warrants to Stockholder as follows:
5.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Buyer is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently
conducted by it.
5.2 Authority. The execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement
and of each agreement, document and instrument to be executed and delivered
by it pursuant hereto, the compliance by Buyer with the provisions hereof
and thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and
-15-
thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of Buyer, and Buyer has all necessary corporate power
with respect thereto. This Agreement is, and when executed and delivered by
Buyer each other agreement to be executed and delivered by it pursuant
hereto will be, the valid and binding obligation of Buyer in accordance
with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery by Buyer of this
Agreement or of any of the aforementioned other agreements, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor the
compliance by Buyer with the provisions hereof and thereof, will (nor with
the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would) conflict with or
result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
or By-laws of Buyer, or in the breach of any material agreement to which
Buyer is a party or otherwise bound.
5.3 Securities and Exchange Commission Filings; Financial Statements.
Buyer has filed all forms, reports, statements and documents required to be
filed with the SEC since April 14, 1997, (collectively, the "SEC Reports"),
each of which has complied in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), as applicable, each as in effect on the date so filed.
Buyer has delivered to the Stockholder, in the form filed with the SEC
(including any amendments thereto), (A) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB
for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 (the "April 30 10-QSB") and (B) its
Prospectus dated April 14, 1997. None of such forms, reports or documents
(including but not limited to any financial statements or schedules
included or incorporated by reference therein) filed by the Buyer, when
filed (except to the extent revised or superseded by a subsequent filing
with the SEC) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements included in such forms were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and fairly
present the financial position of Buyer as at the dates thereof and its
results of operations for the periods indicated, except that any unaudited
financial statements are subject to normal reoccurring adjustments which
might be required as a result of year-end audits.
5.4 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Buyer consists of
15,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,317 shares of Preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share, of which, as of the date hereof, 7,847,455 shares
of Common Stock and 317 shares of preferred stock are issued and
outstanding. All issued shares of Buyer's Common Stock have been duly and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in
the SEC Reports or the other documents specifically set forth in Schedule
5.4, there are no outstanding options, warrants, rights, puts, calls,
commitments, conversion rights,
-16-
plans or other agreements of any character to which Buyer is a party or
otherwise bound which provide for the acquisition, disposition or issuance
of any issued but not outstanding, outstanding, or authorized and unissued
shares of Buyer Common Stock or preferred stock. There is no personal
liability, and there are no preemptive or similar rights, attached to
Buyer's Common Stock.
5.5 Absence of Changes. Since January 31, 1997, there have not been
(i) any material adverse changes in the condition (financial or otherwise),
assets, liabilities, business, prospects, or results of operations of Buyer
(including, without limitation, any such adverse change resulting from
damage, destruction or other casualty loss, whether or not covered by
insurance), (ii) any declarations, setting asides or payments of any
dividend or other distribution or payments in respect of the capital stock
of Buyer, or (iii) any changes in the accounting principles or methods
which are utilized by Buyer.
5.6 Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there are no
material suits or actions, or administrative, arbitration or other
proceedings or governmental investigations, pending or, to the best of the
knowledge of Buyer threatened, against or relating to Buyer. Except as set
forth in SEC Reports there are no material judgments, orders, stipulations,
injunctions, decrees or awards in effect which relate to Buyer, Buyer's
business or any of its assets, the effect of which is (A) to limit,
restrict, regulate, enjoin or prohibit any business practice in any area,
or the acquisition of any properties, assets or businesses, or (B)
otherwise to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
otherwise), assets, liabilities, business, prospects or results of
operations of Buyer.
5.7 Information as to Buyer. None of the representations or warranties
made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any agreement executed and delivered
by or on behalf of it pursuant hereto are false or misleading with respect
to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein contained not misleading.
6. Representations and Warranties as to Stock Consideration. Buyer
represents and warrants to the Stockholder that the Stock Consideration, when
issued, will be, (i) duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, (ii) delivered hereunder free and clear of any security
interests, pledges, mortgages, claims, liens and encumbrances of any kind
whatsoever except that the Stock Consideration will be "restricted securities"
as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Commission and will be subject to restrictions on transfers pursuant to such
rules and regulations and State laws, and (iii) issued in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws.
