The issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Holders) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Holders as a result of the Holders and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Holders’ ownership of the Securities.

(hh) Solvency. After giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Concurrent Shares and exchange in full of the Debentures for Series B Preferred as provided in Article II, to the Company’s knowledge: (i) the fair value of the Company’s property will be greater than the amount of its liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such value is established and liabilities evaluated for purposes of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code and, in the alternative, for purposes of applicable state law; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the Company’s property will not be less than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (iii) the Company’s assets will not be inadequate, and will not constitute unreasonably small capital, to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by it, and projected capital requirements and capital availability therefor; (iv) the Company will be able to realize upon its property and pay its debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business; and (v) the current cash flow of the Company together with the proceeds it would receive were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. Following the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Concurrent Shares and exchange in full of the Debentures for Series B Preferred as provided in Article II, the Company does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company does not have any knowledge of any facts or circumstances that leads it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the date hereof.

their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Holder’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(a) Organization; Authority. It is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by it of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on its part. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Own Account. The Holder understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. The Holder is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting the Holder’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. The Holder is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Holder does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
(c) Holder Status. At the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exchanges any Debentures or Residual Debentures, or converts any Series B Preferred, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. The Holder is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Experience of the Holder. The Holder, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and
23
financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its continuing investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. The Holder acknowledges that there will be no interest payable on any of the Debentures or Residual Debentures that may be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Other than the transaction contemplated hereunder, the Holder has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Holder, executed any disposition, including Short Sales (but not including the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), in the securities of the Company during the period commencing from the time that the Holder first received a term sheet from the Company or any other Person setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion Time”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Holder that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Holder’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Holder’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

Solely to determine the number of Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares that the Company is required to register pursuant hereto, except as set forth on Schedule 3.2(h), if prior to the date hereof, the Holder has exercised any Warrants or converted any Original Debentures, except as expressly described in writing by or on behalf of the Holder to the Company, the Holder has sold the shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise or conversion, as applicable, and such shares of Common Stock do not need to be registered for resale.

