REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations,
Warranties and Agreements of Magnetech and the Company.
Magnetech and the Company hereby makes the following representations and
warranties to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement, all of which
shall
survive the Closing:
(a) Organization
and Qualification.
The
Company is a corporation, duly incorporated and validly existing under the
laws
of the State of Indiana, with the requisite corporate power and authority to
own
and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. The Company has no subsidiaries other than as set forth on
Schedule
3.1(a)
attached
hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
Each
of the Subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company, duly
incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be,
with the full corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Each of the Company
and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
as
a foreign corporation or limited liability company in each jurisdiction in
which
the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in
good
standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have
a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects,
or
financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a
“Material
Adverse Effect”).
(b) Authorization,
Enforcement.
The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by each other Transaction
Document and to otherwise carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby has been duly authorized by all necessary action
on the part of the Company. Each of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents has been or will be duly executed by the Company and
when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company
in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
5
applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization.
The
authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is set forth
on
Schedule
3.1(c).
No
shares of Common Stock or any other class of the Company’s securities are
entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor is any holder of the Common Stock
entitled to preemptive or similar rights arising out of any agreement or
understanding with the Company by virtue of this Agreement.
(d) Issuance
of Securities.
The
Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance, offer and sale
pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered as provided hereunder
against payment in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms. The Company covenants that it has available out of its authorized and
unissued common stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons, such number of shares of Common Stock
as
shall be issuable in connection with this Agreement. When issued in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued,
fully
paid and non-assessable. Other than the Series A Preferred, there is no equity
or equity equivalent security outstanding that is convertible into shares of
Common Stock.
(e) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with
or
violate any provision of its Articles of Incorporation or bylaws (each as
amended through the date hereof) or (ii) be subject to obtaining any
consents except those referred to in Section 3.1(f), conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or
its
Subsidiaries is subject (including, but not limited to, those of other countries
and the federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any
property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiaries is bound or affected,
except in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii), such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted in violation
of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, the result
of
which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Consents
and Approvals.
Except
as specifically set forth in
Schedule 3.1(f)
and
except as required under Regulation D and applicable Blue Sky laws, neither
the
Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court
or
other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person,
in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents

with the consents, waivers, authorizations, orders, notices and filings referred
to in Schedule 3.1(f),
the
“Required
Approvals”).
(g) Litigation;
Proceedings.
Except
as specifically disclosed in
Schedule 3.1(g),
there
is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending
or,
to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before
or by any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) which (i) relates to or challenges
the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents
or
the Shares, (ii) could, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect or (iii) could, individually or in the aggregate, materially
impair the ability of the Company to perform fully on a timely basis its
obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(h) No
Default or Violation.
Except
as set forth in Schedule 3.1(h)
hereto,
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation

to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, except
such conflicts or defaults as do not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) is
in
violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, except
for
such violations as do not have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) is in
violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority

validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (y) have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (z) adversely impair the Company’s ability or obligation to perform
fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement.
(i) Disclosure
Documents.
The
Disclosure Documents are
accurate in all material respects 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.
(j) Non-Registered
Offering.
Neither
Magnetech, the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has taken or will
take any action (including, without limitation, any offering of any securities
of the Company under circumstances which would require the integration of such
offering with the offering of the Securities under the Securities Act) which
might subject the offering, issuance or sale of the Shares to the registration
requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser.
The
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Magnetech and the Company as
follows:
(a) Authority.
The
Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents
and
to otherwise carry out his obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the acquisition of the Shares by the
Purchaser (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part
of
the Purchaser, and (ii) in cases where Purchaser is not an individual, such
execution, delivery and acquisition will not violate the provisions of the
organizational documents of Purchaser or any agreement, obligation, law, rule,
regulation or order to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
If
Purchaser is an
7
individual,
the Purchaser represents that he is at least twenty-one (21) years of age and
has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement, the address set forth
Schedule
1
is
Purchaser’s true and correct principal residence, and Purchaser has no present
intention of relocating such principal residence to any other state or
jurisdiction. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Purchaser and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except as
such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally
the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by other general principles
of equity.
(b) Investment
Intent.
The
Purchaser (i) is acquiring the Shares to be purchased hereunder, and will
acquire the Shares for his own account for investment purposes only and not
with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares, or any part thereof
or
interest therein, without prejudice, however, to such Purchaser’s right, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any part of such Shares pursuant to a registration under federal
and
applicable state securities laws, or an exemption therefrom based on an opinion
of legal counsel acceptable to the Company that an exemption is available;
and
(ii) has not attempted to sell or offered for sale any of the Shares. The
Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares with the funds of any other Person nor
acting as an underwriter or a conduit for the sale of the Shares to the public
or to others. The Purchaser is not a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) and for a period of 12 months prior to the
date of this Agreement, has not been affiliated or associated with any company,
firm, or other entity that is a member of the NASD.
(c) Experience
of Purchaser.
The
Purchaser, either alone or together with his representatives, has such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
so as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares
to be acquired by Purchaser hereunder, and has obtained, in his or her own
judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate such merits and
risks. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about and experienced in investments
in
the equity securities of non-publicly traded companies. The Purchaser represents
that he is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of
Regulation D of the Securities Act.
(d) Ability
of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment.
The
Purchaser understands that there is no assurance as to the viability or future
performance of the Company. The Purchaser recognizes that an investment in
the
Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk including, but not
limited to, the risk of economic losses from operations of the Company and
the
potential loss of investment. The Purchaser understands that no market for
the
Shares exists and none may develop in the future. The Purchaser is able to
bear
the economic risk of an investment in the Shares to be acquired by him or her
hereunder and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such
investment. The commitment
of the Purchaser to investments which are not readily marketable or transferable
is not disproportionate to the net worth of the Purchaser, and
investment in the Shares will
not
cause such commitment to become excessive.
The
Purchaser has no need for liquidity with respect to the Shares.
(e) Access
to Information.
The
Purchaser acknowledges that he has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask
such
questions as Purchaser has deemed necessary of, and to
8
receive
answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the Shares offered hereunder; (ii) access to information about the Company
and the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business,
properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable Purchaser to evaluate
an investment in the Shares; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional
information which the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision
with
respect to the investment and to verify the accuracy and completeness of the
information that Purchaser has received about the Company. The Purchaser
represents that all of his questions concerning the Company and the Shares
have
been answered to his full satisfaction.
(f) Investment
Decision.
Except
for the Disclosure Documents, the Purchaser has not received or relied on any
representation or warranty from Magnetech or the Company or any of their
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or other representatives
(including, but not limited to, any representations or warranties from
Strasbourger Xxxxxxx Tulcin Xxxxx Inc.) in respect of Purchaser’s investment in
the Shares, and has relied upon his own investigation in evaluating the risks
and merits of making a decision to purchase the Shares. The Purchaser has had
the opportunity to discuss the consequences of his investment decision with
his
legal and tax advisors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and
notwithstanding any other representation or warranty made by Magnetech or the
Company, Purchaser acknowledges that neither Magnetech nor the Company has
made
any representation or warranty with respect to any projections, estimates,
or
budgets of future revenues, expenses, or expenditures or future results of
operations.
(g) Transferability
of Shares.
Purchaser acknowledges that the transferability of the Shares is severely
limited and that the Purchaser must continue to bear the economic risk of this
investment for an indefinite period as these Securities have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law in
reliance on an exemption therefrom for transactions not involving a public
offering and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold without an effective
registration statement for such Shares under
the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or
an
opinion of counsel for the Corporation that registration is not required under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
Further, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has no right to compel
registration and the Company has no intention of registering the Securities
or
to take the action required to make Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, available for resale of the Shares.
(h) Legend
on Shares.
The
Purchaser acknowledges that a restrictive legend will be placed on the
certificate for the Shares, substantially in the following form:
“The
shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities law of any state.
These shares may not be sold or offered for sale unless they have first been
so
registered or unless the Company receives a written opinion from legal counsel
acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required.”
(i) Reliance.
The
Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Shares being offered and
sold to Purchaser hereunder are being offered and sold without registration
9
under
the
Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration
provisions of the
Securities Act
under
Rule 506 of Regulation D
and
without registration under the securities laws of any states, and (ii) the
availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that the Company will
rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the representations made by
Purchaser in this Agreement as well as any additional information that Purchaser
has furnished regarding his or her own financial position, business experience
or any matters, and such Purchaser hereby consents to such
reliance.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser makes no representations
or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those
specifically set forth in this Section
3.2.
SECTION

