The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business or financial condition of the Company, or (iii) adversely impair the Company's ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a "Material Adverse Effect").

Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, assuming the valid execution and delivery thereof by each of BOT and OutBack, will constitute the 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, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' and contracting parties rights generally.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that 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 (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Company debt) to which the Company is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Company Common Stock may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Company Common Stock other than pursuant to a sale under an effective registration statement, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel, 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 Company Common Stock under the Securities Act.
(b) BOT and OutBack agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Company Common Stock substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"). THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Company Common Stock shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any sale of such Company Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Company Common Stock is eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iii) 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 agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than seven Trading Days following the delivery to the Company or
(with concurrent notice to the Company) the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Company Common Stock issued with a restrictive legend (together with any documentation required in the Company's reasonable judgment to establish the facts permitting the removal of legends hereunder) (such date, the "Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate representing such Company Common Stock that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as either of BOT or OutBack owns shares of Company Common Stock, the Company covenants 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. Upon the request of either of BOT or OutBack, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as either of BOT or OutBack owns Company Common Stock, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to BOT and OutBack and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144 such information as is required for BOT and OutBack to sell the Company Common Stock under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as either of BOT or OutBack may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable BOT and/or OutBack to sell such Company Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Quotation/Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the quotation or listing of the Company Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Company Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Company Common Stock, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause the Company Common Stock to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will take commercially reasonable actions necessary to continue the quotation or listing of the Company Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board and will comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the OTC Bulletin Board.
4.4 Confidentiality. Each of BOT and OutBack agrees with the Company to keep strictly confidential all Confidential Information. Each of BOT and OutBack understands that the Confidential Information is strictly confidential and proprietary to the Company and has been prepared, in large part, from the Company's publicly available documents and other information and is being submitted to each of BOT and OutBack solely for their confidential use. Each of BOT and OutBack hereby acknowledges that it is prohibited from reproducing and/or distributing the Confidential Information, or any other offering materials or other information provided by the Company in connection with their consideration of an investment in the Company, in whole or in part, or divulging or discussing any of their contents to third parties. Further, each of BOT and OutBack understands that the existence and nature of all conversations and presentations, if any, regarding the Company and the Transaction Documents must be kept strictly confidential. Each of BOT and OutBack understands that United States Federal and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading based on information regarding the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In particular, each of BOT and OutBack hereby acknowledges that disclosure of information regarding the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents or the disclosure of other Confidential Information may cause the Company to violate Regulation FD and agrees not to engage in any such unauthorized disclosure. The restrictions in this subsection shall survive until the earlier of (i) two (2) years after the Closing Date and (ii) such time as such Confidential Information is publicly disclosed by the Company.
5.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses
incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
5.2 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
5.3 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 5 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto.
5.4 Amendments; Waivers. Without the written consent of each of the parties hereto, the terms of this Agreement may not be waived or amended. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
5.5 Construction. 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. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
5.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided by this Agreement.
5.7 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Dallas, Texas. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Dallas, Texas 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. Each party hereto 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 overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto (including its affiliates, agents, officers, directors and employees) hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.8 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 and 3.2 shall survive the Closing and the delivery and exercise of the Securities, as applicable for a period of one (1) year. The agreements and covenants contained herein and in the Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing, as to each Purchaser, until such Purchaser no longer holds any Securities (except for such provisions with a stated duration which will survive for such duration).
5.9 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, 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 signature page were an original thereof.
5.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
