otherwise) other than (A) trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities

Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy
law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its
creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual
knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do
so. To the Company’s knowledge, no event, liability, fact,
circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists, or is reasonably
expected to occur or exist, with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or
their respective business, properties, operations, assets or condition
(financial or otherwise) which has had or could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect that has not been publicly disclosed at least one
Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.
11
(k) Litigation. There
is no Action which (i) may adversely affects or challenges the legality,
validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents against the
Company or the Securities or (ii) except as specifically disclosed in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year ended December 31, 2009 (the
“2009 10-K”) and 2010
10-Q, would, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer
thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any
Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except as specifically
disclosed in the 2009 10-K and 2010 10-Q. There has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of
the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any
registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange
Act or the Securities Act. Except as specified in Section 3.1(k) of the
Disclosure Letter, (i) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or,
since May 14, 2009, has been the subject of an investigation by any federal,
state or local governmental agency and (ii) there are no claims, actions, suits
or proceedings pending or threatened against or involving the Company or its
Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, that are
reasonably likely to result in a claim for damages in excess of
$50,000.
(l) Labor
Relations. No material labor dispute exists or, to the
knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of
the Company. The Company does not have any knowledge that any of its
current executive officers or directors intends to leave their position with the
Company in the future. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any
member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations
with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in
Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has
notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave
the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s
employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of
any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been in
compliance with all U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating
to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
12
(m) Employee
Benefits.
(i) Section 3.1(m) of the
Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete
list of each and every pension, profit-sharing, savings, retirement, employment,
consulting, severance pay, termination, executive compensation, incentive
compensation, deferred compensation, bonus, stock purchase, stock option,
phantom stock or other equity-based compensation, change-in-control, retention,
salary continuation, vacation, sick leave, disability, death benefit, group
insurance, hospitalization, medical, dental, life (including all individual life
insurance policies as to which the Company or any Subsidiary is the owner, the
beneficiary, or both), Code Section 125 “cafeteria” or “flexible” benefit,
employee loan, educational assistance or fringe benefit plan, program,
arrangement or agreement, whether written or oral, including, without
limitation, any (i) “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or (ii) other employee
benefit plans, agreements, programs, policies, arrangements or payroll
practices, whether or not subject to ERISA (including any funding mechanism
therefor) under which any current or former officer, director, employee, leased
employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries) of the
Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has any present or future right
to benefits or that is sponsored or maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or
any ERISA Affiliate or with respect to which the Company, any Subsidiary or any
ERISA Affiliate has made or is required to make payments, transfers or
contributions (an “Employee
Benefit Plan”). For purposes of this Section 3.1(m), the term
“ERISA Affiliate” means
any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that, together with the
Company or any Subsidiary, is treated as a single employer under the provisions
of Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA or Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
(ii)
Each Employee Benefit Plan has been and is currently administered in
compliance with its constituent documents and all requirements (including but
not limited to reporting and disclosure requirements) of ERISA, the Code and any
other law applicable to such Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee
Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code
has received a favorable determination letter, or an opinion letter on which the
Company may rely, from the IRS to the effect that the Employee Benefit Plan
satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code and that its related
trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and there are no
facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of
such qualification or the imposition of any liability, penalty or tax under
ERISA, the Code or any other applicable law. Except for routine
claims for benefits, no actions by any person or governmental body have been
filed against any Employee Benefit Plan, the Company, or any Subsidiary and no
such actions have been threatened with respect to any Employee Benefit
Plan. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of
the Company, any other “party in interest” or “disqualified person” with respect
to any Employee Benefit Plan has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited
transaction” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code
involving such Employee Benefit Plan that, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to subject the Company or any Subsidiary to any
liability for any tax or penalty imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or Section
501, 502 or 510 of ERISA. To the knowledge of the Company, no
fiduciary has any liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to
act or comply with the requirements of ERISA, the Code or any other applicable
laws in connection with the administration or investment of the assets of any
Employee Benefit Plan.
