REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
Section
2.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Company.
The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor, as of the date hereof
and the date of the Closing hereunder (except as set forth on the Schedule of
Exceptions attached hereto with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the
section number herein), as follows:
(a) Organization, Good Standing
and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate
its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being
conducted. The Company does not have any direct or indirect
Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any
other entity except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g)
hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as defined in Section
2.1(g)) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or
limited partnership to do business and is in good standing in every other
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by
it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or
in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of
this Agreement, “Material Adverse
Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations,
properties or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken
together as a whole) and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would
prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents in any material respect.
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company and the Subsidiaries (as applicable)
have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this
Agreement, the Note, the Warrants, the Security Agreement by and between the
Company and the Investor dated as of the Closing Date, substantially in the form
of Exhibit C
attached hereto (the “Security Agreement”)
the Officer’s Certificate to be delivered by the Company, dated as of the
Closing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached
hereto (the “Officer’s
Certificate”), the Patent Security Agreement by and among the Company,
the Subsidiaries and the Investor, substantially in the form of Exhibit B,
2
attached
to the Security Agreement (together with any Copyright Security Agreement or
Trademark Security Agreement subsequently entered into by the Company or any
Subsidiary and the Investor pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement,
collectively, the “IP
Security Agreements”), the guarantee (“Guarantee”) to be
delivered by each of the Subsidiaries, dated as of the date hereof,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E, the
Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, dated as of the date hereof,
substantially in the form of Exhibit
F and the Stock Transfer Agreement, between the Company and
the Investor, dated as of the Closing Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached
hereto (the “Stock
Transfer Agreement”) (collectively, together with this Agreement, the
Note and the Warrants the “Transaction
Documents”) and to issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the
terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no
further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors,
stockholders or any other third party is required. When executed and
delivered by the Company and the Subsidiaries, each of the Transaction Documents
shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization. The
authorized capital stock and the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Company as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(i)
hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and any
other outstanding security of the Company have been duly and validly
authorized. Except as set forth in this Agreement, or as set forth on
Schedule
2.1(c)(ii) hereto, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of the
Company are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are
no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights
convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the
Company. Furthermore, except as set forth in this Agreement and as
set forth on Schedule
2.1(c)(iii) hereto, there are no contracts, commitments, understandings,
or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of the capital stock of the Company or options, securities or rights
convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as
provided on Schedule
2.1(c)(iv) hereto, the Company is not a party to or bound by any
agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any
person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(v),
the Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or
understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital
stock of the Company.
(d) Issuance of
Securities. The Note and the Warrant have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for or issued in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Note shall be validly issued and outstanding, free
and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any
kind. When the Warrant Shares are issued
3
and paid
for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and as set forth in the
Warrant, such shares will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind and the holders
shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common
Stock.
(e) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Transaction Documents by the Company, the performance by the Company of its
obligations under the Note and the consummation by the Company and the
Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the
issuance of the Securities as contemplated hereby, do not and will not (i)
violate or conflict with any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated
Articles of Organization (the “Articles of
Organization”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as
amended to date, or any Subsidiary’s comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ respective properties or assets are bound,
(iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute,
rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries are bound or affected, or (iv) create or impose a lien, mortgage,
security interest, charge or encumbrance of any nature on any property or asset
of the Company or its Subsidiaries under any agreement or any commitment to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which any of their respective
properties or assets are bound, except, in all cases, for such conflicts,
defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect
(other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal
and state securities laws)). Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or
regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing
or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to
execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents or issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof
(other than any filings, consents and approvals which may be required to be made
by the Company under applicable state and federal securities laws, rules or
regulations). The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not
being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or regulations of any
governmental entity.
(f) Commission Documents,
Financial Statements. The Common Stock of the Company is
registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and
the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents required to be filed by it with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) pursuant
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing
including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as
the “Commission
Documents”). Each
4
Commission
Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and
other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such
documents, and the Commission Documents did not, as of their respective filing
dates, 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,
not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial
statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents complied as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise
indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case
of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or
may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of 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 year-end audit
adjustments).
(g) Subsidiaries. Schedule 2.1(g)
hereto sets forth each Subsidiary of the Company, showing the jurisdiction of
its incorporation or organization and showing the percentage of each person’s
ownership of the outstanding stock or other interests of such
Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” shall
mean any corporation or other entity of which at least 50% of the securities or
other ownership interest having ordinary voting power (absolutely or
contingently) for the election of directors or other persons performing similar
functions are at the time owned directly or indirectly by the Company and/or any
of its other Subsidiaries. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are
fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g)
hereto, there are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights,
options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any
Subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any
Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or
evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital
stock. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any
obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or
retire any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible
securities, rights, warrants or options of the type described in the preceding
sentence except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g)
hereto. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is party to, nor has
any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares
of the capital stock of any Subsidiary. Each subsidiary is duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) and
has the requisite corporate or other power to own, lease and operate its
properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being
conducted.
(h) No Material Adverse
Change. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents or on
Schedule 2.1(h) hereto, since September 30, 2008, the Company has not
experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect.
5
(i) No Undisclosed
Liabilities. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(i)
hereto, since September 30, 2008, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses
(whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued,
contingent or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the
Company’s or its Subsidiaries respective businesses or which, individually or in
the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(j) No Undisclosed Events or
Circumstances. Since September 30, 2008, except as disclosed
on Schedule
2.1(j) hereto, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses,
properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under
applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement
by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or
disclosed.
(k) Indebtedness. Schedule 2.1(k)
hereto 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”
shall mean, with respect to any Person, (a) all obligations for borrowed money,
(b) all obligations evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes, or other similar
instruments and all reimbursement or other obligations in respect of letters of
credit, bankers acceptances, current swap agreements, interest rate hedging
agreements, interest rate swaps, or other financial products, (c) all capital
lease obligations that exceed $50,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year, (d)
all obligations or liabilities secured by a lien or encumbrance on any asset of
such Person, irrespective of whether such obligation or liability is assumed,
(e) all obligations for the deferred purchase price of assets, together with
trade debt and other accounts payable that exceed $50,000 in the aggregate in
any fiscal year, (f) all synthetic leases, (g) all obligations with respect to
redeemable stock and redemption or repurchase obligations under any capital
stock or other equity securities issued by such Person, (h) all reimbursement
obligations and other liabilities of such Person with respect to surety bonds
(whether bid, performance or otherwise), letters of credit, banker’s
acceptances, drafts or similar documents or instruments issued for such Person’s
account, (i) indebtedness of any partnership or joint venture in which such
Person is a general partner or a joint venturer to the extent such Person is
liable therefore as a result of such Person’s ownership interest in such entity,
except to the extent that the terms of such indebtedness expressly provide that
such Person is not liable therefore or such Person has no liability therefore as
a matter of law, (j) trade debt and other account payables which remain unpaid
more than one hundred (100) days past the invoice date, and (k) any obligation
guaranteeing or intended to guarantee (whether directly or indirectly
guaranteed, endorsed, co-made, discounted or sold with recourse) any of the
foregoing obligations of any other Person; provided, however, Indebtedness shall
not include (I) usual and customary trade debt and other accounts payable
incurred in the ordinary course of business less than one hundred (100) days
past the invoice date and (II) endorsements for collection or deposit in the
ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is in default with respect to any Indebtedness. “Person” means any
individual, sole proprietorship, joint venture, partnership, corporation,
limited liability company,
6
association,
joint-stock company, unincorporated organization, cooperative, trust, estate,
governmental entity or any other entity of any kind or nature
whatsoever.
(l) Title to
Assets. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries
has good and valid title to all of its real and personal property reflected in
the Commission Documents, free and clear of any mortgages, pledges, charges,
liens, security interests or other encumbrances, except for those indicated on
Schedule 2.1(l)
hereto. Any leases of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are
valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. Pursuant to, and
upon execution and delivery of, the Security Agreement and any applicable IP
Security Agreements, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have granted to the
Investor a perfected, first priority security interest in substantially all of
the assets of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
(m) Actions
Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending
or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2.1(m)
hereto, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate
dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or
any of their respective properties or assets, which individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected, if adversely determined, to have a
Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments,
injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or
regulatory body against the Company or any Subsidiary or any officers or
directors of the Company or Subsidiary in their capacities as such, which
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Compliance with
Law. The business of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been
and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal,
state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except
such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have all franchises, permits, licenses,
consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals
necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless
the failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other
governmental or regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(o) Taxes. The
Company and each of the Subsidiaries has accurately prepared and filed (or
validly extended) all federal, state and other tax returns required by law to be
filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes shown to
be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are
reflected in the financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries for
all current taxes and other charges to which the Company or any Subsidiary is
subject and which are not currently due and payable. Except as
disclosed on Schedule
2.1(o) hereto, none of the federal
7
income
tax returns of the Company or any Subsidiary have been audited by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Company has no knowledge of any additional
assessments, adjustments or contingent tax liability (whether federal or state)
of any nature whatsoever, whether pending or threatened against the Company or
any Subsidiary for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment,
adjustment or contingency.
(p) Disclosure. Except
for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company confirms that
neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor
or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might
constitute material, nonpublic information. To the Company’s
knowledge, neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other
documents, certificates or instruments furnished to the Investor by or on behalf
of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, taken together as a whole, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.
(q) Environmental
Compliance. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
obtained all approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders
and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or
from any other person, that are required under any Environmental
Laws. “Environmental Laws”
shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection of the environment
including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting,
licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or remediating emissions,
discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical
substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes,
whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface water,
groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous
substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances,
material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in

