4. Purchaser Representations and
Warranties. Each of the Purchasers hereby severally, and not
jointly with any other Purchaser, represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as
follows:
(a) Neither
the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares are registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state
securities laws and, except as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company has no present or future obligation to register the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws. Such Purchaser understands that the offering and
sale of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares is intended
to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section
4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or not
subject to such requirement, by virtue of Regulation S promulgated under the
Securities Act, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and
agreements of such Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
(b) Such
Purchaser has had access to the SEC Reports (as defined below) and has received
all other documents requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser has
carefully reviewed the SEC Reports and all such other documents and understands
the information contained therein.
(c) All
documents, records and books pertaining to the investment in the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares have been made available for
inspection by such Purchaser and its representatives. Such Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that all such information is confidential and such Purchaser
shall not disclose any such confidential information to any third party other
than as may be required by law.
3
(d) Such
Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the
offering of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and the
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the
Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of
such Purchaser. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation
conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel
shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth,
accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement.
(e) In
evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, such Purchaser has
not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other
than as stated in this Agreement.
(f) Such
Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of
the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or
general advertising as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities
Act, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other
communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio, in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing
for Units and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any
seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation
of a subscription by, a person not previously known to such
Purchaser.
(g) Such
Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person
for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h) Such
Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business
matters, and, in particular, investments in securities similar to the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares so as to enable such Purchaser to
utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units, the Shares, the
Warrants and the Warrant Shares and the Company and to make an informed
investment decision with respect thereto.
(i) Such
Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, officers or
agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations as to
an investment in the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and
such Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own
advisors.
(j) Such
Purchaser is acquiring the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a
view to resale, assignment or distribution thereof, in whole or in part in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
laws. Such Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or
informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares in violation of the Securities Act or
any state securities laws and such Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such
agreement or arrangement. Such Purchaser will not engage in hedging
transactions with respect to the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares unless in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
4
(k) Such
Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the
Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares indefinitely because none
of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may be sold,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available. Subject to the terms hereunder, legends
shall be placed on the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to
the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or
applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made
in the Company’s stock books.
(l)
Such
Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and
foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the
Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares for an indefinite period
of time.
(m) Such
Purchaser (i) meets the requirements of the suitability standards for an
“accredited investor” because such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company, limited liability partnership, other entity or
similar business trust, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Units, with total assets excess of $5,000,000 or (ii) is a “non-US Person” that
is a “qualified investor” as defined in the European Union Prospective
Directive. Such Purchaser further represents and warrants that it
will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon
the occurrence of any change occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the
Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares that renders the
representation made in the immediately preceding sentence. Such
Purchaser represents to the Company that any information which the undersigned
has heretofore furnished under this Section 4(m) or furnishes to the Company
pursuant to this Section 4(m) is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by
the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration
under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the
Offering.
(n) Such
Purchaser represents that it is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated
organization or other entity, and that (A) such Purchaser was not formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the Units, (B) such Purchaser is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is
authorized by, and will not result in a violation of law or the charter or other
organizational documents of such Purchaser, (D) such Purchaser has full power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related
agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof
and to purchase and hold the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares, (E) the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly
authorized by all necessary action of such Purchaser, (F) this Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such
Purchaser in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and general principles of
equity and (G) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser
will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction,
agreement or controlling document to which such Purchaser is a party or by which
such Purchaser is bound.
5
(o) Such
Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares and, at the present time, has a
sufficient net worth to sustain a complete loss of such investment in the
Company in the event such a loss should occur. Such Purchaser’s
overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not
excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase
of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive.
(p) THE
SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED
AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM, OR IN TRANSACTIONS NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES
OFFERED HEREBY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE

APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR
ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED
UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING. ANY REPRESENTATION TO
THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the
provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and
individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories,
persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at

representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. Such Purchaser
agrees to promptly notify the Company should such Purchaser become aware of any
change in the information set forth in Sections 4(r) - (t) of these
representations. Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by
law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of such Purchaser,
either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from such Purchaser, declining
any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in
compliance with governmental regulations. Such Purchaser further
acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to such Purchaser, suspend
the redemption rights, if any, of such Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems
it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations
applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service
providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals,
specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC
sanctions and embargo programs.