13
(iii) There
are no unfunded obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Employee
Benefit Plan. All contributions and premium payments required to have
been made under the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, or in accordance with
ERISA, the Code or other applicable law, have been timely made. Any
and all employee contributions withheld from payroll have been timely and fully
contributed to the appropriate Employee Benefit Plan as required by its
constituent documents, ERISA, the Code and applicable law. Neither
the Company, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to make any
payments or contributions to any Employee Benefit Plan pursuant to any
collective bargaining agreement or any applicable labor relations
law.
(iv) Neither
the Company, any Subsidiary nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, contributes, or
has any liability with respect to, or has since May 14, 2009, maintained,
contributed or had any liability, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan
(including, for such purpose, any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA that the Company or an ERISA Affiliate previously maintained or
contributed to within such preceding six years) that is, or has
been: (i) subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code;
(ii) maintained by more than one employer within the meaning of Section 413(c)
of the Code; (iii) subject to Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA; (iv) a
“multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA; (v) a “multiple
employer welfare arrangement” as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA; or (vi) an
“employee pension benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA that is not
intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
(v)
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has ever maintained or contributed to any
Employee Benefit Plan providing or promising any post-termination health or
other non-retirement benefits to any former officer, director, employee, leased
employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries) of the
Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate of the Company, other than health
care continuation coverage, at the maximum applicable premium permitted to be
charged by the Company or any Subsidiary (as applicable), required under
Section 4980B of the Code, or Section 601 of the
ERISA.
(vi) Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has received services from any individual whom
the Company any such Subsidiary did not treat as a common-law employee,
including any individual treated as a leased employee or as an independent
contractor, but who should have been treated as a common-law
employee. Each individual, if any, who has constituted a leased
employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, as defined under Section 414(n) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, has been properly treated as such
for all applicable purposes.
14
(vii) Each
Employee Benefit Plan that is a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" as
defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code has been operated in compliance with
Section 409A of the Code.
(n)
Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (except to the extent such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in
violation of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local
laws relating to pharmaceutical sales and the sale, distribution or advertising
of over-the- counter drugs, medications or nonprescription supplements and
products, taxes, pollution, environmental protection, occupational health and
safety, use of patient specific information (Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996), product quality and safety
or employment and labor matters, the default under or violation of which would
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Environmental
Compliance. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have at
all times had and now has all environmental approvals, consents,
licenses, permits and orders required to conduct the businesses in which it has
been or is now engaged and (ii) have at all times been and is now in compliance
in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws.
There are no claims, actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against
or involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any assets of the Company or
its Subsidiaries, under any of the environmental laws (whether by reason of any
failure to comply with any of the environmental laws or
otherwise). No decree, judgment or order of any kind under any of the
environmental laws has been entered against the Company or its Subsidiaries.
There are no facts, conditions or situations, whether now or heretofore
existing, that could form the basis for any claim against, or result in any
liability of, the Company or its Subsidiaries under any of the environmental
laws.
(p) Regulatory Permits.
The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations,
licenses and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as
described in the SEC Reports and as presently proposed to be conducted,
including, but not limited to, all licenses and permits relating to
pharmaceutical sales and the sale, distribution or advertising of over the
counter drugs, medications or nonprescription supplements, and neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to
the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization, license
or permit.
(q) Title to
Assets. The property and assets that the Company and the
Subsidiaries own are free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens disclosed on
Schedule 3.1(q) of the
Disclosure Letter, statutory Liens for the payment of current taxes that
are not yet delinquent and Liens that arise in the ordinary course of business
and to not materially impair such ownership or use of such property or assets.
With respect to property leased by the Company and the Subsidiaries, the Company
and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with such leases and, to the Company’s
knowledge, hold a valid leasehold interest free of any Liens other than those of
the lessors of such property or assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries do not
own any real property.
15
(r) Intellectual
Property.