under all Environmental Laws as necessary for the Company’s business or the
business of any of its subsidiaries. To the Company’s knowledge, the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries are also in compliance with all other
limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, requirements, schedules and
timetables required or imposed under all Environmental Laws. Except
for such instances as would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect, there are no past or present events, conditions, circumstances,
incidents, actions or omissions relating to or in any way affecting the Company
or its Subsidiaries that violate or may violate any Environmental Law after the
Closing Date or that may give rise to any environmental liability, or otherwise
form the basis of any claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study or
investigation (i) under any Environmental Law, or (ii) based on or related to
the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage (including
without limitation underground storage tanks), disposal, transport or handling,
or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any hazardous

(r) Books and Records; Internal
Accounting Controls. The records and documents of the Company
and its Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the information
relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the location and
collection of their assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to
the obligations or accounts receivable of the Company or any Subsidiary. 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 its
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) Material
Agreements. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have
performed all obligations required to be performed by them to date under any
written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or
arrangement, filed or required to be filed with the Commission (the “Material
Agreements”). Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice
of default under any Material Agreement, which has not been waived or
cured. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s)
hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently in default
under any Material Agreement now in effect.
(t) Transactions with
Affiliates. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(t) hereto or in the
Commission Documents, there are no loans, leases, agreements, contracts, royalty
agreements, management contracts or arrangements or other continuing
transactions between (a) the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective
customers or suppliers on the one hand, and (b) on the other hand, any officer,
employee, consultant or director of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or
any person owning at least 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or
any Subsidiary or any member of the
9
immediate
family of such officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder or any
corporation or other entity controlled by such officer, employee, consultant,
director or stockholder, or a member of the immediate family of such officer,
employee, consultant, director or stockholder which, in each case, is required
to be disclosed in the Commission Documents or in the Company’s most recently
filed definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, that is not so disclosed in
the Commission Documents or in such proxy statement.
(u) Securities Act of
1933. The Company has complied and will comply with all
applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the offer,
issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder. Neither the Company
nor anyone acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly, has or will sell, offer
to sell or solicit offers to buy any of the Securities or similar securities to,
or solicit offers with respect thereto from, or enter into any negotiations
relating thereto with, any person, or has taken or will take any action so as to
bring the issuance and sale of any of the Securities under the registration
provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and
neither the Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or
their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in
connection with the offer or sale of any of the Securities. The
Company is not, and has never been, a company described in Rule 144(i)(1) under
the Securities Act, and is a “reporting issuer” as described in Rule 144(c)(1)
under the Securities Act. Neither the Company, nor any of its
directors, officers or controlling persons, has taken or will, in violation of
applicable law, take, any action designed to or that might reasonably be
expected to cause or result in, or which has constituted, stabilization or
manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale
of the securities issued or issuable in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereunder.

the Company nor any Subsidiary has any collective bargaining arrangements or
agreements covering any of its employees, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(v)

non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement, or any other similar
contract or restrictive covenant, relating to the right of any officer, employee
or consultant to be employed or engaged by the Company or such Subsidiary
required to be disclosed in the Commission Documents that is not so
disclosed. No officer, consultant or key employee of the Company or

the knowledge of the Company, has any present intention of terminating his or
her employment or engagement with the Company or any Subsidiary.

