is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting
the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by
any
court, arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an “Action”)
which
(i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability
of
any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) could, if there
were
an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director
or
officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim
of
violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim
of
breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the
Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer
of
the Company. The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company
or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(k) 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, and neither the Company or 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, 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. 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.
12
(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.
(n) Title
to Assets.
Except
as could not have a Material Adverse Effect, 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.
(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 the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any
Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge
of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and
there
is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual
Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security
measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their
intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
13
(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.
(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 $60,000
other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered,
(ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and (iii)
for
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.
14
(s) Certain
Fees.
Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.1(s), 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.
(t) Private
Placement.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers representations and warranties set
forth
in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for
the
offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does
not
contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.
(u) 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.
(v) Registration
Rights.
Other
than each of the Purchasers, no Person has any right to cause the Company
to
effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
Company.
(w) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements.
The
Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to
its
knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of
the
Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any
notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration.
The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received
notice
from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has
no
reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to
be, in
compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(x) Application
of Takeover Protections.
The
Company and its 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.
15
(y) Disclosure.
Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither
it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers
or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes
or
might constitute material, nonpublic information. The Company understands
and
confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure furnished
by
or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure
Schedules to this Agreement, with respect to the representations and warranties
made herein are true and correct with respect to such representations and
warranties and do 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.
(z) 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 the Securities Act or
any
applicable shareholder approval provision of any Trading Market on which
any of
the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency.
Based
on the 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 Company has no knowledge of any facts or
circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization
or
liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction
within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the
dates
thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company
or any
Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.
16
For
the
purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness”
shall
mean (a) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of
$75,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(b) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect
of
Indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected
in
the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value
of
any lease payments
in excess of $75,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance
with GAAP. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(bb) 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.
(cc) No
General Solicitation.
Neither
the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or
sold
any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general
advertising. The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the
Purchasers and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule
501 under the Securities Act.
(dd) 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.
(ee) Accountants.
The
Company’s accountants are set forth on Schedule
3.1(ee)
of the
Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of the Company, such accountants, who
the
Company expects will express their opinion with respect to the financial
statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2005 are a registered public accounting firm as required
by the Securities Act.
(ff) Seniority.
As of
the Closing Date, no Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior
to the Debentures in right of payment, whether with respect to interest or
upon
liquidation or dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured
by
purchase money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying
assets
covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to
the
property covered thereby).
17
(gg) No
Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.
There
are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers
formerly or presently employed by the Company and the Company is current
with
respect to any fees owed to its accountants and lawyers.
(hh) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that 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 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.
(ii) Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity.
Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.16 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged
by the Company (i) that none of the Purchasers have been asked to agree,
nor 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) that
past
or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, including Short
Sales, and 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) that 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)
that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control
over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.
The
Company further understands and acknowledges that (a) 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 Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities
are being determined and (b) 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.
18
(jj) Manipulation
of Price.
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 hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, 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 the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery 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 understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have
not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law and 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.
19
(c) Purchaser
Status.
At the
time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof
it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants or converts any
Debentures 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.
(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.
(e) General
Solicitation.
Such
Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the 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.
(f)
Short
Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The
Date Hereof.
Other
than the transaction contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly
or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any
understanding with such Purchaser, executed any disposition, including Short
Sales, in 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 setting forth the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereunder until the date hereof (“Discussion
Time”).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
Purchaser's assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of
the
investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions
of
such Purchaser's assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply
with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
made
the investment decision to purchase the 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).
20
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company
or
to an affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
in
Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide
to the
Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall
be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer
does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser
under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
(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:
[NEITHER]
THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE
[EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE
UPON
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO
AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL
TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON
[EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of
such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to
the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject
to
approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.
21
Further,
no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation
as a
pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection
with
a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are
subject
to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under
the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including
the
legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement
(including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security
is
effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such
Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Underlying Shares
are
eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such legend is not required
under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).
The
Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s
transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Company’s
transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any
portion of a Debenture or Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable)
at a
time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale
of
the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule
144(k) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements
of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall
be
issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date
or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c),
it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser
to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing
Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such
third
Trading Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company
may
not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer
agent
of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this
Section. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder
shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Purchasers
by
crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company System.
(d) In
addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to
a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
for
each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on
the
date such Securities are submitted to the Company’s transfer agent) delivered
for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10
per
Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day 5 Trading Days after such
damages
have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date
until
such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit
such
Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver
certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction
Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree
of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
22
(e) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, 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, and that if Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with
the
plan of distribution set forth therein.
4.2 Acknowledgment
of Dilution.
The
Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial
under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation
its
obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents,
are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off,
counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution
or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of