(i) Section 3.1(r) of the
Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth all material Intellectual
Property that is owned and/or used in the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, viewed as a whole, as presently conducted or as proposed to be
conducted except for Commercial Software (defined below) (“Company’s IP”). No
Intellectual Property other than the Company’s IP is material to the business of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as presently conducted or as presently
proposed to be conducted. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the valid
right to use or is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest
in and to Company’s IP (with no breaks in the chain of title thereof) free and
clear of, to its knowledge, any claim, security interest, lien, pledge, option,
charge or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever except as disclosed in Section 3.1(r) of the
Disclosure Letter. The Company’s IP has not been used or
enforced or failed to be used or enforced in a manner that would result in the
abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of any of Company’s material
rights in and to Company’s IP.
(ii)
The Company has not
transferred any rights or interest in, or granted any exclusive license with
respect to, any of the Company’s IP to any third party.
(iii) All
of the Company’s IP owned by the Company is currently in compliance in all
material respects with all legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs
and payments of fees) and is valid and enforceable. None of the
Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its
Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently
proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any pending or
threatened cancellation, dispute or litigation of which the Company is
aware. No patent of the Company or its Subsidiaries has been or is
now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition
proceeding.
(iv) All
of the licenses and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements
concerning Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a
party or by which any of their assets are bound (other than generally
commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software application programs
having a retail acquisition price of less than $10,000 per license, collectively
“Commercial Software”)
(collectively, “License
Agreements”) are valid and binding obligations of the Company or its
Subsidiaries that are parties thereto and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other
parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the
extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and there exists no
event or condition which, to the Company’s knowledge, will result in a material
violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such
License Agreement.
16
(v)
The Company and its Subsidiaries
own or have the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is
necessary for the operation of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’
respective businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be
conducted. The Company and its Subsidiaries have a valid and
enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property and Confidential
Information used or held for use as the Company’s IP.
(vi) The
conduct of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses as currently conducted
does not, to the Company’s knowledge, infringe or otherwise impair or conflict
with (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual
Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a
third party, and, to the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s IP which are
necessary for the conduct of Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ respective
businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted are
not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or
order pending or outstanding or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or
imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use,
validity or enforceability of any of the Company’s IP or, to the Company’s
knowledge, the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ use of any Intellectual Property
or Confidential Information owned by a third party, and, to the Company’s
knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.
(vii) The
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
Transaction Documents will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or
restriction on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ownership or right to
use any of the Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of Company’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses as currently conducted or as
currently proposed to be conducted.
(s) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ 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 on terms consistent in all material
respects with market for similar size companies as the Company and its
Subsidiaries for the lines of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries at a
cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought
or applied for. The Company currently maintains directors and
officers liability insurance with coverage of no less than $5 million and errors
and omissions coverage of no less than $2 million, each in a form satisfactory
to the Investors. The Company currently maintains key person term
life insurance on the life of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (with the Company as sole
beneficiary) of no less than $2 million in a form satisfactory to the
Investors.
17
(t) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. None of the officers, directors or employees of the
Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any
Subsidiary (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers and
directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for
the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer,
director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in
which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner, which in each case is required to
be disclosed in the SEC Reports and has not been so disclosed.
(u) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company is in compliance with all
provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended, which are applicable
to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and each of the
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient 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
and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of
liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and
liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not deemed effective
as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
Company’s controls and procedures as of the Evaluation Date. The
Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, the Company has begun to institute
changes to its system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in the Exchange Act) that will significantly strengthen, or is
reasonably likely to strengthen, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Since the Evaluation Date, neither the Company nor any of
its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or correspondence from any
accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system
of internal accounting controls of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Additionally, the
Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of
the Principal Market and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that
could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock in the
foreseeable future.
(v) [RESERVED]
(w) Certain
Fees. Except as set forth on Section 3.1(w) of the
Disclosure Letter, no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or
will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall
have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other
than such fees or commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements
executed by such Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole
responsibility of such Investor) made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees
of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(w) that may be due in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
18
(x) Certain Registration
Matters. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities
Act is required for the offer and sale of the Units by the Company to the
Investors under the Transaction Documents. Except as specified
in the Investors’ Rights Agreement and in Section 3.1(x) of the
Disclosure Letter, no Person has any rights (including “piggy-back”
registration rights) to cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws of any securities of the Company
that have not been satisfied.