Company Act and Investment Company Act Status. The Company is
not a “holding company” or a “public utility company” as such terms are defined
in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended. The
Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing will not be,
an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
(z) ERISA. No
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been incurred with
respect to any Plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is or would
be materially adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the
Securities will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions
of Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”) or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As
used in this Section 2.1(z), the term “Plan” shall mean an “employee pension
benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3 of ERISA) which is or has been
established or maintained, or to which contributions are or have been made, by

common control, as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code.
(aa) No Integrated
Offering. 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 the offering of the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes
of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the
Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities
Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor
will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or
steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with
other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement
pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review and
except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(aa) hereto, since
January 1, 2008, the Company has not offered or sold any of its equity
securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock.
(bb) Dilutive
Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that its
obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant in
accordance with this Agreement and the Warrant, is absolute and unconditional
regardless of the dilutive
12
effect
that such issuance may have on the ownership interest of other stockholders of
the Company.
(cc) DTC
Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(cc) hereto, the
Company’s transfer agent is a participant in and the Common Stock is eligible

Approvals. Except for the filing of any notice prior or
subsequent to the Closing that may be required under applicable state and/or

registration with any court or governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary
for, or in connection with, the execution or delivery of the Note and the
Warrant, or for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.

with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company and such
Subsidiaries will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith
upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have
attached as security therefor.
Section
3.22 Corporate
Existence.
The
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full
force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all licenses
and other rights to use property owned or possessed by it and reasonably deemed
to be necessary to the conduct of its business; provided, however,
that the Company may dissolve or cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to merge
or consolidate with the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries, provided, that if any
such consolidation or merger involves the Company, then the Company must be the
survivor of such consolidation or merger.
Section
3.23 Maintenance of
Assets.
So long
as the Note remains outstanding or the Investor has any obligation (contingent
or otherwise) to advance funds hereunder, the Company shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, keep its properties in good repair, working order and
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all
necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements
thereto.
Section
3.24 No
Investments.
The
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, make or suffer to
exist any Investments or commitments therefor, other than Investments made in
the ordinary course of business. “Investment” means,
with respect to any Person, all investments (by capital contribution or
otherwise) in any other Person, or any extension of credit, loan, advance,
purchase or repurchase of stock or other ownership interest, any Indebtedness or
all or a substantial part of the assets or property of any Person, bonds, notes,
debentures or other securities, or otherwise, and whether existing on the date
of this Agreement or thereafter made, but such term shall not include the cash
surrender value of life insurance policies on the lives of officers or
employees, excluding amounts due from customers for services or products
delivered or sold in the ordinary course of business.
Section
3.25 Opinions.
For so
long as the Investor holds any Securities, the Company will provide, at the
Company’s expense, such legal opinions in the future as are reasonably necessary
for the issuance and resale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 or an
exemption from registration. In the event that Common Stock is sold
in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will
promptly instruct its counsel (at its expense) to issue to the transfer
agent
19
an
opinion permitting removal of the legend (indefinitely, if more than one year
has elapsed from the Closing Date, or to permit sale of the shares if pursuant
to the other provisions of Rule 144).
Section
3.26 Acquisition of
Assets.
In the
event the Company or any Subsidiary acquires any assets or other properties,
without limiting or impairing the limitations set forth in Section 3.24 above,
such assets or properties shall constitute a part of the Collateral (as defined
in the Security Agreement) and the Company shall take all action necessary to
perfect the Investor’s security interest in such assets or
properties.
Section
3.27 Registration
Rights.
If the
Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration
statement (a “Registration
Statement”) relating to an offering for its own account or the account of
others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act), or their
then equivalents, relating to equity securities to be issued solely in
connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities
issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then
the Company shall send to the Investor a written notice of such determination
and, if within 20 days after the date of such notice, the Investor shall so
request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all
or any part of the Warrant Shares as the Investor requests to be registered so
long as such Warrant Shares are proposed to be disposed in the same manner as
those set forth in the Registration Statement. If the Company is
advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the securities
being offered pursuant to any Registration Statement under this Section 3.27
that, because of marketing considerations, the number of shares to be sold by
Persons other than the Company is greater than the number of such shares that
can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the Company may reduce
pro rata the number of shares offered for the accounts of such Persons (based
upon the number of shares requested by each such Person to be included in the
registration) to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing
underwriter. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause any
Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as
is possible following it being filed with the Commission (provided, however,
that the Company shall have the right to terminate, postpone or delay any
registration made under this Section 3.27 without any obligation to the
Investor) and to remain effective until all Warrant Shares subject thereto have
been sold or may be sold without limitations as to volume or the availability of
current public information under Rule 144. All fees and expenses
incident to the performance of or compliance with this Section 3.27 by the
Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Warrant Shares are sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Investor, the officers, directors, members, partners,
agents, brokers, investment advisors and employees of the Investor, each person
who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, members,
shareholders, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as
incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
20
Statement,
any prospectus included therein or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with
the performance of its obligations under this Section 3.27, except to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions
referred to in (1) above are based solely upon information regarding the
Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use
therein. The Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers, investment advisors and
employees of the Company, each person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and
employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of
or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included therein or any
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged
omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue
statements or omissions referred to in (1) above are based solely upon
information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the
Investor expressly for use therein, or (2) any violation or alleged violation by
the Investor of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities
law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of
its obligations under this Section 3.27.

