NOW,
THEREFORE,
in

1. Closing

The

shall
be the date that the Purchase Price is transmitted by wire transfer or otherwise
credited to or for the benefit of the Company, provided that subscriptions
totaling a minimum of $1,500,000 shall be required for an initial closing

except that such approval will not be required for (i) subscriptions, in the
aggregate, for a Purchase Price of up to $500,000, and (ii) Purchase Price
paid
by directors, employees and Strategic Investors (as hereinafter defined).
“Strategic
Investor”
shall
mean a company directly or indirectly, itself or through an Affiliate (as

advertising or other business directed primarily to the youth and family market.
The Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), the Expiration Date (as defined
in
the Warrant) and all time effective clauses in the Transaction Documents [as
defined in Section 5(c)] in connection with the Second Closing shall be the
same
as such dates and time periods applicable to the Initial Closing.
2. Notes.
Subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
on
the Closing Date, each Subscriber shall purchase and the Company shall sell
to
each Subscriber a Note in the Principal Amount designated on the signature
page
hereto for such Subscriber’s respective portion of the Purchase Price indicated
thereon, and a Warrant as described in Section 3 of this Agreement. Each
Subscriber’s respective portion of the Purchase Price for such Subscriber’s Note
and Warrant will be determined by dividing the Principal Amount of such
Subscriber’s Note by 1.03.
3. Warrants.
Subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
on
the Closing Date, the Company will issue and deliver a Warrant to each
Subscriber. The respective number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
under
each such Warrant shall equal the quotient of (a) such Subscriber’s respective
portion of the Purchase Price indicated on the signature page hereto, divided
by
(b) one-half of the Conversion Price of the Note to be issued to such Subscriber
hereunder. The number of Warrant Shares eligible for purchase by each Subscriber
is set forth in the signature page of this Agreement. The aggregate number
of
Warrant Shares eligible for purchase by the Subscribers pursuant to the Warrants
is 4,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided for herein and in the Warrants.

be $1.75 per share. Each Warrant shall, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, be exercisable commencing 181 days after the issue date thereof and
until five (5) years after the issue date thereof. Each holder of a Warrant
is
granted the registration rights for the Warrant Shares underlying such Warrant
set forth in Section 11.1 of this Agreement. The Warrant exercise price and
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be
equitably adjusted to offset the effect of stock splits, stock dividends, and
similar events, and as otherwise described in the Warrant.

the
Company shall mean a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results
of operations, properties or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken

This
Agreement, the Note, the Warrants, and the Escrow Agreement, and any other
agreements delivered together with this Agreement or in connection herewith
(collectively, the “Transaction

have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and
binding agreements of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance
with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles
of equity. The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to
enter
into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations
thereunder.
(d) Additional
Issuances.
There
are
no outstanding agreements or preemptive or similar rights affecting the

obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation,
the
issuance and sale of the Securities, which has not been obtained. The
Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations
thereunder has been unanimously approved by all non-abstaining members of the

from
the Required Investors, as defined in the June 2007 Purchase Agreement, dated
as
of June 7, 2007, by and among the Company and the investors identified on the
signature pages thereto (the “June
2007 Purchase Agreement”),
as
required under the June 2007 Purchase Agreement.. No other consent is required
for the Company’s entry into and compliance with its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, except where the failure to obtain such a consent would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
(f) No
Violation or Conflict.
Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscribers in Section 4

true and correct, neither the issuance and sale of the Securities nor the
performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents

Company, (B) to the Company’s knowledge, any decree, judgment, order, law,

Affiliates
is
subject, or (D) the terms of any “lock-up” or similar provision of any
underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company, or any of its
Affiliates
is a
party except the violation, conflict, breach, or default of which would not
have
a Material Adverse Effect;
or
(ii) result
in
the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the
Securities or any of the assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates
except
as described herein; or
(iii) result
in
the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any debt,
security or other instrument issued or issuable by the Company, nor result
in
the acceleration of the due date of any obligation of the foregoing, which
rights have not been waived prior to the Closing Date; or
(iv) result
in
the triggering of any piggy-back registration rights of any person or entity
holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive securities
of
the Company.
(g) The
Securities.
The
Securities upon issuance, conversion and exercise in accordance with the
Transaction Documents:

obligation of the Company or its Subsidiaries solely by reason of being such
holders; and

hereof are true and correct, will not result in a violation of Section 5 under
the 1933 Act.