(y) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has
the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. The Company has not, since May 14,
2009, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the Company is
not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements thereof, except
that the Company did receive notice from FINRA with respect to the timeliness of
the filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2009. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not
in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and
maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or
quoted. The issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction
Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on
which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the
stockholders of the Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and
deliver to the Investors the Securities contemplated by Transaction
Documents.
(z) Investment
Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and
immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company,”
an Affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment

for, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
(aa) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or would become applicable to any of the
Investors as a direct result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
including without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities to the
Investors. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or
similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common
Stock or a change in control of the Company.
(bb) No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not directly or indirectly have
any agreement or understanding with any Investor with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified
in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure Materials.
19

Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in Sections 3.2.

between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other
off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its
Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed.

Corporation. The Company is not, and has never been, a U.S. real property
holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the
Company shall so certify upon the request of any Investor.

Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor
any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person acting on behalf of the

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful
bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee, except in each case as
would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(gg) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Units by any form of
general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered
the Units for sale only to the Investors and certain other “accredited
investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(hh) Accountants. The
Company’s accounting firm is set forth in the SEC Reports. To the
knowledge and belief of the Company, such accounting firm: (i) is a registered
public accounting firm as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express
its opinion with respect to the financial statements to be included in the
Company’s Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2010.
(ii) Regulation M

or its Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets are currently
bound.
20
(kk) Disclosure. The
Company understands and confirms that each of the Investors will rely on the
foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. All disclosure furnished by the Company to the Investors in
this Agreement and the Disclosure Letter to this Agreement regarding the
Company, its Subsidiaries, the Belgium Subsidiaries and their business and the
transactions contemplated hereby, is true and correct and does not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, for itself
and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or, if such Investor is not a corporation, such partnership, limited
liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such
Investor. Each of this Agreement and the Investors’ Rights Agreement
has been duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or
federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, and except as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment
Intent. Such Investor understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities laws and is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to such Investor’s right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty
by such Investor to hold the Securities for any period of time. Such
Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
(c) Investor
Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises
any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)
under the Securities Act. Such Investor, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits
and risks of such investment. Such Investor 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.
21
(d) General Solicitation.
Such Investor is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or
presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
advertisement.
(e) Access to
Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the
Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such
questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries
and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that
the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that
is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the
investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation
conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel
shall modify, amend or affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth,
accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in the Transaction
Documents.
(f)
Certain Trading Activities
and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Investor has not engaged, nor has such Investor
directed any Person to act on its behalf to engage, in any transactions in the
securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales
involving the Company’s securities or “locking-up” borrowing with respect to any
of the Company’s securities) since the earlier to occur of (1) the time that
such Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person regarding
an investment in the Company and (2) the 30th day
prior to the date of this Agreement. Other than to other Persons
party to this Agreement (and their respective representatives and advisors),
such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it
in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction).
(g) Independent Investment
Decision. Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its
decision to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and such Investor
confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Investor’s business
and/or legal counsel in making such decision.
(h) Reliance. Such
Investor understands and acknowledges that: (i) the Securities are being offered
and sold to it without registration under the Securities Act in a private
placement that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act
and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and the Company
will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations
and such Investor hereby consents to such reliance.
22
(i) Residency. Such
Investor is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below such
Investor’s name on the signature pages hereto.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any
representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Reasonable Best
Efforts. Each party shall use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as
provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of this Agreement.
4.2 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) Sales of Securities.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, each Investor covenants
that the Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective
registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the
Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction
not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in
compliance with any applicable state, federal or foreign securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate
of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.2(d),
the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, at the transferor’s expense, 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; provided, however, no such
opinion shall be required in connection with a transfer made in compliance with
Rule 144 (provided that the transferor provides the Company with reasonable
assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that such
securities may sold pursuant to such rule).