the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other
stockholders of the Company.
4.3 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. 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.
4.4 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 in
a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the
sale
of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the
offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market.
4.5 Conversion
and Exercise Procedures.
The
form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice
of
Conversion included in the Debentures set
forth
the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise
the Warrants or convert the Debentures. No additional legal opinion or other
information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise
their Warrants or convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor exercises
of
the Warrants and conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying
Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth
in
the Transaction Documents.
23
4.6 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity.
The
Company shall, by 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on the Trading Day following the
date
hereof, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms
of the
transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach the Transaction Documents
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
or
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 (i) as required by federal
securities law in connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated
by
the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction
Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii)
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 subclause (ii).
4.7 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.
4.8 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 representations in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
4.9 Use
of
Proceeds.
Except
as set forth on Schedule
4.9
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
Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or to settle any outstanding
litigation.
24
4.10 Reimbursement.
If any
Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in any Proceeding by or against
any
Person who is a stockholder of the Company (except as a result of sales,
pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by such Purchaser to or with
any
other stockholder), solely as a result of such Purchaser’s acquisition of the
Securities under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Purchaser
for
its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation
preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection
therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The reimbursement obligations of
the
Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which
the
Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions
to
any Affiliates of the Purchasers who are actually named in such action,
proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and
controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Purchasers and any
such
Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors,
assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Purchasers
and
any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither
the
Purchasers nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees
or
controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result
of
acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.
4.11
Indemnification of Purchasers.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 4.11, 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 person (each, a “Purchaser
Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or
any
of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company
who is
not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon
a
breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the
Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser
may
have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state
or
federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action
shall
be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may
be
sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify
the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to
the
Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party
except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or
(iii)
in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel,
a
material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company
and
the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such
separate counsel.
25
The
Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i)
for
any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) 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.
4.12 Reservation
and Listing of Securities.
(a) The
Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common
Stock
for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may
be
required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction
Documents.
(b) If,
on
any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved)
shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then
the
Board of Directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to
amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the
Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later
than the 75th day after such date.
(c) The
Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the
principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an
additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common
Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application,
(ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be
approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter,
(iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing, and (iv) maintain
the
listing of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum
on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. In addition,
the
Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders (which may also be at
the
annual meeting of shareholders) on the earliest practical date after the
date
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement
on a
fully converted or exercised basis (ignoring for such purposes any conversion
or
exercise limitations therein) exceeds 15% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock on the Closing Date for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder
Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such
proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its
shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management
proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders
shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. If the Company does not
obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call
a
meeting as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event every six months
thereafter, to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date
Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Debentures are no longer
outstanding.
26
4.13 Participation
in Future Financing.
(a) From
the
date hereof until the date that is the 6 month anniversary of the Effective
Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent
Financing”),
each
Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the
Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the
“Participation
Maximum”)
on the
same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
(b) At
least
5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company
shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect
a
Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”),
which
Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of
such
financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”).
Upon
the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for
a
Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
1
Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to
such
Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail
the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended
to be raised thereunder, the Person or Persons through or with whom such
Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall
be
a term sheet or similar document relating thereto.
(c) Any
Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City
time)
on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser
is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
Purchaser’s participation, and that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing,
and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing
Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such
5th
Trading
Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it
does
not elect to participate.
(d) If
by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications
by
the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing
(or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than
the
total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the
remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the
Persons
set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) If
by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking
to
purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each
such
Purchaser shall have the right to purchase the greater of (a) their Pro Rata
Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum and (b) the difference
between the Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount of participation
by
all other Purchasers. “Pro
Rata Portion”
is
the
ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing
Date
by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.13 and (y) the sum of the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by
all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.13.
27
(f) The
Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice,
and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above
in
this Section 4.13, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent
Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth
in
such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after the date of
the
initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance.
4.14 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
(a) From
the
date hereof until 90 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company nor
any
Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided,
however,
the 90
day period set forth in this Section 4.14 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) following the Effective Date, 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
Underlying Shares.
(b) From
the
date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Securities,
the
Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement
to
effect any Subsequent Financing involving a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The
term “Variable
Rate Transaction”
shall
mean 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, exercise 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.
(c) Unless
Shareholder Approval has been obtained and deemed effective, neither the
Company
nor any Subsidiary shall make any issuance whatsoever of Common Stock or
Common
Stock Equivalents which would cause any adjustment of the Conversion Price
to
the extent the holders of Debentures would not be permitted, pursuant to
Section
4(c)(i) of the Debentures, to convert their respective outstanding Debentures
and exercise their respective Warrants in full, ignoring for such purposes
the
conversion or exercise limitations therein. 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.
28
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt
Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt
Issuance.
4.15 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. Further, the Company shall not make any payment of
principal or interest on the Debentures in amounts which are disproportionate
to
the respective principal amounts outstanding on the Debentures at any applicable
time. 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.
4.16 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
at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6.
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 4.6, such Purchaser will
maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection
with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Each
Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any
other
Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage
of
short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Securities is a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of
the
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.
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 4.6.
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.
4.17 Form
D; Blue Sky Filings.
The
Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as
required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon
request
of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall
reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or
to
qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Purchaser.
29
4.18 Capital
Changes.
Until
the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall not undertake
a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock
without
the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in principal
amount outstanding of the Debentures.
ARTICLE
V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s
obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations
between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other
parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before March 1, 2006;
provided,
however,
that no
such termination will affect the right of any party to xxx for any breach
by the
other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees

At the
Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse Alpha Capital AG (“Alpha”) the
non-accountable sum of $30,000, for its legal fees and expenses, none which

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.
5.4 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

5.5 Amendments;
Waivers.
No
provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company and each Purchaser (provided, however, if the outstanding principal
amount of Purchaser’s Debenture is less than $50,000, such Purchaser’s written
consent shall not be required to amend this Agreement unless the principal
amount of each Debenture then outstanding is less than $50,000, in which
case
the written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority of the principal
amount
of Debentures then outstanding shall be required to effect amendments to
this
Agreement) or, in the case 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

Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
5.7 Successors

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 assign
any
or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom 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 “Purchasers”.
5.8 No

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

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.
31
Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights
to a
trial by jury. 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, warranties, covenants and other agreements contained herein
shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise and/or conversion of
the
Securities, as applicable for the applicable statue 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 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting
any
similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any
Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations
within
the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw,
in
its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company,
any
relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice
to its
future actions and rights; provided,
however,
in the
case of a rescission of a conversion of a Debenture or exercise of a Warrant,
the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject
to
any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice; provided,
further
that,
any liquidated damages with respect to such right, election, demand or option
of
a Purchaser under the Transaction Documents shall cease accruing on the date
a
Purchaser exercises its right to rescind or withdraw such notice, demand
or
election.
32
5.14 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.
5.15 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 contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at
law
would be adequate.
5.16 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full
force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff
had not occurred.
5.17 Usury.
To the
extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon
or
plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to
be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action
or
proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right
or
remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and
provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents
for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful
rate
authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”),
and,
without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in
the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the
maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by
applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess
of the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to
indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be
applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Purchaser’s election.
33
5.18 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 FW.
FW
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Alpha. 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.
5.19 Liquidated
Damages.
The
Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts
owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company
and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other
amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security
pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due
and
payable shall have been canceled.
5.20 Construction.
The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed
and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
