III. THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS
The Company represents and warrants to Buyer that:
A. CAPITALIZATION.
1. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 14,534,600 shares are issued and
outstanding as of the date hereof and are fully paid and nonassessable. The
amount, exercise, conversion or subscription price and expiration date for each
outstanding option and other security or agreement to purchase shares of Common
Stock is accurately set forth on Schedule III.A.1.
-----------------
2. The Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares have been duly and
validly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company, and, when issued by
the Company upon conversion of the Debenture, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable and will not subject the holder thereof to personal
liability by reason of being such holder.
3. Except pursuant to the Acquisition and as disclosed on Schedule
--------
III.A.3., there are no preemptive, subscription, "call," right of first refusal
--------
or other similar rights to acquire any capital stock of the Company or other
voting securities of the Company that have been issued or granted to any person
and no other obligations of the Company to issue, grant, extend or enter into
any security, option, warrant, "call," right, commitment, agreement, arrangement
or undertaking with respect to any of their respective capital stock.
B. ORGANIZATION; REPORTING COMPANY STATUS.
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction in which it is
incorporated and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions
in which the failure so to qualify would reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the business, properties, prospects, condition
(financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or on the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a
"MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT").
2. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"). The Common
Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("OTCBB") and the Company has not received any notice
regarding, and to its knowledge there is no threat of, the termination or
discontinuance of the eligibility of the Common Stock for such trading.
C. AUTHORIZATION. The Company (i) has duly and validly authorized and
reserved for issuance shares of Common Stock, which is a number sufficient for
the conversion of the Debenture and the exercise of the Conversion Warrant and
(ii) at all times from and after the date hereof shall have a sufficient number
of shares of Common Stock duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance
to satisfy the conversion of the Debenture in full and the exercise of the
Conversion Warrant. The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially
dilutive effect on the Common Stock of the issuance of the Conversion Shares and
the Warrant Shares. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to
issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debenture and the exercise of the
Conversion Warrant and the Initial Warrant in accordance with this Agreement is
absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive
3
effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
stockholders of the Company and notwithstanding the commencement of any case
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et seq. (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE"). In the event the
-------
Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives to the
fullest extent permitted any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. Sec.
362 in respect of the conversion of the Debenture. The Company agrees, without
cost or expense to Buyer, to take or consent to any and all action necessary to
effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362.
D. AUTHORITY; VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Documents (as such
term is hereinafter defined) and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and
thereunder (including the issuance, sale and delivery to Buyer of the
Securities). The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Documents and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Debenture
and the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares and the
Warrant Shares) have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company. Each of the Documents has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by the Company and each Document constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'
rights and remedies generally and except as rights to indemnity and contribution
may be limited by federal or state securities laws or the public policy
underlying such laws. The Securities have been duly and validly authorized for
issuance by the Company and, when executed and delivered by the Company, will be
valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "DOCUMENTS" means (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Registration
Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Company and Buyer,
(iii) the Debenture; and (iv) the Conversion Warrant.
E. VALIDITY OF ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES. The Debenture, the
Conversion Shares upon their issuance in accordance with the Debenture, and the
Warrant Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable, and not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first
refusal, tag-along rights, drag-along rights or other similar rights.
F. NON-CONTRAVENTION. The execution and delivery by the Company of the
Documents, the issuance of the Securities, and the consummation by the Company
of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement and other Documents will not, conflict
with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse
of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration of any obligation or loss of a material benefit under, or result in
the creation of any Lien (as such term is hereinafter defined) upon any of the
properties or assets of
4
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, or result in the termination of or
require that any consent be obtained or any notice be given with respect to (i)
the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or the
comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries, in
each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, (ii) any loan or credit
agreement, Debenture, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other
agreement, instrument or permit applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or their respective properties or assets or (iii) any Law (as such
term is hereinafter defined) applicable to, or any judgment, decree or order of
any court or government body having jurisdiction over, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets.
G. APPROVALS. No authorization, approval or consent of any court or
public or governmental authority is required to be obtained by the Company for
the issuance and sale of the Securities to Buyer as contemplated by this
Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents as have been
obtained by the Company prior to the date hereof.
H. COMMISSION FILINGS. The Company has properly and timely filed with
the Commission all reports, proxy statements, forms and other documents required
to be filed with the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
since becoming subject to such Acts (the "COMMISSION FILINGS"). As of their
respective dates, (i) the Commission Filings complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may
be, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder
applicable to such Commission Filings and (ii) none of the Commission Filings
contained at the time of its filing any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included
in the Commission Filings, as of the dates of such documents, were true and
complete in all material respects and complied with applicable accounting
requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with
respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("GAAP") (except in the case of unaudited
statements permitted by Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
Debentures thereto) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated
results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that
in the aggregate are not material and to any other adjustment described
therein).
I. FULL DISCLOSURE. There is no fact known to the Company (other than
general economic or industry conditions known to the public generally) that has
not been fully disclosed in the Commission Filings that (i) reasonably could be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) reasonably could be expected
to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to performing its
obligations pursuant to the Documents.