(b) Legends. Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky”
laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form
(and, with respect to Securities held in book-entry form, the Company or its
transfer agent will record such a legend on the share register), until such time
as they are not required under Section 4.1(c) or applicable law:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE
ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT
SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED
BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS
TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT (PROVIDED
THAT THE TRANSFEROR PROVIDES THE COMPANY WITH REASONABLE ASSURANCES (IN THE FORM
OF SELLER AND BROKER REPRESENTATION LETTERS) THAT THE SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD
PURSUANT TO SUCH RULE). NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE BY THE ISSUER AS TO
THE AVAILABILITY OF THE EXEMPTION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
FOR RESALES OF THESE SECURITIES
23
(c) Register. The Company
shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or
agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of
Securities), a register for the Securities in which the Company shall record the
name and address of the Person in whose name the Securities have been issued
(including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Conversion
Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. The Company
shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours
for inspection of any Investor or its legal representatives.
(d) Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates or
credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”) (if DTC is then
offered by the Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for
deposit with DTC in accordance with its rules), registered in the name of each
Investor or its respective nominee(s), for the Securities in such amounts as
specified from time to time by each Investor to the Company upon conversion of
the Company Shares or exercise of the Warrants. The Company represents and
warrants that no instruction other than the irrevocable instructions to its
transfer agent referred to in this Section 4.2(d) will be given by the Company
to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities and that the Securities
shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company,
as applicable, and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, except as it may reasonably determine are necessary to
comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or
modified after the Closing. If an Investor effects a sale, assignment or
transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Transaction
Documents, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its
transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the
applicable balance accounts at DTC (if DTC is then offered by the Company and
its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC in
accordance with its rules) in such name and in such denominations as specified
by such Investor to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that
such sale, assignment or transfer involves Securities sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance
with Rule 144 (provided that in the case of a sale, transfer or assignment under
Rule 144 the foregoing is not an “affiliate” of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144)), the transfer agent shall issue such
Securities to the Investor, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without
any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its
obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to an Investor. Accordingly,
the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations
under this Section 4.2(d) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a
breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provisions of this Section
4.2(d), that an Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available
remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring
immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss
and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with
respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated
with the issuance of an opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the
Securities shall be borne by the Investor. Certificates evidencing
the Securities will contain the legend set forth in Section 4.2(b) hereof, the
Investor Rights Agreement or Warrant, as the case may be.
24
The Company acknowledges and agrees
that an Investor may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Securities in accordance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection
with a bona fide margin account and, if required under the terms of such
agreement or account, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities
to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would
not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of
legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in connection
with a subsequent transfer by the pledgee or secured party following default by
such Investor or otherwise. No notice shall be required of such
pledge. At the appropriate Investor’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.
(e) Certificates
evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend at such time as an
Investor has provided reasonable evidence to the Company (including any
customary broker’s or selling stockholder’s letters but expressly excluding an
opinion of counsel other than with respect to clauses (iii) or (iv) below),
that: (i) there has been a sale of such Securities pursuant to an effective
registration statement (including the Registration Statement(s)), (ii) there has
been a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is
not an Affiliate of the Company), (iii) in connection with a sale, assignment or
other transfer (other than under Rule 144) provided that, upon request of the
Company, such Investor provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such
Investor, in a reasonably acceptable form, to the effect that such sale,
assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without
limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the Commission). Following such time as restrictive legends are not required to
be placed on certificates representing Securities pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Company will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the
delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a
certificate representing Securities containing a restrictive legend and the
foregoing evidence (and opinion if applicable), deliver or cause to be delivered
to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that is free from
all restrictive and other legends or credit the balance account of such
Investor’s or such Investor’s nominee with DTC (if DTC is then offered by the
Company and its transfer agent and such Securities qualify for deposit with DTC
in accordance with its rules) with a number of shares of Securities equal to the
number of shares represented by the certificate so delivered by such Investor
(the date by which such certificate is required to be delivered to such Investor
or such shares were required to be credited to such Investor’s account with DTC
(as the case may be) pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the
“Required Delivery
Date”). The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section, except as it may reasonably determine are
necessary or appropriate to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable
laws that are enacted or modified after the Closing. Each Investor
acknowledges that the Company was previously an “issuer” described in Rule
144(i)(1)(i). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to remove the restrictive
legend from any certificate representing the Securities except in connection
with an actual sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144(i)(2) or as otherwise
permitted by applicable law.
