Each Buyer represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, that:

 

(a)           Investment Purpose.  Each Buyer is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act.  Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.

 

(b)           Accredited Investor Status.  Each Buyer is an “Accredited Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D.

 

(c)           Reliance on Exemptions.  Each Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 


 

(d)           Information.  Each Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding his purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by such Buyer.  Each Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.  Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk.  Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.  Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

 

(e)           No Governmental Review.  Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities, or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

(f)            Transfer or Resale.  Each Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that the Buyer is not an affiliate of the Company and that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”), in each case following the applicable holding period set forth therein; (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

 

(g)           Legends.  Each Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 2(g), of a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE

 


 

SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, 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 SEC).  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of a Registration Statement if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  If all or any portion of the Warrants are exercised by a Buyer that is not an Affiliate of the Company (a “Non-Affiliated Buyer”) at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant 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 2(g), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by a Non-Affiliated Buyer to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Non-Affiliated Buyer 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 any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.  Each Buyer acknowledges that the Company’s agreement hereunder to remove all legends from Warrant Shares is not an affirmative statement or representation that such Warrant Shares are freely tradable.  Each Buyer, severally and not jointly with the other Buyers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3(g) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

 

(h)           Authorization, Enforcement.  This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

 


 

reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

 

(i)            Receipt of Documents.  Each Buyer and his or its counsel has received and read in their entirety:  (i) this Agreement and each representation, warranty and covenant set forth herein and the Transaction Documents (as defined herein); (ii) all due diligence and other information necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of such representations, warranties and covenants; (iii) the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007; (iv) the Company’s Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2007, October 31, 2007 and January 31, 2008 and (v) answers to all questions each Buyer submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company; and each Buyer has relied on the information contained therein and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.

 

(j)            Due Formation of Corporate and Other Buyers.  If the Buyer(s) is a corporation, trust, partnership or other entity that is not an individual person, it has been formed and validly exists and has not been organized for the specific purpose of purchasing the Securities and is not prohibited from doing so.

 

(k)           No Legal Advice From the Company.  Each Buyer acknowledges, that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with his or its own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors.  Each Buyer is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

 

(l)            YA Global, a Buyer hereunder and the holder of Debentures CCP-3, CCP-4, CCP-5 and CCP-2007-1 and certain warrants issued in connection therewith, hereby consents to the transactions contemplated hereby and represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge, the completion of the transactions hereby will not violate, constitute a default under, or constitute an event that may create a default under any of such instruments, or create an event that will result in a dilution adjustment to any of such instruments except as contemplated in the Debenture Amendments.

5.     COVENANTS.

 

(a)           Best Efforts.  Each party shall use its best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement.

(c)           Reporting Status.  With a view to making available to the Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyer to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, and as a material inducement to the Buyer’s purchase of the Securities, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:

 

(i)            The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports;