(b) To the extent that at any time after approval of the Stockholder Matters, and for so long as Underlying Shares are potentially issuable, in the event that the Company does not have sufficient authorized Common Stock of the Company to issue all of the potential Underlying Shares, then the Company shall promptly, and no later than 60 days after such occurrence, file a subsequent proxy statement to seek stockholder approval to further increase the number of authorized shares to an amount sufficient to permit compliance with any issuance obligations regarding all of the remaining Underlying Shares not yet converted.
4.2 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, or to the Company or to an affiliate of a Holder or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.2(c), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to it an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Holder under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(b) The Holders agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.2, of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following form:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
25
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UPON DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF SUCH EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OR EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
(c) The Company and STAC acknowledge and agree that a Holder may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Holder may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Holder’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of “selling stockholders” thereunder.
(d) Certificates evidencing the Transaction Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.2(b)): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Transaction Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. In connection with the issuance of such opinion, the Company may request a certificate from the Holder containing customary representations that such Holder has or will meet the applicable requirements, if any, necessary to effect a resale under Rule 144. If all or any portion of any Debenture, Residual Debenture, any shares of Series B Preferred or any portion of a Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares, or if such Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
26
interpretations thereof), then such Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company and STAC agree that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.2(d), it will, no later than five (5) Trading Days following the delivery by a Holder to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Transaction Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such fifth Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of such securities that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. If then applicable, certificates for Transaction Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Holders by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System.
(e) In addition to such Holder’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.2(d), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(f) Each Holder, severally and not jointly with the other Holders, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
4.3 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Holder and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.4 Exchange Act Registration; Furnishing of Information. As long as any Holder owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by a Company with a class of securities registered under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whether or not the
27
Company is otherwise required to do so by law. As long as any Holder owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Holders to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.5 Integration. The Company shall not take any intentional action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities under this Agreement to fail to be entitled to the exemptions from integration afforded by Regulation D under or Section 4(2) of, the Securities Act.
4.6 Conversion and Exercise Procedures.
(a) The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Series B Preferred set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holders in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Series B Preferred. No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Holders to exercise their Warrants or convert their Series B Preferred Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Series B Preferred Shares and shall deliver Underlying Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
(b) Each Holder agrees that notwithstanding the conversion terms set forth in the Debentures, no Holder will exercise any such conversion rights prior to the Second Closing.
4.7 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall issue and file the following, as applicable, by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the respective dates: (a) on the Trading Day following the date hereof, issue a press release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, and by the third Trading Day following the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K; (b) on the Trading Day following the Second Closing Date, issue a press release, and by the third Trading Day following such date file a Current Report on Form 8-K; and (c) on the Trading Day following the date following closing with respect to the Concurrent Offering Target, issue a press release, and by the third Trading Day following such date file a Current Report on Form 8-K; in each case disclosing the material terms of such respective transactions, and shall attach such Transaction Documents thereto as may be required by applicable regulations. The Company and each Holder shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the Company or any Holder shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Holder, or without the prior consent of each Holder, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Holder, or include the name of any Holder in any filing
28
with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Holder, except (i) as required by federal securities law, including, without limitation, in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Holders with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).
4.8 Non-Public Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Holder or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Holder shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Holder shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.9 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
4.10 Indemnification of Holders.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company indemnifies and holds the Holders and the Agent and each of their directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Holder Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Holder Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by STAC, the Company or any other Subsidiary in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Holder Party, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Holder, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Holder’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Holder may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Holder of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Holder that constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
(b) If any action shall be brought against any Holder Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Holder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Holder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Holder Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Holder Party. The
29
Company will not be liable to any Holder Party under this Agreement (i) for any consent settlement by a Holder Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, liability, obligation, claim, contingency, damage, cost or expense is attributable to (A) any Holder Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Holders in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, or (B) any violation by the Holder of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Holder that constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance. The indemnification obligations under this Section 4.10 are in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have, including but not limited to any other indemnification liability under any other Transaction Document.
4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.
(a) The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th day after such date.
4.12 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Holder severally and not jointly with the other Holders covenants that neither it nor any Affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it (i) will execute any Short Sales during the period after the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.7 and (ii) thereafter so long as any Debentures, Residual Debentures, or Series B Preferred remain outstanding, will not execute any Short Sales in Common Stock in an amount greater than the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder owns or that such Holder reasonably expects it could receive upon conversion of the Debentures, Residual Debentures, Series B Preferred and Warrants and any other convertible securities of the Company then owned by it. Each Holder, severally and not jointly with the other Holders, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.7 such Holder will maintain, the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each Holder understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Holder, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement is a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Holder that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Holder’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct
30
knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Holder’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.13 Agent for the Holders. So long as any Debentures or Residual Debentures remain outstanding and unpaid, the Company, STAC, the Agent and the Holders acknowledge and agree that the rights and obligations set forth in Section 4.20 of the SPA of the Agent and the Holders (referred to therein as the “Purchasers”), remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full herein. The Company and STAC agree to timely pay all fees, costs and expenses owed by either of them to the Agent to the extent the Agent has performed its obligations and there is no good faith dispute among such parties.