25
(f) Acknowledgement. Each
Investor hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the
Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the
Securities or the Conversion Shares or any interest therein without complying
with the requirements of the Securities Act. Except as otherwise
provided below, while the Registration Statement remains effective, each
Investor hereunder may sell the Conversion Shares in accordance with the plan of
distribution contained in the Registration Statement and if it does so it will
comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an
exemption therefrom is available or unless the Securities are sold pursuant to
Rule 144. Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other
Investors, agrees that if it is notified by the Company in writing at any time
that the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Conversion Shares
is not effective or that the prospectus included in such registration statement
no longer complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
Act, the Investor will refrain from selling such Conversion Shares until such
time as the Investor is notified by the Company that such registration statement
is effective or such prospectus is compliant with Section 10 of the
Securities Act, unless such Investor is able to, and does, sell such Conversion
Shares pursuant to an available exemption from the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
4.3 Form D and Blue
Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect
to the Securities as required under Regulation D of the Securities
Act. The Company shall, on, before or after the Closing Date, take
such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to
obtain an exemption for, or to, qualify the Securities for sale to the Investors
at the 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
the Investors on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall make
all necessary filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states
of the United States following the Closing Date.
4.4 Furnishing of
Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no
Investor owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired (the “Reporting Period”), has
occurred, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock
under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would no longer require or otherwise permit such
termination. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the
Investors’ Rights Agreement, during the Reporting Period, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to
the Investors and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such
information as is required for the Investors to sell the Securities under Rule
144. Without limiting any of the Company’s obligations under the Investors’
Rights Agreement, the Company further covenants that it will take such further
action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without
registration under the Securities Act, including without limitation, within the
requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
26
4.5 Integration. The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale
of the Securities to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market in a manner that would require stockholder approval of the sale
of the securities to the Investors.
4.6 Survival of Company
Representations and Indemnification of Investors.
(a) The
representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.1 and the
covenant contained in Section 4.10 hereof shall survive the Closing until 30
days after the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year
ending December 31, 2011; provided, however, that claims with respect (i) to
fraud and (ii) breaches of the representations and warranties contained in
Sections 3.1(b) through 3.1(g), and 3.1(i) hereof (collectively, the “Core Representations”), shall
survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Claims
for indemnification for Losses pursuant to this Section 4.6 by an Investor Party
relating to breaches of representations and warranties of the Company or a
breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.10, if not otherwise resolved by
the parties, must be asserted by the Investor Party commencing a legal action
with respect thereto prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period,
or the claim for Losses will be extinguished at the expiration of the applicable
survival period.
(b) In
addition to the indemnity provided in the Investors’ Rights Agreement, but
subject to the limitations contained in this Section 4.6, the Company will
indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, officers, stockholders,
partners, employees, members and direct or indirect investors and any of
the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from
any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages,
costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, suits, penalties and fees, including
all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such
Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of, arising out of or relating to
(i) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty, or (ii) any breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement, made by
the Company in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity
contained herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its
reasonable out-of-pocket legal and other expenses (including the reasonable
out-of-pocket cost of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection
therewith) as incurred in connection therewith, as promptly as practicable after
such expenses are incurred and invoiced
27
(c) Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the
Company be liable for Losses pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.6(b) hereof or
pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 4.6 hereof with respect to the covenant
contained in Section 4.10 hereof, until the aggregate amount of Losses of all
Investor Parties exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), and then the Company
shall only be liable for the amount of such excess Losses; provided, however,
that the limitation contained in this Section shall not apply to Losses arising
out of or resulting from fraud or any breach of any Core
Representation.
