Gentlemen:
Outlook Sports Technology, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby confirms its agreement with
Xxxxxxx Davidson Securities Corporation, as representative (the "Xxxxxxx") of
the several underwriters listed on Schedule 1 annexed hereto (the
"Underwriters"), as set forth below.
The Company proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters 400,000 shares
of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"). The shares
of Common Stock being sold by the Company are referred to as the "Firm Shares."
In addition, for the sole purpose of covering over-allotments from the sale
of the Firm Shares the Company proposes to grant to the Underwriters an option
to purchase an additional 60,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Firm Option
Shares" or the "Option Shares"), all as provided in Section 2(c) of this
agreement (the "Agreement") and to issue to you the Representative's Warrant (as
defined in Section 2 hereof) to purchase certain further additional shares of
Common Stock. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are collectively referred
to herein as either the "Shares" or the "Securities."
1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents
and warrants to, and agrees with, the Underwriter that:
(a) A registration statement on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-63527), with
respect to the Securities and the Representative's Warrant Securities (as
hereinafter defined), including a prospectus subject to completion, has been
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act "), and one
or more amendments to that registration statement may have been so filed. Copies
of such registration statement and of each amendment heretofore filed by the
Company with the Commission have been delivered to the Underwriters. After the
execution of this Agreement, the Company will file with the Commission either
(i) if the registration statement, as it may have been amended, has been
declared by the Commission to be effective under the Act, a prospectus in the
form most recently included in that registration statement (or, if an amendment
thereto shall have been filed, in such amendment), with such changes or
insertions as are required by Rule 430A under the Act or permitted by Rule
424(b) under the Act and as have been provided to and approved by the
Underwriters prior to the execution of this Agreement, or (ii) if that
registration statement, as it may have been amended, has not been declared by
the Commission to be effective under the Act, an amendment to that registration
statement, including a form of prospectus, a copy of which amendment has been
furnished to and approved by the Underwriters prior to the execution of this
Agreement. The Company also may file a related registration statement with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act for purposes of registering
certain additional Securities, which registration statement shall become
effective upon filing with the Commission (the "Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement"). As used in this Agreement, the term "Registration Statement" means
that registration statement, as amended at the time it was or is declared
effective, and any amendment thereto that was or is thereafter declared
effective, including all financial schedules and exhibits thereto and any
information omitted therefrom pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and included
in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined), together with any Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement; the term "Preliminary Prospectus" means each prospectus
subject to completion filed with the Registration Statement (including the
prospectus subject to completion, if any, included in the Registration Statement
at the time it was or is declared effective); and the term "Prospectus" means
the prospectus first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Act or, if no prospectus is so filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement. The Company has caused to be delivered
to the Underwriters copies of each Preliminary Prospectus and has consented to
the use of those copies for the purposes permitted by the Act. If the Company
has elected to rely on Rule 462(b) and the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement
has not been declared effective, then (i) the Company has filed a Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement in compliance with and that is effective upon filing
pursuant to Rule 462(b) and has received confirmation of its receipt and (ii)
the Company has given irrevocable instructions for transmission of the
applicable filing fee in connection with the filing of the Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement, in compliance with Rule 111 promulgated under the Act or
the Commission has received payment of such filing fee.
(b) The Commission has not issued any order preventing or suspending
the use of any Preliminary Prospectus. When each Preliminary Prospectus and each
amendment and each supplement thereto was filed with the Commission it (i)
contained all statements required to be stated therein, in accordance with, and
complied with the requirements of, the Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder and (ii) did not include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. When the Registration Statement was or is declared
effective, it (i) contained or will contain all statements required to be stated
therein in accordance with, and complied or will comply with the requirements
of, the Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder and (ii) did not or will not include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. When the Prospectus and
each amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) (or, if the Prospectus or such amendment or supplement is not
required so to be filed, when the Registration Statement containing such
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto was or is declared effective) and
on the Firm Closing Date and any Option Closing Date (as each such term is
hereinafter defined), the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented at any such
time, (i) contained or will contain all statements required to be stated therein
in accordance with, and complied or will comply with the requirements of, the
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (ii) did not
or will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing
provisions of this paragraph (b) do not apply to statements or omissions made in
any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters specifically for use
therein.

Company is entitled as such to any preemptive or other right to subscribe for

Registration Statement and the Prospectus (and, if the Prospectus is not in

position of the Company as of the dates indicated and the results of operations
of the Company for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in effect
in the United States of America, consistently applied, except to the extent that
certain footnote disclosures regarding unaudited interim periods may have been
omitted in accordance with the applicable rules of the Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). The financial data
set forth under the caption "Summary Financial Information" in the Prospectus

Preliminary Prospectus), the information included therein.