Act.
4.2 Notice
of Certain Events.
The
Company shall, on a continuing basis prior to Closing, advise the Purchaser
promptly after obtaining knowledge of, and, if requested by the Purchaser,
confirm such advice in writing, of any event that makes any statement
of a
material fact made by the Company in Section
3.1
or in
the Disclosure Documents untrue or that requires the making of any additions
to
or changes in Section
3.1
or in
the Disclosure Documents in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Purchaser agrees
that the representations and warrantees made by Purchaser in Section 3.2 shall
be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of such
Closing Date.
4.3 Modification
to Disclosure Documents.
If any
event shall occur prior to Closing as a result of which, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company or the Purchaser, it becomes necessary or advisable
to
amend or supplement any of the Disclosure Documents in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances at the time such
Disclosure Documents were delivered to the Purchaser, not misleading, or if
it
becomes necessary to amend or supplement any of the Disclosure Documents to
comply with applicable law, the Company shall promptly prepare an appropriate
amendment or supplement to each such document in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to both the Purchaser and Company so that, as so amended or
supplemented, each such document will not include an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time
it is
delivered to the Purchaser, not misleading.
4.4 Blue
Sky Laws. The
Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the exemption
from
registration of the Shares under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the Purchasers may request; provided,
however,
that
neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be required in connection
therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation where they are not now so
qualified. The Company agrees that it will execute all necessary documents
10
and
pay
all necessary state filing or notice fees to enable the Company to qualify
for
an exemption from registration of the Shares and sell the Shares to the
Purchasers.
4.5 Integration.
The
Company shall not and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no Affiliate
shall 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 Shares
to
the Purchaser.
4.6 Solicitation
Materials.
The
Company shall not (i) distribute any offering materials in connection with
the
offering and sale of the Shares other than the Disclosure Documents and any
amendments and supplements thereto prepared in compliance herewith or (ii)
solicit any offer to buy or sell the Shares by means of any form of general
solicitation or advertising.
4.7 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification.
(i) The
Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without
limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its
officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates, each Person who controls
the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act) (each such Person, a “Control
Person”)
and
the officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates of each such Control
Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against
any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without
limitation, costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”),
as
incurred, arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(ii) The
Purchaser shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement and without
limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers,
directors, agents and employees, each Control Person and the officers,
directors, agents and employees of each Control Person, to the fullest extent
permitted by application law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred,
arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser under this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents.
(b) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
If any
Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity
hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”),
such
Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought
(the “Indemnifying
Party”)
in
writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party
and
the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense
thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities
pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it
11
shall
be
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination
is
not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have
proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses;
or
(2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense
of
such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such
Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Party
and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised
by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel
were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which
case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing
that
it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party,
the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of the
claim against the Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control the

effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of

as
incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the

No
right
of indemnification under this Section shall be available as to a particular
Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable final judicial determination
that
such Losses arise solely out of the negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified
Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party under this
Agreement or a breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this
Agreement.
(c) Non-Exclusivity.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition
to any obligation or liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the

