and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation

of
the Company and the Subsidiaries 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, could 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, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise)
of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse

basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii),

Adverse Effect”)
and no
Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting
or
curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority

have
been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and

further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the
Company’s stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the

laws
of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,

stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant
to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion
and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the
most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person has any
right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar
right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction

commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights

any
Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or
contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company
or
any Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common
Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities will not
obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to
any
Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder
of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have
been
issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of

authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required
for the issuance and sale of the Securities. There are no stockholders
agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the
Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of
the Company, between or among any of the Company’s stockholders.

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.
11
(k) Labor
Relations.
No
material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent
with respect to any of the employees of the Company, which could reasonably
be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its
Subsidiaries’ employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s
relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and
the
Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their
employees are good. No executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company,
is,
or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment
contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement
or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each
such
executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to
any
liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters, except, in each case,
matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations
relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of
employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance
could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect.
(l) 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.
(m) 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 have
or
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.
12
(n) Title
to Assets.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to
all
real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and
the Subsidiaries 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 except as could not have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) 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 necessary or material for use in connection with
their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports 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
in all material respects 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.
(p) 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.
13
(q) 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.
(r) 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.
(s) Certain
Fees.
Except
as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, 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.
14
(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.
No
Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under
the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company.
(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. Except as
specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports, 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 and except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(x), 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 which is not otherwise disclosed in the Prospectus
Supplement. 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
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.
15
(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 Securities to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder
approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of
the
Company are listed or designated.
(z) Solvency.
Based
on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date,
after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the
sale
of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii)
the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The
Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts
as
they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable
on
or in respect of its debt). The SEC Reports sets forth as of the date thereof
all material outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company
or
any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments
required to be included therein under the applicable rules and regulations
of
the Exchange Act (“Indebtedness”).
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(aa) 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.
(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.
16
(cc) Accountants.
The
Company’s accounting firm is set PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP. 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, 2008.
(dd) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that to the Company’s knowledge each of the
Purchasers 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 to the Company’s knowledge no Purchaser is
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 any Purchaser or any of their
respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to
the
Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each
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.
(ee) Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity.
Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(e) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged
by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchasers have been asked by the Company
to agree, nor, to the Company’s knowledge, has any 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
Securities 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) any Purchaser, and
counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a
party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the
Common Stock, and (iv) to the Company’s knowledge each Purchaser does not and
will not have any control over any arm’s length counter-party in any
“derivative” transaction. The
Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers
may
engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the
Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods
that the value of the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
are
being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the
value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and
after
the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company
acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute
a
breach of any of the Transaction Documents.
17
(ff) 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 Securities, (ii) sold, bid for,
purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the
Securities, 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 Securities.
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 the Closing Date 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 this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement 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.
(b) Own
Account.
Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and
not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities (this representation
and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement or otherwise 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 Securities hereunder
in
the ordinary course of its business.
(c) Purchaser
Status.
At the
time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date
hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will
be
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.
18
(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 Securities, 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
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to
review (including through availability to it of documents electronically filed
by the Company with the Commission) the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement and all documents incorporated therein by reference and the
Registration Statement, including the risk factors set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement, and has read this Agreement and the form of Warrant and is familiar
with and understands the terms of the offering.
(e) 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
(“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 Securities
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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing
contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude
any
actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing
of, available shares to borrow in order to effect short sales or similar
transactions in the future.
(f) Such
Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials
presented by or on behalf of the Company to such Purchaser in connection with
the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser
has
consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion,
has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the
Securities.
(g) Such
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent
a
fee in respect of the sale of Securities to such Purchaser.
(h) Such
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company will have the authority to issue shares
of Common Stock, in excess of those being issued in connection with the
offering, and that the Company may issue additional shares of Common Stock
from
time to time. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may cause
dilution of the existing shares of Common Stock and a decrease in the market
price of such existing shares.
19
(i) The
purchase by such Purchaser of the Shares issuable to it at the Closing will
not
result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other Person with
whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified. itself as part
of a
“group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities)
acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 9.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a