in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not, individually
or in the aggregate (a) adversely affect the legality, validity or

on the results of operations, assets, prospects, business or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company, taken as a whole, or (c) adversely

Effect for purposes of this Agreement.
(e) Filings, Consents and
Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any consent,
waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or
registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other
governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution,

Warrant Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance
with the terms of the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens. Assuming the accuracy of
the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 4, no
registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the
Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares by the Company to each of
the Purchasers as contemplated hereby. No shareholder approval is
required for the Company to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Agreement,

which may be issued in connection with this Offering and, except as described in
the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, script rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to
shares of Common Stock, or, rights or obligations convertible into or
exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire,
any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue additional
shares of Common Stock or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of
Common Stock. The issuance and sale of the Units will not obligate
the Company to issue shares of Common Stock, or Units to any Person (other than
the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company equity
to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any
outstanding securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company issued on and after May 24, 2006 are validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance with federal and state

respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and

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 its
subsidiaries and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, and
other statutory liens, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to
penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company or its subsidiaries is held by them under valid leases of which the
Company and its subsidiaries are in compliance, except as would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and its subsidiaries either own, or
have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar
rights that are necessary or material for use in connection with their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to
so have or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). The Company and
its subsidiaries have not (i) received a written notice that the Intellectual
Property Rights owned or used by the Company or its subsidiaries violates or
infringes upon the rights of any Person, or (ii) received a written invitation
to license any intellectual property rights of any Person in order to avoid such
a violation or infringement. To the knowledge of the Company, there
is no existing infringement of any of the Intellectual Property Rights by any
Person.
(o) Insurance. The
Company and its subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks, including, without limitation,
products liability, and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the
businesses in which the Company and its subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries 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 on terms
consistent with market for the Company’s and each of its subsidiary’s respective
lines of business.
11
(p) 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. 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
material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying
officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act,
as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company presented in its
most recent periodic report filed with the SEC, the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures.
(q) Lack of
Publicity. None of the Company, its subsidiaries or any person
acting on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any form of general
solicitation or general advertising as those terms are used in Regulation D
under the Securities Act in the United States with respect to the Units, the
Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, including, without limitation, any
article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio,
regarding the offering, nor did any such person sponsor any seminar or meeting
to which potential investors were invited by, or any solicitation of a
subscription by, a person not previously known to such investor in connection
with investments in the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares
generally. None of the Company, its subsidiaries or any person acting
on its or their behalf have engaged or will engage in any form of directed
selling efforts (as that term is used in Regulation S under the Securities Act)
with respect to the Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant
Shares.
(r) Certain
Fees. No brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or the like are
or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or
consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than
pursuant to the Engagement Letter Agreement dated February 20, 2008, issued by
Punk, Xxxxxx & Company, L.P., to the Company.
12
(s) Registration
Rights. Other than pursuant to (i) the Registration Rights
Agreement, (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2007 by
and among the Company and the holders signatory thereto and (iii) the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 24, 2006 by and among the Company
and the purchasers signatory thereto, and other than the Purchasers, no Person
has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company.
(t) Solvency. Based
on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date after giving
effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares
hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its 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 for the current fiscal year 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 debt 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. The SEC Reports set forth as
of the dates thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, or for which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries 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 of its subsidiaries is in default with respect to any
Indebtedness.
(u) 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 of its subsidiaries have filed all necessary
federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns or have timely filed
for valid extensions to the filing deadlines applicable to them with respect to
such taxes and has paid or accrued all taxes shown as due thereon, and the
Company has no knowledge of a tax deficiency which has been asserted or
threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
13
(v) 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.
(w) Shareholders Rights Plan;
Investment Company Act. No claim will be made or enforced by
the Company that any of the Purchasers is an “Acquiring Person” under any
shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter
adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the
provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Units,
Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares. The Company is not, and is not an
Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Units, will not
be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”).
(x) Disclosure. The
disclosure provided to each of the Purchasers regarding the Company, its
business and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of
the Company, including the SEC Reports, does 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.
6. Covenants of the Purchasers and the
Company.
(a) Transfer
Restrictions.
(1) The Units,
the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with
any transfer of such securities (or hedging activities involving such
securities) other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule
144, to the Company or to an affiliate of any Purchaser or in connection with a
pledge as contemplated below, 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.
(2) Each of
the Purchasers agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
