or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not

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

made.
12
(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.
(k) 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.
(l) 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.
(m) 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.
13
(n) 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.
(o) Insurance. 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.
(p) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, 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.
14
(q) 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.
(r) Certain
Fees. 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.
(s) 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.
(t) 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.
(u) Registration
Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(v), no
Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company accept as previously disclosed
in the Company’s SEC filings.
15
(v) 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.
(w) 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.
(x) 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, non-public 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.
(y) 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
Shares 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.
16
(z) 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.
(aa) 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.
(bb) 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.
(cc) 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 for the year
ending December 31, 2009.
(dd) 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 which could affect the Company’s ability to perform any of its
obligations under any of the Transaction Documents, and the Company is current
with respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers.
(ee) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchaser’s Purchase of Shares. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that the Purchaser 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 the
Purchaser is not 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 the Purchaser or any
of the Purchasser’s representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares. The Company further represents to
the 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.
17
(ff) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or
elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(f) and
4.15 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) the
Purchaser has not been asked to agree by the Company, nor has the 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 Shares 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) the
Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which the
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, may presently have a “short”
position in the Common Stock and (iv) the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have
any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any
“derivative” transaction.
(gg) 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 Shares,
(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 Shares.
(hh) Stock Option Plans.
Each stock option granted by the Company under the Company’s stock option plan
was granted (i) in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plan
and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date such stock option would be considered granted under
GAAP and applicable law. No stock option granted under the Company’s stock
option plan has been backdated. The Company has not knowingly

grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of
stock options with, the release or other public announcement of material
information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or their financial results
or prospects.
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 each of the Closing Dates to the Company as follows:
(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.
18
(b) Own
Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for
its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such
Shares 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
Shares 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 Shares (this
representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the
Shares 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 Shares hereunder in the ordinary
course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it
was, and as of the date hereof it is, 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 Shares, 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 Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford
a complete loss of such investment.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a
result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding
the Shares 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.
(f) Short Sales and
Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof. Other than
consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not,
nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with
such Purchaser, directly or indirectly 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 Shares 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).
19
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant
to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company 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 Shares 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 and shall have the rights of
a Purchaser under this 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 Shares in the following form:
THIS
SECURITY 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 MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN
WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE
501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH
SECURITIES.
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 Shares 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, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may
transfer pledged or secured Shares 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 Shares may reasonably request in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares.
20
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the
resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following
any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such 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 if required by the Transfer Agent to
effect the removal of the legend hereunder. The Company agrees that
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 Shares 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 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.
(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 Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such
Shares 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 five (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 Shares 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 Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Shares are sold pursuant to
an effective 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 Shares as set forth in this
Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this
understanding.
21
4.2 Furnishing of Information;
Public Information.
(a) 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 time that no Purchaser owns
Shares, the Company covenants to 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 Shares, 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
Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any holder of Shares may reasonably request, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Shares without
registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption
provided by Rule 144.
(b) At any
time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date
hereof and ending at such time that all of the Shares may be sold without the
requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company
shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement
under Rule 144(c) (a “Public Information
Failure”) then, 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, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to

Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Shares on the day of a Public
Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day
(pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the
earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such
time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers

relief.

Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with
the offer or sale of the Shares to the Purchasers for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder

transaction.

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 Shares under the Transaction Documents or
under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.6 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

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.

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 persons (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.
4.9 Reservation of Common
Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company
shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
4.10 Listing
of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the
listing of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably
practicable following the First Closing (but not later than the first
anniversary of the First Closing Date) to list all of the Shares on such Trading
Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common
Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such
application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
to cause all of the Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly
as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably
necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading
Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.

platform along with all relevant functions that allow it to independently sell
ads (the “Support Period”) These direct costs will include, and not

on the Initial Closing Date and continuing for a period of thirty (30) calendar
days, the Company will provide the Purchaser with support services (the “Support
Period”). Upon the expiration of the Support Period, the
Purchaser and the Company will mutually decide to either (1) enter into a
support agreement whereby the Purchaser would pay the Company $6.50 per
user/customer in exchange for managing the back-end operations, with a reduction
in incremental cost to $4.00 per user/customer upon the Purchaser reaching
50,001 users or (2) the Company will train employees compensated by the

waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is

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.
26
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

courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and 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 any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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

proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred

Shares for the applicable statute of limitations.

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.
27
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.
5.14 Replacement of
Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares
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 Shares.
5.15 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the 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.
28
5.17 Reserved.
5.18 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.
5.19 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.
5.20 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.
5.21 WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE
