Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue

interests of other shareholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive
equity of the Company.

Subscribers have been asked to agree, nor has any Subscriber agreed, to desist
from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or

Securities for any specified term; (ii) that past or future open market or
other
transactions by any Subscriber, including Short Sales, and specifically
including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before

Covenants
of the Company.
The
Company covenants and agrees with the Subscribers as follows:
(a) Stop
Orders.
The
Company will advise the Subscribers, within two hours after the Company receives
notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission or any
other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or

The
Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Warrant Shares upon each
national securities exchange, or automated quotation system upon which they

shall maintain such listing so long as any Warrants are outstanding. The Company
will maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange,
Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market System, Bulletin Board, or New
York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal
trading exchange or market for the Common Stock (the “Principal
Market”)),
and
will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable.
The Company will provide the Subscribers copies of all notices it receives
notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common
Stock
from any Principal Market. As of the date of this Agreement and the Closing
Date, the Bulletin Board is and will be the Principal Market.
(c) Market
Regulations.
The
Company shall notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state
authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the
Subscribers and promptly provide copies thereof to Subscriber.
(d) Reporting
Requirements.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the sooner of (i) two (2) years after

(v)
cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or
12(g)
of the 1934 Act, (x) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the 1934 Act, (y) comply with all reporting requirements
that

Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the 1934 Act, as applicable, and (z) comply with
all
requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this
Agreement. The Company will use its best efforts not to take any action or
file
any document (whether or not permitted by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the
rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate
or
suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until two (2)
years
after the Closing Date. Until the earlier of the resale of the Warrant Shares
by
each Subscriber or two (2) years after the Warrants have been exercised, the
Company will use its best efforts to continue the listing or quotation of the
Common Stock on the Principal Market or other market with the reasonable consent
of Subscribers holding a majority of the Warrants and Warrant Shares, and will
comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market. The Company

Date. For so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will not prepay
any
financing related debt obligations, nor redeem any equity instruments of the
Company without the express written consent of Subscribers.

Prior
to the Closing Date, the Company undertakes to reserve, pro rata,
on
behalf of each holder of Warrant, from its authorized but unissued common stock,
a number of common shares equal to the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants. Failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant
to
this Section 9(f) for three (3) consecutive business days or ten (10) days
in
the aggregate shall be a material default of the Company’s obligations under
this Agreement.
(g) Taxes.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the sooner of (i) two (2) years after
the
Closing Date, or (ii) until all the Warrant Shares have been resold or
transferred by all the Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement or
pursuant to Rule 144, without regard to volume limitations, the Company will
promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and
payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies
imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided,
however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if
the
validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate
reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will
pay
all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement
of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security
therefore.

keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially
sound
and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other
risks
customarily insured against by companies in the Company’s line of business, in
amounts sufficient to prevent the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not
in
any event less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value of the
property insured; and the Company will maintain, with financially sound and
reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and risks and liability
to
persons and property to the extent and in the manner customary for companies
in
similar businesses similarly situated and to the extent available on
commercially reasonable terms.

maintain in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises
and all licenses and other rights to use intellectual property owned or
possessed by it and reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its
business.

to
volume limitations, the Company will keep its properties in good repair, working
order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time
make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and
improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each
provision of all leases to which it is a party or under which it occupies

information. The Company understands and confirms that each Subscriber shall
be
relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company. In any event, the Company will offer to the Subscriber an