post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Such
Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make
a
public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with
such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result
of the Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or
they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 9.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a
post
transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have
occurred.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Warrant
Shares. If
all or
any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective
registration statement to cover the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares
or
if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise, the Warrant Shares issued
pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends. If at any
time following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent
registration statement registering the Warrant Shares) is not effective or
is
not otherwise available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the
Company shall immediately notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that
such registration statement is not then effective and thereafter shall promptly
notify such holders when the registration statement is effective again and
available for the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall use
reasonable best efforts to keep a registration statement (including the
Registration Statement) registering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares
effective during the term of the Warrants. Upon a cashless exercise of the
Warrants, the holding period for purposes of Rule 144 shall tack back to the
original date of issuance of such Warrant.
4.2 Furnishing
of Information.
Until
the earliest of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the
Warrants have expired, 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 even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities,
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 Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it
will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably
request, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to
sell
such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
20
4.3 Integration.
The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities 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 approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. (New York City
time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof, issue a Current
Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing
any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release
nor
otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the
Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the
Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except
if
such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall
promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement
or
communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly
disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in
any
filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without
the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal
securities law in connection with the filing of final Transaction Documents
(including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (b) to the extent
such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which
case
the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure
permitted under this clause (b).
4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the
consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring
Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar 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 Securities 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 that the
Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding 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.
21
4.7 Use
of
Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such
proceeds for: (a) the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other
than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business
and prior practices), (b) the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents or (c) the settlement of any outstanding litigation.
4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company
will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers,
shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (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), 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 any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or
in
the other Transaction Documents. 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 and Warrant Shares pursuant to any
exercise of the Warrants.
22
4.10 Listing
of Common Stock.
The
Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing
and
quotation of the Common Stock on a Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Closing (but not later than the Closing Date) to
list
or quote all of the Shares and Warrant 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 Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary
to
cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted 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.
4.11 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered
to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes,
this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the
Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.12 [INTENTIONALLY
DELETED].
4.13 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From
the
date hereof until 30 days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided,
however,
the 30
day period set forth in this Section 4.13 shall be extended for the number
of
Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is
suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) the Registration Statement is not
effective or the prospectus included in the Registration Statement may not
be
used by the Purchasers for the resale of the Shares and Warrant
Shares.
(b) From
the
date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Warrants, the
Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to
effect any Subsequent Financing involving a Variable Rate Transaction.
“Variable
Rate Transaction”
means
a
transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity
securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or
include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at
a
conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based
upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares
of
Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject
to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt
or
equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market
for
the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited
to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a
future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive
relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall
be
in addition to any right to collect damages.
23
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance.
4.14 Short
Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any
Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will
execute any Short Sales during the period commencing with the Discussion Time
and ending at such time the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced as described in Section 4.4.
Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will
maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction
and
the information included in the Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant
hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company
after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first
publicly announced as described in Section 4.4. 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 covenant 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 Securities covered by this
Agreement.
4.15
Delivery of Securities After Closing. The Company shall deliver, or cause
to be delivered, the respective Securities purchased by each Purchaser to such
Purchaser within 3 Trading Days of the Closing Date.

between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other

respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into
such documents, exhibits and schedules.

of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision
is sought. 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 any party
to
exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.
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 than by merger). Any Purchaser may

such
Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees
in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the
provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the

Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is

5.9 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 New York,
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
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 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 other
manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or 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 with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
5.10 Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing
and the delivery of the Securities for the applicable statute of
limitations.
5.11 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 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.
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 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities 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 Securities.
26
5.14 Remedies.
The parties understand and agree that, unless provided otherwise herein, money
damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the Agreement by
the
Company or the Purchaser and that the party against which such breach is
committed shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and
specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedies shall
not,
unless provided otherwise herein, be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for
a
breach by either party of the Agreement but shall be in addition to all other
remedies available at law or equity to the party against which such breach
is
committed.
5.15 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in
any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any
other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out
of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not
be
necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FWS.
FWS
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC. The
Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and
Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it
was
required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
5.16 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.
5.17 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.
27
5.18 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT
BY
ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY,
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY,
UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY
JURY.
