qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the

otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii)

directors or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in
connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document has been

acquire, 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 Common Stock

Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state

3.1(i), no event, liability or development has occurred or exists with
respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective business,

Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.
(j) Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(j), there is no
action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or

(collectively, an "Action") which (i) adversely affects or challenges the
legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or
the Securities or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have
or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as

involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state
securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been,
and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated,

former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued

relates to such employee's relationship with the Company, and neither the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining
agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their

knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any
other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued
employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the
foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with
all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(l) Compliance. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(l), neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse
of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary
under), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim
that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it
is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not
such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has
been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and
local laws applicable to its business and all such laws that affect the
environment, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the
failure to possess such permits could not have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect ("Material Permits"), and neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and good and
marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to
the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and
clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do not materially affect the value
of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and
proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries
and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of
which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by
them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are in compliance.
(o) Patents and Trademarks. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or
have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions,
copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar
rights necessary or material for use in connection with their respective
businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have
could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the "Intellectual
Property Rights"). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a
notice (written or otherwise) that the Intellectual Property Rights used by
the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any
Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property
Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another
Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its
Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the
secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties,
except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by
insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in
which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not
limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the
aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing
insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business
without a significant increase in cost.
(q) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in
the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company and, to
the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary
(other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including
any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing
of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to
or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director
or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which
any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or
is an officer, director, trustee or partner, in each case in excess of
$60,000 other than (i) for payment of salary or consulting fees for
services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of
the Company and (iii) for other employee benefits, including stock option
agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.
(r) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in
material compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002
which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and the
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient
to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and
appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company
has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such
disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. The Company's
certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
the Company's most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act
(such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of
the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since
the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange
Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
(s) Certain Fees. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents, no
brokerage or finder's fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement
agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchasers
shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any
claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type
contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
(t) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the
Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. The
issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules
and regulations of the Trading Market.
(u) Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate
of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities, will not
be or be an Affiliate of, an "investment company" within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company shall conduct its
business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment
Company Act.
(v) Registration Rights. Other than the parties to the Registration
Rights Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement executed in
connection with the Employment Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, no
Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under
the Securities Act of any securities of the Company.
(w) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company's Common Stock
is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and
except as disclosed in SEC Reports, the Company has taken no action
designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of,
terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor
has the Company received any notification that the Commission is
contemplating terminating such registration. Except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(w), the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date
hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock
is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in
compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading
Market.
(x) 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 the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a
result of the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers'
ownership of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its
behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with
any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material,
nonpublic information. The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure furnished by or
on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure
Schedules to this Agreement, with respect to the representations and
warranties made herein are true and correct with respect to such
representations and warranties 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. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no
Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set
forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
(z) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers'
representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the
Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their
behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances
that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with
prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act or any
applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which
any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa) Solvency. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa), 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
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 Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to
believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the
bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from
the Closing Date. Schedule 3.1(aa) sets 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.
(bb) Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, the Company and each Subsidiary has filed all necessary
federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns and has paid or
accrued all taxes shown as due thereon (or received appropriate extensions
of time to pay the same), and the Company has no knowledge of a tax
deficiency which has been asserted or threatened against the Company or any
Subsidiary.
(cc) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person
acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities
by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has
offered the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers and certain other
"accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities
Act.
(dd) 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.
(ee) Accountants. The Company's accountants are set forth on Schedule
3.1(ee) of the Disclosure Schedule. To the knowledge of the Company, such
accountants, who the Company expects will express their opinion with
respect to the financial statements to be included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ending October 29, 2006, are a registered
public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act.
(ff) Seniority. As of the Closing Date, except for 600 shares of the
Company's 8.5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, no Indebtedness or
other equity of the Company is senior to the Preferred Stock in right of
payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or
dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase
money security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets
covered thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to
the property covered thereby).
(gg) 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 and, except as set forth on
Schedule 3.1(gg), the Company is current with respect to any fees owed to
its accountants and lawyers.
(hh) 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 thereby. The
Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial
advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the
Purchasers' purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to
each Purchaser that the Company's decision to enter into this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent
evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its
representatives.
(ii) Acknowledgement Regarding Purchasers' Trading Activity. Anything
in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(f) and 4.16 hereof), it is understood and
acknowledged by the Company (i) that none of the Purchasers have been asked
to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or
selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or "derivative"
securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the
Securities for any specified term; (ii) that past or future open market or
other transactions by any Purchaser, including Short Sales, and
specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or "derivative"
transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private
placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the
Company's publicly-traded securities; (iii) that any Purchaser, and
counter-parties in "derivative" transactions to which any such Purchaser is
a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a "short" position in
the Common Stock, and (iv) that each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have
any affiliation with or control over any arm's length counter-party in any
"derivative" transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges
that (a) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various
times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including,
without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying
Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined and (b)
such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing
stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that
the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that
such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of
the Transaction Documents.
(jj) 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, other than, in the
case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Company's
placement agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.
(kk) Form S-3 Eligibility. The Company is eligible to register the
resale of the Underlying Shares for resale by the Purchaser on Form S-3
promulgated under the Securities Act.
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 direct or
indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute
or 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.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, and on each date on which
it converts any shares of Preferred Stock or exercises any Warrants, it
will be 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 during the period
commencing from the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet
(written or oral) from the Company or any other Person setting forth the
material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder until the date
hereof ("Discussion Time"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a
Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate
portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's assets and
the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions
made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser's
assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to
the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has
maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection
with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction).
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.
(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:
[NEITHER] THESE SECURITIES [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE
SECURITIES ARE [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAVE 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 AND
THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THESE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT 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.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain
any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i)
while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement)
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act,
or (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144,
or (iii) if such Underlying 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. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock or
any portion of a Warrant is converted or exercised (as applicable) at a
time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale
of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under
Rule 144(k) or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable
requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying
Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that
following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer
required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading
Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's
transfer agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as
applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the
"Legend Removal Date"), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser
a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive
and other legends. 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
Underlying Shares 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
System.
(d) In addition to such Purchaser's other available remedies, the
Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages
and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the
VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the
Company's transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend
and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per
Trading Day 5 Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for
each Trading Day commencing on the second Trading Day after the Legend
Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing
herein shall limit such Purchaser's right to pursue actual damages for the
Company's failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as
required by the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the
right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including,
without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive
relief.
(e) 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, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of
distribution set forth therein.
4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance
of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The
Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation its obligation to issue the Underlying
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and
not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction,
regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have
against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance
may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3 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, to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
4.4 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.
4.5 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise
included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the
Restated Certificate set forth the totality of the procedures required of the
Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Preferred Stock. No
additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required
of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Preferred Stock.
The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the
Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the
terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m.
(New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof,
issue a press release in connection with the execution of this Agreement, and
shall as soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement (and in
any event within the timeframe provided under applicable law) issue a Current
Report on Form 8-K, 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, and neither
the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release or otherwise
make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with
respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of
each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is
required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the
other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name
of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the
Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in
connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including
signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the
Company shall, where practicable, provide the Purchasers with prior notice of
such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii).
4.7 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the
Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any
Purchaser is an "Acquiring Person" under any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or similar anti-takeover 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.
4.8 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the
Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its
behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement 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.
4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and not for
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),
to redeem Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or to settle any outstanding
litigation.
4.10 Reimbursement. If any Purchaser becomes involved in any capacity in
any Proceeding by or against any Person who is a stockholder of the Company
(except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by
such Purchaser to or with any other stockholder), solely as a result of such
Purchaser's acquisition of the Securities under this Agreement, the Company will
reimburse such Purchaser for its reasonable and actual legal and other expenses
(including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection
therewith, provided that appropriate documentation is supplied regarding such
items) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The
reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend
upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Purchasers who are
actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners,
directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may
be, of the Purchasers and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Company, the Purchasers and any such Affiliate and any
such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any such
Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall
have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or
in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under
this Agreement, except if such claim arises primarily from a breach of such
Purchaser's representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction
Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any
such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal
securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance.
4.11 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.11, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its
directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and
any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such
titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who
controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents,
members, shareholders, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a
"Purchaser Party") harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a
result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in
the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a
Purchaser, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of
the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action
is based upon a breach of such Purchaser's representations, warranties or
covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the
Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser
which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance).
If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall
promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably
acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has
been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable 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, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more
than on such separate counsel. 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 such
Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
4.12 Reservation and Listing of Securities.
(a) The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents
in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under
the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and
otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 130% of (i) the
Actual Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the
Board of Directors of the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to amend the Company's certificate or articles of incorporation to increase
the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least
the Actual Minimum at such time (minus the number of shares of Common Stock
previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as
possible and in any event not later than the 120th day after such date;
provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a
number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number
of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time
pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
(c) The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner
required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such
Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number
of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Actual Minimum on the date
of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of
Common Stock to be approved for listing on such Trading Market as soon as
possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such
listing, and (iv) maintain the listing of such Common Stock on any date at
least equal to the Actual Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or
another Trading Market. In addition, the Company shall hold a special
meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of
shareholders) at the earliest practical date, but in no event later than
August 15, 2006, for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with
the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors that such proposal
be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in
connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals
in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall
vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. The Company shall file a
proxy statement for such purpose with the Commission no later than the
fifth Trading Day following the receipt by the Company of a fairness
opinion in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
4.13 Participation in Future Financing.
(a) From the date hereof until the date that is the 12 month
anniversary of the Effective Date, upon any issuance by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a
"Subsequent Financing"), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate
in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the
Subsequent Financing (the "Participation Maximum") on the same terms,
conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
(b) At least 10 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent
Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of
its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing ("Pre-Notice"), which
Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of
such financing (such additional notice, a "Subsequent Financing Notice").
Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser,
for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later
than 3 Trading Days after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing
Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in
reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the
amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person or Persons
through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected,
and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document relating
thereto.
(c) Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing
must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the 10th Trading Day after such Purchaser has received
the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the
Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Purchaser's participation, and that
the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment
on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company
receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such 10th Trading Day, such
Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not
elect to participate.
(d) If by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10th Trading Day after
all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the
Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing
(or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less
than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may
effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and
with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) If by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10th Trading Day after
all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company receives
responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to
purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each
such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase the greater of (a) their
Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum and (b)
the difference between the Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount
of participation by all other Purchasers. "Pro Rata Portion" is the ratio
of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.13 and (y) the sum of the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.13.
(f) The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent
Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of
participation set forth above in this Section 4.13, if the Subsequent
Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not
consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent
Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after the date of the initial
Subsequent Financing Notice.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.13 shall not apply
in respect of (i) an Exempt Issuance or (ii) a firm commitment underwritten
public offering of Common Stock with a nationally recognized and reputable
investment bank with gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000.
4.14 Subsequent Equity Sales.
(a) From the date hereof until 90 days after the Effective Date,
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents; provided, however, the 90 day period set forth
in this Section 4.14 shall be extended for the number of Trading Days
during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by
any Trading Market, or (ii) following the Effective Date, the Registration
Statement is not effective or the prospectus included in the Registration
Statement may not be used by the Purchasers for the resale of the
Underlying Shares.
(b) From the date hereof until such time as the Purchasers hold less
than 10% of the Securities, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting
or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Financing involving
a "Variable Rate Transaction". The term "Variable Rate Transaction" shall
mean a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or
equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable
for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock
either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for
the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange
price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial
issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of
specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the
business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters
into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of
credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined
price.
(c) Unless Shareholder Approval has been obtained and deemed
effective, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell or grant any
option to purchase or sell or grant any right to reprice its securities, or
otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any sale, grant or any option to
purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective
price per share that is lower than the highest of the then conversion price
of the Preferred Stock or the then exercise price of the Warrants (if the
holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at
any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset
provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise,
or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in
connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common
Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the exercise price
of the Warrants, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less
than the exercise price of the Warrants). Any Purchaser shall be entitled
to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such
issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect
damages.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.14 shall not apply
in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction
shall be an Exempt Issuance.
4.15 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 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.
4.16 Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser
severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers covenants that neither it
nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it
will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing at the Discussion Time
and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6. 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 4.6, 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 A, of the
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty
or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of
the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's
assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such
Purchaser's assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect
to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.
4.17 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D
with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a
copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take
such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to
obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the
Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the
states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly
upon request of any Purchaser.
4.18 Capital Changes. Until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date,
the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or
reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the shares of Preferred Stock. In
addition, the Corporation shall not redeem more than a de minimis number of
Junior Securities (as defined in the Restated Certificate) other than as to
repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents from departing officers
and directors of the Corporation, provided that, while any of the Preferred
Stock remains outstanding, such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of
$100,000 from all officers and directors.
ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS
5.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to
such Purchaser's obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on
the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice
to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before
August 31, 2006; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the
right of any party to xxx for any breach by the other party (or parties).
5.2 Fees and Expenses. At the Closing, the Company has agreed to reimburse
vFinance, Inc. ("vFinance") the non-accountable sum of $50,000, for its legal
fees and expenses. The Company shall deliver, prior to the Closing, a completed
and executed copy of the Closing Statement, attached hereto as Annex A. If,
following execution of this Agreement, the Closing does not occur within six
months of the date hereof solely as a result of the acceptance by, or consent
of, the Board of Directors and/or shareholders of the Company of or relating to
an offer from a third party to purchase a majority in interest of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (or other similar transaction
resulting in a change of control including, without limitation, by way of merger
where the Company has accepted or consented to such transaction), then the
Company will pay a breakup fee to the Purchasers and vFinance, aggregating
$150,000; payable $50,000 to DKR Oasis; $50,000 to vFinance and $50,000 to FW;
provided further, however, that the payment of $150,000 shall not be made in
connection with the Schedule TO filed by Modern Technology Corp. on April 5,
2006 and the related tender offer. Except as expressly set forth in the
Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and
all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company
shall pay all transfer agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied
in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchasers.
5.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits
and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties
acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

hereto.
5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived,
modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and each Purchaser or, in the case of a
waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is
sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the
future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision,
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to
exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.
5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect
any of the provisions hereof.
5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any
Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person
to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the
"Purchasers".
5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced
by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.11.
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
State of New York, County of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State
of New York, County of New York for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 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 reasonable and actual attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and other
agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery, exercise
and/or conversion of the Securities, as applicable for the applicable statue of
limitations.
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or ".pdf" signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to
achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such
term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared
to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of
the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right,
election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not
timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then
such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time
upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in
whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided,
however, in the case of a rescission of a conversion of the Preferred Stock or
exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of
Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice.
5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing
any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue
or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a
new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant
for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any
reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the
issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 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 and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action
for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered
from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common
law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been
made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees
not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist
any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury
laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with
any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to
enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly
agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the
Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed
the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"),
and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or
default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the
nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the
Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum
contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction
Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by
applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to
indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be
applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such
indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess
to be at such Purchaser's election.
5.18 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations
of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein
or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of
this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be
necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own
separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction
Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their
respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through FW. FW
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only vFinance. 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.
5.19 Liquidated Damages. The Company's obligations to pay any partial
liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a
continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid
partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the
fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated
damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.20 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.
