action or proceeding brought on any of such Claims. For purposes of
this paragraph, “Claims” shall mean
all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, out-of-pocket attorney’s fees
and claims incurred by Purchaser arising from (i) any breach or default in the
performance of any obligation to be performed by the Company under this
Agreement; or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of the Company set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Claims asserted after
the Expiration Date. “Expiration Date”
means the end of the 24th month
following the Closing.
5.2. Purchaser’s
Indemnification. Purchaser hereby indemnifies the Company
against all Company Claims (as defined below) and all costs, expenses and
attorney’s fees incurred by it in the defense of any such Company Claims or any
action or proceeding brought on any of such Seller Claims. For
purposes of this paragraph, “Company Claims” shall
mean all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees and
claims incurred by Company to the extent arising solely from (i) any breach or
default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Purchaser under
this Agreement; or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Company shall not be entitled to indemnification for any Company
Claims asserted after the 24th month
following the Closing Date.
5.3. EBITDA
ADJUSTMENT. In the event that
the audited Financial Statements of U.S. Imaging reflect EBITDA of
less than $1,305,343 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the "Actual EBITDA"),
the conversion price and exercise price of the Debenture and Warrants will be
reduced by a percentage equal to the Actual EBITDA divided by
$1,305,343.
6. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS/USE
OF PROCEEDS.
6.1. If at any
time while the Warrants are outstanding (the “Piggy-Back Period”) the Company
proposes to file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, of any of its securities (other than a Registration Statement on
Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or their equivalents at such time) relating to 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), the Company shall promptly send to the Purchaser written notice
of the Company’s intention to file a Registration Statement (which notice shall
specify the securities intended to be disposed of and the intended method of
distribution thereof) and of such Purchaser’s rights under this Section and, if
within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice, such Purchaser shall
so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement
all or any part of the Shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Debenture that such Purchaser
requests to be registered; provided, however, in the event that the SEC limits
the number of share registerable as a result of Rule 415, then the Company may
reduce the number of shares that may be registered pro rata with other selling
shareholders holding derivative securities. If the offering in connection
with which the Purchaser is entitled to registration under this Section is an
underwritten offering, then the Purchaser shall, unless otherwise agreed to by
the Company, offer and sell such its securities in such underwritten offering
using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of
this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock
(if any) included in such underwritten offering. If a registration
pursuant to this Section is to be an underwritten public offering and the
managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that, in their reasonable
good faith opinion, marketing or other factors dictate that a limitation on the
number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration
Statement is necessary to facilitate and not adversely affect the proposed
offering, then the Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, all
securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account and (2) up to the
full number of shares held by the Purchaser subject to restrictions set by
the Company or the underwriter applied pro rata with other selling
shareholders.
