Plan (the “Target
Stock Option Plan”),
including the number of shares of The Target Common Stock subject to each
such

each
such option. On the Closing Date, each outstanding option to purchase shares
of
the Target Common Stock (an “Target
Stock Option”)
under
the Target Stock Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed
and
shall constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as
were
applicable under such Target Stock Option, the same number of shares of the
Company Common Stock as the holder of such Target Stock Option would have
been
entitled to receive pursuant to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
had such holder exercised such option (including any unvested portion thereof)
in full (disregarding any limitation on exercisability thereof) immediately
before the Closing Date (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at
a
price per share (rounded upward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the
aggregate exercise price for the shares of Target Common Stock purchasable
pursuant to such Target Stock Option immediately before the Effective Date
divided by (z) the number of full shares of the Company Common Stock deemed
purchasable pursuant to such Target Stock Option in accordance with the
foregoing.
(b) Except
as
otherwise provided in the Target Stock Option Plan, the documents governing
the
Target Stock Options, and offer letters and other agreements affecting such
Target Stock Options, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall
not
result in the termination or acceleration of any outstanding Target Stock
Options under the Target Stock Option Plan that are so assumed by the Company.
It is the intention of the parties that the Target Stock Options so assumed
by
the Company qualify following the Closing Date as incentive stock options
as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent such Target
Stock Options qualified as incentive stock options before the Closing Date.
As
promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) business
days after receipt of all option documentation it requires relating to the
outstanding Target Stock Options, the Company will issue to each person who,

Stock Option under the Target Stock Option Plan that is to be assumed by
the
Company hereunder, a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such
Target
Stock Option by the Company.
(c) The
Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance
a
sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock for delivery under The Target
Stock Options assumed in accordance with this Section 1.4. The Board of
Directors of the Target shall, as of the Closing Date, take all necessary
actions, pursuant to and in accordance with the Target Stock Option Plan
and the
instruments evidencing the Target Stock Options, to provide for the assumption
of Target Stock Options by the Company in accordance with this Section 1.4,
and
to provide that no consent of the holders of the Target Stock Options is
required in connection with such assumption.
(d) On
the
Effective Date, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Target Common
Stock (a “Target
Warrant”)
shall
be assumed and shall constitute a warrant to acquire, on the same terms and
conditions as were applicable under such Target Warrant, the same number
of
shares of Common Stock as the holder of such Target Warrant would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement
had such holder exercised such warrant (including any unvested portion thereof)
in full (disregarding any limitation on exercisability thereof) immediately
before the Closing Date (rounded downward to the nearest whole number), at
a
price per share (rounded upward to the nearest whole cent) equal to (y) the
aggregate exercise price for the shares of Target Common Stock purchasable
pursuant to such Target Warrant immediately before the Closing Date divided
by
(z) the number of full shares of Common Stock deemed purchasable pursuant
to
such Target Warrant in accordance with the foregoing.
(e) Except
as
otherwise provided in the Target Warrants and other agreements affecting
such
Target Warrants, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall not
result
in the termination or acceleration of any outstanding Target Warrants that
are
so assumed by the Company. As promptly as reasonably practicable and in any
event within thirty (30) business days after receipt of all documentation
it
requires relating to the outstanding Target Warrants, the Company will issue
to
each person who, immediately prior to the Closing Date, is a holder of an
outstanding Target Warrant under that is to be assumed by the Company hereunder,
a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Target Warrant by
the
Company.
(f) The
Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance
a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for delivery under Target Warrants
assumed in accordance with this Section 1.4. The Board of Directors of the
Target shall, as of the Closing Date, take all necessary actions, pursuant
to
the Target Warrants, to provide for the assumption of Target Warrants by
the
Company in accordance with this Section 1.4, and to provide that no consent
of
the holders of the Target Warrants is required in connection with such
assumption.

