material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except as set forth
on
Schedule
3.1(h)
attached
hereto, the Company has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the
Securities Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC
Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in
effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”),
except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes
thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all
footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the
financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
12
(i) Material
Changes.
Since
the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC
Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed
prior
to the date hereof: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development
that
has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities
not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to
GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has
not
altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made
any
dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or
purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares
of
its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities
to
any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock
option plans. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any
request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance
of
the Securities contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule
3.1(i),
no
event, liability or development has occurred or exists with respect to the
Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, operations
or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company
under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or
deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least 1 Trading Day prior
to
the date that this representation is made.
(j) Litigation.
There
is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting
the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by
any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”)
which
(i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability
of
any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there
were
an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or
officer thereof, 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. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the
Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer
of
the Company. 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.
13
(k) 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 which could reasonably
be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s
relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and
the
Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their
employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company,
is,
or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, 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 in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
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.
(l) 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 (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is or has been in violation of any
statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without
limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business
and all such laws that affect the environment, except in each case as could
not
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(m) Regulatory
Permits.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations 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, except where the failure to possess such permits could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”),
and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings
relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title
to Assets.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to
all
real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal
property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and
the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as
do
not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and
the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes,
the
payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real
property and facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries
are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the
Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.
14
(o) Patents
and Trademarks.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property
rights and similar rights as described in the SEC Reports as necessary or
material for use in connection with their respective businesses and which the
failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
“Intellectual
Property Rights”).
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or
otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company
or
any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the
knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable
and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the
Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken
reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(p) Insurance.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
3.1(p),
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, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance
coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able
to
renew its 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 without a significant increase in cost.
(q) Transactions
with Affiliates and Employees.
Except
as set forth in the SEC Reports and on Schedule
3.1(q),
none of
the officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company,
none of the employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction
with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for 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, in each case in excess
of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for
services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the
Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements
under any stock option plan of the Company.
15
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx;
Internal Accounting Controls.
The
Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act
of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The
Company and 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 GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures 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 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, there have been no changes in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
(s) Certain
Fees.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
3.1(s),
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 the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have no
obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or
on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that
may
be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
(t) Private
Placement.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required
for
the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does
not
contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.
(u) Investment
Company.
The
Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of
payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
16
(v) Registration
Rights.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
3.1(v)
and
other than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company
to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
Company.
(w) 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, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to
the
effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to
believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance
with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(x) Application
of Takeover Protections.
The
Company and the 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 Company’s certificate of
incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of
incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
as a
result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership
of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure.
Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither
it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers
or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or
might constitute material, nonpublic information. The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure furnished
by
or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure
Schedules to this Agreement, 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 light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the
Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken
as a
whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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
and
when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser
makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in
Section 3.2 hereof.
17
(z) No
Integrated Offering.
Assuming
the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person
acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or
sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under
circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act
which
would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities
Act,
or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
on
which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
Based
on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date
after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the
sale
of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii)
the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The
Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
as
they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
on
or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization
or
liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule
3.1(aa)
sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary
has
commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means
(x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect
of
indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected
in
the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value
of
any lease payments
in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(bb) Tax
Status.
Except
for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each
Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and
franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon,
and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted
or
threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary.
18
(cc) No
General Solicitation.
Neither
the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold
any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general
advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the
Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule
501 under the Securities Act.
(dd) Foreign
Corrupt Practices.
Neither
the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person
acting on behalf of the Company, has: (i) directly or indirectly, used any
funds
for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses
related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful
payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any
foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii)
failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any
person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation
of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
(ee) Accountants.
The
Company’s accounting firm is set forth on Schedule
3.1(ee)
of the
Disclosure Schedules. 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 on Form 10-K (or
10-KSB) for the year ended December 31, 2007.
(ff) Seniority.
As of
the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior
to the Debentures in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
upon
liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by
purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets
covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to
the
property covered thereby).
(gg) No
Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.
There
are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers
formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is current with
respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers which could affect
the
Company’s ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction
Documents.
(hh) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
in
the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further
acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary
of
the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by
any
Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection
with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is
merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company
further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on
the
independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company
and its representatives.
19
(ii) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary
(except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged
by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers has been asked to agree by
the
Company, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling,
long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based
on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
term, (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser,
specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative”
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement
transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s
publicly-traded securities, (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in
“derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or
indirectly, may presently have a “short” position in the Common Stock and (iv)
each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
over
any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The
Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers
may
engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the
Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods
that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce
the
value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and
after
the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company
acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute
a
breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
(jj) Regulation
M Compliance.
The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has,
(i)
taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in
the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for,
purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the
securities of the Company, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any
compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the
Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid
to
the Company’s placement agent in connection with the placement of the
Securities.