(d) All
remedies, either under the Transaction Documents, by law, or otherwise afforded
to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative and are in addition to all
other rights and remedies a party may have, including any right to equitable
relief and any right to xxx for damages as a result of a breach of this
Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no exercise of a remedy
shall be deemed an election excluding any other
remedy. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.6(d), claims
by an Investor Party for damages or any alternative remedy relating to any
misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representations or warranties of
the Company, or breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.10 hereof (i) must
be asserted prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period and in the
same manner and subject to the same exceptions as provided in Section 4.6(a) for
claims for indemnification for Losses, and (ii) shall be subject to the Basket
on the same terms and subject to the same exceptions as provided in Section
4.6(c) for claims for indemnification for Losses.

4.8 Listing of
Securities. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the
Registrable Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated

official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all Registrable
Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction
Documents on such exchange or automated quotation system or another Trading
Market. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the Common
Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market. The Company agrees,
(i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading
Market, it will include in such application the Company Shares, the Conversion
Shares and the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
or desirable to cause the Company Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and
(ii) it will use reasonable best efforts to take all action that it believes is
reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on
a Trading Market and to comply in all material respects with the Company’s
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the
applicable Trading Market; provided that no such action
need be taken with respect to the Company’s Preferred Stock if Stockholder
Approval has been obtained by the Stockholder Approval Deadline. Neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which it believes
could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the
Common Stock (and if required to be listed by this Section 4.8, the Preferred
Stock) on any Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section
4.8.

Equivalents, or any other debt or equity securities of the Company, any of its
Subsidiaries, or the Belgium Subsidiaries except as provided on Schedule
4.9.
4.10 Conduct of Business.
The business of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and the Belgium Subsidiaries
shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.11 Prohibited Actions.
The Company shall not without the prior consent of an Investor knowingly enter
into any transaction or take any other action which would create any liability
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or the rules promulgated thereunder by

purchased the Securities under this Agreement.

Fee”); and provided further that fees of counsel to the
Company in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not exceed
$50,000. At the Closing, in order to offset the obligations owed by
the Company under this Section 6.1, HWH shall withhold the HWH
Counsel Fee from payment of their aggregate Investment Amount and shall, on
behalf of the Company wire the HWH Counsel Fee directly to
Xxxxxxx.
6.2 Entire Agreement. The
Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits, schedules and the Disclosure
Letter thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings,
discussions and representations, oral or written, with respect to such subject
matter, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents,
exhibits and schedules. The Company confirms that, except for the investment in
the Securities as set forth in this Agreement, no Investor has made any
commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to
the Company or otherwise.

6.4 Amendments; Waivers.
No provision of any Transaction Document may be waived, modified or amended
except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Investors holding a
majority of the Securities, provided that any party shall have the right to
provide a waiver with regards to itself. Any such amendment,
modification or waiver effected in accordance hereto shall be binding upon each
Investor and each future holder of all Securities of such
Investor. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of any Transaction Document 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. No such amendment or waiver (unless given
pursuant to the foregoing provisos) shall be effective to the extent that it
applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then
outstanding.
32
6.5 Construction. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. 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. This Agreement
shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents.
6.6 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company
may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign any or all of
its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any
Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the
assigned or transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the
“Investors,” in which event such assignee or transferee shall be deemed to be an
Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
6.7 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 4.6 (as to each Investor
Party).
6.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all 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, employees or agents) shall be
commenced exclusively in the Delaware Courts. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts 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 Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such Delaware Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient
forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any such 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. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to
trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party
shall commence a Proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document,
then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and other reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation
and prosecution of such Proceeding.
33
6.9 Survival. Except
as provided in Section 4.6 hereof, the representations, warranties, agreements
and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the
Securities. Each Investor shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
6.10 Execution. 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.
6.11 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.
6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without
limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any
Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within
the periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its
sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any
relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its
future actions and rights.
6.13 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. If a replacement certificate or instrument
evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company
may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition
precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
6.14 Remedies. In addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law,
including recovery of damages, each of the parties hereto 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. The
Company therefore agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to specific
performance and temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or
any other type of security.
