purpose that the Company's reports filed under the 1934 Act are being
incorporated into an effective registration statement filed by the Company
under the 1933 Act).
O. ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING BUYERS' PURCHASE OF SECURITIES. The
-------------------------------------------------------
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyers are acting solely in the
capacity of arm's length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that no
Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any statement made by any Buyer or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and
is merely incidental to the Buyers' purchase of the Securities. The Company
further represents to each Buyer that the Company's decision to enter into
this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
Company and its representatives.
P. NO INTEGRATED OFFERING. Neither the Company, nor any of its
----------------------
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers
to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration
under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyers. The
issuance of the Securities to the Buyers will not be integrated with any
other issuance of the Company's securities (past, current or future) for
purposes of any shareholder approval provisions applicable to the Company
or its securities.
Q. NO BROKERS. The Company has taken no action which would give rise
----------
to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or
similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
R. PERMITS; COMPLIANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in
-------------------
possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits,
easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and
orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on
its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the "COMPANY
PERMITS"), and there is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the
Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits,
except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2003, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible
conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices
relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts,
defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
S. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.
---------------------
(I) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are, to the
Company's knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present
violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any
material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances,
conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may
give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending
or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened in connection with any of
the foregoing. The term "ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS" means all federal, state,
local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human
health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air,
surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata),
including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges,
releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants,
or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, "HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS") into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all
authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders,
permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved
thereunder.
(II) Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed
of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are
contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or
used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous
Materials were released on or about any real property previously
owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during
the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company's
or any of its Subsidiaries' business.
(III) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 3(S), there are no
underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased
or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not in
compliance with applicable law.
T. TITLE TO PROPERTY. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and
-----------------
marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable
title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in
SCHEDULE 3(T) or such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its
Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable
leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
U. INSURANCE. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by
---------
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be
prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its
Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has
any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business
at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
provided to Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to
directors' and officers' liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage,
and commercial general liability coverage.
V. INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and each of its
----------------------------
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient,
in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.
W. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES. Neither the Company, nor any of its
-------------------------
Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his
actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful
payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from
corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe,
rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
X. SOLVENCY. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions
--------
contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair
---
market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable
liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and
currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably
conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to
take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time
to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company
did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its
most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis
upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its
current fiscal year.
Y. NO INVESTMENT COMPANY. The Company is not, and upon the issuance
---------------------
and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be an
"investment company" required to be registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (an "INVESTMENT COMPANY"). The Company is not controlled by an
Investment Company.
Z. BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE COMPANY. If the
-------------------------------------------------------
Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this
Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyers
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Buyer the Standard
Liquidated Damages Amount in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the
option of the Company, until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to
pay the Standard Liquidated Damages Amounts in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
4. COVENANTS.
---------
A. BEST EFFORTS. The parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy
------------
timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of this
Agreement.
B. FORM D; BLUE SKY LAWS. The Company agrees to file a Form D with
---------------------
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof to each Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall,
on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the
Buyers at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under
applicable securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States
(or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide
evidence of any such action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the
Closing Date.