by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and this Agreement
and the Representative's Warrant Agreement have each been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and each is a valid and binding agreement of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws
affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law), and except as rights to indemnity and contribution under this Agreement
may be limited by applicable law. The issuance, offering and sale by the
Company to the Underwriters of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or the

as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, certificates in definitive form
for such Option Shares, and payment therefor, shall be delivered on the related
Option Closing Date in the manner, and upon the terms and conditions, set forth
in paragraph (b) of this Section 2, except that reference therein to the Firm
Securities and the Firm Closing Date shall be deemed, for purposes of this
paragraph (c), to refer to such Option Shares and Option Closing Date,
respectively.
(d) On the Firm Closing Date, the Company will further issue and sell
to the Representative or, at the direction of the Representative, to bona fide
officers of the Underwriters, for an aggregate purchase price of $10, warrants
to purchase Common Stock (the "Representative's Warrant") entitling the holders
thereof to purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock for a period
of four years, such period to commence on the first anniversary of the Effective
Date. The Representative's Warrant shall be exercisable at a price equal to 150%
of the public offering price of the Common Stock, and shall contain terms and
provisions more fully described herein below and as set forth more particularly
in the warrant agreement relating to the Representative's Warrant to be executed

sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Representative's
Warrant shall be made for a period of 12 months from the Effective Date, except

Firm Securities for sale to the public upon the terms set forth in the

4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Underwriters that:
(a) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement, if not effective at the time of execution of this Agreement, to
become effective as promptly as possible. If required, the Company will file
the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto with the Commission in
the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) under the Act.
During any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be
delivered under the Act, the Company (i) will comply with all requirements
imposed upon it by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder to the extent necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or
dealings in the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the
Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, and (ii) will not file with the
Commission any prospectus or amendment referred to in the first sentence of
Section (a) (i) hereof, any amendment or supplement to such prospectus or any
amendment to the Registration Statement as to which the Underwriters shall not
previously have been advised and furnished with a copy for a reasonable period
of time prior to the proposed filing and as to which filing the Underwriters
shall not have given their consent. The Company will prepare and file with the
Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission,
promptly upon request by the Underwriters or counsel to the Underwriters, any
amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the
Prospectus that may be necessary or advisable in connection with the
distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, and will use its best
efforts to cause any such amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the Commission as promptly as possible. The Company will advise the
Underwriters, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or declared
effective or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been
filed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Underwriters of each such
filing or effectiveness.
(b) The Company will advise the Underwriters, promptly after
receiving notice or obtaining knowledge thereof, of (i) the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the
suspension of the qualification of any Securities for offering or sale in any
jurisdiction, (iii) the institution, threat or contemplation of any proceeding
for any such purpose, or (iv) any request made
by the Commission for amending the Registration Statement, for amending or
supplementing the Prospectus or for additional information. The Company will use
its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if any such
stop order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof as promptly as possible.
(c) The Company will, in cooperation with counsel to the
Underwriters, arrange for the qualification of the Securities for offering and
sale under the blue sky or securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
Underwriters may designate and will continue such qualifications in effect for
as long as may be necessary to complete the distribution of the Securities.
(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is
required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which
the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or if for any other reason it is necessary at
any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the
rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder, the Company will promptly
notify the Underwriters thereof and, subject to Section 4(a) hereof, will
prepare and file with the Commission, at the Company's expense, an amendment to
the Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus that
corrects such statement or omission or effects such compliance.
(e) Intentionally left blank.
(f) The Company will, without charge, provide to the Underwriters and
to counsel for the Underwriters (i) as many signed copies of the registration
statement originally filed with respect to the Securities and each amendment
thereto (in each case including exhibits thereto) as the Underwriters may
reasonably request, (ii) as many conformed copies of such registration statement
and each amendment thereto (in each case without exhibits thereto) as the
Underwriters may reasonably request, and (iii) so long as a prospectus relating
to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, as many copies of
each Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request.
(g) The Company, as soon as practicable, will make generally
available to its security holders and to the Underwriters an earnings statement

company" and will not be required to register under the Investment Company.
Such counsel also shall state in its opinion that it has participated
in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and that
nothing has come to its attention that has caused it to believe that the
Registration Statement, at the time it became effective (including the
information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of
effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A(b), if applicable), contained an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus, as of its date or as

omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
In rendering any such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of
fact, to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible
officers of the Company and public officials, copies of which certificates will

of the Act and the Rules and Regulations or are not fairly presented in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis

sheets, of the Company and excluding any questions requiring an interpretation

thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, or (ii) the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, any Preliminary Prospectus or
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Application, or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters
specifically for use therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth
immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as incurred, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer,
or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending against any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, action investigation, litigation or
proceedings, in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 7, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available
to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified
party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such
indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying
party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any
legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation,
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel
in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence or (ii) the
indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified
party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be
liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by
such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party.
(d) In circumstances in which the indemnity obligation provided for
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order
to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the
offering of the Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand
and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof). The relative
benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from
the Offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting
expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and
commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the
Underwriters, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, and the other
equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. The Company and the
Underwriters agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), the Underwriters
shall not be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate
exceeding the total public offering price of the Securities purchased by the
Underwriters under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages that
the Underwriters have otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or
any substantially similar claim, and no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who
controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section
20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Underwriters, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who
signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the 1934
Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
8. SUBSTITUTION OF UNDERWRITERS.
If any Underwriter shall for any reason not permitted hereunder cancel its
obligations to purchase the Firm Securities hereunder, or shall fail to take up
and pay for the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite names in Schedule 1
hereto upon tender of such Firm Securities in accordance with the terms hereof,
then:
(a) If the aggregate number of Firm Securities which such Underwriter
or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total
number of Firm Securities, the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase
the Firm Securities which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to
purchase.
(b) If any Underwriter so defaults and the agreed number of Firm
Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occurs is more than
10% of the total number of Firm Securities, the remaining Underwriters shall
have the right to take up and pay for the Firm Securities which the defaulting
Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase. If such remaining Underwriters do
not, at the Firm Closing Date, take up and pay for the Firm Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase, the time for delivery of
the Firm Securities shall be extended to the next business day to allow the
remaining Underwriters the privilege of substituting within twenty-four hours
(including nonbusiness hours) another underwriter or underwriters satisfactory
to the Company. If no such underwriter or underwriters shall have been
substituted as aforesaid, within such twenty-four hour period, the time of
delivery of the Firm Securities may, at the option of the Company, be again
extended to the next following business day, if necessary, to allow the Company
the privilege of finding within twenty-four hours (including nonbusiness hours)
another underwriter or underwriters to purchase the Firm Securities which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If it
shall be arranged for the remaining Underwriter or substituted Underwriters to
take up the Firm Securities of the defaulting Underwriter as provided in this
section, (i) the Company or the Underwriters shall have the right to postpone
the time of delivery for a period of not more than seven business days, in order
to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other document or arrangements, and the
Company agrees promptly to file any amendments to the Registration Statement or
supplements to the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the
respective numbers of Firm Securities to be purchased by the remaining
Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of the
underwriting obligation for all purposes of this agreement.
If in the event of a default by any Underwriter and the remaining
Underwriters shall not take up and pay for all the Firm Securities agreed to be
purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or substitute another underwriter or
underwriters as aforesaid, the Company shall not find or shall not elect to seek
another underwriter or underwriters for such Firm Securities as aforesaid, then
this Agreement shall terminate.
If, following exercise of the option provided in Section 2(c) hereof, any
Underwriter or Underwriters shall for any reason not permitted hereunder cancel
their obligations to purchase Option Shares at the Option Closing Date, or shall
fail to take up and pay for the number of Option Shares, which it became
obligated to purchase at the Option Closing Date upon tender of such Option
Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, then the remaining Underwriters or
substituted Underwriters may take up and pay for the Option Shares of the
defaulting Underwriters in the manner provided in Section 8(b) hereof. If the
remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall not take up and pay for
all such Option Shares, the Underwriters shall be entitled to purchase
the number of Option Shares for which there is no default or, at their election,
the option shall terminate, the exercise thereof shall be of no effect.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person
substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. In the event of termination,
there shall be no liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter to the
Company, provided that the provisions of this Section 8 shall not in any event
affect the liability of any defaulting Underwriter to the Company arising out of
such default.
9. SURVIVAL. The respective representations, warranties, agreements,
covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company, any of its officers
or directors and the Underwriter set forth in this Agreement or made by or on
behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Company, any of its officers or directors, the Underwriter or any
controlling person referred to in Section 7 hereof, and (ii) delivery of and
payment for the Securities. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities
and other statements set forth in Sections 4 and 7 hereof shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement.
10. TERMINATION.
(a) This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Firm
Securities or any Option Shares in the sole discretion of the Representative by
notice to the Company given prior to the Firm Closing Date or the related Option
Closing Date, respectively, in the event that the Company shall have failed,
refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on
its part to be performed or satisfied under Section 6 hereunder at or prior
thereto or if at or prior to the Firm Closing Date or such Option Closing Date,
respectively:
(1) the Company sustains a loss by reason of explosion, fire,
flood, accident or other calamity, which, in the opinion of the Underwriter,
substantially affects the value of the properties of the Company or which
materially interferes with the operation of the business of the Company
regardless of whether such loss shall have been insured; there shall have been
any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material
adverse change (including, without limitation, a change in management or control
of the Company), in the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), earnings or prospects of the Company, except in each case as
described in or contemplated by the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or
supplement thereto);
(2) any action, suit or proceeding shall be threatened,
instituted or pending, at law or in equity, against the Company, by any person
or by any federal, state, foreign or other governmental or regulatory
commission, board or agency wherein any unfavorable result or decision could
materially adversely affect the business, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), earnings or prospects of the Company;
(3) trading in the Common Stock shall have been suspended by the
Commission, the NASD or on Nasdaq, or trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall
have been established on either such exchange or quotation system;
(4) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or
United States authorities;
(5) there shall have been (A) an outbreak of hostilities between
the United States and any foreign power (or, in the case of any ongoing
hostilities, a material escalation thereof), (B) an outbreak of any other
insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or (C) any other
calamity or crisis or material change in financial, political or economic
conditions, having an effect on the financial markets that, in any case referred
to in this clause (5), in the sole judgment of the Underwriter makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement; and
(6) termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10
shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided
in Section 5(b) and Section 7 hereof.
