“Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations

for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form
10-KSB”), its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 2007 (the “Form 10-QSB”) and
any Current Report on Form 8-K for events occurring since December 31, 2006
(“Forms 8-K”) filed by the Company with the SEC (the
Form 10-KSB, the Form 10-QSB and the Forms 8-K are collectively referred to
herein as the “SEC Documents”). Each of the
SEC Documents, as of the respective dates thereof (or, if amended or superseded
by a filing prior to the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), did
not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each SEC
Document, as it may have been subsequently amended by filings made by the
Company with the SEC prior to the date hereof, complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the
SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document.
(ii) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx. The
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company have
signed, and the Company has furnished to the SEC, all certifications required
by
Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. Such
certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified
therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Company nor
any
of its officers has received notice from any governmental entity questioning
or
challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing or submission
of such certifications. The Company is otherwise in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable effective provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations issued thereunder by the
SEC. 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 SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s
certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s
most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the
“Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying
officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures
based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.

redemption or other acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
of any outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock (and the Company has
not made any agreements to do any of the foregoing);
(ii) any
damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance, except for
such occurrences, individually and collectively, that have not had, and would
not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;
(iii) any
waiver by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of a valuable right or of
a
material debt owed to it, except for such waivers, individually and
collectively, that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have,
a
Material Adverse Effect;

a
material contract or arrangement by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries

subject;

conduct its or their respective businesses as currently conducted and as
described in the SEC Documents free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
other adverse claims, except where the failure to own or possess free and clear
of all liens, encumbrances and other adverse claims would not reasonably be
expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material
Adverse Effect.

the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of,
nor
has knowledge of, any infringement of or conflict with rights of others with
respect to any Intellectual Property and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has knowledge of any infringement, misappropriation or other
violation of any Intellectual Property by any third party, which, in either
case, either individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable

Adverse Effect.

material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or

Affiliate of the Company, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has,
directly or indirectly, engaged in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising with respect to any security or made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would cause the offering or issuance of the Purchased Securities to be

Act which would cause Regulation D or any other applicable exemption from
registration under the Securities Act to be unavailable, or would cause any
applicable state securities laws exemptions or any applicable stockholder
approval provisions exemptions, including, without limitation, under the rules
and regulations of any national securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated

the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur
any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any
multiemployer plan. There have been no “reportable events” (as such
term is defined in section 4043 of ERISA) with respect to any multiemployer
plan
that could result in the termination of such multiemployer plan and give rise
to
a liability of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate in respect
thereof. Neither the Company or any subsidiary has incurred or does
it expect to incur liability under Sections 412 or 4971 of the Code; and each
“pension plan” for which the Company would have any liability that is intended
to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the
Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether
by
action or by failure to act, which could reasonably be expected to cause the
loss of such qualification.
For
purposes of this section 3(aa) “Code” means the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986; “ERISA” means the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; “ERISA
Affiliate” means any person required to be aggregated with the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company under Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or
(o)
of the Code; “PBGC” means the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation; and “Plan” means any employee benefit
plan, program or arrangement, whether oral or written, maintained or contributed
to by the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or
with
respect to which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate
may
incur liability.
(bb) Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of
Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render
inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill
(including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar
anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or
similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is
or
could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and
the
Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this
Agreement, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of
the Purchased Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Purchased
Securities.
(cc) Purchaser
Representations. 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 4 hereof.
(dd) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the
Purchased Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect
of
the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii)
the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account
all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or
in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be
paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts
of
cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The SEC Documents
set forth as of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary, or for which the Company or
any
subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any liabilities for
borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts
payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (b) all guaranties,
endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of Indebtedness of
others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s
balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of
negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in
the
ordinary course of business; and (c) the present value of any lease payments
in
excess of $50,000 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.
11
(ee) No
Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no
disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by
the
Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly
or presently employed by the Company.
(ff) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Purchased 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 this Agreement 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 Purchased 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.
(gg) 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 Purchased
Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or, paid any compensation for
soliciting purchases of, any of the Purchased 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 and any approved
broker-dealers in connection with the placement of the Purchased
Securities.
(hh) Legend
Removal. The Company agrees, upon a Purchaser’s reasonable
request, to reissue certificates representing any of the Purchased Shares
without the legend set forth in Section 4(j)(i) below: (i) while a registration
statement covering the resale of such securities is effective under the
Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such securities pursuant to Rule
144
(assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such
Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (to the extent that the
applicable Purchaser provides a certification or legal opinion to the Company
to
that effect), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial
interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). Following the
effective date of a registration statement, which includes the Purchased
Securities, or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for the
Purchased Shares and the Underlying Shares, the Company will, promptly following
the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a
legended certificate representing such securities, deliver or cause to be
delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such securities that
is
free from all restrictive legends. If requested by a Purchaser,
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 with the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”).
12
(jj) 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 this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered
to all of the parties to such agreements. 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.
Representations,
Warranties and Certain Agreements of The Purchasers. Each
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not
jointly, and agrees that:
(a) Organization,
Good Standing and Qualification. The Purchaser has all
corporate, membership or partnership power and authority required to enter
into
this Agreement and the other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated
hereby, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.
(b) Authorization. The
execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
membership or partnership action on the part of the Purchaser. This
Agreement constitutes the Purchaser’s legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as may be limited by (A)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general
application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and (B) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of
equitable remedies and (ii) as rights to indemnity or contribution may be
limited under federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy
thereunder.
(c) Litigation. There
is no Action pending to which such Purchaser is a party that is reasonably
likely to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the transactions contemplated by
this
Agreement.
13
(d) Purchase
for Own Account. The Purchased Securities are being acquired
for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and
not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning
of the Securities Act, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right at
all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities
in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and as otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser also represents that it
has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Purchased
Securities.
(e) Investment
Experience. The Purchaser understands that the purchase of
the Purchased Securities involves substantial risk. The Purchaser has
experience as an investor in securities of companies and acknowledges that
it
can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Purchased Securities and
has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased
Securities and protecting its own interests in connection with this
investment.
(f) Accredited
Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act.
(g) Reliance
Upon Purchaser’s Representations. The Purchaser understands
that the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities to it will not be
registered under the Securities Act on the ground that such issuance and sale
will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section
4(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is based on each
Purchaser’s representations set forth herein.
(h) Receipt
of Information. The Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities and the
business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company and
to
obtain any additional information requested and has received and considered
all
information it deems relevant to make an informed decision to purchase the
Purchased Securities. Neither such inquiries nor any other
investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives
or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the
truth, accuracy and completeness of such information and the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
(i) Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased
Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and will not sell,
offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the
Purchased Securities unless (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion
of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, to
the
effect that a sale, assignment or transfer of the Purchased Securities may
be
made without registration under the Securities Act and the transferee agrees
to
be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (iii) such holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and
broker representation letters) that the Purchased Shares or the Underlying
Shares, as the case may be, can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) or (iv) pursuant to
Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act following the applicable
holding period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the Purchaser may transfer (without restriction and without
the
need for an opinion of counsel) the Purchased Shares to its Affiliates (as
defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor”
under Regulation D, and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser
hereunder.
14
For
the
purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any
specified Purchaser means any other person or entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
such
specified Purchaser. For purposes of this definition,
“control” means the power to direct the management and
policies of such person or firm, directly or indirectly, whether through the
ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(j) Legends.
(i) Purchased
Shares and Underlying Shares. The Purchaser agrees that the
certificates for the Purchased Shares and Underlying Shares shall bear the
following legend and that the Purchaser will comply with the restrictions on
transfer set forth in such legend:
|
“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.”
|
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 Purchased 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, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser
may transfer pledged or secured Purchased Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. 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 Purchased Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Purchased
Securities, 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.
15
In
addition, the Purchaser agrees that the Company may place stop transfer orders
with its transfer agent with respect to such certificates in order to implement
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement. The
appropriate portion of the legend and the stop transfer orders will be removed
promptly (but in no event later
than three (3) business days) upon delivery to the Company of such
satisfactory evidence as reasonably may be required by the Company that such
legend or stop orders are not required to ensure compliance with the Securities
Act. In addition, upon the declaration of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement which includes the Purchased Securities, the Company
shall cause its counsel to deliver a blanket opinion (or separate opinions
if
the transfer agent will not accept a blanket opinion) to its transfer agent
to
cause the stock certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares to be issued to
the
Purchasers free of any Securities Act restrictive legends assuming compliance
with the prospectus delivery requirements, to the extent required by Rule 172
of
the Securities Act. Each of the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Company will endeavor to remove any Securities Act restrictive legends pursuant
to this Section j(ii) upon the representation contained herein that the
Purchasers will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements, to the extent
required by Rule 172 of the Securities Act.
(ii) Purchased
Warrants. The Purchaser agrees that Purchased Warrants shall
bear the following legend:
|
“THIS
WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES
ACT”) OR WITH ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
OR DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
LAWS AND
RULES, OR, UNLESS, IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TIME SET FOR TRANSFER,
SUCH
TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES
ACT AND OTHER
APPLICABLE STATE LAWS AND RULES.”
|
(k) Questionnaires. The
Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Stock Certificate
Questionnaire, and the answers to such questionnaires are true and
correct as of the date of this Agreement; provided, that the Purchasers
shall be entitled to update such information by providing written notice thereof
to the Company before the effective date of the Registration
Statement.
(l) Prohibited
Transactions. During the last thirty (30) days prior to the
date hereof, neither such Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such Purchaser, foreign
or domestic, has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any
“short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO), whether or not
against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule
16a-1(h) under the 0000 Xxx) with respect to the Common Stock, borrowed or
pre-borrowed any shares of Common Stock, or granted any other right (including,
without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock
or
with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any
significant part of its value from the Common Stock or otherwise sought to
hedge
its position in the Company’ securities (each, a “Prohibited
Transaction”).
16