the
Closing takes place is referred to herein as the “Closing

2. Representations,
Warranties and Covenants of the Selling Stockholders.
Each
Selling Stockholder severally represents, warrants and covenants to and with
the
Company with respect to himself, as follows:
2.1. Title
to Shares.
Each
Selling Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Target
Shares
held by such Selling Stockholder, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances,
equities, assessments and claims, and that there are no warrants, options,
subscriptions, calls, or other similar rights of any kind for the issuance
or
purchase of any of the Target Shares or other securities of the Target held
by
such Selling Stockholder. Upon delivery of the Target Shares by each Selling
Stockholder and payment of the Company Shares in full by the Company pursuant
to
this Agreement, each Selling Stockholder will transfer to the Company valid
legal title to the Target Shares held by such Selling Stockholder, free and
clear of all restrictions, liens, encumbrances, equities, assessments and
claims
(other than any restrictions, liens, encumbrances, equities, assessments
or
claims as may arise from or as a result of (i) restrictions under applicable
Federal and state securities laws, and (ii) any act or omission of the
Company).
2.2. Authority
Relative to this Agreement.
Each
Selling Stockholder has all requisite individual or corporate power and
authority, as the case may be, to enter into and to carry out all of the
terms
of this Agreement and all other documents executed and delivered in connection
herewith (collectively, the “Documents”).
All
individual or corporate action, as the case may be, on the part of each Selling
Stockholder necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance
of the Documents by such Selling Stockholder has been taken and no further
authorization on the part of such Selling Stockholder is required to consummate
the transactions provided for in the Documents. When executed and delivered
by
each Selling Stockholder, the Documents shall constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of such Selling Stockholder, enforceable in accordance
with
their respective terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws affecting enforcement of
creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity.
2.3. Securities
Matters.
(a) Each
Selling Stockholder understands that (i) the Company Shares have not been
registered or qualified under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities
Act”)
or any
state securities or “blue sky” laws, on the ground that the sale provided for in
this Agreement and the issuance of the securities hereunder is exempt from
registration and qualification under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act,
and
(ii) the Company’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated on the each Selling
Stockholder’s representations set forth herein.
(b) Each
Selling Stockholder acknowledges that an investment in the Company involves
an
extremely
high degree of risk,
lack of
liquidity and substantial restrictions on transferability and that such Selling
Stockholder may lose his, her or its entire investment in the Company
Shares.
(c) The
Company has made available to each Selling Stockholder or the advisors of
any
such Selling Stockholder the opportunity to obtain information to evaluate
the
merits and risks of the investment in the Company Shares, and each Selling
Stockholder has received all information requested from the Company. Each
Selling Stockholder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Company Shares and the business, properties, plans, prospects, and financial
condition of the Company and to obtain additional information as such Selling
Stockholder has deemed appropriate for purposes of investing in the Company
Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Each
Selling Stockholder, personally or through advisors, has expertise in evaluating
and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies
in a
similar stage of development to the Company and has sufficient knowledge
and
experience in financial and business matters to assess the relative merits
and
risks of an investment in the Company. In connection with the purchase of
the
Company Shares, each Selling Stockholder has relied solely upon independent
investigations made by such Selling Stockholder and has consulted such Selling
Stockholder’s own investment advisors, counsel and accountants. Each Selling
Stockholder has adequate means of providing for current needs and personal
contingencies, has no need for liquidity, and can sustain a complete loss
of the
investment in the Company Shares.
(e) The
Company Shares which the Company is to issue hereunder will be acquired for
each
Selling Stockholder’s own account, for investment purposes, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution
of
the Company Shares in violation of applicable securities laws.
(f) Each
Selling Stockholder understands that no federal or state agency has passed
upon
the Company Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness
of
the investment in the Company Shares.
(g) Each
Selling Stockholder is an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder
acknowledges that the Company Shares may be purchased only by persons who
come
within the definition of an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in
Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(h) No
Selling Stockholder has received any general solicitation or general advertising
concerning the Company Shares, nor is any Selling Stockholder aware of any
such
solicitation or advertising.
(i) Each
Selling Stockholder understands that the Company Shares will be characterized
as
“restricted” securities under federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being
acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such
laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without
registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
Each Selling Stockholder agrees that such Selling Stockholder will not sell
all
or any portion of the Company Shares except pursuant to registration under
the
Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration under
the
Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder understands and acknowledges that
all
certificates representing the Company Shares shall bear the following legend
or
a legend of similar import and that the Company shall refuse to transfer
the
Company Shares except in accordance with such restrictions:
“THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER CERTAIN STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE
OF (1) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (2) AN OPINION
OF
COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED SALE OR
TRANSFER.”
2.4. Full
Disclosure.
No
representations or warranties made by any Selling Stockholder in this Agreement,
in any of the exhibits or schedules attached to this Agreement, or in the
schedules attached hereto, or in any other statements furnished or to be
furnished by the such Selling Stockholder to the Company pursuant to this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state