9.2.
Injunction
- Posting of Bond.
In the
event a Subscriber shall elect to exercise the Warrant in whole or in part,
the
Company may not refuse exercise based on any claim that such Subscriber or
any
one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court,
on notice, restraining and or enjoining exercise of all or part of said Warrant
shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted
a
surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of 130% of the
aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares which are subject to the
injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s
favor.
9.3.
Buy-In.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, if the Company fails
to deliver to the Subscriber such shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant
on
or before the Delivery Date (as defined in the Warrant) and if after nine (9)
business days after the exercise date of the Warrant the Subscriber or a broker
on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise)
shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber
of the Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such
exercise (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate exercise
price
for which such exercise was not timely honored, together with interest thereon
at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest
thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty). For example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common
Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect
to
an attempted exercise of $10,000 of Warrant exercise price, the Company shall
be
required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
9.4.
Seniority.
Except
as otherwise provided for herein, and as specifically provided for under the
SVI
Acquisition Transaction, until the Notes are fully satisfied, the Company shall
not grant nor allow any security interest to be taken in the assets of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company; nor issue any debt, equity or other
instrument which would give the holder thereof directly or indirectly, a right
in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, superior or
equal
or pari passu to any right of the Subscriber to such assets. The parties hereby
acknowledge and agree to permit the second lien on the assets of the SVI Hotel
Corporation created under the SVI Acquisition Transaction, as further provided
for under that certain Subordination Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G.
9.5.
Mandatory
Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.
In the
event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Warrant Shares, (ii) the
Company fails to timely deliver Warrant Shares on a Delivery Date, as defined
in
the Warrant, (iii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined
in the Note or in this Agreement), and any of the foregoing continues for more
than thirty (30) business days, (iv) a Change in Control (as defined below),
or
(v) of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then at the
Subscriber’s election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business
days after request by the Subscriber (“Calculation
Period”),
a sum
of money equal to multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the
Note
designated by the Subscriber by 120%, together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon (“Mandatory
Redemption Payment”).
Upon
receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal
and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. For purposes of
this
Section 9.5, “Change
in Control”
shall
mean (i) the Company no longer having a class of shares publicly traded or
listed on a Principal Market, (ii) the Company becoming a Subsidiary of another
entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of
reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), or (iii) the sale, lease or
transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or
Subsidiaries.

9.6.

Securities shall not be redeemable or mandatorily convertible except as
described in the Note and Warrants.
10.
Broker.
The
Company on the one hand, and each Subscriber (for himself only) on the other
hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from
any
and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or finder’s
fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the
indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. The Company
represents that there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions,
or
similar payments in connection with the Offering except that the Due Diligence
Shares will be issued to the Subscribers.

