REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. Except
as
set forth under the corresponding section of the Disclosure
Schedules and except as disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Commission
made pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “SEC
Filings”),
which
Disclosure Schedules
and
SEC
Filings
shall be
deemed a part hereof, the Company hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth below to each Purchaser:
(a) Subsidiaries.
The
Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than as specified in the
SEC Reports. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.1(a), the Company owns, directly
or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary free and clear of
any
and all Liens, and all 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.

(b) Organization
and Qualification.
The
Company and each Subsidiary are duly incorporated or otherwise organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its
incorporation or organization (as applicable), with 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
of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of
the
Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct its respective
businesses and are 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, will not, individually
or
in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. As used in this Agreement, "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT" means except as
disclosed in the Company's SEC Reports, the financial statements and notes
thereto furnished to the Purchasers, or otherwise disclosed herein or in the
Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits hereto, any material adverse effect on the
business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken
as a whole, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(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 thereunder. The execution and
delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further
action is required by the Company in connection therewith. Each Transaction
Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company
and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation
or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(d) No
Conflicts.
Except
as
set forth in Schedule 3.1(d), the
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby
do
not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or
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, 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) 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,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect.
7
(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 registration with, any court
or
other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person
in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, other than (i) the filing with the Commission of one
or
more Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the
Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) filings required by state securities laws,
(iii) the filing of a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with the Commission
under Regulation D of the Securities Act, and (iv) those that have been made
or
obtained prior to the date of this Agreement.
(f) Issuance
of the Securities.
The
Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance
with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid
and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens. The Company has reserved from its
duly authorized capital stock the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to
this Agreement in order to issue the Shares.
(g) Capitalization.

any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound
to
issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights convertible
or
exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issue and sale of the Securities
will not, immediately or with the passage of time, obligate the Company to
issue
shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the
Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities
to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such
securities.

Company has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities

Permits.
The
Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory
authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in
the
SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not,

facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by
them
under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and the

applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, licenses and other similar rights that are 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, individually or in the

The
Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management
of the Company believes are prudent. The Company has no reason to believe that
it will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries’ existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms
consistent with market for the Company’s and such Subsidiaries’ respective lines

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.
(r) Internal
Accounting Controls.

specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is

3.1(r),
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 material information relating
to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared.
The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company’s controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K
under the Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or
fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its
most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q 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 significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such
term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or,
to
the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the
Company’s internal controls.
11
(s) Certain
Fees.
Except
as described in Schedule
3.1(s),
no
brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company
to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent,
investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Investors shall have no obligation with
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims (other than such fees or
commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by
such
Investor which fees or commissions shall be the sole responsibility of such
Investor) 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 this Agreement.
(t) Certain
Registration Matters.
Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of
the
Shares by the Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. The
Company is eligible to register its Common Stock for resale by the Investors
under Form S-3 or Form S-1 promulgated under the Securities Act. Except as
specified in Schedule
3.1(t),
the
Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any person any rights (including
“piggy‑back”
registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with
the
Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied.
(u) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements.
Except
as specified in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the two years preceding
the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that
the
Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements
thereof. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the
foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with the listing and
maintenance requirements for continued listing of the Common Stock on the
Trading Market on which the Common Stock is currently listed or quoted. The
issuance and sale of the Securities under the Transaction Documents does not
contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market on which the Common
Stock is currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the shareholders of
the
Company thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the
Investors the Securities contemplated by Transaction Documents.
12
(v) Investment
Company.
The
Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the
Closing will not have become, an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(w) Application
of Takeover Protections.
The
Company has 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 Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities
and the Investors’ ownership of the Securities.
(x) No
Additional Agreements.
The
Company does not have any agreement or understanding with any Investor with
respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other
than
as specified in the Transaction Documents.
(y) 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.
(z) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers' Purchase of Securities.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely
in
the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby. 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 this Agreement and
the
transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of
their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement
and
the transactions contemplated hereby 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 has been based solely
on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the
Company and its representatives.
(aa) Manipulation
of Price.
The
Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i)
taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in
the
stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for,
purchased, or, paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the
Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for
soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.
13
(bb) Disclosure.
The
Company confirms that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf has
provided any Investor or its respective agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material, non-public information except
insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions hereunder may
constitute such information. The Company understands and confirms that the
Investors will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to the
Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated
hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company (including the Company’s
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and correct
and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchasers.
Each
Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority.
Such
Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with full right,
corporate or partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the
part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has
been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser
in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as
limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive
relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Own
Account.
Such
Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have
not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not
with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part
thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and
has
no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the
distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting
such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws) in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the
ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does not have any agreement
or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of
the
Securities.
14
(c) Purchaser
Status.
At the
time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof
it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),
(a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act. Such
Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section
15
of the Exchange Act.
(d) Experience
of Such Purchaser.
Such
Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
so as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.
Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment.
(e) General
Solicitation.
Such
Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in
any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio
or
presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general
advertisement.
(f) Short
Sales and Confidentiality Prior To The Date Hereof.
Other
than the transaction contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly
or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any
understanding with such Purchaser, executed any disposition, including Short
Sales, in
the securities of the Company within
the fifteen months prior to the Closing Date. Each
Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it
in
connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction).
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make or has not
made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Section
3.2.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than
pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company,
or
to an affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated
in
Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to
the
Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing
to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser
under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
15
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR
TO
SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such
arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the
pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject
to
approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
no
notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense,
the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee
or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a
pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject
to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under
the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.
16
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following a sale or transfer of the Shares
pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) following any sale
of
such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 to any Person who is not an Affiliate of the
Company, or (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or
(iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the
Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by
the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue
a
legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent promptly after the Effective Date
if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend
hereunder. The
Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any
transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal
hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the
Purchasers by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker or custodian
with the Depository Trust Company System.
(d) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that
the
removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities
as
set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the
Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery
requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
4.2 Furnishing
of Information.
As long
as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof
pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, if
the
Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will
prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance
with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell
the
Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take
such
further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration.
The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a
manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the
sale
of the Securities to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer
or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any
Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the
closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before
the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, in compliance with applicable
securities laws, issue a Current Report on Form 8-K, reasonably acceptable
to
each Purchaser, disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereby, and shall attach the Transaction Documents thereto. The Company and
each
Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases
with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event,
shall
the Company be entitled to use the name of the Purchaser or Wellington
Management Company LLP in any press release without such
Purchaser’s
prior
consent.
17
4.5 Shareholder
Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the
knowledge of the Company, any other Person that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring
Person” under any shareholder rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in
effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be
deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue
of
receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other
agreement between the Company and the Purchasers. The Company shall conduct
its
business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment
Company Act.
4.6 Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants and agrees that other
pursuant to Section 4.13, neither
it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or
its
agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes
material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall
have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall
be
relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of
the
Company. With respect to information disclosed in a Subsequent Offering Notice
(as defined in Section 4.13), each Purchaser covenants that it shall keep
confidential, shall not act upon or use in any manner (except in accordance
with
the terms of Section 4.13), and shall not share or further disclose to any
other
party the information disclosed by the Company pursuant to Section 4.13 until
such information has been publicly disclosed by
the
Company.
4.7 Use
of
Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 attached hereto, the Company
shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working
capital purposes and not for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s
debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the
Company’s business and prior practices or regularly scheduled interest payments
on existing Indebtedness), to redeem any Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents or to settle any outstanding litigation.
4.8 Indemnification
of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company
will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers,
shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (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 (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Purchaser Party may suffer
or incur as a result of or relating to any breach in any material respect of
any
of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company
in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. 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. Any Purchaser Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the
Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense
and
to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion
of
such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the
position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party. But in no
event shall the Company be obligated to bear fees and disbursements of more
than
one law firm per Purchaser Party under the provisions of Section 4.9 or
otherwise. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this
Agreement (i) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the
Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim,
damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of
the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the applicable
Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
18
4.9 Listing
of Common Stock. The
Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common
Stock on a Trading Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable following
the
Closing (but not later than the earlier of the Effective Date and the first
anniversary of the Closing Date) to list all of the Shares on such Trading
Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common
Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will include in such application
all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause
all
of the Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.
The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing
and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all
respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the
bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.
4.10 Equal
Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of
any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered
to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. 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 to treat
for the Company 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.
4.11 Short
Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser severally
and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that neither it nor any
affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will
execute any Short Sales during the period after the execution
of this Agreement
and
ending three months after the Closing Date. Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that
until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly
disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will
maintain, the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Each
Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any
other
Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that coverage of
short sales of shares of the Common Stock “against the box” prior to the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement with the Securities is a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under
Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated
July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance.
19
4.12 Delivery
of Securities Upon Closing. Immediately upon closing each Purchaser will
deliver a wire transfer corresponding to its Purchase Amount set forth in the
signature pages hereto
4.13 Right
of Participation. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing
Date, each of the Purchasers shall have the aggregate right to participate
in up
to 35%
of any
offerings of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities
by the Company (such
offering being a “Subsequent Offering”).
The
Purchasers acknowledge that any right of participation conferred by this Section
4.13 is subject to all pre-existing rights of participation, rights of first
offer, rights of first refusal, and other pre-emptive rights that the Company
may have granted to other Purchasers, and the Company represents and warrants
that all of such rights have been disclosed in the Company’s SEC Filings. At
least seven business days prior to the closing of any Subsequent Offering,
the
Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, notice (the “Subsequent Offering
Notice”) of the proposed or intended Subsequent Offering. The Subsequent
Offering Notice shall (i) identify and describe the securities being offered
in
the Subsequent Offering, (ii) describe the price and other terms upon which
they
are to be issued, sold, or exchanged, and (iii) set forth the amount of
securities which are to be issued, sold, or exchanged under the Subsequent
Offering. In the event that a Purchaser wishes to participate in the Subsequent
Offering, such Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Company of such
Purchaser’s intention to participate within three business days of receipt of
the Subsequent Offering Notice, and each of the Purchasers acknowledge that
it
may participate in the Subsequent Offering only upon the same price and terms
at
which the Subsequent Offering is made available to other investors in such
offering. If the Purchasers wish to purchase more than 35% of such offering
in
the aggregate, the amounts to be so purchased shall be cut back proportionately
from all Purchasers who are seeking to purchase in excess of their respective
its
pro
rata shares (based on the Purchasers’ respective ownership of Common Stock of
the Company at the time) of such offering until the aggregate amount to be
so
purchased is equal to 35% of such offering. Any
information set forth in a Subsequent Offering Notice and any discussions
relating to or arising from the Subsequent Offering Notice shall be deemed
to be
information delivered as part of the Subsequent Offering Notice and therefore
subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 hereof.
4.14 Additional
Offering. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company shall
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement providing for
the
Company to, amongst other things, have the ability to offer and issue
subscription rights to purchase a minimum of $20,000,000 of Common Stock (the
“Shelf Registration Statement”). The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on
Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register on Form S-3,
in
which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
herewith). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
promptly as possible after the filing thereof. Within 30 days of the Shelf
Registration Statement being declared effective under the Securities Act, the
Company agrees that it shall offer subscription rights to purchase at least
$20,000,000 of Common Stock to then current holders of Common Stock; provided,
however, in the event that, subsequent to the Closing and prior to the date
30
days after the Shelf Registration Statement shall have been declared effective
under the Securities Act, the Company shall have raised a minimum of $10,000,000
in additional financing, through offerings of Common Stock or non-convertible
debt securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or otherwise,
then
the Company shall not be required to offer such subscription rights to purchase
Common Stock.
20
4.15 Future
Offerings. From the Closing Date until the date that is twelve (12) months
after the Closing Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer
or
sell any debt securities that are, at any time during its life and under any
circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, without the
prior written consent of a majority of the Purchasers.

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. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
5.7 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. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its
rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or
transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be
bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof
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 4.9.
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, shareholders, 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 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 manner
permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If
either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions
of
the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys’ fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
22
5.10 Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when
taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to
the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of
the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
5.11 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in
any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is
a
reasonable substitute therefore, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
5.12 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents,
whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under
a
Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind
or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to
the
Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.13 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in
lieu of and substitution therefore, a new certificate or instrument, but only
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft, or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
The
applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall
also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities.
5.14 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company
will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance
of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
5.15 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.
23
5.16 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in
any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any
Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document,
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to
constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in
any
way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction 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. The Company has elected to provide
all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the
Purchasers.
5.17 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.
