ARTICLE

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Company. Except as described in the SEC
Reports or any information contained or incorporated therein, the Company hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to each
Purchaser:
(a) Subsidiaries. All
of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company are described in the
Company’s SEC Reports. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all
of the capital stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear
of any Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and free
of preemptive and similar rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities.
(b) Organization and
Qualification. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an
entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, with
7
the
requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to
carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its
respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, except to the extent that any such default,
could not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse
effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document,
(ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business,
prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the
Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its
obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse
Effect”) provided, that none of the following alone shall be deemed, in
and of itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect: (i) a change in the
market price or trading volume of the Common Stock or (ii) changes in general
economic conditions or changes affecting the industry in which the Company
operates generally (as opposed to Company-specific changes) so long as such
changes do not have a materially disproportionate effect on the Company. Each of
the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such
jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or
curtail such power and authority or qualification.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each
of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by
the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection
therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have
been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms
(assuming due execution and delivery by all other parties thereto), 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.
(d) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale of the Securities
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
to which it is a party do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s or
8
any
Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a
default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or
(iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a
Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such
as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(e) Filings, Consents and
Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent,
waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or

delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other

requirements of the Securities Act, which became effective on November 27,

the time the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto became effective,
at the date of this Agreement and at the
9
Closing
Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto conformed and will
conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and,
as of their respective effective dates, did not and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and
the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, at time the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto was issued and at the Closing Date,
conformed and will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the
Securities Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a

or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relationships with their employees are good. No
executive officer, to the knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to
be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such
executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any
liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company
and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material 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 written 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 judgment, decree or
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is in violation of
any statute, rule, ordinance 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 currently conducted as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits could not 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. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all
Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of
federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor
subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under
lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries
are in compliance except where the failure to be in compliance would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights,
licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or
material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in
the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could reasonably expect to have
a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received
a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights
used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of
any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable 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
13
failure
to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Insurance. The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent
and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
engaged, including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance
coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be
able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires,
to the Company’s knowledge, 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 $120,000 other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services
rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company and
(iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock
option plan of the Company.
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company is in material compliance
with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 that are effective as of
the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by
the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the
Closing Date, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. 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
14
period
covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed
periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
(s) Certain
Fees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers shall have
no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or
on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that
may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
(t) Investment Company.
The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of
payment for the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that
it will not become an “investment company” subject to registration under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(u) Registration
Rights. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or in any
exhibit thereto, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
Company.
(v) Listing and Maintenance
Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has
the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as described in the SEC
Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof,
received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been
listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the
listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market.
(w) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken
all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its
state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a
result of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under
15
the
Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s
issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the
Securities.
(x) Disclosure. Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it
nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or
their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or
might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise
disclosed in the SEC Reports. The Company understands and
confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in
effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the
disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding
the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and
correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding
the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made and when 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.
(y) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
any applicable stockholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which
any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(z) Solvency. Based
on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date,
after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the
current cash position and projected 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
16
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 date hereof all
outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary,
or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the
purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means
(x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $150,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(y) 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 (z) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $150,000 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.
(aa) Tax
Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or accrued all taxes
shown as due thereon, and the Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which
has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary.
(bb) Foreign Corrupt
Practices. Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the
Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, has (i)
directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic
political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic
government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political
parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any
contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of
which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in
any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as amended.
(cc) Accountants. The
Company’s accounting firm is KPMG, LLP. To the knowledge and belief
of the Company, such accounting firm (i) is a registered public accounting firm
as required by the Exchange Act and (ii) shall express its opinion with respect
to the financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report for
the year ending June 30, 2010.
(dd) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that, to the Company’s knowledge, each of the Purchasers is acting
solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The
Company further acknowledges that 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
17
the
transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’
purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each
Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its
representatives.
(ee) Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or
elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding (except for Sections 3.2(e) and
4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of
the Purchasers have been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser
agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of
the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the
Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) past or future
open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including,
without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after
the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively
impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) any
Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such
Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short”
position in the Common Stock, and (iv) 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 (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at
various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including,
without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares
deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such
hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders'
equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging
activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such
aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the
Transaction Documents.
(ff) Regulation M
Compliance. The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting
on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay
to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other
securities of the Company, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii),
compensation paid to the Company’s placement agent in connection with the
placement of the Securities.

against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any

individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect. The properties, business and operations of the Company have
been and are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations of the FDA. The Company has not
been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale, license
or use in the United States of any product proposed to be developed, produced or
marketed by the Company nor has the FDA expressed any concern as to approving or
clearing for marketing any product being developed or proposed to be developed

3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and
for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and
as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date
therein):
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization with full right, corporate or partnership power
and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or
similar action, as applicable, 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) [RESERVED]
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises
any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 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) No Tax or Legal
Advice. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other materials presented to
such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities
constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser has
consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion,
has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the
Securities.
20
(f) Certain Transactions and
Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions
contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on
behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or
indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the
securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such
Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) as of the Company or any
other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the
transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the
execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the
representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of
assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to
purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to
other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the
confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein
shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with
respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available
shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the
future.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section
3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the
Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or
any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with
this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated
hereby.