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers.
Each
Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows:
20
(a) Organization;
Authority.
Such
Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right,
corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of
the
Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such
Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms
hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such
Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i)
as
limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to
the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may
be
limited by applicable law.
(b) Own
Account.
Such
Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have
not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and
has
no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons
to
distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal
and state securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder
in
the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status.
At the
time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date
hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts
any Debentures it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or
(ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the
Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a
broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser.
Such
Purchaser, 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 Purchaser 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.
(e) General
Solicitation.
Such
Purchaser 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.
21
(f) Short
Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof.
Other
than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has
not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant
to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales,
including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period
commencing from the time that such Purchaser 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
until the date hereof (“Discussion
Time”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a
multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage
separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no
direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Purchaser’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. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement,
such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to
it
in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction).

or
to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
in
Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the
Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement
and
shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration
Rights Agreement.
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
4.1,
of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE]
[CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN
EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO
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 AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL
TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
[EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH
A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
22
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject
to
approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense,
the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a
pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject
to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under
the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the
legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (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
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares
are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to
be
in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as
to
such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions 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). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion
to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the
Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any
portion of a Debenture is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when
there
is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying
Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144, without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then
such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees
that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent
of a
certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a
restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company
may
not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent
that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.
Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall
be
transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account
of
the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as
directed by such Purchaser.
23
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to
a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for
each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on
the
date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal
of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day 5 Trading Days after such damages have begun
to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such
certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit such
Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver
certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction
Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that
such
Purchaser 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, and acknowledges that the removal of
the
restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in
this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.
4.2 Acknowledgment
of Dilution.
The
Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial
under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation,
its
obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off,
counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution
or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other
stockholders of the Company.
24
4.3 Furnishing
of Information.
If the
Common Stock is not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
Act
on the date hereof, the Company agrees to cause the Common Stock to be
registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or before the
60th
calendar
day following the date hereof. Until the earliest of the time that no Purchaser
owns Securities, the Company covenants 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. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if
the
Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will
prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance
with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell
the
Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take
such
further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption
provided by Rule 144.
4.4 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 to the
Purchasers in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market.
4.5 Conversion
and Exercise Procedures.
Each of
the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice
of Conversion included in the Debentures set
forth
the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise
the Warrants or convert the Debentures. No additional legal opinion, other
information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise
their Warrants or convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor exercises
of
the Warrants and conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth
in
the Transaction Documents.
4.6 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity.
The
Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the (a) Trading Day
following the date hereof, file a press release disclosing the material terms
of
the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) fourth Trading Day immediately
following the date hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and including the
Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto. The Company and each Purchaser shall
consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to
the
transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser
shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release
of
any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect
to
any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which
case
the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice
of
such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the
name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency
or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except:
(a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any
registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and
(ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages
thereto) with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required
by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide
the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(b).
25
4.7 Shareholder
Rights Plan.
No
claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the
Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any
control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or
arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement,
by
virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any
other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.8 Non-Public
Information.
Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees
that
neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any
Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto
such
Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.
4.9 Use
of
Proceeds.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
4.9
attached
hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds for:
(a)
the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of
trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior
practices), (b) the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.
26
4.10 Indemnification
of Purchasers.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold
each
Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role
of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any
other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and
any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such
titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such
controlling person (each, a “Purchaser
Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any
capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder
of
the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any
of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the
Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser
which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall
promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right
to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right
to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of
such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has
been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such
separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position
of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more
than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser
Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected
without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss,
claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of
any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such
Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents.
4.11 Reservation
and Listing of Securities.
(a) The
Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common
Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then
be
required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction
Documents.
(b) If,
on
any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved)
shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then
the
Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the
Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum
at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th
day
after such date.
(c) The
Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the
principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an
additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application,
(ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter,
(iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing and (iv) maintain
the
listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum
on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market.
27
4.12 Participation
in Future Financing.
(a) From
the
date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Effective
Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common
Stock, Common Stock Equivalents, Indebtedness (or a combination of units hereof)
(a “Subsequent
Financing”),
each
Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the
Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the
“Participation
Maximum”)
on the
same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
(b) At
least
5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company
shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect
a
Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”),
which
Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such
financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”).
Upon
the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for
a
Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
1
Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such
Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended
to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such
Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet
or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
(c) Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time)
on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser
is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing,
and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing
Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such
5th
Trading
Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does
not elect to participate.
(d) If
by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
by
the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing
(or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than
the
total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the
remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons
set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
28
(e) If
by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking
to
purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each
such
Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined
below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro
Rata Portion”
means
the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing
Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of
the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by
all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.
(f) The
Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above
in
this Section 4.12, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent
Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in
such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the
initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.12 shall not apply in respect of (i) an Exempt
Issuance, or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock.