C. REPORTING STATUS; ELIGIBILITY TO USE FORM X-0, XX-0 OR FORM S-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's Common Stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934
Act. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the requirements for
the use of Form S-3 (or if the Company is not eligible for the use of Form
S-3 as of the Filing Date (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), the Company may use the form of registration for which it is
eligible at that time) for registration of the sale by the Buyer of the
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company
shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to
the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer
required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination. The Company
further agrees to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with
the SEC in a timely manner so as to become eligible, and thereafter to
maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form S-3. The Company shall issue
a press release describing the materials terms of the transaction
contemplated hereby as soon as practicable following the Closing Date but
in no event more than two (2) business days of the Closing Date, which
press release shall be subject to prior review by the Buyers. The Company
agrees that such press release shall not disclose the name of the Buyers
unless expressly consented to in writing by the Buyers or unless required
by applicable law or regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
D. USE OF PROCEEDS. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale
---------------
of the Notes and the Warrants in the manner set forth in SCHEDULE 4(D)
attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not, directly or
indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or investment in any other
corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection
with its currently existing direct or indirect Subsidiaries)
E. FUTURE OFFERINGS. Subject to the exceptions described below, the
----------------
Company will not, without the prior written consent of a
majority-in-interest of the Buyers, not to be unreasonably withheld,
negotiate or contract with any party to obtain additional equity financing
(including debt financing with an equity component) that involves (A) the
issuance of Common Stock at a discount to the market price of the Common
Stock on the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any
warrants or options to acquire Common Stock issued in connection therewith)
or (B) the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an
indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock or (C) the issuance of
warrants during the period (the "LOCK-UP PERIOD") beginning on the Closing
Date and ending on the later of (i) two hundred seventy (270) days from the
Closing Date and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the
Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is
declared effective (plus any days in which sales cannot be made
thereunder). In addition, subject to the exceptions described below, the
Company will not conduct any equity financing (including debt with an
equity component) ("FUTURE OFFERINGS") during the period beginning on the
Closing Date and ending two (2) years after the end of the Lock-up Period
unless it shall have first delivered to each Buyer, at least twenty (20)
business days prior to the closing of such Future Offering, written notice
describing the proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions
thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in
connection therewith, and providing each Buyer an option during the fifteen
(15) day period following delivery of such notice to purchase its pro rata
share (based on the ratio that the aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased by it hereunder bears to the aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased hereunder) of the securities being offered in the Future Offering
on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations
referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively
referred to as the "CAPITAL RAISING LIMITATIONS"). In the event the terms
and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect
after delivery of the notice to the Buyers concerning the proposed Future
Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to each Buyer describing
the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and each
Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the fifteen (15) day period
following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share of the
securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by such proposed
Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence shall apply to
successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future
Offering. The Capital Raising Limitations shall not apply to any
transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of securities as
consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in
connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary
purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the
disposition or acquisition of a business, product or license by the
Company. The Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to the
issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's
options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the
date hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the
issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or
restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.
F. EXPENSES. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyers for
--------
expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
agreements to be executed in connection herewith ("Documents"), including,
without limitation, attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses, transfer
agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any
amendments or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of
provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of
counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions
contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these
fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for
reimbursement to the Buyers for all fees and expenses immediately upon
written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer If
the Company fails to reimburse the Buyer in full within three (3) business
days of the written notice or submission of invoice by the Buyer, the
Company shall pay interest on the total amount of fees to be reimbursed at
a rate of 15% per annum.
G. FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The Company agrees to promptly notify the
---------------------
Buyers of the filing or issuance of each of the following reports to each
Buyer until such Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells all of the Securities:
its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and
any Current Reports on Form 8-K; all press releases issued by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries; and contemporaneously with the making available
or giving to the shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or
other information the Company makes available or gives to such
shareholders.
H. AUTHORIZATION AND RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company shall at all
---------------------------------------
times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full
conversion or exercise of the outstanding Notes and Warrants and issuance
of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based
on the Conversion Price of the Notes or Exercise Price of the Warrants in
effect from time to time) and as otherwise required by the Notes. The
Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for
issuance upon conversion of Notes and exercise of the Warrants without the
consent of each Buyer. The Company shall at all times maintain the number
of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance at an amount ("RESERVED
AMOUNT") equal to no less than two (2) times the number that is then
actually issuable upon full conversion of the Notes and Additional Notes
and upon exercise of the Warrants and the Additional Warrants (based on the
Conversion Price of the Notes or the Exercise Price of the Warrants in
effect from time to time). If at any time the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized and reserved for issuance ("AUTHORIZED AND RESERVED
SHARES") is below the Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all
corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of
shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of
shareholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company's
obligations under this Section 4(h), in the case of an insufficient number
of authorized shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such
authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the
Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to
ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the
Reserved Amount. If the Company fails to obtain such shareholder approval
within thirty (30) days following the date on which the number of Reserved
Amount exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares, the Company shall pay to
the Borrower the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares
of Common Stock at the option of the Buyer. If the Buyer elects to be paid
the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment. In
order to ensure that the Company has authorized a sufficient amount of
shares to meet the Reserved Amount at all times, the Company must deliver
to the Buyer at the end of every month a list detailing (1) the current
amount of shares authorized by the Company and reserved for the Buyer; and
(2) amount of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon
exercise of the Warrants and as payment of interest accrued on the Notes
for one year. If the Company fails to provide such list within five (5)
business days of the end of each month, the Company shall pay the Standard
Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the
option of the Buyer, until the list is delivered. If the Buyer elects to be
paid the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
I. LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
-------
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange
or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock
are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as
any Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the
Notes or exercise of the Warrants. The Company will obtain and, so long as
any Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of
its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the
Nasdaq National Market ("NASDAQ"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NASDAQ
SMALLCAP"), the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American Stock
Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in all respects with the Company's
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to each Buyer copies of any
notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation
systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued
eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation
systems.