SUMMARY
This
is a
summary of the information contained in this Memorandum. You should read
carefully the entire Memorandum, including the “Risk Factors” section and all
appendices and exhibits to this Memorandum, to understand fully the Company’s
business operations, the Offering and the risks associated with an investment
in
the Corporation’s shares of common stock.
THE
COMPANY
Magnetech
Integrated Services Corp. (the “Corporation”) is the holding company for
Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. (“MIS” or the “Company”). MIS was founded in
July 2000 with the purchase of the electric motor and magnet assets of
Delta
Star Electric, Inc., (“Delta Star”), an electric motor and magnet shop in South
Bend, Indiana. The goal was to build a “Best in Class” industrial services
company to provide “Innovative Service Solutions”. In August 2001, MIS acquired
the operating assets of Xxxxx Industrial Services, which added locations
in
Hammond, Indiana and Boardman, Ohio. In March 2002, additional locations
were
added through the acquisition of three Grand Eagle shops based in Indianapolis,
Indiana, Huntington, West Virginia and Mobile, Alabama. In March 2003,
MIS
started internally the Power Systems Group which created the Merrillville,
Indiana location.
The
Company operates with five primary business groups at this time.
· Motor
Group
· Magnet
Group
· Power
Systems Group
· Field
Service Group
· Education
and Training Group
MIS
has
one wholly owned subsidiary, Xxxxxxx Electric LLC (“ME” or the “Subsidiary”),
formed in 2001. This Subsidiary became active in mid-2002 to take advantage
of
the Company’s expertise in electrical contracting. Although revenues were not
material in 2003, ME is expected to grow in 2004 and beyond. ME provides
a wide
range of electrical contracting services, mainly to industrial, commercial
and
institutional customers in the Indiana area.
The
Motor
Group provides maintenance and repair services to the electric motor
industry,
including AC and DC motors. The Company’s shops service a range of major
industries, including steel, railroad, marine, petrochemical, pulp and
paper,
mining, automotive and utilities. The largest motor repaired in an MIS
shop to
date has been a 10,000 HP AC unit. As part of the motor repair shops,
services
are also provided for the repair of gear boxes, pumps and other rotating
equipment.
The
Magnet Group repairs and manufactures industrial lifting magnets. The
Company
believes based on industry experience and market information it is one
of the
largest magnet repair operations in the United States and one of the
top three
manufacturers of industrial lifting magnets in the U.S. In 2003, the
Magnet
Group expanded its business and began exporting
7
magnets
to Europe, Asia and South America. MIS holds three US patents including
two
industrial lifting magnet products not yet in operation. One of these
products
is, however, in production and is expected to be in operation later in
2004. The
other patent relates to a magnetic grapple design which is expected to
be
available for production within the next 18 months and in operation shortly
thereafter.
The
Power
Systems Group provides engineering and repair services for electrical
power
distribution systems within industrial plants and commercial facilities.
This
includes the repair and maintenance of electrical switchgear and substations
and
routine circuit breaker testing, cleaning and upgrading. The Company
prepares
power surveys and engineering studies to address potential electrical
problems
within a facility or process system.
The
Field
Service Group provides on-site services in all areas of the Company’s business.
This group offers predictive and preventative maintenance programs and
the
MagnetracTM asset management program. Predictive maintenance services
include
the following areas: vibration analysis and trending, thermographic imaging
and
analysis, tribology and oil particle analysis and trending, ultrasonic
testing
and motor circuit evaluation and analysis. MIS believes it has technologically
advanced personnel and equipment available for these services. Preventative
maintenance services include services done on-site to help extend equipment
reliability and life span. The MagnetracTM asset management program provides
a
monitoring service to help with predictive and preventative maintenance
for
electro liftinY magnets and associated systems. During 2004, the Company
intends
to adapt further the Magnetrac m program for motors and other equipment
that
would be suitable to tracking purposes along with predictive and preventative
maintenance.
The
Education and Training Group provides custom and standardized training
in the
area of industrial maintenance. The Company has a multi-craft training
program
that is recognized by Vincennes University in Vincennes, Indiana, that
allows
participants to earn college credits for approved programs offered by
the
Company. Customized training programs and skills testing programs are
also
provided in this area. The Education and Training group exemplifies the
Company’s commitment to offering in-house training for its own
personnel.
In
addition to the five primary groups of service, MIS also offers miscellaneous
services in other synergistic areas such as:
Custom
machining;
Transformer
repair;
Generator
repair;
Pump
repair;
Shaft
Assemblies and Rolls; and
Brake
Assemblies.
8
The
Motor, Power System and Field Service Group customers are located primarily
east
of the Mississippi River where the Company’s service centers are located. The
Company’s Magnet Group customers are located throughout the United
States.
The
Company markets its products and services through internal and external
sales
forces combined with a number of resellers. There can be no assurance
that the
Company will achieve successful and profitable results from its sales
and
marketing efforts.