(d) The
procedures set forth in Section 13.6 shall apply to the indemnification set
forth in Sections 12(a) and 12(b) above.
16
13.1.
Registration
Rights.
The
Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the
Securities, which is to expressly include the Due Diligence Shares.
(i) On
one
occasion, for a period commencing one hundred and fifty-one (151) days after
the
Closing Date, but not later than two (2) years after the Closing Date, upon
a
written request therefore from any record holder or holders of more than 50%
of
the Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the
Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
under the 1933 Act registering the Registrable Securities, as defined in Section
13.1(iv) hereof, which are the subject of such request for unrestricted public
resale by the holder thereof. For purposes of Sections 13.1(i) and 13.1(ii),
Registrable Securities shall not include Securities which are (A) registered
for
resale in an effective registration statement, (B) included for registration
in
a pending registration statement, or (C) which have been issued without further
transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
1933 Act. 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 ten (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 13.1(i).
(ii) If
the
Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933
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 Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an
effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least fifteen
(15) 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 ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice
by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously
registered, 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”
or
“Sellers”).
In
the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 13.1(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 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 foregoing
provisions, or Section 13.4 hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer
a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 13.1(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 13.1(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 and the Company actually does file such other
registration statement, such written request shall be deemed to have been given
pursuant to Section 13.1(ii) rather than Section 13.1(i), and the rights of
the
holders of Registrable Securities covered by such written request shall be
governed by Section 13.1(ii).
17
(iv)
The
Company shall file with the Commission a Form SB-2 registration statement (the
“Registration
Statement”)
(or
such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable
Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act no later than 01
December 2006 (the
“Filing
Date”),
and
cause to be declared effective not
later
than 15 April 2007 (the
“Effective
Date”).
The
Company will register not less than a number of shares of common stock in the
aforedescribed registration statement that is equal to 100%
of
the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement upon exercise of the
Warrants and the Due Diligence Shares (the “Registrable
Securities”).
The
Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the
benefit of each Warrant holder, pro rata,
and not
issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than the Warrant holders. The
Registration Statement will immediately be amended or additional registration
statements will be immediately filed by the Company as necessary to register
additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common
Stock
included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. Except with
the written consent of the Subscriber or as set forth on Schedule 13.1 hereto,
no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be
included in the Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration
Event if at any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective by the Commission (“Actual
Effective Date”)
the
Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Subscribers
fewer than 100%
of
the Registrable Securities.
(v) Except
for a registration statement filed on behalf of the Subscribers pursuant to
this
Agreement, or in connection with the SVI Acquisition Transaction or as otherwise
expressly permitted under this Agreement, the Company will not file with the
Commission or with state regulatory authorities, any registration statements
including but not limited to Forms S-8, or amend any already filed registration
statement to increase the amount of Common Stock registered therein, or reduce
the price of which such Common Stock is registered therein without the consent
of the Subscribers until the Notes are no longer outstanding.
13.2.
Registration
Procedures.
If and
whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 13.1(i), 13.1(ii)
or 13.1(iv) to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under
the
1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject
to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement required by Section 13, with respect to
such
securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated
thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the holders of
the
Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment
and notify Subscribers (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by
Subscribers) and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (by telecopier and by email
to
xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx)
on or
before the first business day thereafter that the Company receives notice that
(i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the Registration
Statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective
(failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 13.2(a) shall
be a
material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined
in the Notes
and
a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 13.4 of this
Agreement);
(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 until such registration
statement has been effective for a period of two (2) years, and comply with
the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance
with
the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration
statement for such period;
18
(c) furnish
to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, 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 or make them electronically available;
(d) use
its
commercially
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws
of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing,
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) if
applicable, 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) notify
the Subscribers within two hours of the Company’s becoming aware that a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 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 or which
becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending
the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable
Securities;
(g) provided
same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the
1934
Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers, 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, attorney, accountant or agent in connection
with such registration statement; and
(h) provide
to the Sellers copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto
five
business days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission.
13.3.
Provision
of Documents.
In
connection with each registration described in this Section 13, each Seller
will
furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters
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.
19
13.4.
Non-Registration
Events.
The
Company and the Subscribers agree that the Sellers will suffer damages if the
Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date and not declared
effective by the Commission by the Effective Date, and any registration
statement required under Section 13.1(i) or 13.1(ii) is not filed within 60
days
after written request and declared effective by the Commission within 120 days
after such request, and maintained in the manner and within the time periods
contemplated by Section 13 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain
the
extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration
Statement is not filed on or before the Filing Date, (B) is not declared
effective on or before the Effective Date, (C) due to the action or inaction
of
the Company the Registration Statement is not declared effective within three
(3) business days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written
or
oral communication from the Commission that the Registration Statement will
not
be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (D) if the
registration statement described in Sections 13.1(i) or 13.1(ii) is not filed
within 60 days after such written request, or is not declared effective within
120 days after such written request, or (E) any registration statement described
in Sections 13.1(i), 13.1(ii) or 13.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but
shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded within fifteen
(15) business days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement
or for a period of time which shall exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate
per
year (defined as every rolling period of 365 consecutive days commencing on
the
Actual Effective Date (each such event referred to in clauses A through E of
this Section 13.4 is referred to herein as a “Non-Registration
Event”),
then
the Company shall deliver to the holder of Registrable Securities, as
Liquidated
Damages,
an
amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser
pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal
and accrued interest of the outstanding Notes owned of record by such holder
which are subject to such Non-Registration Event on the first day of each thirty
(30) day or shorter period for which Liquidated Damages are calculable. The
Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash. The Liquidated Damages must
be
paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or
shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event
a
Registration Statement is filed by the Filing Date but is withdrawn prior to
being declared effective by the Commission, then such Registration Statement
will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated
accordingly. All
oral
or written comments received from the Commission relating to the Registration
Statement must be satisfactorily responded to within
ten (10) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.
Failure
to
timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for which
Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders
of
Notes at the same rate set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be liable to the Subscriber under this Section 13.4 for (i)
any events or delays occurring as a consequence of the acts or omissions of
the
Subscribers contrary to the obligations undertaken by Subscribers in this
Agreement; or, (ii) by virtue of the application of Section 15(j), below.
Liquidated Damages will not accrue nor be payable pursuant to this Section
13.4
nor will a Non-Registration Event be deemed to have occurred for times during
which Registrable Securities are transferable by the holder of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding any
other
provision contained herein, the
maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under this Agreement
shall be 24.9% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant
to
this Agreement
13.5.
Expenses.
All
expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 13, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if
required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants
for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable 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, and fees
of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration
Expenses.”
All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities are called “Selling
Expenses”.
The
Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration
statement under Section 13. Selling Expenses in connection with each
registration statement under Section 13 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.
13.6.
Indemnification
and Contribution.
20
(a) In
the
event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 13, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law,