There
is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action,
suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body,
or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates
that
would affect the execution by the Company or the performance by the Company
of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Except as disclosed in the
Reports or in the schedules hereto, there is no pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding
or
investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator
having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates
which

has
been no Material Adverse Event relating to the Company’s business, financial

an
Integrated Offering.
Neither
the Company, nor any of its Affiliates,
nor any
person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers

circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this
Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes
of
the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including,
without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Bulletin
Board which
would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s
ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. Neither the Company
nor
any of its Subsidiaries will take any action that would cause the offer or
issuance of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings which would
impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to
timely comply with its obligations hereunder. The Company will not conduct
any
offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that will be integrated

(t) Dilution.
The
Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the
Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities
will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders
of
the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of
directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment
that
the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company and
its
stockholders. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to
issue
the Shares upon conversion of the Notes, and the Warrant Shares upon exercise
of
the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable against the Company
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests
of
other stockholders of the Company or other parties entitled to receive equity
of
the Company.
(u) 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

together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate

foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing
Date.
6. Regulation
D Offering/Legal Opinion.
The
offer and issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers is being made pursuant
to the exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act afforded
by
Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the 1933 Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation
D
promulgated thereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company will provide (a) a
legal opinion, dated as of the Closing Date, from Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP,
counsel for the Company, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit
F
and (b)
a legal opinion, dated as of the Closing Date, from XxXxxxxx Carano Wilson
LLP,
special Nevada counsel for the Company, in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit
G.
The
Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, such other legal opinions in the
future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and resale of the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to an effective
registration statement, Rule 144, as amended, under the 1933 Act (“Rule
144”)
or an
exemption from registration.
10
7.1 Conversion
of Note.
(a) Upon
the
conversion of a Note or part thereof as provided for in Section 2.1(a) of the
Note, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action,
including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel, if necessary, to
assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the
name of a Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as
designated by such Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at
conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such
conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these
instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s
Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain
no
legend other than the usual 1933 Act restriction from transfer legend. Examples
of such legends are provided for in Section 4 of this Agreement. If and when
a
Subscriber sells the Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including
such Shares is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended,
contained therein is current and (ii) such Subscriber or its agent confirms
in
writing to the transfer agent that such Subscriber has complied with the
prospectus delivery requirements, the restrictive legend can be removed and
the
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the
Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration,
the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent
an
opinion permitting removal of the legend (indefinitely, if in accordance with
the relevant provisions of Rule 144).
(b) Each
Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert
the
Note, or part thereof as provided for in Section 2.1(a) of the Note by
telecopying an executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which
is
annexed as Exhibit
A
to the
Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant
to Section 13(a) of this Agreement. Such Subscriber will not be
required to surrender the Note
until
the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice
of
Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof
shall be deemed a Conversion
Date.
The
Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the
Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note to such Subscriber via express courier for receipt by
such Subscriber within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company
of
the Notice of Conversion (such fifth day being the “Delivery
Date”).
In
the event the Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the
Shares must
be made
by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been
made by such
Subscriber and such Subscriber has complied with all applicable securities
laws
in connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without limitation,
the prospectus delivery requirements. A Note representing the balance of the
Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to a Subscriber if
requested by such Subscriber, provided such Subscriber delivers the
original Note to the Company. In the event that a Subscriber elects not to
surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion of a Note,
such Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or
damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual
amount then due under the Note.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount
described in Section 7.2 hereof, respectively after the Delivery Date or the
Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in
economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to such Subscriber for such
loss,
the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such
Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant to Section
7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note in the amount of $100 per business day
after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount being
converted of the corresponding Shares which are not timely delivered. The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available to such Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails
for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date or make
payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, such Subscriber will be
entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind
all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to
such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and such Subscriber shall
each
be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery
of
such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable
through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the
Company.
11
(d) The
Company agrees and acknowledges that despite the pendency of a not yet effective
registration statement which includes for registration the Securities, the
Subscriber is permitted to and the Company will issue to the Subscriber Shares
upon conversion of the Note and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.
Such Shares will, if required by law, bear the legends described in Section
4
above and if the requirements of Rule 144 are satisfied be immediately resalable
thereunder.
7.2 Mandatory
Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.
In the
event (a) the Company is prohibited from issuing Shares, (b) fails to timely
deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, (c) upon the occurrence of any other Event
of
Default (as defined in the Note or in this Agreement), and if any event listed
in subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) is not cured during any applicable cure period
and an additional twenty (20) days thereafter, or (d) upon a Change in Control
(as defined below), then at such Subscriber’s election, the Company must pay to
such Subscriber, fifteen (15) business days after request by such Subscriber,
at
such Subscriber’s election, a sum of money determined by (i) multiplying up to
the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by such Subscriber
by
120%, or (ii) multiplying the number of Shares otherwise deliverable upon
conversion of an amount of Note principal and/or interest designated by such
Subscriber (with the date of giving of such designation being a “Deemed
Conversion Date”)
by
either the Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion
Date or by the highest closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market
for the period commencing on the Deemed Conversion Date until the day prior
to
the receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, whichever is greater; together
with any other sums arising and outstanding under the Transaction Documents
(“Mandatory
Redemption Payment”).
The
Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by such Subscriber within ten
(10)
business days after request (“Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date”).
Upon
receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal
and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. “Change
in Control”
shall
mean (i) the Company no longer having a class of shares publicly traded or
listed on a Principal Market (as hereinafter defined), (ii) the Company becoming
a Subsidiary of another entity or merging into or with another entity (other
than in connection with a reincorporation), (iii) a change in the composition
of
the board of directors of the Company over a period of twelve (12) months or
less such that a majority of the board of directors of the Company as of the
Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company except due to natural
causes (which shall include, a director’s election not to seek re-election, or
the termination of such directors by the holders of more than 50% of the equity
outstanding as of the Closing Date), or (iv) the sale, lease, license or
transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.
7.3 Maximum
Conversion.
A
Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount
of
the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would
be
in excess of the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (b) the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note with
respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by such Subscriber
and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to
the
immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
Subject to the foregoing, such Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate
conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions by such Subscriber may
exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber may increase the permitted beneficial ownership
amount up to 9.99% upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to
the
Company. The Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed
beneficially owned by such Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount
described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%.
12
7.4 Injunction
Posting of Bond.
In the
event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof, the Company
may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that such Subscriber
or
any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court,
on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note
shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request
or with the Company’s assistance, and
the
Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the
amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, or
aggregate purchase price of the Shares which are sought to be subject to the
injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s
favor.
7.5 Buy-In.
In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails
to
deliver to such Subscriber such shares issuable upon conversion of a Note by
the
Delivery Date and if after seven (7) business days after the Delivery Date
such
Subscriber or a broker on such Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction
of a
sale by such Subscriber of the Common Stock which such Subscriber was entitled
to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to such Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by such Subscriber) the amount by which (A) such
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal
and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion was not timely
honored,
together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such
amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall
be
paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if such Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the Company shall
be
required to pay to such Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall
provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such
Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
7.6 Adjustments.
The
Conversion Price, Warrant exercise price and the number of Shares issuable
upon
conversion of the Notes and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this
Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.
7.7 Redemption.
The
Note shall not be redeemable or callable except as described in the Note. The
Warrants shall not be callable or redeemable.
8. Commissions/Due
Diligence Fee/Legal Fees.
(a) Commissions.
The
Company on the one hand, and each Subscriber (for itself only) on the other
hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from
any
and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or similar
fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the
indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing
indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions and not for any action of
any other Subscriber. The Company represents that there are no parties entitled
to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the
offering described in this Agreement.
13
(b) Due

($45,000). The Due Diligence Fee will be payable on the Closing Date out of

the

The
Legal Fees and reimbursement for estimated fees for lien searches (less any
amounts paid prior to a Closing Date), and estimated printing and shipping
costs
for the closing statements to be delivered to Subscribers, will be payable
on
the Closing Date out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The total
amount of reimbursements shall not exceed $1,500 unless any such reimbursement
in excess of such amount shall be pre-approved in writing by the
Company.