J. ABSENCE OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. No "EVENT OF DEFAULT" (as defined in
any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party) and no event which,
with notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (as so
defined), has occurred and is continuing.
5
K. SECURITIES LAW MATTERS. The Company shall not directly or
indirectly take, and shall not permit any of its directors, officers or
Affiliates directly or indirectly to take, any action (including, without
limitation, any offering or sale to any person or entity of any security similar
to the Debenture) which will make unavailable the exemption from Securities Act
registration being relied upon by the Company for the offer and sale to Buyer of
the Debenture, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares as contemplated by
this Agreement. No form of general solicitation or advertising has been used or
authorized by the Company or any of its officers, directors or Affiliates in
connection with the offer or sale of the Debenture (and the Conversion Shares)
as contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Company is
a party.
L. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as set forth on Schedule III.L., no
---------------
Person has, and as of the Closing (as such term is hereinafter defined), no
Person shall have, any demand, "piggy-back" or other rights to cause the Company
to file any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to any of
its securities or to participate in any such registration statement.
M. INTEREST. The timely payment of interest on the Debenture is not
prohibited by the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the
Company, in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement, or any
agreement, contract, document or other undertaking to which the Company is a
party.
N. NO MISREPRESENTATION. No representation or warranty of the Company
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Documents, any schedule, annex
or exhibit hereto or thereto or any agreement, instrument or certificate
furnished by the Company to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
O. FINDER'S FEE. There is no finder's fee, brokerage commission or
like payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
for which Buyer is liable or responsible.
IV. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A. FILINGS. The Company shall make all necessary Commission Filings and
"blue sky" filings required by Rule 506 of Regulation D to be made by the
Company in connection with the sale of the Securities to Buyer as required by
all applicable Laws, and shall provide a copy thereof to Buyer promptly after
such filing. Except as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, the
foregoing shall not require the Company to register the sale of any of the
Securities under the Securities Act or any other law.
B. REPORTING STATUS. So long as Buyer beneficially owns any of the
Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed by it
with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
6
C. LISTING. Except to the extent the Company lists its Common Stock on
The New York Stock Exchange, The American Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Stock
Market or any similar national stock exchange, the Company shall use its best
efforts to maintain its listing of the Common Stock on OTCBB. If the Common
Stock is delisted from OTCBB, the Company will use its best efforts to list the
Common Stock on the most liquid national securities exchange or quotation system
that the Common Stock is qualified to be listed on.
D. RESERVED CONVERSION COMMON STOCK. The Company at all times from and
after the date hereof shall have such number of shares of Common Stock duly and
validly authorized and reserved for issuance as shall be sufficient for the
conversion in full of the Debenture and the exercise of the Conversion Warrant.
E. INFORMATION. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that
Buyer shall not be provided with, nor be given access to, any material
non-public information relating to the Company.
F. ACCOUNTING AND RESERVES. The Company shall maintain a standard and
uniform system of accounting and shall keep proper books and records and
accounts in which full, true, and correct entries shall be made of its
transactions, all in accordance with GAAP applied on consistent basis through
all periods, and shall set aside on such books for each fiscal year all such
reserves for depreciation, obsolescence, amortization, bad debts and other
purposes in connection with its operations as are required by such principles so
applied.
G. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS. So long as the Debenture is outstanding, no
dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment nor shall any other
distribution be declared or made upon any capital stock of the Company, nor
shall any capital stock of the Company be redeemed, purchased or otherwise
acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of
Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan
(including a stock option plan) of the Company or pursuant to any of the
security agreements listed on Schedule III.A, for any consideration by the
---------------
Company, directly or indirectly, nor shall any moneys be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Common Stock of any such
stock.
H. SHORT SELLING. So long as the Debenture, any portion of the Warrant,
or any right to put the stock pursuant to the Put and Call Agreement is
outstanding, Buyer agrees and covenants on its behalf and on behalf of its
affiliates that neither Buyer nor its affiliates shall at any time engage in any
short sales with respect to the Company's Common Stock, or sell put options or
similar instruments with respect to the Company's Common Stock.
V. ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
A. The Company undertakes and agrees that, except as required by law,
no instruction other than the instructions referred to in this Article V and
customary stop transfer instructions prior to the registration and sale of the
Common Stock pursuant to an effective Securities Act registration statement
shall be given to its transfer agent for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant
Shares and that, except as may be limited by the Securities Act, "blue sky" laws
7
or other applicable laws, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and
applicable law. Nothing contained in this Section V.A. shall affect in any way
Buyer's obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws
upon resale of such Common Stock.
B. Buyer shall have the right to convert the Debenture and exercise the
Warrant by telecopying an executed and completed Conversion Notice (as such term
is defined in the Debenture) or Warrant Notice of Exercise (as such term is
defined in the Warrant) to the Company. Each date on which a Conversion Notice
or Warrant Notice of Exercise is telecopied to and received by the Company in
accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (as such
term is defined in the Debenture). The Company shall cause the transfer agent to
transmit the certificates evidencing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Debenture (together with a new debenture, if any, representing the
principal amount of the Debenture not being so converted) or exercise of the
Warrant (together with a new Warrant, if any, representing the amount of the
Warrant not being so exercised) to Buyer via express courier, or if a
Registration Statement covering the Common Stock has been declared effective by
the SEC by electronic transfer, within three (3) business days after receipt by
the Company of the Conversion Notice or Warrant Notice of Exercise(the "DELIVERY
DATE").
