9.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following
registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) On one occasion, for a period commencing 180 days after the Closing
Date, but not later than three years after the Closing Date, the Company, upon a
written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50% of
the aggregate of the Company's Shares issued at or about the same time in the
Company's offering of 6,000,000 Company Shares (the Securities and securities
issued or issuable by virtue of ownership or exercise of the Securities, and the
Put Securities defined in Section 10.1(b)(i) hereof, being, the "Registrable
Securities"), shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement under
the Act covering the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such
request, unless such Registrable Securities are the subject of a pending or
effective registration statement. In addition, upon the receipt of such request,
the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders of
the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and
shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it
has received written requests within 10 days after the Company gives such
written notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have
exercised their demand registration right under this Section 9.1(i). As a
condition precedent to the inclusion of Registrable Securities, the holder
thereof shall provide the Company with such information as the Company
reasonably requests. The obligation of the Company under this Section 9.1(i)
shall be limited to one registration statement.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities
under the Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the
account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration
statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the
Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable
Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscriber or Holder
pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at
least 30 days' prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable
Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder,
received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such notice by
the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities, the Company will
cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so
requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration
statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to
permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered
by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the "Seller"). In the event that
any registration pursuant to this Section 9.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part,
an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of
shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be
reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and
the underwriter shall reasonably be
7
of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the
securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the
Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction.
Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions, the Company may withdraw any
registration statement referred to in this Section 9.1 (ii) without thereby
incurring any liability to the Seller. (iii) If, at the time any written request
for registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1 (i), the
Company has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a
registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer
and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company's own account, such
written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 9.1 (ii)
rather than Section 9.1 (i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section 9.1 (ii)
except that the Company or underwriter, if any, may not withdraw such
registration or limit the amount of Registrable Securities included in such
registration.
(iv) The Company shall file with the Commission within 75 days of the
Closing Date (the "Filing Date"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause to be declared effective a Form SB-2 registration statement (or such other
form that it is eligible to use) within two hundred and ten (210) days of the
Closing Date in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and
distribution under the Act. The registration statement described in this
paragraph must be declared effective by the Commission within 210 days of the
Closing Date (as defined herein) ("Effective Date"). The Company will register
not less than one (1) share of common stock in the aforedescribed registration
statement for each Company Share subscribed for and one share of common stock
for each common share issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Registrable
Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of the
Subscriber and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than the
Subscriber. Except as disclosed to the Subscriber in writing, no equity of the
Company other than the Registrable Securities and Put Securities may be included
for registration in such registration statement. Such registration statement
will be promptly amended or additional registration statements will be promptly
filed by the Company as necessary to register additional Company Shares to allow
the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the
Registrable Securities.
9.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and
8
remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby
(determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to the holders of
Registrable Securities copies of all filings;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to
such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as
may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for the period
specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Act with
respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Seller's intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any, such number of
copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request
in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue
sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the case of an underwritten
public offering, the managing underwriter shall reasonably request, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify
generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then
listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under such
registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which
the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such
registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing;
(g) make available for inspection by the Seller, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter,
all publicly available, non- confidential financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available,
non-confidential information reasonably requested by the seller,
9
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
9.3. Provision of Documents.
(a) At the request of the Seller, provided a demand for registration has
been made pursuant to Section 9.1(i) or a request for registration has been made
pursuant to Section 9.1(ii), the Registrable Securities will be included in a
registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 9. In the event of a firm
commitment underwritten public offering in which the Registrable Securities are
so included, the lockup, if any, requested by the managing underwriter may not
exceed ninety (90) days after the effective date thereof.
(b) In connection with each registration hereunder, the Seller will furnish
to the Company in writing such information with respect to itself and the
proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure
compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In connection with
each registration pursuant to Section 9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) covering an underwritten
public offering, the Company and the Seller agree to enter into a written
agreement with the managing underwriter in such form and containing such
provisions as are customary in the securities business for such an arrangement
between such underwriter and companies of the Company's size and investment
stature.
