to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein,
or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the

delivered by the Company to the Subscriber with or prior to the delivery of
written confirmation of the sale by the Subscriber to the person asserting the
claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have

furnished by any such Subscriber in writing specifically for use in such
registration statement or prospectus.
26
(ii) In
the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the 1933 Act

each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director
of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter
within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director,

otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration
statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 10, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained

furnished in writing to the Company by such Subscriber specifically for use in
such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that
the liability of the Subscriber hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds
actually received by the Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant

27
(iii) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of
any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other
than under this Section 10(h)(iii) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 10(f)(iii),
except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by
such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof,
the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 10(f)(iii) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to
indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to
the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably
may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the
indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate
counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and
to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and
other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the
indemnifying party as incurred.
(iv) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint
liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Subscriber, or
any controlling person of a Subscriber, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 10(h) but it is judicially determined (by the entry of
a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the
expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that
such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact
that this Section 10(h) provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Subscriber or
controlling person of the Subscriber in circumstances for which indemnification
is not provided under this Section 10(h); then, and in each such case, the
Company and the Subscriber will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from
others) in such proportion so that the Subscriber is responsible only for the
portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering
price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (y) the Subscriber will not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such
securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person
or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
10(h) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Subscriber hereunder shall be
limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Subscriber from the sale of
Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.
28
29
If the
Company has filed a Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement and the
Company undertakes a Subsequent Financing within twelve (12) months following
the Closing in which the Company (i) issues any warrants to purchase shares of
the Company’s capital stock (the “Subsequent Financing
Warrants”), then each Subscriber shall receive its Warrant Pro Rata
Portion of any such Subsequent Financing Warrants on the closing of any such
Subsequent Financing, on the same terms, rights, privileges and conditions as
contemplated by such Subsequent Financing or (ii) issues any security that pays
interest, dividends (other than dividends on common stock available to all
holders thereof) or similar consideration (collectively, the “Cash Payment”), then each
Subscriber shall receive its Pro Rata Payment, consisting of either (x) cash, or
(y) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case at the
Company’s option at the time of such Cash Payment (a “Payment Date”).
The
Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5)
days after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a “Subsequent Offering Notice”)
the Subscribers of the terms and conditions of any Subsequent Financing.
The Subsequent Offering Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the
proposed Subsequent Financing, the proposed closing date of the Subsequent
Financing, which shall be within twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the
Subsequent Financing Notice, and all of the terms and conditions
thereof.
30
For
purposes of this Section 11(c):
(i)
“Warrant Pro Rata
Portion” means the percentage of Subsequent Financing Warrants that such
Subscriber would have received had such Subscriber invested an amount equal to
its Purchase Price in such Subsequent Financing;
(ii)
“Pro Rata Payment” means
(a) if the payment to such Subscriber is made in cash, the amount of cash that
such Subscriber would have received had such Subscriber invested an amount equal
to its Purchase Price in such Subsequent Financing (the “Payment Amount”) or (b) if the
payment to such Subscriber is made in restricted shares of the Company’s common
stock, then an amount determined by dividing the Payment Amount by the Fair
Market Value, provided that if there is any decrease in the Cash Payment to the
Subsequent Financing investors then the Pro Rata Payment shall be decreased in
the same proportion; and
(iii)
“Fair Market Value”
shall mean (a) If the Company’s common stock is traded on an exchange or is
quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ
Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Alternext, then the
weighted average of the closing sale prices of the Company’s Common Stock for
the five (5) trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Payment
Date, discounted by fifteen percent (15%) or (b) If the Company’s Common Stock
is quoted on the Bulletin Board or in the over-the-counter market or Pink
Sheets, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the five
(5) trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Payment Date
discounted by fifteen percent (15%).
(i) Other
than in connection with Excepted Issuances, (x) if the Company’s actual after
tax net income under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2010 (“Actual 2010 Net Income”) is
less than $14,000,000 (“2010
Targeted Net Income”), or (y) if the Company’s actual after tax net
income under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011 (“Actual 2011 Net Income”) is
less than $18,000,000 (“2011
Targeted Net Income”, together with the 2010 Targeted Net Income, the
“Targeted Net Income”),
then the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, to each Subscriber on a
pro-rata basis (determined by dividing each Subscriber’s Purchase Price by the
aggregate Purchase Price delivered to the Company by the Subscribers hereunder),
additional amount of shares of Common Stock (the “Adjustment Shares”) equal to
the percentage of variation of the Actual 2010 Net Income and Actual 2010 Net
Income from the 2010 Targeted Net Income and 2011 Targeted Net Income
respectively times the number of Purchased Shares acquired by such Subscriber
pursuant to this Agreement. For example, if the Actual 2010 Net Income is
$12,600,000, which is a variation of 10% of the 2010 Targeted Net Income, then
the Company shall issue to each Subscriber, shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, equal to a total of 10% of the Purchased Shares acquired by such
Subscriber hereunder.
(ii) The
delivery to Subscriber of the Adjustment Shares shall be not later than the
third business day after the filing of a Form 10-K with the Commission declaring
the annual audited results.
31

(e) Law Governing this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the
other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state and county of New York. The parties to this Agreement
hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action
instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non
conveniens. The parties executing this Agreement
and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on
behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such
courts and hereby irrevocably waive trial by jury. The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision
of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is
invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable
under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Documents 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.
35
(f) Specific Enforcement,
Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Subscribers
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any
of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to
prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or
equity. Subject to Section 14(f) hereof, the Company and the
Subscribers hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any such suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is
brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(i) Calendar
Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction
Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms
“business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods
shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were
occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business
day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the
