pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities
Act”)
and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”)
(the
“SEC
Documents”),
and
except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, during the 12 calendar months prior
to
the date hereof, all such SEC Documents have been filed in a timely manner.
CSI

to

all
material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC
Documents, at the time they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to
be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their
respective dates, to the best of CSI’s knowledge during those respective dates,
the financial statements of CSI included in the SEC Documents complied as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States as in effect from time to time
(“GAAP”),
consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (a) as may be
otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (b)
in
the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in
all
material respects the financial condition of CSI as of the respective dates
thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the respective
periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, CSI
has
not received notification from the Commission, the American Stock Exchange
and/or any federal or state securities bureaus that any investigation (informal
or formal), inquiry or claim is pending, threatened or in process against CSI
and/or relating to any of CSI’s securities.
3.6
Governmental
Consents.
No
consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or registration, qualification,
designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or provincial
governmental authority on the part of CSI is required in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. CSI and each
of
its subsidiaries has obtained all federal, state, local and foreign governmental
licenses and permits material to and necessary in the conduct of its business,
such licenses and permits are in full force and effect, no material violations
are or have been recorded in respect of any such licenses or permits, and no
proceeding is pending or threatened to revoke or limit any thereof. There are
no
consents or waivers necessary for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
3.7
Litigation.
Except
as set forth in the SEC Documents, (i) there is no action, suit, proceeding,
or
investigation pending or currently threatened against CSI, and (ii) in CSI’s
reasonable judgment, none of such disclosures are likely to question the
validity of this Agreement, or the right of CSI to enter into such agreements,
or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which
might
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change
in the assets, condition, affairs, or property of CSI, financially or otherwise,
or any change in the current equity ownership of CSI, including, without
limitation, actions pending or to CSI’s knowledge threatened involving the prior
employment of any of CSI’s employees, their use in connection with CSI’s
business of any information or techniques allegedly proprietary to any of their
former employers, or their obligations under any agreements with prior
employers.

3.8
Compliance
with Other Instruments.
CSI is
not in violation or default of any provisions of its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree,
or
contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or, to its knowledge,
of
any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation, license, or
permit applicable to CSI, the violation or default of which would have a
material adverse effect on CSI. The execution, delivery, and performance of
this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or
constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either
a
default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree,
or
material contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge,
or encumbrance upon any assets of CSI.
4. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers.
Each
Purchaser, severally but not jointly, represents and warrants to CSI for himself
but not for any other Purchaser as follows:
4.1 Review
and Inspection.
The
Purchaser is relying on his own analysis regarding CSI’s operations, financial
condition, assets, liabilities and other relevant matters as the Purchaser
deemed necessary or desirable in order to evaluate the merits and risks of
the
prospective investment contemplated herein. The Purchaser acknowledges
that he has not relied upon any information given to the Purchaser, or any
statements made, by CSI or any officers or directors of CSI, except for the
representations and warranties of CSI expressly made herein.
4.2 Purchaser
Due Diligence.
The
Purchaser and his representatives are solely responsible for the Purchaser’s own
“due diligence” investigation of CSI and its management and business and for the
Purchaser’s analysis of the financial future and viability of CSI and
desirability of the terms of this investment. The Purchaser acknowledges that
neither CSI nor any officer or director of CSI is making any representation
or
warranty regarding any financial projections previously given to the Purchaser
or the assumptions underlying such financial projections, as such financial
projections are subject to significant business, economic and other
uncertainties and contingencies. The Purchaser acknowledges that if CSI is
not
able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flows, CSI may have
difficulty meeting its obligations and may not be able to continue to operate
its business, and the Purchaser could lose all of his investment. The Purchaser
has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he
is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and of protecting his interest in
connection therewith.
4.3 Accredited
Investor Status.
Each
Purchaser is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and the Purchaser is able
to
bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms
of
this Agreement, including a complete loss of his investment in the
Shares.
5
4.4 Authority
for Agreement.
The
Purchaser has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform
his
obligations under the Agreement, and the Agreement constitutes the valid and
binding obligations of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium
laws, (ii) other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity, (iii) the
discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought,
and
(iv) as rights to indemnity may be limited by federal or state securities laws
or by public policy..
4.5 Governmental
Consents.
To each
Purchaser’s knowledge, no consent, approval or authorization of or designation,
declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the
Purchaser is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and
performance of the Agreement.
4.6 Taxes.
The
Purchaser has not relied on any statements or representations of CSI or any
of
its agents (other than the representations and warranties set forth herein)
with
respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this
investment and the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to such matters,
the
Purchaser understands that he (and not CSI) shall be responsible for his own
tax
liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
4.7
Restricted
Securities.
The
Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act
or
the laws of any state and may not be sold or transferred, or otherwise disposed
of, without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. In the absence of an
effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom covering the Shares
and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Purchaser
will
sell or transfer, or otherwise dispose of, the Shares to be acquired by him
only
in a manner consistent with his representations and agreements set forth herein,
the terms and conditions set forth in the ancillary agreements and any
applicable federal and state securities laws.
4.8
Legends.
It is
understood that the certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following
legend:
(a)
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE
TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE, FILED AND MADE EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND
SUCH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR, UNLESS REASONABLY REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY,
THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE
STATE
SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
6
(b)
Any
legend required by the Blue Sky laws of any state.
The
legend referred to in clause (a) above shall be removed by CSI from any
certificate at such time as the holder of the securities represented by the
certificate delivers an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to CSI to
the
effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with
any provisions of the Securities Act, or at such time as the holder of such
shares satisfies the requirements of Rule 144(k) or such other substantially
similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act then in effect under the
Securities Act; provided, that CSI has received from the holder a written
representation that (i) such holder is not an affiliate of CSI and has not
been
an affiliate during the preceding three months, (ii) such holder has
beneficially owned the shares represented by the certificate for a period of
at
least two years (or the period of time then required by Rule 144(k) or such