by the Target and the Selling Stockholders and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not violate the articles
of
incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents of the Target or any of
the
Subsidiaries, and, except where
any
such conflict, breach, default or violation would not have a material adverse
effect on the Target and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, the execution
and
delivery of this Agreement by the Target and the Selling Stockholders and
the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not

conflict with or result in any breach of (or create in any party the right
to

governmental authorizations required by federal, state or local laws for
the
operation of the business of the Target and the Subsidiaries in each
jurisdiction in which the Target or any of the Subsidiaries is currently

the
Target in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices
which
are not otherwise prohibited by, or in violation of, or which will not result

in generally accepted accounting principles and concurred with by the Target’s
independent certified public accountants.
3.10. Real
Property.
(a) Schedule
3.10
contains
a list of all real property owned by or leased to the Target or any of the
Subsidiaries. Neither the Target nor any Selling Stockholder has received
any
notification that there is any violation of any law, ordinance or regulation

materially detract or interfere with the present use or value of such real
property, and (viii) mortgages, liens, encumbrances, claims or restrictions,

value of such real property.

time, and they respectively agree to exert their best efforts to that end,
including without limitation: (i) the removal or satisfaction, if
possible,
of any objections to the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated
herein; and (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummation
of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
6.2. Further
Assurances; Cooperation; Notification.
(a) Each
party hereto will, at and after the Closing, execute and deliver such
instruments and take such other actions as the other party or parties, as
the
case may be, may reasonably require in order to carry out the intent of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time
after
the Closing, at the request of the Company and without further consideration,
the Target and the Selling Stockholders will execute and deliver such
instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and
take
such action as the Company may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in
order
to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to the Company, and to confirm
the Company’s title to, the Target Shares.
(b) At
all
times from the date hereof until the Closing, each party will promptly notify
the other in writing of the occurrence of any event which it reasonably believes
will or may result in a failure by such party to satisfy the conditions and
covenants specified in Articles 5 and 6 hereof.
6.3. Public
Announcements.
On or
after the Closing Date, the Company and the Target shall issue a press release
(the “Press
Release”)
in a
form and substance acceptable to both parties disclosing the execution of
this
Agreement. Other than the Press Release, none of the parties hereto will
make
any public announcement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein
without the prior consent of the other parties, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that any of the parties
hereto may at any time make any announcements which are required by applicable
law so long as the party so required to make an announcement promptly upon
learning of such requirement notifies the other parties of such requirement
and
discusses with the other parties in good faith the exact proposed wording
of any
such announcement.
6.4. Tax
Matters; Cooperation
and Records Retention.
The
Target and the Company will (i) each provide the other with such assistance
as
may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation
of
any Tax Return, audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial
or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, (ii) each
retain
and provide the other with any records or other information which may be
relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination,
and (iii) each provide the other with any final determination of such audit
or
examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required
to be
shown on any Tax Return of the other for any period. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Target and the Company will retain, until
the
applicable statutes of limitations (including all extensions) have expired,
copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records or
information which may be relevant to such Tax Returns for all Tax periods
or
portions thereof ending on or before the Closing and will not destroy or
otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party
with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.
7. Survival
and Indemnification.
7.1. Survival.
The
representations and warranties of each party hereto shall survive the execution
of and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and the same shall be effective for a period
of
two (2) years from the Closing Date and no longer. The covenants and agreements
contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
the
same shall be effective in accordance with their respective terms.
7.2. Mutual
Indemnification.
Subject
to the limitations set forth in this Article 7, each party each agrees to
indemnify and save harmless each other party from and against any and all
losses, liabilities, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
fees
and disbursements of counsel), claims, liens, damages or other obligations
whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”)
that
may actually and reasonably be payable by virtue of or which may actually
and
reasonably result from the inaccuracy of any of their respective representations
or the breach of any of their respective warranties, covenants or agreements
made in this Agreement or in any certificate, schedule or other instrument
delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no claim for
indemnity may be made hereunder if the facts giving rise to such Claim were
in
writing and known to the party seeking indemnification hereunder, such facts
constituted a breach of the conditions to closing of the party seeking
indemnification and the party seeking indemnification elected in any event
to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition,
to the
extent that applicable insurance coverage is available and paid to the party
seeking indemnification hereunder with respect to the Claim for which
indemnification is being sought, such amounts of insurance actually paid
shall
be deducted from the amount of the Claim for which indemnification may be
sought
hereunder and the indemnified party may recover only the amount of the loss
actually suffered by the party to be indemnified. To the extent that such
insurance payment is received subsequent to payment by the indemnifying party