of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale
in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such

contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and
proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and
regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the
Subscribers and promptly provide copies thereof to the Subscribers.
14
(d) Filing
Requirements.
From
the
date of this Agreement and until the last to occur of (i) two (2) years after
the Closing Date, (ii) until all the Shares have been resold or transferred
by
all the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule
144(b)(1)(i), or (iii) the Notes are no longer outstanding (the date of such
latest occurrence being the “End
Date”),
the
Company will (A) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing
obligations under the 1934 Act, (B) prepare and furnish to the Subscribers

make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as

statement filed pursuant to this Agreement. The Company will use its best
efforts not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted
by
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend
such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing
obligations under said acts until the End Date. Until the End Date, the Company
will continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market
and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market. The Company
agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Subscriber promptly after
such filing.
(e) Use
of
Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Offering must be employed by the Company for general corporate
purposes and working capital. The Purchase Price may not and will not be used
for accrued and unpaid officer and director salaries, payment of financing
related debt, redemption of outstanding notes or equity instruments of the
Company or non-trade obligations outstanding on a Closing Date. For so long
as
any Notes are outstanding, the Company will not prepay any financing related
debt obligations nor redeem any equity instruments of the Company without the
prior consent of the Subscribers.
(f) Reservation.
Prior
to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve, pro rata,
on
behalf of each holder of a Note or Warrant, from its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, a number of common shares equal to 100% of the
amount of Common Stock necessary to allow each holder of a Note to be able
to
convert all such outstanding Notes and reserve the amount of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Failure to have sufficient shares
reserved pursuant to this Section 9(f) at any time shall be a material default
of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and an Event of Default under
the Note.
(g) Taxes.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will promptly
pay
and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all
lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the
income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that
any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity
thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if
the
Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect
thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes,
assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings
to
foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefore.
(h) Insurance.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its
assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially sound and
reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks
customarily insured against by companies in the Company’s line of business, in
amounts sufficient to prevent the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not
in
any event less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value of the
property insured less reasonable deductible amounts; and the Company will
maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against
other
hazards and risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in
the
manner customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and
to
the extent available on commercially reasonable terms.
15

generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis.
(j) Governmental
Authorities.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company shall duly
observe and conform in all material respects to all valid requirements of
governmental authorities relating to the conduct of its business or to its
properties or assets.
(k) Intellectual
Property.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company shall maintain
in
full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all
licenses and other rights to use intellectual property owned or possessed by
it
and reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business, unless
it
is sold for value.
(l) Properties.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its
properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and
tear
excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals,
replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all
times comply with each provision of all leases to which it is a party or under
which it occupies property if the breach of such provision could reasonably
be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Confidentiality/Public
Announcement.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company agrees that,
except in connection with a Form 8-K or any registration statement or statements
regarding the Subscribers’ securities or in correspondence with the Commission
regarding the same or as otherwise required in connection with any other filing
required to be made with the SEC, it will not disclose publicly or privately
the
identity of the Subscribers unless expressly agreed to in writing by a
Subscriber or only to the extent required by law and then only upon five days
prior notice to Subscriber. In any event and subject to the foregoing, the
Company undertakes to file a Form 8-K or make a public announcement describing
the Offering not later than the first business day after the Closing Date.
Prior
to filing or announcement, such Form 8-K or public announcement will be provided
to Subscribers for their review. In the Form 8-K or public announcement, the
Company will specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the Closing. Upon delivery by the Company to the
Subscribers after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing,
electronically or otherwise, and while a Note, Shares, Warrants, or Warrant
Shares are held by such Subscribers, unless the Company has in good
faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not
constitute material, nonpublic information relating to
the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one
business day after any such delivery publicly disclose such
material, nonpublic information on a
Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In
the event that the Company believes that a
notice or communication to a Subscriber contains material, nonpublic
information, relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall so
indicate to such Subscriber prior to delivery of such notice or information.
Subscriber will be granted sufficient time to notify the Company that Subscriber
elects not to receive such information. In such case, the Company will not
deliver such information to Subscriber. In the absence of any such
indication, such Subscriber shall be allowed to presume that all matters
relating to such notice and information do not constitute material,
nonpublic information relating to the Company or its
Subsidiaries.
(n) Non-Public
Information.
The
Company covenants and agrees that except for the Reports, Other Written
Information and schedules and exhibits to this Agreement and any other
disclosure required under the Transaction Documents, which information the
Company undertakes to publicly disclose not later than the sooner of the
required or actual filing date of the Form 8-K described in Section 9(m) above,
neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will at any time provide
any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto
such
Subscriber shall have agreed in writing to receive such information. The Company
understands and confirms that each Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing
representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company.
16
(o) Additional
Negative Covenants.
So long
as the Notes are outstanding, without the consent of the Subscribers, the
Company will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to directly or
indirectly:
(i) create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit
arrangement, lien, charge, claim, security interest, security title, mortgage,
security deed or deed of trust, easement or encumbrance, or preference, priority
or other security agreement or preferential arrangement of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including any lease or title retention agreement, any financing
lease having substantially the same economic effect as any of the foregoing,
and
the filing of, or agreement to give, any financing statement perfecting a
security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or comparable law of any
jurisdiction) (each, a “Lien”)
upon
any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired except for: (A)
the
Excepted Issuances (as defined in Section 12 hereof, (B) Liens imposed by law
for taxes that are not yet due or are being contested in good faith and for
which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; (C) carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’,
material men’s, repairmen’s and other like Liens imposed by law, arising in the
ordinary course of business and securing obligations that are not overdue by