9.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company and the Subscriber agree that the
Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section
9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) above is not filed within 60 days after request by the Holder
and not declared effective by the Commission within 120 days after such request
[or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in reference to the
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section
9.1(iv)], and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated
by Section 9 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement
described in Sections 9.1(i) or 9.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days of such
request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date
that is 120 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form
SB-2 or such other form described in Section 9.1(iv) is not filed on or before
the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the
Effective Date, or within ten days of receipt by the Company of a communication
from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv)
will not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections
9.1(i), 9.1(ii) or 9.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter
cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional
registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which
shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive
calendar days (defined as a
10
period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 9.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then, for so
long as such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay in
cash as Liquidated Damages to each holder of any Registrable Securities an
amount equal to two (2%) percent for each thirty (30) days or part thereof, of
the Purchase Price of the Company Shares as set forth on the signature page
hereto, then owned of record by such holder as of the occurrence of such
Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall
be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available funds.
9.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 9, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public
accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred
in connection with complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of
transfer agents and registrars, fee of one counsel, if any, to represent all the
Sellers, and costs of insurance are called "Registration Expenses". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special
counsel to the Seller, are called "Selling Expenses". The Seller shall pay the
fees of its own additional counsel, if any.
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in connection with
each registration statement under Section 9 shall be borne by the Seller and may
be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold by
the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration
statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
9.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the
Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
Seller, each officer of the Seller, each director of the Seller, each
underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if
any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the Act
pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or
11
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in
any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information
furnished by any such Seller, the underwriter or any such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities
under the Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration
statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who
controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such
officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Act
pursuant to Section 9, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder
in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in
writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of
the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public
offering price of the Registrable Securities sold by the Seller under such
registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all
securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the gross proceeds
12
received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify
the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party other than under this Section 9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 9.6(c) if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by
such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 9.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of
joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) the Seller, or any
controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Section 9.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final
judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of
time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such
indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that
this Section 9.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution
under the Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of
the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this
Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they
may be subject (after
13
contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible
only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering
price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the
public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement,
provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Seller will not be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10.1. Obligation To Purchase.
(a) The Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company up to the additional
shares of Common Stock ("Put Stock") described on the signature page hereof for
up to the aggregate consideration designated on the signature page hereof (the
"Put"). The Put Stock is sometimes referred to as the "Put Securities".
(b) The agreement to purchase the Put Stock is contingent on the following:
(i) The timely filing of the registration statement described in Section
9.1(iv) hereof relating to all the Registrable Securities.
(ii) No material adverse change in the Company's business or business
prospects shall have occurred after the Closing Date. Material adverse change is
defined as any effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or
financial condition of the Company that is material and adverse to the Company
and its subsidiaries and affiliates, taken as a whole, and/or any condition,
circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the
ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under
this Agreement, or any other agreement entered into or to be entered into in
connection herewith, in any material respect.
(iii) The non-occurrence of all of the following:
(1) The Company breaches any material covenant, term or condition of this
Subscription Agreement and such breach continues for a period of seven (7) days
after written notice to the Company from the Subscriber.
(2) Any material representation or warranty of the Company made in this
Subscription Agreement, or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in
writing pursuant thereto shall be false or misleading.
14
(3) The Company shall make an assignment of a substantial part of its
property or business for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to
the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its
property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be
appointed.
(4) Any money judgment, confession of judgment, writ or similar process
shall be entered against the Company or its property or other assets for more
than $50,000, and is not vacated, satisfied, bonded or stayed within 45 days.
(5) Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or
other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief
of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company.
(iv) The execution and delivery to the Subscriber of a certificate signed
by its chief executive officer representing the truth and accuracy of all the
Company's representations and warranties contained in this Subscription
Agreement as of the Put Date, and the Put Closing Date and confirming the
undertakings contained herein, and representing the satisfaction of all
contingencies and conditions required for the exercise of the Put.
(v) The execution by the Company and delivery to the Subscriber of all
documents reasonably necessary to memorialize the rights and obligations of each
of the parties in relation to the Put.