The
Motor, Power System and Field Service Group customers are located primarily
east
of the Mississippi River where the Company’s service centers are located. The
Company’s Magnet Group customers are located throughout the United
States.
MARKETPLACE
Based
on
industry statistics and internal research, the Company believes that
the size of
the US markets in which the Company operates could be worth as much as
$24bn per
year. Having achieved just over $15m in revenue in 2003, the Company
thus
believes it has significant market share to aim for.
The
magnet market is linked largely to the steel industry, and operates in
the areas
of manufacturing, service or scrap. The recent consolidation in the steel
industry seems to have subsided, and the oversupply of used magnets on
the
market appears to have been absorbed. Given its high fixed cost base
and the
significant adverse consequences of downtime, this industry attaches
more
importance than most to the increasing trend of preventative and
12
predictive
maintenance. Not only does this benefit the customer in lower overall
costs, it
allows the Company to better plan its workloads and efficiencies.
The
motor
market is the largest segment in which the Company operates. According
to recent
statistics from the US Department of Energy, in US industry, process
motor
systems account for 63% of electricity use and HVAC motor systems account
for
6%. Therefore, all types of motor systems account for 69% of all industrial
electricity consumption in the United States. According to the Current
Industrial Reports MA335H by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census,
“the
quantity of all motor and generator sales in the US was estimated at
340 million
units with a total value of almost $13bn.... Statistics on electric motor
rewinding and repair are not as readily available as those for new motor
sales
because of the nature of the motor repair industry. Larger motors are
often
rewound several times, while smaller motors are usually replaced with
new ones
because of the relative cost of rewinding versus replacement. In 1999,
the motor
rewind market was estimated at 2.4 million units and $1.6 bn in
revenue.”
The
Company operates in a variety of industries, including transportation,
manufacturing and refining.
Field
service work is carried out generally for industrial companies. Increasingly
these companies are looking at out-sourcing as a way of reducing overall
costs,
as well as providing additional flexibility at times of peak work loads.
This
trend provides additional opportunities for the Company as it grows and
is able
to offer extended geographical coverage. Power systems group work is
conducted
either on-site or in-house.
The
Company’s largest customers in 2003 included International Steel Group, Marathon
Ashland Petroleum, CSX Transportation, USS Corporation and Union Pacific
Railroad.
COMPETITION
The
level
of competition the Company faces varies depending on the Company’s business
group. In magnets, there are four other principal suppliers of magnets
based in
the US, including Xxxxxx, Ohio Magnets, Xxxxxx and CMT. The Company believes
that it is one of the largest magnet repair operations in the United
States and
one of the top three manufactures of industrial lifting magnets.
In
motors, the largest single supplier of new motors is believed to be General
Electric. In addition, they have a national network of motor repair centers.
However, in general the industry is highly fragmented. According to a
report by
Indian River Consulting Group issued in June 2003, (The State of the
EASA
Industry - EASA - Electrical Apparatus Service Association), there were
2,137
active EASA service centers in the US. The total number is thus likely
to be
considerably higher because there are service centers that do not belong
to
EASA. Of these, it was estimated that only 5% (106) had revenue in excess
of
$15m, and 80% had revenue less than $5m. In the same report, a survey
found that
the most important criteria for doing business with certain vendors was,
in
order of importance, (i) Customer Service, (ii) Delivery, (iii) Price,
(iv)
Service capabilities and (v) Brands carried. It is the combination of
these
factors that the Company believes has been important in its success to
date and
how it differentiates itself in the market place as well as the increasing
geographical footprint of the Company.
13
The
Company also benefits from dealing with approximately 250 customers with
currently active accounts, with the top 10 customers accounting for just
over
51% of total revenue in 2003. No one customer accounted for more than
10% of the
Company’s total revenue.
GEOGRAPHICAL
FOOTPRINT
With
its
head office and main facility located in South Bend, Indiana, the Company
operates from seven locations in total including operations in Hammond,
Indianapolis and Merrilville in Indiana, Xxxxxxxx (Ohio), Huntington
(West
Virginia) and Mobile (Alabama). These locations provide good coverage
across the
Midwest, although it is planned that more locations will be added as
and when
opportunities arise. The customer base served by these locations varies
depending on the business group within which they operate.
Within
magnets, the nature of the work is that the magnets travel to wherever
the most
cost effective location is to make the repairs or other work required.
On this
basis, the exact location is less important than access to efficient
transportation and the skills (people, equipment, technology etc.) to
be able to
conduct the necessary work to the standards and timescales
required.
Within
motors, the customer base within a service location territory varies
based on
the size and complexity of the motor work required. Small motors (say,
up to
500hp) are repaired generally on a more localized basis, within up to
50-100
miles of the service location. This distance increases, and may be up
to 400
miles for the larger motors (say, over 2000hp). Additional locations
will then
act as feeder locations for South Bend or other large shops, where facilities
exist to handle these larger and more complex motors.
This
radius of customer coverage generally also holds true for power systems
work as
well as field service work. The Company thus believes that by expanding
its
locations gradually and on a selected basis, it can open up new opportunities
across the various business groups within which the Company operates
today, and
leverage its existing skills and resources further. This has been evidenced
to
some degree by the rapid growth in sales revenue, from $3,271,000 in
2001 to
$15,279,000 in 2003.
VALUE