6(a), of a legend on any of the Units, the Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares in the following form:
14
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN
AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SUCH EFFECT, THE
SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. ADDITIONALLY, HEDGING TRANSACTIONS IN RESPECT OF THESE
SECURITIES MUST BE EFFECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF
THE SECURITIES ACT, IF APPLICABLE. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN
CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR
OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS
DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH
SECURITIES.
(3) Certificates
evidencing Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth in Section
6(a)(2)): (i) following the resale of the Units or such Shares,
Warrants and/or Warrant Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act covering the resale of such Shares, or (ii) following
any resale of the Units or such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares pursuant to
Rule 144, or (iii) if the Units or such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are
eligible for resale under Rule 144(b) without volume limitations, 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 SEC). The Company agrees that following the time when a legend is
no longer required under this Section 6(a)(3), it will, no later than five (5)
trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares, Warrants or
Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s
transferee, as applicable, a certificate representing such Shares, Warrants or
Warrant 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. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to effect a
removal of a restrictive legend to the extent such legend is required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including any rule of the SEC
promulgated thereunder, and judicial interpretations thereof.
15
(4) Each of
the Purchasers agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from
certificates representing Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares as set forth in
this Section 6(a)(3)(i) or (ii) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that
such Purchaser will sell any Units, Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares pursuant
to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom.
(b) Furnishing of
Information. As long as any Purchaser owns any Units, Shares,
Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. If the Company is not required to file reports pursuant
to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to such Purchaser and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for such Purchaser to sell the Units, Shares, Warrants and Warrant
Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will
take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell such Units,
Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
(c) 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 Shares, in a manner
that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the
Units, the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares to the
Purchasers. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so
that it will not become subject to registration under the Investment Company
Act.
(d) Disclosure;
Publicity. No Purchaser shall issue any press release or
otherwise make any such public statement with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the Company, except if such
disclosure is required by law, in which case such Purchaser shall promptly
provide the Company with prior written notice of such public statement or
communication. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of
any Purchaser, or include the name of such Purchaser in any filing with the SEC
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 the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights
Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading
Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide such Purchaser with
prior notice of such disclosure permitted under sub clause (i) or
(ii).
(e) Indemnification of
Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(e),
the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its respective directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, a
“Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments,
amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a
result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or
(ii) any action instituted against any Purchasers, Purchaser Party or their
respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company or other person who is
not an Affiliate of any such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of
such Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or
any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such
stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser of state or federal securities
laws). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such
Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own
choosing. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party
except to the extent that (A) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing; (B) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
reasonably acceptable to such Purchaser Party or (C) 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. 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, conditioned 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.
16
(f) Indemnification of
Company. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(f), each
Purchaser, will indemnify and hold the Company and its directors, officers,
shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, a “Company 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 Company Party may suffer or incur as a result of or
relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or (ii) any action
instituted against the Company, or any Company Party or their respective
Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company or other person, with respect to
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if such action is based
upon a breach of the representation, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser
under this Agreement or any violation by such Purchaser of state or federal
securities laws. If any action shall be brought against any Company
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Company Party shall promptly notify the applicable Purchaser in writing,
and such Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with
counsel of its own choosing. Any Company 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 Company Party except to the extent that (A) the employment thereof has been
specifically authorized by such Purchaser in writing; (B) such Purchaser has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ
counsel reasonably acceptable to such Company Party or (C) in such action there
is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on
any material issue between the position of such Purchaser and the position of
such Company Party. No Purchaser will be liable to any Company Party
under this Agreement (I) for any settlement by a Company Party effected without
such Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (II) to the extent, but only to the extent
that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Company Party’s
breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made
by the Company in this Agreement.

(h) The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement
are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no
Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations

Purchaser to enter into this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser
independently of any other Purchaser. The Company further
acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by
any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a
partnership, an association, a joint venture of 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
hereby. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and
enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this
Agreement, 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 this Agreement and with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Company has elected to provide all
Purchasers with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company
and not because it was required or requested to do so by the
Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect
to this Agreement in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any
way acting in concert or as a group with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