10.2. Exercise of Put.
(a) The Company's right to exercise the Put expires two weeks after the
filing of the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv) of this
Subscription Agreement relating to all the Registrable Securities. In the event
the Company does not exercise the Put in connection with any or all of the Put
Securities, the Subscriber may exercise the Put on the Company's behalf in
connection with the Put Securities described on the signature page hereof, by
written notice to the Company within two weeks after the end of the Put exercise
period. Such notice will be deemed a Put Notice (as defined hereafter) and the
Company will comply with all its obligations described herein.
(b) The Put may be exercised by the Company by the giving to the Subscriber
of a written notice of exercise ("Put Notice") during the exercise period of the
Put in relation to all the subject Put Securities. The date a Put Notice is
given is a Put Date. The Put Notice must be accompanied by the (i) officer's
certificate described in Section 10.1(b) above; and (ii) a copy of the filed
registration statement.
15
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Subscribers, Put Notices must be
given to all Subscribers in proportion to the amounts agreed to be purchased by
all Subscribers undertaking to purchase Put Shares in the $7,800 and $750,000
offerings to which this and other Subscription Agreements relate. The aggregate
amount of all such Put Notices may not exceed $757,800.
(d) Payment by the Subscriber in relation to a Put Notice relating to the
Put must be made within seven (7) days of receipt of a Put Notice relating to
the Put. Payment will be made against delivery to the Subscriber or an escrow
agent to be agreed upon by the Company and Subscriber, of the Put Securities and
items set forth in Section 10.2(b) above.
11. (a) Right of First Refusal. Until 240 days after the effective date of
the Registration Statement described in Section 9.1(iv) hereof, the Subscriber
shall be given not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice of any
proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or debt
obligations. The Subscriber shall have the right during the ten (10) business
days following the notice to agree to purchase an amount of Company Shares in
the same proportion as being purchased in the aggregate offering to which this
Subscription Agreement relates (i.e. $750,000 in the aggregate), of those
securities proposed to be issued and sold, in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in the notice of sale. In the event such terms and
conditions are modified during the notice period, the Subscriber shall be given
prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the original
notice period or for a period of ten (10) business days following the notice of
modification, whichever is longer, to exercise such right. In the event the
right of first refusal described in this Section is exercised by the Subscriber
and the Company thereby receives net proceeds from such exercise, then
commissions and fees will be paid by the Company to the Placement Agents in the
same amounts as specified in the notice of sale.
(b) Offering Restrictions. Except with respect to securities otherwise
disclosed in the Reports or Other Written Information, the Company agrees not to
issue any equity, convertible debt or other securities prior to 120 days after
the Effective Date.
12. Miscellaneous.

effective as if such notice had been received on the first business day after
the holiday.
(b) Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall
take place at the offices of Grushko & Xxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx

date for the Put shall be the date on which Subscriber funds representing the
net amount due the Company from the Put Purchase Price are transmitted to or on
behalf of the Company ("Put Closing Date").
(c) Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement represents the entire
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties. No right or
obligation of either party shall be assigned by that party without prior notice
to and the written consent of the other party.
(d) Conflict. The parties hereto have been advised of a possible conflict
of interest arising from the past and future representation by Grushko & Xxxxxxx
of the Subscriber in other transactions and the current representation by
Grushko & Xxxxxxx of the Company in connection with this Subscription Agreement,
related matters and the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv)
hereof. The Company and Subscriber acknowledge that they have been advised by
Grushko & Xxxxxxx to investigate and consider the potential impact of this
conflict prior to executing this Subscription Agreement and in connection with
the registration statement described in Section 9.1(iv) of this Subscription
Agreement. The parties hereto consent to the representation by Grushko & Xxxxxxx
of the Company in this and other matters and the representation by Grushko &
Xxxxxxx of the Subscribers in other matters, and waive any conflict.
17
(e) Execution. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission,
and in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original.
(f) Law Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the
other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement
and other agreements on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the
jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and
costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement
delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed
inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which
may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.
(g) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and
Subscriber acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injuction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
equity. Subject to Section 13(e) hereof, each of the Company and Subscriber
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court,
that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section
shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(h) Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate
without any further action of either party hereto if the Closing shall not have
occurred by the tenth (10th) business day following the date this Agreement is
accepted by the Subscriber.