4.13 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From
the
date hereof until 45 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor
any
Subsidiary shall issue (or enter into any agreement, discussions or letter
of
intent to issue) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided,
however,
the 45
day period set forth in this Section 4.13 shall be extended for the number
of
Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is
suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) following the Effective Date, the
Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement may not be used by the Purchasers for the resale of
the
Underlying Shares.
(b) From
the
date hereof until the earlier of (x) the date the Debentures are no longer
outstanding or (y) the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company
shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect
any
Subsequent Financing involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable
Rate Transaction”
means
a
transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity
securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at
a
conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based
upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of
Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject
to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt
or
equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market
for
the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited
to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a
future determined price.
29
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance.
4.14 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers.
No
consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) 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 Documents unless the same consideration
is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. Further,
the
Company shall not make any payment of principal or interest on the Debentures
in
amounts which are disproportionate to the respective principal amounts
outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable time. For clarification
purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser
by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended
for
the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be
construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to
the
purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.15 Short
Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof.
Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it, will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing
at the Discussion Time and ending at such time the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section
4.6.
Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will
maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
and
the information included in the Transaction Documents and the Disclosure
Schedules. Each Purchaser severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser
acknowledges the positions of the Commission as set forth in Item 65, Section
A,
of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced as described in Section 4.6; provided,
however,
each
Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly with any other Purchasers, that
they
will not enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the earlier of
(x)
the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date or (y) the date that such Purchaser
no longer holds any Debentures. For purposes of this Section 4.15, a
“Net
Short Sale”
by
any
Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked
as
a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent offsetting
long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes of
determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting long position in Common
Stock held by the Purchaser, Underlying Shares that have not yet been converted
pursuant to the Debentures and Warrant Shares that have not yet been exercised
pursuant to the Warrants shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser,
and
the amount of shares of Common Stock held in a long position shall be all
unconverted Underlying Shares and unexercised Warrant Shares (ignoring any
exercise limitations included therein) issuable to such Purchaser on such date,
plus any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents otherwise then
held
by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers
manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers
have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio
managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set
forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed
by
the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the
Securities covered by this Agreement.
30
4.16 Form
D; Blue Sky Filings.
The
Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as
required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request
of any Purchaser. The Company shall 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 Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Purchaser.
4.17 Capital
Changes.
Until
such time that the Debentures are no longer outstanding, the Company shall
not
undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common
Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding 75% of the
principal amount outstanding of the Debentures.
4.18 Secured
Obligation.
As an
inducement for the Purchasers to purchase the Debentures and to secure the
complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as the case
may
be, of all of the obligations of the Company under the Debentures, the Company
and each Subsidiary, unconditionally and irrevocably pledges, grants and
hypothecates to the Purchasers a continuing and perfected security interest
in
and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their respective
right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to, all of the
assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The parties acknowledge and agree
that the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, including
but not limited to the Debentures, are subject to the security interest granted
by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement, by
and
among the Company, its Subsidiaries and the secured parties thereto and that
such obligations are “Obligations” under such Security Agreement. The Company
and the Subsidiaries shall take any and all actions requested by the Purchasers
in order to grant the Purchasers a first priority security interest in the
assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including all UCC-1 filing receipts.
Purchasers acknowledge that Enable Growth Partners, L.P., the Agent under the
Security Agreement, shall continue to act as such and shall act for all
Purchasers under the Lekach Guarantee as Agent under the same terms as under
the
Security Agreement.
4.19 Ratification
of Security Interest and Subsidiary Guarantee.
As an inducement for the Purchasers to extend the loans as evidenced by the
Debentures and to secure the complete and timely payment, performance and
discharge in
full,
as
the case may be, of all of the Debenture Obligations (as defined below), the
Company and each Subsidiary hereby acknowledge and ratify that, pursuant to
the
Security Agreement, dated November 29, 2007, by and among the Company, the
Subsidiaries and the secured creditors signatory thereto (the “Security
Agreement”),
the
Company and each Subsidiary hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acknowledges
and ratifies the pledge, grant and hypothecation to the Purchasers of a security
interest in and to, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of their
respective right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to,
the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement). The parties
acknowledge and confirm that such security agreement is subject to the terms
of
the Security Agreement and the definition of “Obligations” under the Security
Agreement includes, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the
Debentures and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other
fees,
indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Debtors (as defined
under
the Security Agreement) from time to time under or in connection with this
Agreement, the Debentures, the Guarantee (as defined under the Security
Agreement) and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed
and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) all amounts
(including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the
foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay
such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Debtor (the
“Debenture
Obligations”).
Additionally, each Guarantor (as defined under the Security Agreement) hereby
acknowledges and confirms that “Obligations” under the Subsidiary Guarantee,
dated November 29, 2007 (the “Subsidiary
Guarantee”),
includes, without limitation, the Debenture Obligations.