proceedings; (D) pledges and deposits made in the ordinary course of business
in
compliance with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social
security laws or regulations; (E) deposits to secure the performance of bids,
trade contracts, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds,
performance bonds and other obligations of a like nature, in each case in the
ordinary course of business; (F) Liens created with respect to the financing
of
the purchase of property in the ordinary course of the Company’s business up to
the amount of the purchase price of such property; and (G) easements, zoning
restrictions, rights-of-way and similar encumbrances on real property imposed
by
law or arising in the ordinary course of business that do not secure any
monetary obligations and do not materially detract from the value of the
affected property (each of (B) through (G), a “Permitted
Lien”);
(ii) amend
its
certificate of incorporation, by-laws or its charter documents so as to
adversely affect any rights of the Subscribers;
(iii) repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire or make any
dividend or distribution in respect of any of its Common Stock, preferred stock,
or other equity securities other than to the extent permitted or required under
the Transaction Documents;
(iv) prepay
or
redeem any financing related debt or pay past due obligations outstanding as
of
the Closing Date not in the ordinary course of business except as set forth
on
Schedule
9(o);
(v) engage
in
any transactions with any officer, director, employee or any Affiliate
(excluding a Subsidiary) of the Company, 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

obligation for borrowed money except for the Excepted Issuances and the
Permitted Liens.
The
Company agrees to provide Subscribers not less than ten (10) days notice prior
to becoming obligated to or effectuating a Permitted Lien or Excepted
Issuance.
(p) Offering
Restrictions.
For so
long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not enter into any Equity
Line of Credit or similar agreement, nor issue nor agree to issue any floating
or Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments nor any of the foregoing or equity
with price reset rights (collectively, the “Variable
Rate Restrictions”).
For
purposes hereof, “Equity
Line of Credit”
shall
include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and
an
investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its
securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and
at
an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable
Priced Equity Linked Instruments”
shall
include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into,
exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares
of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or
other
price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations
for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity
security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial
issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price
of
the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance, and (B) any
amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date,
where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such
transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization
payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that is based
upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock
at
any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether
or
not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity
conditions).
(q) Seniority.
Except
for Permitted Liens and as otherwise provided for herein, until the Notes are
fully satisfied or converted, the Company shall not grant nor allow any security
interest to be taken in the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary; nor issue
any debt, equity or other instrument which would give the holder thereof
directly or indirectly, a right in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
superior to any right of the holder of a Note in or to such assets except that
the rights of the holders (and their respective assigns) of the Company’s
outstanding 6% senior convertible notes due 2010 may be senior with the rights
of the Subscribers.
(r) DTC
Program.
At all
times that Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company will employ as the
transfer agent for the Common Stock, Shares and Warrant Shares a participant
in
the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program.
10. Covenants
of the Company and Subscriber Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the
Subscribers, the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, control
persons and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability,
obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature,
incurred by or imposed upon the Subscriber or any such person which results,
arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by the Company
or breach of any warranty by the Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits
or
Schedules attached hereto, or other Transaction Documents delivered pursuant
hereto, or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach
or
default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be
performed by the Company hereunder, or any other Transaction Documents entered
into by the Company and Subscriber relating hereto.
18
(b) In
no
event shall the liability of any Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder
or
under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection
herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of Securities.
11. Additional
Post-Closing Obligations.
11.1. Piggy-Back
Registrations.
If at
any time until the End Date there is not an effective registration statement
covering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares and the Company shall determine
to
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an
offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of
any
of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as
promulgated under the 0000 Xxx) or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity
or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or
other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each holder of
any
of the Securities entitled to registration rights under this Section 11.1
written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen calendar days after
receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company
shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Shares
or
Warrant Shares such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary
underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights. The
obligations of the Company under this Section may be waived by any holder of
any
of the Securities entitled to registration rights under this Section 11.1.
The
holders whose shares are included or required to be included in such
registration statement are granted the same rights, benefits, liquidated or
other damages and indemnification granted to other holders of Securities
included in such registration statement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the registration rights granted hereunder to the holders of
Securities shall not be applicable for such times as such Shares and Warrant
Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section
144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act. In no event shall the liability of any holder
of
Securities or permitted successor in connection with any Shares of Warrant
Shares included in any such registration statement be greater in amount than
the
dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber upon
the
sale of the Shares and Warrant Shares sold pursuant to such registration or
such
lesser amount applicable to other holders of Securities included in such
registration statement.
11.2. Delivery
of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within
three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date”)
after
the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares
or
Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by a Subscriber have been sold
pursuant to the registration statement described in Section 11.1 or Rule 144,
(ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the
requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied,
and (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common
Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144,
customary representation letters of the Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker
regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its
expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the
Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an
appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery
of
shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in
Section 4(i)
above
(the “Unlegended
Shares”);
and
(z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the
submitted Shares certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified
in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise
on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
19
(b) In
lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if
the
Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long
as
the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and such Subscriber is not
obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon,
the
Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended
Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with DTC through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made
on or
before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof later than two business days after the
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber.
As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such Subscriber
for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after
the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares
subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the Company
fails
to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.2 for an aggregate
of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject
to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any
portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such default at a price
per
share equal to the greater of (i) the actual purchase price of such Shares
or
Warrant Shares, or (ii) the highest closing price of the Common Stock during
the
aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest
conversion price during such thirty day period (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(d) In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails
to
deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this
Agreement, within seven (7) business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date and a Subscriber or a broker on such Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which
such Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to such Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by such Subscriber) the amount by which (A) such
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase
price
of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount
and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase
price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay such Subscriber
$1,000,
plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to such Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) In
the
event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described
in
Section 11.2 or Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants and the Company is
required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.2 or the
Warrant Shares pursuant to the Warrants, the Company may not refuse to deliver
Unlegended Shares or Warrant Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber
or
any one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary
restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery
of such Unlegended Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall
have
been sought and obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request or with the
Company’s assistance,
and the
Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the
amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common
Stock
and Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining
order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable
to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s
favor.
20
11.3. In
the
event commencing one hundred and eighty-one (181) days after the Closing Date,
a
Subscriber is not permitted to resell any of the Shares or Warrant Shares
without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to
volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the
unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any
successor rule (a “144
Default”),
for
any reason except for Subscriber’s status as an Affiliate or “control person” of
the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30)
days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty (30) days)
thereafter of the purchase price of the Shares and Warrant Shares owned by
such
Subscriber during the pendency of the 144 Default. Liquidated damages shall
not
be payable pursuant to this Section 11.3 in connection with Shares and Warrant
Shares for such times as such Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold by the
holder thereof without restriction pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the
1933
Act.
12. (a) Favored
Nations Provision.
Other
than in connection with the Excepted Issuances, if at any time that Notes or
Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price
Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for
shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding)
to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price
per
share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time,
or
less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent
of each Subscriber, then the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall
automatically be reduced to such other lower price. Each Subscriber is granted
the registration rights described in Section 11.1 hereof in relation to the
additional Shares and Warrant Shares issuable as a result of the foregoing
adjustment. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this
paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to
convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right
or
option to purchase Common Stock, except Excepted Issuances, shall result in
the
adjustments described above upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual
issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at
any
time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of
such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than
the
Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance. The
Subscriber is also given the right to elect to substitute any term or terms
of
any other offering in connection with which such Subscriber has rights as
described in this Section 12(a), for any term or terms of the offering giving
rise to the Lower Price Issuance. The rights of each Subscriber set forth in
this Section 12 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant
to this Agreement, the Note, any Transaction Document, and any other agreement
referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which such Subscriber
and Company are parties.
(b) Right
of Participation.
For so
long as any sums are outstanding in connection with the Notes, the Subscribers
and their assignees shall be given ten business days prior written notice of
any
proposed sale by the Company of its Common Stock or other securities or equity
linked debt obligations, except in connection with the Excepted
Issuances.
The
Subscribers who exercise their rights pursuant to this
Section
12(b) shall have the right during the ten business days following receipt of
the
notice, to purchase by application of the outstanding balance of the Notes
including principal, interest, liquidated damages and any other amount then
owing to such Subscriber by the Company, in the aggregate up to fifteen percent
(15%) of all of such offered Common Stock, debt or other securities in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale in
the
same proportion to each other as their purchase of Notes in the Offering. In
the
event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, the
Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have
the
right during the ten business days following the notice of modification to
exercise such right.
21
(c) Maximum
Exercise of Rights.
In the
event the exercise of the rights described in Sections 12(a) or 12(b)
would
or
could result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that
would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated
in
the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then the issuance of
such
additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Subscriber will be
deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is permitted
to
beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the applicable maximum
amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this
Agreement. The determination of when such Common Stock may be issued shall
be
made by each Subscriber as to only such Subscriber.
(d) “Excepted
Issuances”
shall
mean: (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger,
acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities
or assets of corporation or other entity which recipients of such securities
or
debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s
issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and
other
partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of
raising capital and, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the
issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option
plans and employee stock purchase plans described on Schedule 5(d) hereto,
(iv)
as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted
or issued pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) as a result of the exercise of
Warrants issued prior to the date of this Agreement and listed on Schedule
5(d).