J. CORPORATE EXISTENCE. So long as a Buyer beneficially owns any Notes
-------------------
or Warrants, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall
not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except in the
event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of
the Company's assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such
transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and under the
agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is
a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on
the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
K. NO INTEGRATION. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of
--------------
any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would
require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder
under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated
with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any
stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.
L. SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT. The Company and the Buyers agree that, upon
---------------------
the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be filed
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), the
Buyers shall purchase additional notes ("ADDITIONAL NOTES") in the
aggregate principal amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) and
additional warrants (the "ADDITIONAL WARRANTS") to purchase an aggregate of
200,000 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), with the closing of such purchase to
occur within five (5) days of the Effective Date; provided, however, that
-------- -------
the obligation of each Buyer to purchase the Additional Notes and the
Additional Warrants is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the
closing of such purchase and sale, of the conditions set forth in Section
7; and, provided, further, that there shall not have been a Material
-------- -------
Adverse Effect as of such effective date. The terms of the Additional Notes
and the Additional Warrants shall be identical to the terms of the Notes
and Warrants, as the case may be, to be issued on the Closing Date. The
Common Stock underlying the Additional Notes and the Additional Warrants
shall be Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) and shall be included in the Registration Statement to be filed
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
M. KEY MAN INSURANCE. The Company shall use its best efforts to
-----------------
obtain, on or before five (5) business days from the date hereof, key man
life insurance on all of the Company's officers and division heads.
N. BREACH OF COVENANTS. If the Company breaches any of the covenants
-------------------
set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies
available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall pay
to the Buyers, within five (5) business days of notification by the Buyers
of such breach (unless such breach is cured) the Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Company, until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay the
Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such shares shall be issued
at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue irrevocable
---------------------------
instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of each Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in
such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon
conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms
thereof (the "IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS"). Prior to registration
of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on
which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date
that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company
warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to
give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer's obligations and
agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If a
Buyer provides the Company with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and
scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a
public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration
under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer
provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule
144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or
more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such
denominations as specified by such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Buyers, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated
hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a
breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of
this Section, that the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of
----------------------------------------------
the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and Warrants to a Buyer at the
Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of each of
the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for the

the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be
performed, satisfied or complied with by the applicable Buyer at or prior

transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2(f), any Buyer may
assign its rights hereunder to any person that purchases Securities in a
private transaction from a Buyer or to any of its "affiliates," as that
term is defined under the 1934 Act, without the consent of the Company.
H. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the
-------------------------
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be
enforced by, any other person.
I. SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of the Company and the
--------
agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 3, 4, 5 and 8 shall survive
the closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation
conducted by or on behalf of the Buyers. The Company agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each of the Buyers and all their officers, directors,
employees and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related
to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4
hereof or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement or the
Registration Rights Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they
are incurred.
J. PUBLICITY. The Company and each of the Buyers shall have the right
---------
to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press
releases, SEC, OTCBB or NASD filings, or any other public statements with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that
the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of each of the
Buyers, to make any press release or SEC, OTCBB (or other applicable
trading market) or NASD filings with respect to such transactions as is
required by applicable law and regulations (although each of the Buyers
shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release
prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given
an opportunity to comment thereon).
K. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
------------------
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and
deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents,
as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
L. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be
----------------------
deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual
intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any
party.
M. REMEDIES. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
--------
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyers by
vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.
Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach
of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions
of this Agreement, that the Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all
other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the
penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining,
preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