34
6.15 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
any Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or an Investor 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, 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.
6.16 Independent Nature of
Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any
Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase
Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor
independently of any other Investor. It is expressly understood and
agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other
Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not
between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among
Investors.
6.17 Delivery of
Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, unless otherwise
directed in writing by the applicable Investor, the Company shall, and shall
cause its agents and representatives to, deliver all of such Investor’s
Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement (and all securities which are
issuable to the Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document) to the address for delivery of Securities set forth on
such Investor’s signature page to this Agreement, and copies of the certificates
representing such securities shall be sent to such Investor to the address of
such Investor as set forth on such Investor’s signature page to this
Agreement.
6.18 Legal
Representation. Each Investor acknowledges that (a)
HWH has retained Xxxxxxx in connection with the Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the interests of HWH may not
necessarily coincide with the interests of the other Investors, (c) Xxxxxxx does
not represent any Investor other than HWH and (d) each Investor has
had the opportunity to consult with its own counsel and has not relied on
Xxxxxxx for legal counsel in connection with the Agreements or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.
35
6.19 Conversion and Termination
of Indebtedness.
(a) By
executing and delivering this Agreement, the Company and each Investor making
payment of the purchase price for the Units and/or a Convertible Note to be
purchased by such Investor, in whole or in part, by cancellation or conversion
of indebtedness listed on Exhibit H (the “Indebtedness” and such
Investor, a “Conversion
Investor”), agree that (i) all of the Indebtedness shall convert into
Units and a Convertible Note at the Closing as set forth on such Conversion
Investor’s signature page hereto, and (ii) the shares of Preferred Stock, the
Convertible Note and the Warrant representing Warrant Shares set forth on such
Conversion Investor’s signature page hereto are issued in full discharge and
satisfaction of the Indebtedness held by such Conversion Investor.
(b) Other
than each Conversion Investor’s right to receive the shares of Preferred Stock,
the Convertible Note and the Warrant representing Warrant Shares set forth on
such Conversion Investor’s signature page hereto at the Closing, each Conversion
Investor hereby waives any and all demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of
actions, proceedings, assessments and rights in respect of the each of the
Indebtedness, including, without limitation, (i) any principal or interest
payments due as of the date hereof in excess of the amounts to be converted into
Units and a Convertible Note, if any, (ii) any right to notice of the
conversion of the Indebtedness and (iii) any rights arising from any past or
present default or event of default under the Indebtedness. Each
Conversion Investor hereby represents and warrants that, immediately
prior to the Closing, the Indebtedness set forth on Exhibit H represents
all debt of the Company held by such Conversion Investor. Each
Conversion Investor hereby agrees to promptly take any further action and to
execute any and all additional documents or instruments requested by the Company
to terminate any liens, guarantees, lock-up agreements or other security
interests that have arisen in connection with the Indebtedness, if any, and
authorizes the Company to terminate UCC financing statements relating to the
Indebtedness; provided, however, nothing
provided herein shall prevent the Investors purchasing Convertible Notes from
taking all such actions allowed by or set forth in the Loan Agreement necessary
or permissible in order to perfect the security interests provided under the
Loan Agreement.
(c) The
Conversion Investors agree to deliver the original instruments evidencing the
Indebtedness (the “Indebtedness
Instrument”) to the Company for cancellation at the Closing or a lost
note affidavit. Until such time as a Conversion Investor has
delivered its original Indebtedness Instrument to the Company for cancellation,
such Conversion Investor and its assigns, shall at all times indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees or agents and any
person acting on behalf of or at the request of the Company, together with any
successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, from and against any and all
claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against
any and all losses, damages, judgments, costs, counsel fees, expenses and
liabilities whatsoever, which any of such indemnitees at any time shall or may
sustain or incur (A) by reason of any claim which may be made in respect of such
original Indebtedness Instrument, and (B) by reason of payment for or transfer,
exchange or delivery of such original Indebtedness Instrument. Each
Conversion Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that it is the
sole owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Indebtedness
Instrument, described as held by such Conversion Purchaser on Exhibit
H.
6.20 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 any 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.
