplated by Section 4(a).  Requested Grace Periods and Compliance Grace Periods are referred to collectively herein as “Allowable Grace Periods.”
 
(iv)  
The aggregate duration of all Requested Grace Periods, excluding the duration of any Necessary Portions and any Compliance Grace Periods that occur during such Requested Grace Periods, shall not exceed 60 days in any 12-month period.  In order to enforce the covenants of the Investors set forth in this Section 3(n), the Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Investor until the end of each Allowable Grace Period.
 
(v)  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor, in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Company’s giving of a Deferral Notice and for which the Investor has not yet settled, and deliver a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement (unless an exemption from such prospectus delivery requirement exists).
 
(o)  If any Investor is described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors; provided, however, the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B shall not give rise to any rights under this Section 3(o).
 
(p)  If any Investor is described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement; provided, further, the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B shall not give rise to any rights under this Section 3(p).  Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.  Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(r)  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Buyer as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC or any Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or Eligible Market and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the "Plan of Distribution" section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

(b)  In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
 
(c)  Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all Indemnified Persons and Indemnified Parties to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, or (ii) includes any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure.
 
(d)  The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
 
The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
7.  Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
8.  Reports Under the 1934 Act.  With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees:
 
(a)  make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
 
(b)  file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required under the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
 
(c)  furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (provided that is has so complied), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities without registration pursuant to Rule 144.
 
D-7

9.  Assignment of Registration Rights.  The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and notice information of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of any such securities by the transferee or assignee may not be made immediately under Rule 144 without restriction or limitation; (iv) the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and provides its notice information for inclusion on the Schedule of Investors attached hereto; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement and applicable law.
 
10.  Amendment of Registration Rights.  Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with the previous sentence shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.  In addition to the foregoing, any Investor may waive the observance of provisions of this Agreement (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with respect to itself.  No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.  No consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
 
11.  Miscellaneous.
 
(a)  A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the record owner of such Registrable Securities.
 
(b)  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon transmission, when sent by facsimile, email or other form of electronic communication (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such communications shall be:

Re:  Emcore Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of Emcore Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of New Jersey (the “Company”), I am writing in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders its shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”), which are exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”).  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ________________ ___, 2008, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-__________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
 
In connection with the foregoing, I advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised the Company or its counsel by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and the Company has no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry by the Company or its counsel of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
 
This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement.  You need not require further letters from us or our counsel to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated ___________ ___, 2008, provided at the time of such reissuance, the Company has not otherwise notified you that the Registration Statement is unavailable for the resale of the Registrable Securities.
 
Very truly yours,

EMCORE CORPORATION

CC:  [LIST NAMES OF HOLDERS]

 

D-56


EXHIBIT B
 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the selling stockholders and those issuable to the selling stockholders upon the exercise of the warrants.  For additional information regarding the issuances of common stock, see “Private Placement of Common Shares and Warrants” above.  We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.  Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. [NOTE: this sentence need not be included with respect to any transferee for which the statement is not accurate.]
 
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.  The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants as of __________ ___, 2007, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise.
 
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.  In accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreement with the holders of the shares of common stock and the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issued and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised, as applicable, in full, in each case, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC.  The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.  Under the terms of the warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the warrants, to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised.  The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation.  The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering.  See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock previously issued and shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the common stock and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.  We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
 
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.  If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.  The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.  These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
 
 
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 
 
in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 
 
involving ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
involving block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
involving purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
involving an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
involving privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
involving short sales;
 
 
involving sales pursuant to Rule 144;
 
 
in connection with which broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
involving a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
involving any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).  In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales.  The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
