(m) LIMITATION ON RATE OF ISSUANCE OF SHARES. The parties agree that, if by virtue of this AGREEMENT, or by virtue of any other agreement between the parties, Holder becomes entitled to receive from the Company a number of shares of common stock of the Company (collectively, “Issuable Securities”), such that the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by HOLDER and any applicable affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Debenture, the unexercised Warrants or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of HOLDER subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein)(collectively, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”) and (2) the number Issuable Securities described above, with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “4.99% BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION”), then the Company shall immediately deliver to Holder the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, that can be issued without exceeding the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
21
ex101form8k042007.htm
For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) beneficial ownership shall be determined by the Holder in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, and PROVIDED THAT the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable notice from Holder includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares in such notice will not violate the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction.
The parties agree that, in the event that the Company receives any tender offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an “Offer”), or in the event the Company is issuing Default Shares (as defined in the Debenture) to the Buyer, then “4.99%” shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read “9.99%” each place it occurs in the first two paragraphs of this Section 4(n) above. Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the option to either exercise or not exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer. In addition, the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7(a)(ii) may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Debenture held by the Holder or upon exercise of a Warrant held by the Holder, as applicable, and the provisions of this Section 4(n) shall continue to apply. The limitations on conversion set forth in this subsection are referred to as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation.” Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder.
The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
Maximum Exercise of Rights. In the event the Buyer notifies the Company that the exercise of the rights described herein or in the Warrants, or the issuance of Payment Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder under the terms of the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Issuable Shares”) would result in the issuance of an amount of common stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Buyer calculated in the manner described in Section 4(n) of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of common stock of the Company to such Buyer will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Buyer is able to beneficially own such common stock without exceeding the maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in herein. The determination of when such common stock may be issued shall be made by each Buyer as to only such Buyer.

(n) EQUAL TREATMENT OF BUYERS. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Agreements unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Agreements.
(o) LEGAL AND DUE DILIGENCE FEES. The Company shall pay to Quest Capital Alliance (the “Lead Investor”) Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) Warrants at closing as reimbursement for services rendered by it in connection with this Agreement and the purchase and sale of the Debentures and Warrants and as reimbursement for due diligence expenses.
(p) NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. The Company covenants and agrees that from and after the date hereof, neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Buyer or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Buyer shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Buyer shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
(q) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. So long as any Debenture or Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, enter into, amend, modify or supplement, or permit any Subsidiary to enter into, amend, modify or supplement any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement with any of its or any Subsidiary’s officers, directors, person who were officers or directors at any time during the previous two (2) years, stockholders who beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the Common Stock, or Affiliates (as defined below) or with any individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual or with any entity in which any such entity or individual owns a five percent (5%) or more beneficial interest (each a “Related Party”), except for customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on reasonable terms. “Affiliate” for purposes hereof means, with respect to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or indirectly, (i) has a ten percent (10%) or more equity interest in that person or entity, (ii) has ten percent (10%) or more common ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that person or entity, or (iv) shares common control with that person or entity. “Control” or “controls” for purposes hereof means that a person or entity has the power, direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity.

5. SECURED DEBT. The Borrower hereby represents that there are no liens or encumbrances on the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). The Company agrees that from the Issue Date of the Debentures through the date that all of the Debentures have been paid in full or converted in full (the “Covered Period”), the Company shall not enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance (collectively, “Liens”) upon the Collateral other than the Liens contemplated by the Security Agreement. In the event that the Company attempts to place any Lien or Liens on the Collateral during the Covered Period, the Buyer shall have the right to apply for an injunction in the U.S. District Court for Missouri to prevent such Lien or transfer. Before entering into any
23
ex101form8k042007.htm
future debt with a third party, the Company shall first obtain a subordination agreement, satisfactory to Buyer, from the proposed debt holder.
6. LEGENDS.
(a) The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, together with any other shares of Common Stock that are issued or issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall be referred to herein as the “Issued Common Shares.” Certificates evidencing the Issued Common Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth in Section 2(e) of the Debenture): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Issued Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Issued Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the issuance of Issued Common Shares without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of Issued Common Shares, then such Issued Common Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 6(b), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Issued Common Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Buyer a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
(b) Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 6 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
7. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Debenture and Warrants to a Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion:

(g) INDEPENDENT NATURE OF BUYERS’ OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document.

(i) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2(f), Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to any person that purchases Securities in a private transaction from a Buyer or to any of its “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the 1934 Act, without the consent of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior to any assignment of its rights hereunder to a person (other than an affiliate) that purchases any Debenture or Warrants from such Buyer in a private transaction such Buyer shall provide the Company with written notice of its intention to sell some or all of the Debenture or Warrants, which notice shall disclose the proposed purchase price for such Debenture or Warrants, and the Company shall have the option, during the ten (10) business day period following such notice, to purchase all, but not less than all, of such Debenture and/or Warrants at the proposed purchase price, after which period the Buyer shall be free to sell the Debenture and/or Warrants to a third party at such proposed purchase price.
(j) THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.
(k) SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder for a period of one (1) year after each Closing contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer.
(l) INDEMNIFICATION. The Company (the “INDEMNIFYING PARTY”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all its officers, directors, employees, agents, members and managers (the “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred with respect to claims by third parties.
Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof and the basis hereunder upon which a claim for indemnification is asserted, but the failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. In
28
ex101form8k042007.htm
the event of the commencement of any such action, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal expenses (including attorneys’ fees) subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
As to cases in which the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is providing the defense for the Indemnified Party, the control of such defense shall be vested in the Indemnifying Party; provided that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall be required prior to any settlement of such case or action, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. As to any action, the party which is controlling such action shall provide to the other party reasonable information (including reasonable advance notice of all proceedings and depositions in respect thereto) regarding the conduct of the action and the right to attend all proceedings and depositions in respect thereto through its agents and attorneys, and the right to discuss the action with counsel for the party controlling such action.
(m) PUBLICITY. The Company and the Buyer shall have the right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press releases, filings with the SEC, NASD or any stock exchange or interdealer quotation system, or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any press release or public filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations (although the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment thereon).
(n) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(o) NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
(p) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
29
ex101form8k042007.htm
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
(q) REMEDIES. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies in law or in equity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure any breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
10. NUMBER OF SHARES AND PURCHASE PRICE. Buyer subscribes for a Debenture in the Original Principal Amount of $ (“Subscription Amount”) against payment by wire transfer in the amount of the Subscription Amount.
The undersigned acknowledges that this Agreement and the subscription represented hereby shall not be effective unless accepted by the Company as indicated below.