4.14 Release of Security Interests. Upon the exchange of (a) the remaining principal amount of Debentures for shares of Series B Preferred and, if applicable, Residual Debentures at the Second Closing only with respect to the principal amount of Debentures exchanged into Series B Preferred, and (b) the principal amount of Residual Debentures into Series B Preferred, and in any event once no Debentures or Residual Debentures are remaining outstanding, the Company and the Holders shall execute such security termination letters and other termination documents reasonably requested by the Company and/or the Agent in order to terminate the Security Documents, and shall deliver such documents to the Agent; and the Agent shall, subject to receipt of any fees and expenses then due to it, file those security termination documents that are required to be filed with governmental authorities and return all security for the Debentures and Residual Debentures then held by it to the Company or its Subsidiaries as applicable.
4.15 Certain Covenants. Through the Second Closing Date, and if applicable, payment of any Residual Debentures, the Company shall comply with the covenants set forth in this Section 4.15. The financial covenants of the Company set forth in Section 4.21 of the SPA, as such covenants may have been amended prior to the date hereof, are hereby terminated and of no further force and effect.
(a) Payment of Obligations. The Company and its Subsidiaries will pay and discharge, as the same shall become due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and charges or levies made upon it or its property or assets, by any governmental body, agency or official except where any of such items may be diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall have set aside on its respective books, if required under GAAP, reserves for the liabilities related to such items.
(b) Affiliate Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, authorize, permit or suffer to occur any transactions, contracts or other arrangements by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary course of business and on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction on an arm’s-length basis.
31
(c) Restricted Payments, etc. Except with respect to Exempt Issuances, Permitted Indebtedness and the Concurrent Offering, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its non-wholly owned Subsidiaries to, declare, pay or make any dividend or distribution (in cash, property or obligations) on any shares of any class of its stock or on any warrants, options or other rights in respect of any class of its stock without the approval of the Required Holders. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to apply any of its funds, property or assets to the purchase, redemption, sinking fund or other retirement of any shares of any class of stock of the Company or any non-wholly owned Subsidiary, or make any deposit for any of the foregoing.
(d) No Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.
4.16 Restructuring Consultant. The Company shall cooperate fully with the CRO in its review of the Company’s business lines and financial operations with the goal of having the CRO present its findings and recommendations to the Company’s Board of Directors within 60 days of engagement. The CRO shall be given full access to the Company’s books and records and management during regular business hours.
4.17 Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.17 amends the Registration Rights Agreement as follows:
(a) Within 90 days of the First Closing, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall file a registration statement (the “New Registration Statement”) on the appropriate form covering all Underlying Shares not registered under the Existing Registration Statement plus such additional amount as will cause the aggregate amount of Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares registered with the Commission pursuant to the Existing Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to equal to the Required Minimum with the Commission. The Company shall use its best efforts to have the New Registration Statement declared effective by 150 days of the date of the First Closing. The Concurrent Shares may be included in the New Registration Statement.
(b) The Company may, at its option, also file one or more post-effective amendments to the Existing Registration Statement which may, to the extent consistent with the rules and regulations of the Commission, cause some or all of the Underlying Shares of the Series B Shares issued at the First Closing and the Second Closing to be included in such registration statement.
(c) If the New Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the 150th day after the date hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holders liquidated damages in a per diem amount equal to: (i) one thirtieth of 1.5% of the principal value of the Debentures set forth in the first Column of Schedule I hereto, “Aggregate Principal Amount of Original Debentures Outstanding,” less the Stated Value of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred with respect to which the Underlying Shares are subject to an effective registration statement (collectively, the “Aggregate Amount”) for such number of days during the first 30-day period that the New Registration Statement
32
has not been declared effective; and (ii) one thirtieth of 1.0% of such amount for such number of days during each subsequent 30-day period that the New Registration Statement has not been declared effective; which amounts shall be pro-rated to the extent any such period is less than 30 days; provided, however, that liquidated damages shall (A) be pro-rated only for that portion of the Underlying Shares, if any, not registered by such 150th day; and (B) shall not in the aggregate exceed 18.0% of the Aggregate Amount. Such payments shall be made within five (5) Trading Days following the end of the applicable 30-day period.
(d) The term “Registrable Securities,” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, shall also include Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred.
(e) In all other respects, the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
4.18 Incurrence of Indebtedness. From the date hereof through the Second Closing Date, and for so long as (i) shares of Series B Preferred with an aggregate liquidation preference of at least $8,182,500 remain outstanding, or (ii) any Debentures or Residual Debentures remain outstanding, except for Permitted Indebtedness, securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Offering, and Exempt Issuances, the Company shall not issue any securities or financial instruments that rank senior or pari passu to the Series B Preferred or, if outstanding, the Debentures or the Residual Debentures without the consent of the Required Holders.
4.19 SPA. (A) Effective at the Second Closing, subject to Section 4.13, the SPA shall terminate and be of no further force and effect except that Section 4.20 of the SPA shall survive in accordance with its terms. Each Holder, severally and not jointly: (a) agrees that the execution and performance of this Agreement, and all actions taken in furtherance thereof by the Company and its Affiliates shall not constitute a breach or default of the SPA, the Original Debentures or any other document, agreement or instrument related thereto (the “SPA Documents”); (b) hereby forever waives any and all breaches, defaults or Events of Default under the SPA Documents arising or existing on or before the date hereof except for such provisions of the SPA that expressly survive the termination thereof, and (c) hereby releases and discharges the Company, the Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, as the case may be, from and against any and all rights and claims related thereto, any and all obligations, liabilities (including, but not limited to, any liability for any breach or default by any of them of the terms or provisions of the SPA Documents), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, executions, claims and demands whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed, conditional or contingent in law or in equity (collectively, “Claims”), that the Holder ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have, against any of them for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing arising out of or based on the SPA Documents from the beginning of time to the date hereof; provided, that nothing herein shall release or discharge any Claim arising out of the Company’s or the Subsidiaries’ willful misrepresentation or fraud.
33
(B) The Company and the Subsidiaries, on the other hand (each, a “Releasor”), jointly and severally hereby release and discharge each Holder and purchaser under the SPA and the Agent (each, in such capacity, a “Releasee”), and each of the Releasee’s officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, as the case may be, from any and all Claims, which such Releasor ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have, against such Releasee or such other persons, for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing arising out of or based on the SPA Documents from the beginning of time to the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall operate to release or discharge any Claim arising out of a Releasee’s or any such other person’s willful misrepresentation or fraud.
4.20 Concurrent Offering. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Concurrent Offering and to execute and deliver the Concurrent Purchase Agreement in substantially the form previously delivered to the Holders. The Company shall apply the proceeds of the Concurrent Offering as follows: (a) to pay interest on the Original Debentures accrued through November 16, 2007; (b) costs and expenses arising in connection with or otherwise related to the Transaction Documents, the Concurrent Offering, the First Closing and the Second Closing; and (c) working capital purposes. The Concurrent Offering will terminate no later than one (1) year from the Second Closing Date. Sales of Common Stock made in connection with the Concurrent Offering shall be at the Concurrent Offering Price.
4.21 New Financing. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Second Closing Date, if the Company completes a subsequent equity or equity linked financing that does not constitute Permitted Indebtedness, the Concurrent Offering or an Exempt Issuance (a “New Financing”), the Holders of any Residual Debentures may exchange such securities at 100% of their face value for securities offered in such New Financing.
4.22 Variable Rate Transactions. For so long as any Debentures or Residual Debentures remain outstanding and unpaid, except for transactions provided for pursuant to this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any offering of its securities, including any firm commitment underwritten public offering, involving a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The term “Variable Rate Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
4.23 Board Composition. For such period and as otherwise specified in the voting agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto, the Company and the Holders shall nominate designees for election to the Company’s board of directors for election by the Company’s stockholders as set forth in such voting agreement and consistent with the terms of Section 2.1(f) hereof.

