“Potential Material Event” means any of the following: (i) the possession by Xxxxxxxx of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxx that disclosure of such information in a Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of Xxxxxxxx; or (ii) any material engagement or activity by Xxxxxxxx which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxx, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxx that the applicable Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information; provided that, (i) Xxxxxxxx shall not use such right with respect to the Registration Statement for more than an aggregate of 90 days in any 12-month period; and (ii) the number of days Xxxxxxxx is required to keep the Registration Statement effective shall be extended by the number of days for which the Company shall have used such right.
g.
The Subscriber will cooperate with Xxxxxxxx in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Xxxxxxxx (which shall include completing the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C, and all information regarding the Subscriber and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing its obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering. Any delay or delays caused by the Subscriber, or by any other purchaser of securities of Xxxxxxxx having registration rights similar to those contained herein, by failure to cooperate as required hereunder shall not constitute a breach or default of Xxxxxxxx under this Agreement.
h.
Whenever Xxxxxxxx is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the U.S. Securities Act, Xxxxxxxx shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to the assistance and cooperation as reasonably required of the Subscriber with respect to each Registration Statement:
(i)
furnish to the Subscriber such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and such other documents as the Subscriber may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Subscriber;
(ii)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Subscriber shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section (b) above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Subscriber to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities owned by the Subscriber;
(iii)
cause the Registrable Securities to be quoted or listed on each service on which the shares of common stock of Xxxxxxxx is then quoted or listed;
Subscription Agreement - 14 of 19
(iv)
notify the Subscriber, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the U.S. Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the 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 the light of the circumstances then existing, and Xxxxxxxx shall prepare and file a curative amendment as promptly as commercially reasonable;
(v)
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify the Subscriber, (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, rescission or removal of such stop order or other suspension; and
(vi)
provide a transfer agent and registrar for all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all such securities.
i.
With respect to any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 4, the Subscriber hereby covenants with Xxxxxxxx (i) not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied and (ii) to notify Xxxxxxxx promptly upon disposition of all of the Registrable Securities.

Subscription Agreement - 15 of 19
corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to the Subscriber prior to the pertinent sale or sales by such Subscriber and not delivered by the Subscriber to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s).
b.
The Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxxxxx from and against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which Xxxxxxxx may become subject (under the U.S. Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon (i) the failure of the Subscriber or any of its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities; or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Xxxxxxxx by an instrument duly executed by or on behalf of such Subscriber and stated to be specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable in any such case for (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission in any prospectus or Registration Statement which statement has been corrected, in writing, by such Subscriber and delivered to Xxxxxxxx before the sale from which such loss occurred; or (ii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered to the Subscriber prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Subscriber and delivered by the Subscriber to the individual or entity to which it made such sale(s) prior to such sale(s), and the Subscriber, severally and not jointly, will, as incurred, reimburse Xxxxxxxx for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to indemnify Xxxxxxxx in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of the Registrable Securities, to which such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or action proceeding in respect thereof) relates.
c.
Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 5, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, make it inappropriate under applicable laws or codes of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that the indemnifying person shall not be obligated to assume the expenses of more than one counsel to represent all indemnified persons. In the event of such separate counsel, such counsel shall agree to reasonably cooperate.
d.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses
Subscription Agreement - 16 of 19
or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Xxxxxxxx on the one hand and the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Xxxxxxxx on the one hand or the Subscriber, or its agents, affiliates or persons acting on its behalf, on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Xxxxxxxx and the Subscriber agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In any event, the Subscriber shall not be liable or required to contribute to Xxxxxxxx in the aggregate for any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Subscriber from the sale of its Registrable Securities.

The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Class G Warrant such number of its authorized but unissued Common Shares or other securities of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Class G Warrant as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Class G Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights.
(b)
The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
B-4
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 of this Class G Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Common Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Class G Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares upon the exercise of this Class G Warrant, and (iii) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Class G Warrant.
(c)
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the current Exercise Price below the then par value, if any, of the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Class G Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Shares at such adjusted Exercise Price.
(d)
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Common Shares for which this Class G Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e)
The Company covenants that during the period the Class G Warrant is outstanding, it will use its best efforts to comply with any and all reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(f)
The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary (i) to maintain a Principal Market for its Common Shares in the United States and (ii) to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Principal Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed.
(g)
The Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence and all licenses and permits that are material to the proper conduct of its business.
The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Class G Warrant.
6.
Exchange, Transfer or Assignment of Class G Warrant; Registration.
(a)
Each taker and holder of this Class G Warrant Certificate by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that the registered holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Class G Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby.
(b)
The Holder agrees that it will not transfer, hypothecate, sell, assign, pledge or encumber any Class G Warrants or Warrant Shares unless such securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws or such transfer is affected pursuant to an available exemption from registration.
7.
Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Exercise Price in effect at any time and the number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of the Class G Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as follows:
(a)
In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares in Common Shares, (ii) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding Common Shares into a greater
B-5
number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such dividend, distribution, subdivision, reclassification or combination. For example, if the Company declares a 2 for 1 stock split and the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such event was 200,000, the number of Warrant Shares immediately after such event would be 400,000. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b)
Whenever the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to Subsection (a) above, the Exercise Price shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to such event by the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such event and dividing the product so obtained by the number of Warrant Shares, as adjusted. If an Exercise Price has not yet been established, an adjustment thereof shall be deferred until one is established pursuant to the terms of this Class G Warrant.
(c)
No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five percent (5%) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection (c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment required to be made hereunder. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
(d)
Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number of Shares issuable upon exercise of each Class G Warrant to be mailed to the Holder. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 7, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
(e)
In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection (a) above, the Holder of this Class G Warrant thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company, other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Class G Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in Subsection (a), above.
(f)
Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Class G Warrant, Class G Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in this Class G Warrant.
(g)
In case at any time or from time to time conditions arise by reasons of action taken by the Company, which in the reasonable opinion of its Board of Directors, are not adequately covered by the provisions of Section 7 hereof, and which might materially and adversely affect the exercise rights of the Holder hereof, the Board of Directors shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants, which may be the firm regularly retained by the Company, which will give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the standards established in the other provisions of Section 7 necessary with respect to the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Common Shares for which the Class G Warrant is exercisable, so as to preserve, without dilution, the exercise rights of the Holder. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Board of Directors shall forthwith make the adjustments described therein.
8.
Loss or Destruction of Class G Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Class G Warrant Certificate, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Class G Warrant Certificate, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Class G Warrant Certificate of like tenor and date.
9.

Any notice, demand or delivery authorized by this Class G Warrant Certificate shall be in writing and shall be given to the Holder or the Company, as the case may be, at its address (or telecopier number) set forth below, or such other address (or telecopier number) as shall have been furnished to the party giving or making such

Any provision of this Class G Warrant Certificate may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Holder and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
13.
Company Reorganization. In the event of any sale of substantially all the assets of the Company or any reorganization, reclassification, merger or consolidation of the Company where the Company is not the surviving entity, then as a condition to the Company entering into such transaction, the entity acquiring such assets or the surviving entity, as the case may be, shall agree to assume the Company's obligations hereunder.
