(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 the Transaction Documents 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 such enforceability may be
10
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 is acquiring the Units as principal for its own account (except in the case of Xxxxxxxxx Shaham Provident Funds and Pension Ltd (“Xxxxxxxxx”), which is acquiring the Units in trust for the benefit of the provident funds and/or pensions managed by it), and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares 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 Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Such Investor is acquiring the Shares 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 Shares.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Units, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, it being expressly acknowledged by the Company that Xxxxxxxxx qualifies as an accredited investor by virtue of its status as the management company of the provident funds and pensions managed by it which is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000. Such Investor is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) General Solicitation. Such Investor is not purchasing the Units as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Units 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 had access to review 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 Units and the merits and risks of investing in the Units; (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. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Investor, has not, directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Investor, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Investor first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof; provided, however, that with respect to Xxxxxxxxx, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties that Xxxxxxxxx is providing this representation and warranty solely for itself and in its own name and not with respect to the provident funds and pensions managed by, with respect to such funds and pensions no representation or warranty is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’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. Such Investor, as the management company of the provident funds and pensions managed by it (not to include Affiliates over which Investor does not exercise investment discretion), covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.
11
(g) Independent Investment Decision. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by the Investors under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, no Investor has agreed to act with any other Investor for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Shares or Warrants for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Investor is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Units. Such Investor has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Units pursuant to the Transaction Documents, 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. Such Investor has not relied on the business or legal advice of the Company or any of its agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder.
(h) Affiliates Involvement in Offering. Investor acknowledges that it is aware of the following: One or more of the Company’s officers or directors may invest in the Units and it is anticipated that one director, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, will purchase a substantial portion of the Units issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement. The participation of officers and directors of the Company in this offering should not be taken as an indication of their views regarding the prospects of the Company nor should the Investor infer from their participation that they possess non-public information suggesting favorable prospects for the Company. Given that the Company is attempting to close the offering in an expeditious manner, the Company has not engaged an investment banker and the Per Unit Purchase Price has been determined based on negotiation with a limited number of investors that includes Xx. Xxxxxxxx. The Company’s stock is thinly traded and accordingly the trading price of the Company’s stock may not accurately reflect the current value of the Company. As of the date of this Agreement, Xx. Xxxxxxxx owned approximately 3.6% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company. At the conclusion of the First Closing, Xx. Xxxxxxxx will own approximately 18.6% of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, which percentage may increase in the event of subsequent closings or the Second Closing.

(e) Selection of Investment Banker(s). If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering shall be made by the Company.
7.3. Additional Registration Procedures.
(a) Company Obligations. In connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, the Company shall use all reasonable commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof. The registration statement filed in connection therewith shall (i) be available for the sale of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling holders thereof and (ii) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be included therein or if permitted by the rules and forms of the SEC, incorporate such financial statements therein by reference. Before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto relating to a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, the Company shall furnish to the counsel of each Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel. Additionally, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) notify each holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to any registration statement as may be necessary to keep any such registration statement effective for the period specified in 7.1(b) or 7.2(b);
(iii) cause the prospectus to such registration statement to be amended or supplemented as required and to be filed as required by Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act;
(iv) respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to any Long-Form or Short-Form Registration statement or any amendment thereto; and
18
(v) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling holders thereof.
(b) Delay. Other than with respect to registration pursuant to Section 7.1(b) above, the Company may delay taking any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 7.3(a) (i) to the extent that the board of directors of the Company in good faith determines that such delay is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a material financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, the disclosure of which would have a materially detrimental effect on the Company; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right of delay for more than sixty days, less the number of days if any such registration statement may have been postponed pursuant to Section 7.1(d) above, with respect to any Demand Registration and it delivers written notice to each such holder of Warrants and Warrant Shares to such effect or (ii) unless and until the Company has received a written notice (a “Registration Notice”) from such holder that such holder intends to make offers or sales under the registration statement as specified in such Registration Notice; provided, however, that the Company shall have ten (10) business days to prepare and file any such amendment or supplement after receipt of the Registration Notice or such longer period as is reasonably necessary if such preparation and filing are not commercially practicable within ten (10) business days. Once a holder has delivered a Registration Notice to the Company, such holder shall promptly provide to the Company such information as the Company reasonably requests in order to identify such holder and the method of distribution in a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to its prospectus. Such holder also shall notify the Company in writing upon completion of such offer or sale or at such time as such holder no longer intends to make offers or sales under such registration statement.
(c) Copies of Filings. The Company shall furnish to each seller of Warrant Shares under a registration statement such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus or supplement), such documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Warrant Shares owned by or issuable to such seller;
(d) Notices. The Company shall immediately notify each seller of such Warrant Shares (i) when any amendment or supplement to the prospectus relating to a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares has been filed with the SEC, (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or any part thereof or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Warrant Shares for offer or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, and (iv) of the happening of any event during the period the registration statement is effective as a result of which (A) such registration statement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) such prospectus as then amended or supplemented contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and, the Company shall prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Warrant Shares, such registration statement or prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
ARTICLE 8.

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8(iii) or 8(v) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

9.4. Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and both Investors. 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. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Investor to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all Investors who then hold Shares.
9.5. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the First Closing:
(a) by written agreement of the Investors and the Company; and
(b) by the Company or an Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) upon written notice to the other, if the First Closing shall not have taken place by 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on the Outside Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.5(b) shall not be available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the First Closing to occur on or before such time.

9.6 Limitation on Ownership.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event any issuance or sale of Initial Units or Additional Units to an Investor would result in such Investor (i) acquiring 20% or more of the issued and outstanding equity interests or voting interests in the Company, (ii) having board observer or director or designation rights; (iii) having a right to receive 20% or more of the profits of the Company; (iv) having a right to receive 20% or more of the residual assets of the Company upon its liquidation; or (v) be an Affiliate of the Company such that it exercises control over the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and such Investor is subject to a contractual, legal or regulatory prohibition against such level of ownership, then such Investor shall not be obligated to purchase, and the Company may not compel the issuance or sale to such Investor, of such number of Units as would represent the excess of 20% of the issued and outstanding equity interests or voting interests in the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms and conditions of this Agreement, if as a result of any recapitalization, repurchase, restructuring, issuance of New Securities or any other event (other than solely as a result of the purchase of additional equity or voting interests in the Company by Xxxxxxxxx not pursuant to the
21
Transaction Documents), Xxxxxxxxx, after giving effect to such transaction, would (i) own 20% or more of the issued and outstanding equity interests or voting interests of the Company, (ii) have board observer or director or designation rights, (iii) have a right to receive 20% or more of the profits of the Company; (iv) have a right to receive 20% or more of the residual assets of the Company upon its liquidation; or (v) be an Affiliate of the Company such that it exercises control over the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, then the Company shall be obligated to offer to repurchase from the Investor and cancel, and the Investor may, but is not required to sell to the Company for cancellation, such number of Units as would represent the excess of 20% of the issued and outstanding equity interests or voting interests or such other means of control in the Company at a price per Unit equal to the Redemption Price. It is understood and agreed that for all purposes under this Agreement, such repurchase shall be treated as a rescission of the initial issuance of such repurchased and cancelled Units.
9.7. 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. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, that occur after the date of this Agreement.
9.8. 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 to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Shares, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors.”
9.9. 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.
9.10. 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 New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Actions concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents shall be commenced exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action 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 Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an Action to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such Action shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action.
9.11. Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the First Closing and the Second Closing and the delivery of the Shares.
9.12. 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
22
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.
9.13. 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.
9.14. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document 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 Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.