written consent of the Subscribers. A Subscriber shall promptly provide the
Company with written notice of the assignment or delegation of any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement.
22
(c) Counterparts/Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed,

and delivered by facsimile transmission.
(d) Law
Governing this Agreement.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of New York without regard to conflicts
of laws principles
that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another
jurisdiction. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the
civil or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State
of New York. The
parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company
agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by
jury.
The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid
or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any
agreement.
(e) Specific
Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
To the
extent permitted by law, the Company and Subscriber acknowledge and agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled
to one or more preliminary and final injunctions to prevent or cure breaches
of
the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any
of
them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject to Section 13(d) hereof, each
of
the Company, Subscriber and any signator hereto in his or her personal capacity
hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York
of
such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing
in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
(f) Independent
Nature of Subscribers.
The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision
of
each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber
independently of any other Subscriber 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 Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no
Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any
Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. The
Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and
no
action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not
limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Subscriber in a registration statement and
(ii) review by, and consent to, such registration statement by a Subscriber)
shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising
out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for
any other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
for
such purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of
the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to
the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers
are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
23
(g) Damages.
In the
event a Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant to
the
Transactions, such Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages
or such liquidated damages.
(h) Consent.
As used
in the Agreement, “consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means the
consent of holders of not less than 70% of the total of the Shares issued and
issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes owned by Subscribers on the date
consent is requested.
(i) Equal
Treatment.
No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to
a
waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless
the
same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their
permitted successors and assigns.
(j) Maximum
Payments.
Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required
to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law,
any
payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be credited against amounts owed
by the Company to a Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.
(m) Captions:
Certain Definitions.
The
captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been
inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part
of
this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge
or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement
the term “person”
shall
mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation,
a
limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a
government or any department or agency thereof.
(n) Calendar
Days.
All
references to “days” in the Transaction Documents (as hereinafter defined) shall
mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms “business days” and
“trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for
trading for three or more hours. Time periods shall be determined as if the
relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York
City.
(o) Severability.
In the
event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined
to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to
applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination
shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability:
(i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision
were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms
and
provisions of this Agreement.
24
(p) Successor
Laws.
References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms
shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of
such laws, rules, regulations and forms. A successor rule to 144(b)(1)(i) shall
include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company
for
the sale of Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six
month holding period.