C. Upon the conversion of the Debenture or exercise of the Warrant or
part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary
action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel) to assure that the
Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Buyer and
in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise. The Company warrants
that the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will be unlegended, free-trading,
and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or
transferability of the Company Common Stock provided the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares are being sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
covering the sale of the Common Stock to be sold or is otherwise exempt from
registration when sold and no longer "restricted" as that term is defined in
Rule 144.
D. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Common
Stock in the form required pursuant to this section, or the Mandatory Redemption
Amount described in Section E hereof, beyond the Delivery Date or Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in economic loss
to the Buyer. As compensation to the Buyer for such loss, the Company agrees to
pay late payments to the Buyer for late issuance of Common Stock in the form
required pursuant to Section C hereof upon Conversion of the Debenture or late
payment of the Mandatory Redemption Amount, in the amount of $100 per business
day after the Delivery Date or Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, as the case
may be, for each $10,000 of Debenture principal amount being converted or
redeemed. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in
immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other
remedies which may be available to the Buyer, in the event that the Company
fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Common Stock by the Delivery Date
or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Buyer will be
entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind
all or part of the notice of Mandatory
8
Redemption by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company prior to
delivery of the Common Stock whereupon the Company and the Buyer shall each be
restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such
notice, except that late payment charges described above shall not be payable.
E. Mandatory Redemption. In the event the Company is prohibited from
issuing Common Stock (except as the result of a breach of a representation or
warranty of Buyer herein), or fails to timely deliver Common Stock on a Delivery
Date, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Debenture), then at the Buyer's election, the Company must pay to the Buyer
within ten (10) business days after request by the Buyer or on the Delivery Date
(if requested by the Buyer) a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the
outstanding principal amount of the Debenture designated by the Buyer by 130%,
together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon ("Mandatory Redemption
Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Buyer on the
same date as the Company Common Stock otherwise deliverable or within ten (10)
business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment
Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding
Debenture principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.
F. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to the Buyer, if
the Company fails to deliver to the Buyer such Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a Warrant by the Delivery Date (except
as the result of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Buyer
herein) and if ten (10) days after the Delivery Date the Buyer purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Buyer of the Common Stock which the Buyer
anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall
pay in cash to the Buyer (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by
the Buyer) the amount by which (A) the Buyer's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Debenture or
Warrant for which such conversion or exercise was not timely honored, together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if the Buyer purchases
shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Debenture or
Warrant principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay the
Buyer $1,000, plus interest. The Buyer shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Buyer in respect of the Buy-In.
G. The Securities shall be delivered by the Company to the Buyer
pursuant to Section I.B. hereof on a "delivery-against-payment basis" at the
Closing.
VI. CLOSING DATE
The Closing shall occur in escrow at the offices of Xxx Xxxxxxx LLP, 00000

incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in
connection with:
1. any misrepresentation, omission of fact or breach of any of
Buyer's representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the
other Documents, or the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or thereto or
any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Documents; or
2. any failure by Buyer to perform in any material respect any of
its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this
Agreement or the other Documents or any instrument, certificate or
agreement entered into or delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or
the other Documents.
D. Promptly after receipt by either party hereto seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Article IX (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") of written
notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of
which indemnification is being sought (each, a "CLAIM"), the Indemnified Party
promptly shall notify the party against whom indemnification pursuant to this
Article IX is being sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") of the commencement
thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits
substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any
Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are
parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof.
Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal
counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying
Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such
separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the
Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and
expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall
12
have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying
Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as
reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially
differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such
Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that
are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party
or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of
time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party
employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in
clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal
counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided
above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of
legal counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local
counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle
or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not
include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities
with respect to such Claim or judgment.
E. In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for
indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a
third party, the Indemnified Party promptly shall deliver notice of such claim
to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party disputes the claim, such
dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the
procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon any
award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent
jurisdiction thereof.
X. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law
principles of such state.
XI. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION
Each of the parties hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the City of San Diego or
the state courts of the State of California sifting in the City of San Diego in
connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement and the other
Documents. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any defense of an inconvenient
forum or improper venue to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court and any right of jurisdiction on account of its place of residence or
domicile. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the
service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding in such courts
by the mailing of copies of such process by registered or certified mail (return
receipt requested), postage prepaid, at its address specified in Article XVII.
Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

XII. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (I)
CERTIFIES THAT NEITHER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT
OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS HEREIN.
XIII. COUNTERPARTS; EXECUTION
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but both of which counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile transmission
of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on both parties hereto.
XIV. HEADINGS
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall
not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
XV. SEVERABILITY
In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
or in the other Documents should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein or therein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions,
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
XVI. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; REMEDIES, AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS
This Agreement and the Documents constitute the entire agreement between
the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all
prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or
written, of such parties. No supplement, modification or waiver of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both parties. No waiver
of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a
waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such
waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