5.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or by any Holder, as to such Holder’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations among the Company, STAC and the other Holders, by written notice to the other parties, if the Second Closing has not been consummated on or before the date that is 150 days after the date of the First Closing; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach by the other party (or parties).

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future 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 either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Copies of waivers and amendments shall be delivered by the parties executing such instruments to the Agent if the Agent is not a party. Any material consideration provided by the Company to any Holder in exchange for such Holder’s consent to a waiver, modification or amendment to any material term or condition of any of the Transaction Documents will also be offered by the Company to the other existing Holders on a pro rata basis based on ownership of applicable securities.

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.
5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Company nor STAC may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Any Holder may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Holder assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Holders”.
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.12.
5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
36
improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable for two years after the Consolidation Date or the applicable statue of limitations.
5.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, 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 signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
5.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Holders and the Agent (acting upon the instructions of the Required Holders), on the one hand, and the Company and STAC, on the other hand, will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
37
5.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company or STAC makes a payment or payments to any Holder or the Agent pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Holder enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company or STAC, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.16 Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth in Section 4.20 of the SPA, each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Holders and their respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx does not represent all of the Holders but only Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. and its affiliates. The Company and STAC have elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holders.
5.17 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.18 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
38
5.19 Further Assurances. Each party agrees (a) to furnish upon request to each other party such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other party such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as another party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