hereunder, the indemnified party shall reimburse the indemnifying party,
up to
the amount previously paid by the indemnifying party, for the amount of such
insurance payment.
7.3. Procedures
for Indemnification.
Each
party agrees to give each other party prompt written notice of any event
or
assertion of which it has knowledge concerning any such Claim and
as to
which it may request indemnification hereunder, and each party will cooperate
with the other in determining the validity of any such Claim. The indemnifying
party hereunder shall have the right to participate in, or control the defense
of (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party), any such
Claim for which indemnification has been requested hereunder. Each party
agrees
not to settle or compromise any such Claim without the prior written consent
of
each other party. The giving of notice to the indemnifying party as provided
herein and the opportunity to participate or control the defense of the Claim
for which indemnification is sought shall be a prerequisite to any obligation
of
the indemnifying party to indemnify the indemnified party hereunder. Following
indemnification as provided hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party against all other parties
with
respect to the Claim for which indemnification has been made.
7.4. Limitations
on Indemnification.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof, no claim for
indemnification by any party hereunder may be made unless the amount of the
Claim for which indemnification is sought exceeds $25,000.
The
maximum aggregate liability of the Target and the Selling Stockholders to
the
Company for all claims arising under the Documents shall equal the product
of
(i) the number of Company Shares and (b) the average of the per share closing
price of the Common Stock for the five-day period preceding the day on which
the
liability becomes payable. In no event will the aggregate amount payable
by the
Company pursuant to this Article 7 exceed $300,000.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Cumulative
Remedies.
Any
person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement will be entitled
to enforce such rights specifically, to recover damages by reason of any
breach
of any provision of this Agreement, and to exercise all other rights granted
by
law, which rights may be exercised cumulatively and not
alternatively.
8.2. Successors
and Assigns.
Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement and any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder may not be assigned by any of the parties
hereto. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on
behalf
of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether
so
expressed or not.
8.3. Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in
such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law,
such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition
or
invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the other
documents.
8.4. Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, any one of which need
not
contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts
when
taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.
8.5. Entire
Agreement.
This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties
with
respect to the subject matter thereof, and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous agreements and understandings.
8.6. Expenses
and Attorney Fees.
The
Company, Target and the Selling Stockholders shall each pay all of their
respective legal and due diligence expenses in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limiting the generality
of
the foregoing, legal and accounting fees.
8.7. Waiver
of Conditions.
At any
time or times during the term hereof, the Company may waive fulfillment of
any
one or more of the conditions to its obligations in whole or in part, and
Target
or the Selling Stockholders may waive fulfillment of any one or more of the
foregoing conditions to their obligation, in whole or in part, by delivering
to
the other party a written waiver or waivers of fulfillment thereof to the
extent
specified in such written waiver or waivers. Any such waiver shall be validly
and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to
any
party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such
party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision
of
this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor
in
any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the
right
of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver
of
any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any
other
or subsequent breach.
8.8. Law
Governing.
This
Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and governed
and
enforced in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada.
8.9 Disputed
Matters.
Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party hereby agrees that any
suit,
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be
brought in either the United States District Court for the District of Nevada
or
a Superior Court of the State of Nevada in the County of Xxxxx, and the parties
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of such
courts. The parties hereby agree to waive trial by jury in any such suit,
action
or proceeding. The parties irrevocably waive and agree not to raise any
objection any of them might now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such
suit, action or proceeding in any such court including, without limitation,
any
objection that the place where such court is located is an inconvenient forum.
Each party agrees that any judgment or order against that party in any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and
binding upon that party and consents to any such judgment or order being
recognized and enforced in the courts of its jurisdiction of incorporation
or
organization or any other courts, by registration or entry of such judgment
or
order, by a suit, action or proceeding upon such judgment or order, or any
other
means available for enforcement of judgments or orders.
8.10. Attorneys’
Fees.
If any
action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms
of
this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’
fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such
party may be entitled.
8.11. Delivery
by Fax.
Delivery
of an executed counterpart of the Agreement or any exhibit attached hereto
by
facsimile transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an executed
hard copy of the same. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this
Agreement or any exhibit attached hereto by facsimile transmission shall
also
deliver an executed hard copy of the same, but the failure by such party
to
deliver such executed hard copy shall not affect the validity, enforceability
or
binding nature effect of this Agreement or such exhibit.
8.12. Gender
Neutral Pronouns.
All
pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine,
feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the referenced
person, persons, entity or entities may require.