pursuant to a blocked account agreement with such depository institution in form
and substance satisfactory to Investor, such account to be free and clear of any
Liens other than Liens in favor of Investor (the
21
“Blocked
Account”). Until the Note and all obligations of the Company
hereunder have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Investor shall have
sole dominion and control over the Blocked Account and the Company shall have no
right of access to or withdrawal from the Blocked Account. If,
notwithstanding the prior sentence, Investor shall, in its sole discretion,
permit the Company, following the Company’s request, to have access to the
Blocked Account and maintain less than the Minimum Balance therein, the
Investor, as a condition thereto and in addition to any other conditions that
the Investor may then establish, may require the Company to engage in a sale
process satisfactory to the Investor in its sole discretion, including, without
limitation, conditions, timing and milestones which may be established by the
Investor, including, without limitation, the engagement of a third party
investment banker acceptable to the Investor in its sole and absolute
discretion.
Section
3.31 Inspection. The
Company, upon reasonable notice, shall permit Investor and its duly authorized
representatives or agents to visit any of the Company’s properties and inspect
any of its assets or books and records, to examine and make copies of its books
and records and to discuss its affairs, finances, technology and accounts with,
and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and employees at such
reasonable times and intervals as Investor may designate.

Payable. The Company will pay its accounts payable in the
ordinary course, consistent with past practices and not allow the average age,

hundred (100) days past due.

Directors. By December 31, 2008, the Company shall cause the
resignation of two members from the Board of Directors of the Company and will

INDEMNIFICATION
Section
6.1 General
Indemnity.
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor (and its directors,
officers, members, partners, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from
and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and
disbursements) incurred by the Investor as a result of any inaccuracy in or
breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company
herein.
Section
6.2 Indemnification
Procedure.
Any party
entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will
give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a
claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to
indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought
against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and,
unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of
interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such
action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the
indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the
indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a
claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of
receipt of any indemnification
26
notice to
notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise,
at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues
its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified
party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such
action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying
party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such
claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising
out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or
proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The
indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or
claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully
apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects
to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled
to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and
expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written
consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary,
the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written
consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in
respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or
which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations
to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was
not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the
indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the
law.

the state of New York. The Company and the Investor consent to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof 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 in this Section 7.2

by law. The Company and the Investor hereby agree that the prevailing
party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the
Securities, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be entitled
to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing
