their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or
might constitute material, non-public information. The Company
understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing
representation in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. All disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to
the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is
true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made

indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of

provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company

Company’s current liabilities, and (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof. The
Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as
they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on
or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts
or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization
or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(ww) sets

of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has

transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any

shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any

Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges
that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company
(or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further
represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the

with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing
activity pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened with respect to the
Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its

information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such
individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company (or any
Subsidiary) because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company
(or any Subsidiary); and to the Company’s knowledge the continued employment by
the Company (and its Subsidiaries) of their respective present employees, and
the performance of the Company’s (and Subsidiaries’) contracts with its
independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The
Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has
occurred. No employee of the Company or any Subsidiary has been
granted the right to continued employment by the Company (or any Subsidiary) or
to any material compensation following termination of employment with the
Company (or any Subsidiary). The Company is not aware that any
officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or
their employment with the Company (or any Subsidiary) nor does the Company have
a present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or
group of employees. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all
U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

Management. Each officer and key employee of the Company and its
Subsidiaries is currently devoting substantially all of his or her business time
to the conduct of business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
aware that any officer or key employee of the Company or any Subsidiary is
planning to work less than full time at the Company or any Subsidiary, as

Subsidiaries that are reflected on the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ balance
sheets or interim balance sheets or on the accounting records of the Company and
its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”)
represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made
or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business. Unless paid
prior to the Closing Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the
Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the
balance sheet or interim balance sheet or on the accounting records of the
Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate
and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as
of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts
Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the interim
balance sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will
not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts
Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts
Receivable either has been or will be collected in full without any set-off,
within ninety days after the day on which it must becomes due and payable. There
is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, other than returns in the ordinary
course of business, under any agreement and/or contract with any obligor of an
Accounts Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Accounts
Receivable. Schedule

as of the date of the interim balance sheet, which list sets forth the aging of
such Accounts Receivable.

balance sheet or interim balance sheet, consists of a quality and quantity
usable and salable in the ordinary course of business, except for obsolete items
and items of below standard quality, all of which have been written off or
written down to net realizable value in the balance sheet or interim balance
sheet or on the accounting records of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the
Closing Date, as the case may be. All inventories not written off have been
priced at the lower of cost or market on the last in, first out basis. The
quantities of each item of inventory (whether raw materials, work-in-process, or
finished goods) are not excessive, but are reasonable in the present
circumstances of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
(jj) Returns and
Complaints. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received any customer complaints concerning its respective products and/or
services, nor has it had any of its products returned by a purchaser thereof,
other than minor, nonrecurring warranty problems.

regulations and rules issued pursuant to that act or any successor
law.

failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. There is no pending, completed or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened, action (including any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or
administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation)
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning letter or other
communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity, which (i) contests

not been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale,
license or use in the United States of any product proposed to be developed,

ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company
or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1,
of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY 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.
20
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to 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 the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be
subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the
pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such
pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’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, if the Securities are subject to registration
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including
the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such
security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such
Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Warrant
Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company
shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent of the
Company promptly after the Effective Date if required by the transfer agent of
the Company to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or
any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective
registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such
Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144, without the requirement for the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares
shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Business Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the transfer agent of
the Company of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case
may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Business Day, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate
representing such shares 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 of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Securities
subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent
of the Company to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s
prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such
Purchaser.
21
(d) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that such
Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the
restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in
this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.
4.2 Integration. The
Company shall not 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 Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities to the Purchasers for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder
approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.3 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City
time) on the Business Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a press

hereby. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other
in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any
such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the
prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any
Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any
press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld
or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the
disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of
such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or
include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any
regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such
Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with
(i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement
and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages
thereto) with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required
by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide
the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(b).
4.4 Shareholder Rights
Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or,
with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an
“Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar
anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company,
or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan
or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction
Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the
Purchasers.
22
4.5 Non-Public
Information. If at any time the Company becomes subject to the
reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants and agrees that
neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any
Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such

and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms
that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.

officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other
Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles
notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a
“Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a
result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser
in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any
stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
(unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations,
warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or
understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any
violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct
by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct
or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the
Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its
own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any
Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent
that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company
in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in
the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any
material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such
Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate
counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under
this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage
or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser
Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
23
4.8 Reservation of Common
Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company
shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant
Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.9 Equal Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of
any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction
Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to
the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision
constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and
negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to
treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the
Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.10 Short Sales and
Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser, severally and not
jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate
acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will execute any
Short Sales during the period commencing with the Discussion Time and ending at
such time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly
announced as described in Section 4.3. Each Purchaser, severally and not
jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the
Company as described in Section 4.3, such Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the
information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure
Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any
representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short
Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in
Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers
manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers
have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set
forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the
Securities covered by this Agreement.
24
4.11 Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy
thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at
the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the
United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request
of any Purchaser.
4.12 Capital
Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date,
the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or
reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares.
4.13 Delivery of Securities After
Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered,
the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within 3
Business Days of the Closing Date.
4.14 Most Favored Nation
Provision. From the date hereof until the date that is the 90 days
from the Closing Date, if the Company effects a upon any Subsequent Financing,
each Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to (a) exchange all or some of
the Shares (but not the Warrants) then held by such Purchaser for any securities
or units issued in a Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 for $1.00 basis based on
the outstanding Shares, along with any liquidated damages and other amounts
owing thereon, and the effective price at which such securities are to be sold
in such Subsequent Financing, or (b) to have any particular provisions of the
Subsequent Financing legal documents apply to the Transaction Documents ex post
facto; provided, however, that this
Section 4.14 shall not apply with respect to (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) an
underwritten public offering of Common Stock. The Company shall provide each
Purchaser with notice of any such Subsequent Financing.

obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other
parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before April 30, 2009;
provided, however, that no such
termination will affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach by the
other party (or parties).
5.2 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the
exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties

schedules.

5.4 Amendments;
Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and the Purchasers holding at least 55% of the Shares then
outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement
of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor
shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.5 Headings. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
5.6 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights
under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers
any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with
respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction
Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.7 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8.
5.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the
City of Los Angeles for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in
connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of
process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to
enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party
in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
26
5.9 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Securities for the applicable statute of
limitations.
5.10 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.11 Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.12 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction
Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option
under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser 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; provided, however, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be
required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to with any such rescinded
exercise notice.
5.13 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 (in the case of mutilation), 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. The
applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity)
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
27
5.14 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive
and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, 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, 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.
5.16 Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and
negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.17 Liquidated
Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial
liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid
partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the
fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled.
28
5.18 Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not
be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19 Construction. The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
5.20 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE
PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY
WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
