If termination is so effected, this Agreement shall be deemed void ab initio and of no further force or effect, no sale or assignment of the Claim shall have occurred, and Purchaser shall dismiss the Action.
5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Creditor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Purchaser as follows as of the Effective Date:
(a) The Claim is a bona fide outstanding claim against Company, and is an enforceable obligation arising in the ordinary course of business, for goods and/or services rendered to Company by Creditor in good faith. The Claim is currently due and owing and is payable in full. Creditor did not enter into the transaction giving rise to the Claim with the intention of entering into a transaction under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act or in contemplation of any sale or distribution of Company securities.
(b) The Claim Amount is the total amount due to Creditor with respect to the Claim, net of applicable discounts, allowances or other deductions to which Company is entitled. The documents attached hereto are true, correct and complete copies of all documentation underlying the Claim. The Claim is not subject to dispute and Company is unconditionally obligated to pay the full Claim Amount without defense, counterclaim or offset. To the knowledge of Creditor, the Company’s failure to pay is due solely and exclusively to financial inability.
(c) Creditor is the sole owner of the Claim, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of third parties. Creditor has not previously sold, transferred, encumbered or released any part of the Claim. There has been no modification, compromise, forbearance, or waiver entered into or given with respect to the Claim. There is no action based on the Claim that is currently pending in any court or other legal venue and no judgments based upon the Claim have been previously entered in any legal proceeding.
(d) There are no taxes due, payable or withholdable as an incident of Creditor’s provision of services; no taxes will be due, payable or withholdable as a result of settlement of the Claim; and Creditor will at all times promptly withhold (if applicable) and pay when due any federal, state, local and/or foreign taxes due as a result of payment of the Purchase Price.
(e) Creditor has all necessary power and authority to (i) execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) sell, convey, transfer and assign the Claim to Purchaser. Creditor has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that it is able to protect its own interests and evaluate the risks and benefits of entering into this Agreement. Creditor acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to conduct its own due diligence and consult with its own legal counsel, and tax, financial and other advisors, and that Creditor is not relying in that regard on Purchaser. Creditor acknowledges that Purchaser is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever, including, without limitation, about the Company.
(f) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Creditor has been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Creditor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Creditor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Creditor, enforceable against Creditor in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or the availability of equitable remedies.
(g) Creditor is not and within the past ninety (90) days has not been directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries in control, controlled by, or under common control with, the Company and is not an “affiliate” of the Company as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(h) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Creditor and the performance of all of its obligations hereunder (i) do not and will not violate, conflict with, breach, or constitute a default under, any material contract, agreement or commitment binding upon such Creditor, and (ii) do not and will not conflict with or violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court or other government authority having jurisdiction over such Creditor or the Claim.
2
(i) There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Creditor, threatened, against or affecting Creditor or any of its assets before or by any court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency, or regulatory authority that adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of, or that could have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on this Agreement or the Claim.
(j) Creditor is not, directly or indirectly, providing any consideration to or investing in any manner in, and will not at any time in the future provide any consideration or investment to, the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or any other person for entering into this Agreement or selling the Claim.
(k) Creditor is not, directly or indirectly, receiving any consideration from or being compensated in any manner by, and will not at any time in the future accept any consideration or compensation from, the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or any other person except Purchaser for entering into this Agreement or selling the Claim.
6. Cooperation. Creditor will furnish Purchaser with all documentation and evidence supporting the Claim, and reasonably cooperate in providing any other information and taking any other action that Purchaser deems necessary or appropriate to prosecute the action to collect the Claim. Upon Purchaser’s reasonable request, Creditor shall duly execute and deliver, or shall cause to be duly executed and delivered, to Purchaser such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of Purchaser to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
7. Fees and Expenses. Creditor shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Creditor understands that Purchaser shall not be liable for any commissions, selling expenses, orders, purchases, contracts, taxes, withholding, or obligations of any kind resulting from any of Creditor’s transactions or arising out of settlement of the Claim. Creditor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser and its affiliates harmless with respect to the foregoing and all other obligations of Creditor incident to this Agreement.
8. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to its choice of law principles. The Parties agree that all actions and proceedings arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement or any ancillary agreement or any other related obligations shall be litigated solely and exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, and that such courts are convenient forums. Each Party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such actions or proceedings.
9. Limitation of Damages. Each of the Parties hereby waives any right which it may have to claim or recover any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Purchaser shall have the right, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, to determine which rights, liens, security interests or remedies Purchaser may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action and incur any costs or expenses with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Purchaser’s rights hereunder. Purchaser shall have no liability hereunder for any delay in or failure to obtain Court Approval, or for any other causes beyond Purchaser’s control. Any liability of Purchaser for any default hereunder shall be limited to a return of the Claim.

No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a continuing or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