time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance or
resale of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless
exercise, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be
issued free of all legends. If at any time following the date hereof
the Registration Statement is not effective or is not otherwise available for
the sale or resale of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly notify the
holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then
effective and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when the
registration statement is effective again and available for the sale or resale
of the Warrant Shares (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall
not limit the ability of the Company to issue, or any Purchaser to sell, any of
the Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws). The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration
statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance or
resale of the Warrant Shares effective during the term of the Warrants. Upon a
cashless exercise of a Warrant, the holding period for purposes of Rule 144
shall tack back to the original date of issuance of such Warrant if permitted by
Rule 144, any successor rule, law or policy.

4.2 Furnishing of
Information. Until the latest of the time that (i) all the
Warrants have been exercised or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company
covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company
is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and 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, including without limitation, 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, including without limitation, within the requirements of the
exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for
purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would
require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction
unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.4 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City

release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby,
and (b) issue a Current Report on Form 8-K, and including the Transaction
Documents as exhibits thereto, within the time required by the Exchange
Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company
shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to
any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as
required by federal securities law in connection with the filing of final
Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto) with the Commission
and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market
regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).
4.5 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 with the
Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser
shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in
securities of the Company.
22
4.6 Use of
Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder as described in the section entitled “Use of
Proceeds” in the Prospectus Supplement.
4.7 Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section
4.7, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors,
officers, stockholders, 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, stockholders,
agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a
“Purchaser
Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a
result of or relating to (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
in any capacity, 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 such 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 written opinion of counsel to the Purchasers furnished to the
Company, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the
Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company
shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one
such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any
Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party
effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made
by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents.
4.8 Reservation of Common
Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company
shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive
rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of
enabling the Company to
23
issue
Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of
the Warrants.
4.9 Listing of Common
Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market
on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company
shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such
Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company
applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will
then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will
take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as
possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary
to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and
will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.10 Participation in Future
Financing.
(a) From
the date hereof until the date that is the 12 month anniversary of the Closing
Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common
Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a
combination of units hereof (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, provided that, only in the event that the Subsequent
Financing is a registered offering on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, the
Participation Maximum shall equal 20% of the Subsequent
Financing. For purposes of clarity, in the event that the Subsequent
Financing is a registered offering on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, the
Purchasers shall collectively have a right of participation of an aggregate of
20% of the Subsequent Financing which shall be allocated in accordance with the
terms of this Section 4.10.
(b) At
least five (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 one (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 and the
Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to
be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto
as an attachment.
(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)
24
on the
fifth (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 representing and warranting 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 such notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (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 fifth (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 fifth (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 its Pro Rata Portion (as
defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion”
means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the
Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.10 and (y) the
sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing
Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.10.
(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 4.10, 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 30 Trading Days after the date of the
initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 4.10 shall not apply in respect of (i)
an Exempt Issuance
or (ii) an underwritten public offering of Common Stock.
4.11 Subsequent Equity
Sales. From the date hereof until 30 days after the Closing
Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any
agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; provided, however, that the 30
day period set forth in this Section 4.11 shall be extended for the number of
Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is
suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) the Registration Statement is not
effective or the prospectus included in the Registration Statement may not be
used by the Purchasers for the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of
an Exempt Issuance.
4.12 Equal Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of
any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser (or any
Affiliate of a
25
Purchaser)
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the
Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of
the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes,
this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the
Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 Certain Transactions and
Confidentiality. 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 purchases or sales,
including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period
commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence
and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any
representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting
transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced
pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no
Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in
any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from
and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in
Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the
Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as
described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio
managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the
portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the
covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets
managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase
the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.14 Capital
Changes. From the date hereof through April 30, 2010, 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 interest of the Shares.
ARTICLE
V.
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination.
This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, or by the Company with
respect to 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
26
March
___, 2010; 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 and
Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction
Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its
advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses
incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection
with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the
exhibits and schedules thereto, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement,
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

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 the Purchasers holding at least 67% in
interest of the Shares then outstanding 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
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
5.7 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other
than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights
under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers
any Securities, provided
27
that 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 Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.7.
5.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of
New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City
of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or
discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of
delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this
Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in
addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing
party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Securities.
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.
28
5.12 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, that in the
case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall
be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded
exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate
exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such
Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant
(including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such
restored right).
5.13 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.
5.14 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, and, if
requested by the Company, the posting of a customary bond. 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 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.
5.16 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
29
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 agree 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.
5.17 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, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have
chosen to communicate with the Company through WS. WS does not
represent any of the Purchasers and only represents Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, LLC,
the placement agent.
5.18 Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the
taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein
shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be
exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19 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. In addition, each and
every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction
Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits,
stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common
Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.20 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY
OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY,
IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
