enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
that enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect
relating to creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding
at law or in equity) and except to the extent that rights to
indemnification and contribution contained in this Agreement may be limited
by federal or state securities laws or public policy relating thereto.
(b) INVESTMENT INTENT. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a
view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser's right, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such
registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty
by such Purchaser to hold Securities for any period of time. Such Purchaser
is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Securities.
(c) PURCHASER STATUS. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and as of the Closing
Date and at each exercise date under its respective Warrant it will be, an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
Except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 3.2(C), such Purchaser is not a registered
broker or dealer, as defined under the Exchange Act, or an affiliate of
such a broker or dealer.
(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
-12-
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 currently is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment.
(e) MAXIMUM OWNERSHIP. Immediately following the purchase of Units
pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser will not beneficially own,
directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrants and any other
Common Stock Equivalents, in an amount in excess of 19.9% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock or voting power outstanding immediately
prior to the issuance of the Securities in this offering.
(f) ACCESS TO INFORMATION. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has
reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity
to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers
from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of
the offering of the Securities and the merits and the risks of investing in
the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and the
Company's financial conditions, results of operation, business, properties,
management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its
investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information
which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to the investment and to verify the accuracy and completeness of
the information contained in the Disclosure Materials. Neither such
inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such
Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect
such Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of
the Disclosure Materials and the Company's representations and warranties
contained in the Transaction Documents.
(g) GENERAL SOLICITATION. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the
Securities as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article,
notice or other communication regarding such Securities 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.
(h) RELIANCE. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the
Securities are being offered and sold to it without registration under the
Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and (ii) the availability of such
exemption, depends in part on, and the Company will rely upon the accuracy
and truthfulness of, the foregoing representations and warranties and such
Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or
has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.
-13-
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, to the Company or pursuant
to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to
an effective registration statement or to the Company, the Company may
require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor, 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 Securities under
the Securities Act. The Company hereby consents to and agrees to register
on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent, without any such
legal opinion (unless otherwise required by its transfer agent), any
transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser,
provided that the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the applicable
provisions of the Transaction Documents, including the representations of
the Purchaser, and certifies to the Company that it is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by
this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following
form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE 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.
(c) Certificates evidencing Shares and Warrant Shares otherwise
transferable under Section 4.1(a) except as set forth in the last sentence
of Section 4.1(a), shall not be transferable on the books of the Company by
a Purchaser unless the certificate evidencing those Securities, when
submitted to the transfer agent, is accompanied by a separate Certificate
of Subsequent Sale executed by an officer of, or other person duly
authorized by, the Purchaser in the form of APPENDIX II attached hereto.
Promptly upon receipt of such Certificate of Subsequent Sale, certificates
evidencing Shares and Warrant Shares bearing a restrictive legend
(including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b)) may be exchanged by the
transfer agent for share certificates not bearing such legend. If requested
by the transfer agent after the date on which the registration statement
has been declared effective, the Company shall promptly issue, or cause its
counsel to issue, a legal opinion to the transfer agent to the effect that
the Registration Statement has become effective and that accordingly
un-legended certificates can be issued. If all or any portion of a Warrant
is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to
cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued
free of all legends.
-14-
(d) Each Purchaser severally and not jointly agrees that the removal
of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set
forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company's reliance that
the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
4.2 FURNISHING OF INFORMATION. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities,
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 any such holder of Securities, 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 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, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 INTEGRATION. The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to
ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, after the date hereof, 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 in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the
Purchasers.
4.4 SECURITIES LAWS DISCLOSURE; PUBLICITY. The Company shall by 9:00 a.m.,
New York City Time, on the Trading Day following the Closing Date, issue a press
release reasonably acceptable to the placement agent's counsel disclosing all
material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company and the placement agent's counsel shall consult with each other in
issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
and no Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such
public statement without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, 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.
4.5 SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN. No claim will be made or enforced by the
Company that any Purchaser is, solely as a result of purchasing Securities
pursuant to this Agreement, an "Acquiring Person" under any shareholders rights
plan or similar 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.
4.6 NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. The Company covenants and agrees that neither
it nor any director or officer of the Company 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
-15-
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 representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
4.7 USE OF PROCEEDS. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto,
the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder
for working capital purposes and not for 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), to redeem any Company equity or
equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.
4.8 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 a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling
the Company to issue Warrant Shares pursuant to the Warrants.
4.9 LISTING OF COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on a Trading
Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing (but not
later than the Effective Date) to list the applicable 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 include in
such application the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action
as is necessary or desirable in the reasonable opinion of the Purchasers to
cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as
promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to
continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and
will comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such Trading Market.
ARTICLE V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 FEES AND EXPENSES. 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, except that the Company shall pay
JMP Securities LLC, the placement agent for this transaction, the fees set forth
on Schedule 3.1(r). The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties
levied in connection with the sale of the Securities.
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 6:30 p.m. (New York
-16-
City 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 on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a

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. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or
amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority of the Shares then outstanding
or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such
waiver 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.
5.5 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. The
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Purchaser. No Purchaser may assign any
or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person except in connection
with a transfer of Securities permitted under Section 4.1(a), and then only if
such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the "Purchasers".
5.7 NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other Person.
5.8 GOVERNING LAW. The corporate law of the State of Delaware shall govern
all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders.
All other 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. 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, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in
The City of New York, 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
-17-
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 delivering 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.
5.9 SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery and/or exercise of the
Securities, as applicable, for a period of three years.
5.10 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.
5.11 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 therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
5.12 RESCISSION AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHT. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the
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.
5.13 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, 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 and customary and reasonable
indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument
-18-
under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.14 REMEDIES. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers 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 described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
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 of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser
independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information,
materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any
other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no
Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
other Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in
any 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 Document. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such
Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other
Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with
monitoring its investment hereunder. 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. 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.