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 1933 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 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 13, 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
in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions
of
Section 13.6(c) 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 shall not be liable
to
the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon
an
untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the
Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by
the
Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation
of
the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages
arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement
or
alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) 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,
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 1933
Act
pursuant to Section 13, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 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 1933 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 1933 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 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 13, 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 net proceeds actually received
by
the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement.
21
(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 13.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 13.6(c), except
and only 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 13.6(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,
as a group, 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 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling
person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section
13.6 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 13.6 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may
be
required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in
circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section
13.6;
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 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, (y) the Seller will not
be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of
all
such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z)
no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of
Section 13(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
13.7. Delivery
of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within
four (4) business days (such fourth business day being the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date”)
after
the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Warrant
Shares have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under
the
1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements,
or
the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been
satisfied, and (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares
of
Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule
144,
customary representation letters of the Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker
regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its
expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the
Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an
appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery
of
shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in
Section 4
above,
reissuable pursuant to any effective and current Registration Statement
described in Section 13 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the
1933
Act (the “Unlegended
Shares”);
and
(z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the
submitted Warrant Shares certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address
specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer
or
otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
22
(b) In
lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if
the
Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long
as
the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not
obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon,
the
Company must cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended
Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime Broker with DTC through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made
on or
before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 13 hereof later than two business days after the Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As
compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber
for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after
the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price (as defined in the
Warrants) of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during
any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required
by this Section 13.7 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber
or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option,
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Warrant Shares subject
to such default at a price per share equal to 120% of the Purchase Price of
such
Warrant Shares (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
(d) In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails
to
deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this
Agreement, within six (6) business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date and the Subscriber or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which
the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase
price
of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares
together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount
and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases
shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock
delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall
be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000,
plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) In
the
event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described
in
Section 13.7 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 13.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended
Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or
for
any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from
a
court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended
Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and
obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request or with the Company’s
assistance, and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such
Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price
of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction
or
temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which
shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment
in
Subscriber’s favor.
23
14.
(a)
Right
of First Refusal.
For so
long as any amount remains outstanding on the Notes or until the Registration
Statement has been effective for 365 days, whichever is longer, the Subscribers
shall be given not less than seven (7) business days prior written notice of
any
proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or debt
obligations, except in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in
connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase
of
substantially all of the securities or assets of corporation or other entity,
(ii)
the
Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements
and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the
purpose of raising capital which holders of such securities or debt are not
at
any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common
Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant
to
stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans duly adopted by a majority
of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a
majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established
for
such purpose, (iv) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or
exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued hereunder and/or other
securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such
securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase
the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise, exchange or
conversion price of such securities, (v) up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock
or
Common Stock equivalents (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock
splits, recapitalizations and the like), in the aggregate, in any 12 month
period, issuable to service providers of the Company (with no registration
rights of any kind, including but not limited to S-8 registrations, and (vi)
as
a result of the exercise of Warrants which are granted or issued pursuant to
this Agreement or that have been issued prior to the Closing Date, the issuance
of which has been disclosed in a Report filed not less than five (5) days prior
to the Closing Date (collectively the foregoing are “Excepted
Issuances”).
The
Subscribers who exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 14(a) shall
have
the right during the seven (7) business days following receipt of the notice
to
purchase such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance
with
the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale in the same proportion
to each other as their purchase of Notes in the Offering. In the event such
terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, the Subscribers
shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right
during the seven (7) business days following the notice of modification to
exercise such right. Payment for such purchase by the Subscribers may be made
by
tender of the Note and all sums due under the Note.
(b) Favored
Nations Provision.
Other
than in connection with the Excepted Issuances, if at any time Warrants are
outstanding, the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common stock
or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock (or
modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity
at
a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be
less
than the Warrant exercise price, without the consent of each Subscriber holding
Notes, Warrants, or Warrant Shares, then the Company shall issue, for each
such
occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each Subscriber so that the
average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issued to the
Subscriber (of only the Warrant Shares still owned by the Subscriber) is equal
to such other lower price per share and the Warrant exercise price shall
automatically be adjusted to such other lower price. The delivery to the
Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than
the
closing date of the transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue
additional shares of Common Stock. The Subscriber is granted the registration
rights described in Section 13 hereof in relation to such additional shares
of
Common Stock except that the Filing Date and Effective Date vis-à-vis such
additional common shares shall be, respectively, the thirtieth (30th) and
sixtieth (60th) date after the closing date giving rise to the requirement
to
issue the additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and
adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the
Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock
or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in
the
issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the
agreement to or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right
or
option and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common
Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance
is at
a price lower than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect
upon
such issuance. The rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 12 are
in
addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement,
any
Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in
connection herewith.
24
(c) Maximum
Exercise of Rights.
In the
event the exercise of the rights described in Sections 14(a) and 14(b)
would
or
could result in the issuance of an amount of common stock of the Company that
would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated
in
the manner described in Section 10 of the Warrant, then the issuance of such
additional shares of common stock of the Company to such Subscriber will be
deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to
beneficially own such common stock without exceeding the applicable maximum
amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 10 of the
Warrant. The determination of when such common stock may be issued shall be
made
by each Subscriber as to only such Subscriber.
15.