31
4.20 November
Purchase Agreement Waivers.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereunder, each Purchaser, in its capacity as a
purchaser under the November Purchase Agreement and constituting 100% in
interest of the purchasers under the November Purchase Agreement, hereby waives
the restrictions set forth in Section 4.13(a) of the November Purchase
Agreement, Sections 7(a), 7(b), 7(d) and 7(h) of the November Debentures,
Section 6(b) of the November Registration Rights Agreement and Section 4(b)
of

MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s
obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other
parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before February 28,
2008;
provided,
however,
that
such termination will not affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach
by
the other party (or parties).
32
5.2 Fees
and Expenses.
At the
Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Enable Capital Management, LLC
(“Enable”)
the
non-accountable sum of $30,000 for its legal fees and expenses, $15,000 of
which
has been paid prior to the Closing. The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser,
prior to the Closing, a completed and executed copy of the Closing Statement
attached hereto as Annex
A.
Except
as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party
shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other
experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to
the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes
and
duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the
Purchasers.
5.3 Entire
Agreement.
The
Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written,
with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged
into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.4 Notices.
Any and
all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to
be
provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective
on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth
on
the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time)
on a
Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers.
No
provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company and the Purchasers of at least 67% in interest of the Securities still
held by Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom
enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. 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 any party to exercise any right hereunder in
any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.6 Headings.
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.
5.7 Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign
any
or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser
assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in
writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the
“Purchasers.”
33
5.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set
forth
in Section 4.10.
5.9 Governing
Law, Arbitration.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in
accordance with, and any dispute between the parties relating to or arising
from
the Transaction Documents shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State
of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
Each
party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and
any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or
its
respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents),
as well as any dispute between the parties relating to the Transaction
Documents, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California
before an arbitrator with experience in commercial disputes relating to
securities. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its
Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or, if for any reason JAMS
refuses to administer such arbitration or JAMS is no longer in business, by
the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules and
procedures. Unless the arbitrator determines that there is exceptional need
for
additional discovery, discovery in the arbitration shall be limited as
follows: (1) the parties shall exchange non-privileged relevant
documents including, without limitation, all documents that the parties intend
to use as evidence in the arbitration; and (2) each party shall
be entitled to take one deposition of seven hours duration of
either an opposing party or a non-party. If one party fails to respond within
20
days after the other party mails a written list of proposed arbitrators to
that
party by either agreeing to one of the proposed arbitrators or suggesting 3
or
more alternate arbitrators, the proposing party may select the arbitrator from
among its initial list of proposed arbitrators and JAMS (or AAA if it is
administering the arbitration) shall then appoint that arbitrator to preside
over the arbitration. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator,
the parties shall select an arbitrator pursuant to the rules of JAMS (or AAA
if
it is administering the arbitration). Where reasonable, the arbitrator
shall schedule the arbitration hearing within four (4) months after being
appointed. The arbitrator must render a decision in writing, explaining the
legal and factual basis for decision as to each of the principal controverted
issues. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding upon the
parties. A judgment upon any award may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking
provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, such as injunctive relief, from
any
court of competent jurisdiction. Each
party shall be responsible for advancing one-half of the costs of arbitration,
including all JAMS (or AAA) fees; provided that, in the award, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover all of its costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitrator fees, JAMS (or AAA) fees and
costs, and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in compelling arbitration.
The parties are not waiving, and expressly reserve, any rights they may
have under federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, and any such rights
shall be determined in the arbitration provided for herein. Each party hereby
irrevocably agrees and submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state
courts located in the City of San Francisco, California, for any suit, action
or
proceeding enforcing this arbitration provision or entering judgment upon any
arbitral award made pursuant to this arbitration provision, and each party
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of
such courts, or that such suit, action or proceeding is an inconvenient venue.
Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents
to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted
by
law. This provision will be interpreted, construed and governed according to
the
Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq.).
34
5.10 Survival.
The
representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and the delivery of
the
Securities for the applicable statute of limitations.
5.11 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 or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability.
If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court
of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may
be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any
Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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; provided,
however,
that in
the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a
Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock
subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice.
35
5.14 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 (in the case of mutilation),
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. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under
such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including
customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement
Securities.
5.15 Remedies.
In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company
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 contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser 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.
5.17 Usury.
To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon
or
plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to
be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action
or
proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right
or
remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and
provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents
for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful
rate
authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by
applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of
the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to
indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be
applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Purchaser’s election.
36
5.18 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and
not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations
of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein
or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FWS.
FWS
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Enable. The Company has
elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents
for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested
to do so by the Purchasers.
5.19 Liquidated
Damages.
The
Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts
owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company
and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security
pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due
and
payable shall have been canceled.
5.20 Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If
the
last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action
may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business
Day.
5.21 Construction.
The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed
and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
5.22 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.
IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY
AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