-17-
7. Indemnification.
7.1 Indemnification by Sellers and Stockholder. Sellers and
Stockholder hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Buyer
harmless from and against any and all losses, obligations, deficiencies,
liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the amount of any settlement entered into pursuant hereto, and
all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the
investigation, prosecution or defense of any matter indemnified pursuant
hereto) which Buyer may sustain, suffer or incur and which arise out of,
are caused by, relate to, or result or occur from or in connection with (i)
the Retained Liabilities, (ii) the noncompliance with any applicable bulk
transfer laws of any jurisdiction, or (iii) the breach by Sellers or
Stockholder of any representation, warranty or covenant made by it in this
Agreement or in any agreement or instrument executed and delivered pursuant
hereto.
7.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold Stockholder and its affiliates, other than Sellers, harmless from and
against any and all losses, obligations, deficiencies, liabilities, claims,
damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the amount of
any settlement entered into pursuant hereto, and all reasonable legal and
other expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, prosecutor
defense of any matter indemnified pursuant hereto), which any of them may
sustain, suffer or incur and which arise out of, are caused by, relate to,
or result or occur from or in connection with (i) the Assumed Liabilities,
(ii) the breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty or covenant made
by it in this Agreement or in any agreement or instrument executed and
delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) Seller's Liabilities.
7.3 Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against
any party or parties hereto and the party or parties against whom said
claim is made intends to seek indemnification with respect thereto under
this paragraph 7, the party or parties seeking such indemnification shall
promptly notify the indemnifying party or parties, in writing, of such
claim; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the rights of the indemnified party or parties hereunder unless such
failure materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party or parties.
The indemnifying party or parties shall have ten days after said notice is
given to elect, by written notice given to the indemnified party or
parties, to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of their own
choosing (subject to the consent of the indemnified party or parties, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and at their sole risk and
expense, the good faith settlement or defense of such claim, and the
indemnified party or parties shall cooperate with the indemnifying parties
in connection therewith; provided: (i) in the case of Sellers and/or
Stockholder as the indemnifying party or parties, it or they shall not
thereby
-18-
permit to exist any lien, encumbrance or other adverse change upon any of
the Purchased Assets, Buyers or the Business, and (ii) the indemnified
party or parties shall be entitled to participate in such settlement or
defense through counsel chosen by the indemnified party or parties,
provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the
indemnified party or parties. So long as the indemnifying party or parties
are contesting any such claim in good faith, the indemnified party or
parties shall not pay or settle any such claim; provided, however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have
the right to pay or settle any such claim at any time, provided that in
such event they shall waive any right of indemnification therefor by the
indemnifying party or parties. If the indemnifying parties do not make a
timely election to undertake the good faith defense or settlement of the
claim as aforesaid, or if the indemnifying parties fail to proceed with the
good faith defense or settlement of the matter after making such election,
then, in either such event, the indemnified party or parties shall have the
right to contest, settle or compromise the claim at their exclusive
discretion, at the risk and expense of the indemnifying parties to the full
extent set forth in subparagraph 7.1 or 7.2 hereof, as the case may be.
7.4 Limitations Upon Indemnification. Buyer shall not have any right
to indemnification under this paragraph 7 or otherwise to recover damages
against Stockholder based upon the breach of a representation or warranty
by Sellers or Stockholder unless and until the amount of its claims is in
excess of $100,000.00 (the "Retained Indemnification") in the aggregate.
The obligation of Stockholder to indemnify or pay damages to Buyer for any
breach of representation or warranty shall apply only to the excess of the
aggregate amount of all such claims over $100,000.00. Buyer shall not be
entitled to assert as a defense, counterclaim or set-off against any
portion of the Purchase Price any claim for indemnification or damages, it
being the intention of the parties that Buyer's obligation to pay the
Purchase Price and perform under the Promissory Notes and the Registration
Rights Agreement be absolute and unconditional and that any claim for
indemnification or damages should be asserted by Buyer in a separate
action.
8. Miscellaneous Provisions.
8.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Stockholder, on the one hand, shall pay its and Sellers' costs and expenses