(b) Entire
Agreement; Assignment.
This
Agreement and other documents delivered in connection herewith represent the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may be amended only with the consent of the Subscribers and the
Company. Neither the Company nor the Subscribers have relied on any
representations not contained or referred to in this Agreement and the documents
delivered herewith. No right or obligation of the Company shall be assigned
without prior notice to and the written consent of the Subscribers.
25
(c) Counterparts/Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement,
it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In
the
event that any signature is delivered by fax or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of
the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an
original thereof.
Each of
the parties hereby expressly forever waives any and all rights to raise the
use
of a fax machine or E-Mail to deliver a signature, or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through
the
use of a fax machine or E-Mail, as a defense to the formation of a
contract.
(d) 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. The
parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith 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.
(e) 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 injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement
and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition
to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
Subject to Section 15(d) hereof, each of the Company, Subscriber and any
signator hereto in his personal capacity 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 in New York 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.
(f) Independent
Nature of Subscribers.
The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents. The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Subscriber
to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any
other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements
or
opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties,
liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or
prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other
Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no
Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges
that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by
any
Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited to, the (i)
inclusion of a Subscriber in the Registration Statement and (ii) review by,
and
consent to, such Registration Statement by a Subscriber) shall be deemed to
constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are
in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or
the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company
acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect
and
enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out
of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for
such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of
the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to
the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
26
(g) Consent.
As used
in the Agreement, and in all other Transaction Documents as well, “consent of
the Subscribers” or similar language means the consent of holders of not less
than 70% of the outstanding Note principal owned by Subscribers on the date
consent is requested, which must specifically include the express consent of
Longview so long as any amount is owed to it under the Note issued in its
favor.
(h) Equal
Treatment.
No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to
a
waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents or the
Prior Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and
paid to all the parties to the Transaction Documents and Prior Transaction
Documents.
(i) Force
Majeure.
Neither
party shall be in default or otherwise liable for any delay in or failure of
its
performance under this Agreement if such delay or failure arises solely due
to a
Force Majeure event. As used herein, “Force
Majeure”
shall
mean the following acts or omissions provided that they are beyond the direct
control of the Company or a Subscriber, as applicable: an act of God, an act
of
war, terrorism, natural disaster or prolonged and systematic failure of
communication or electrical services. Force Majeure shall not include any act
or
omission by the Commission or the Trading Market.
(j) Start
Date.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the start date or commencement for any relevant
period of time shall be deemed to be the Closing Date unless expressly provided
to the contrary herein.
(k) Designation
of Director.
The
Xxxxxxxxx Financial Group, Inc. will be allowed to nominate one (1) additional
person to the Company’s Board of Directors meetings for as long as the Notes
remain outstanding. Upon an uncured Event of Default, The Xxxxxxxxx Financial
Group, Inc., by its consent, shall have the right to nominate or replace
directors such that control of the Board of Directors is achieved.