in
effect), and (iii) such holder otherwise satisfies the requirements of Rule
144(k) as then in effect with respect to such shares.

Maintenance

CSI
shall at all times (a) preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its

8.
Indemnity.
CSI
shall, with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
made by it herein indemnify, defend and hold each Purchaser and the Agent (and
their employees, partners, agents, counsel and affiliates) (each, an
“Indemnified
Party”)
harmless from and against all liability, loss or damage, together with all
reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including legal and accounting
fees and expenses), arising from the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any such
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of CSI contained in this
Agreement or the assertion of any claims relating to the foregoing. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall be deemed
to have suffered liability, loss or damage as a result of the untruth,
inaccuracy or breach of any such representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements if such liability, loss or damage shall be suffered by the
Indemnified Party as a result of, or in connection with, such untruth,
inaccuracy or breach or any facts or circumstances constituting such untruth,
inaccuracy or breach. CSI shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Party against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to
which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of
or
are based upon any violations by CSI of the Securities Act or state securities
or "blue sky" laws applicable to CSI relating to action or inaction required
of
CSI in connection with the Securities Act or registration or qualification
under
such state securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse each such
Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by
any
of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action; provided,
however,
that no
indemnification shall be required hereunder for the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any Indemnified Party or material breach by a Purchaser of any
of
the representations and warrants set forth in Section
4
hereof.
In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, CSI will be
entitled to participate in and assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from CSI
to
such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, CSI shall
be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
latter in connection with the defense thereof, provided that if any Indemnified
Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to such Indemnified Party that conflict in any material
respect with those available to CSI, or that such claims or litigation involves
or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity provided
by this Section
8,
CSI
shall reimburse such Indemnified Party and shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified party and CSI shall
reimburse each such Indemnified Party and any individual, partnership, limited
liability company, corporation, joint stock company, trust, estate, joint
venture, association or unincorporated organization, or any other form of
business or professional entity (“Person”) controlling such Indemnified Party
for that portion of the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained
by
the Indemnified Party. CSI shall not make any settlement of any claims
indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the Indemnified
Party or Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any claim

8
with
respect to representations and warranties must be made not later than the end
of
the 12-month period from the date of the Closing.