PROPOSITION
As
detailed above, MIS has grown rapidly over the last two years. The Company
believes that the range of services it offers is an advantage over its
potential
competitors, many of whom are repair-only shops. As part of broadening
its value
proposition, the Company has been focusing more on its predictive maintenance
services. These include vibration analysis and trending, thermographic
imaging
and analysis, tribology and oil particle analysis and trending, ultrasonic
testing and motor circuit evaluation and analysis. MIS believes it has
technologically advanced personnel and equipment available for these
services.
Preventative maintenance services include services done on-site to help
extend
equipment reliability and life span. The MagnetracTM asset management
program
provides a monitoring service to help with predictive and preventative
maintenance for electro lifting magnets and associated systems. During
2004, the
Company intends to adapt further the MagnetracTM program for motors and
other
equipment that would be suitable to tracking purposes along with predictive
and
preventative maintenance.
14
This
focus on preventative and predictive maintenance is supported by industry
data.
The June 2003 EASA Report predicted that in the next three years, outsourced
service expenditures would increase by nine percent as compared to fix-it
repairs (53% v 47%).
The
Company also focuses on education and training, recognizing the need
to improve
skill and technology levels. The Education and Training Group provides
custom
and standardized training in the area of industrial maintenance. The
Company has
a multi-craft training program that is recognized by Vincennes University
in
Vincennes, Indiana, which allows participants to earn college credits
for
approved programs offered by the Company. Customized training programs
and
skills testing programs are also provided in this area. The Education
and
Training Group exemplifies the Company’s commitment to offering in-house
training for its own personnel.
The
foregoing points reflect the Company’s overall objective to increase the
reliability of the customer’s equipment, reduce operating costs and extend
equipment life.
MARKETING
AND SALES STRATEGY
The
Company today uses internal and external sales staff to generate business
in the
various business groups in which the Company operates. This is expected
to
continue and if and when new locations are opened, the Company believes
will
further increase sales.
The
education and training courses that are conducted bring customers and
their
staff a better understanding of the Company’s range of products and services, as
well as raising skill levels generally. The Company believes that this
helps
build stronger relationships, and make it more likely that customers
will turn
to the Company first when they need help.
The
Company is also looking constantly to improve the range of technologies
either
available to its employees internally, or to offer to its customers.
During
2004, the Company intends to further adapt the MagnetracTM program for
motors
and other equipment that would be suitable to tracking purposes along
with
predictive and preventative maintenance. Not only will this help add
value to
the service proposition offered to its customers, it will further differentiate
the Company from the smaller, less well-equipped service locations.
The
Education and Training Group provide custom and standardized training
in the
area of industrial maintenance. The Company has a multi-craft training
program
that is recognized by Vincennes University that allows participants to
earn
college credits for approved programs offered by the Company. Customized
training programs and skills testing programs are also provided in this
area.
This group exemplifies the Company’s commitment to offering in-house training
for its own personnel.
RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company leases real estate for its operations in South Bend and Hammond,
Indiana, Boardman, Ohio and Mobile, Alabama from several different limited
liability companies, all of which are indirectly owned by Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx,
the
President and Founder of the Company and the majority shareholder of
the
Corporation. For the 2004 fiscal year of the Company, the total estimated
rental
payments payable by the Company under all such lease agreements is $292,525.
In
addition to rental payments due under the lease agreements, the Company
is
responsible for
15
the
payment of all utilities, taxes and assessments, maintenance and repairs,
insurance and other expenses relating to the real estate.
The
Company has received two loans from Xx. Xxxxxxx. The first loan (the
“5-Year
Loan”) is in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and is payable over a term
of 60
months (the “Initial Term”), unless the term is extended as described below. The
5-Year Loan bears interest at a rate of 1 % below the prime rate, which
rate is
adjusted on the first business day of each month during the Initial Term.
Interest only is payable on the outstanding principal balance of the
5-Year Loan
on the first day of each month during the Initial Term. The first interest
payment was made on February 1, 2004. The entire principal balance and
all
accrued interest are due and payable on December 31, 2008. As noted,
however,
the Company may extend the 5-Year Loan for an additional 60 months (the
“Extended Term”). If the 5-Year Loan is extended, the Company must make equal
monthly principal installments of $50,000, plus accrued interest during
the
Extended Term, commencing on February 1, 2009. All remaining principal
and
accrued interest is due on December 31, 2013. During the Extended Term,
the
5-Year Loan will bear interest at the prime rate plus 1%, adjusted monthly.
The
5-Year Loan is unsecured.
The
second loan received by the Company from Xx. Xxxxxxx (the “Short-Term Loan”) is
in the principal amount of $196,000. The Short-Term Loan bears interest
at the
prime rate and is adjusted monthly. The entire principal balance and
all accrued
interest thereon is due and payable by the Company on December 31, 2004.
The
Short-Term Loan is unsecured.

FINANCIAL

statements include the separate and combined financial statements of
MIS and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Xxxxxxx Electric LLC (“ME”).

Note
the
above numbers only reflect MIS for true comparative purposes. ME only
began
operations in the second part of 2002 and its operations are not deemed
to be
material in that period. In 2003, ME achieved sales revenue of $212,000
and a
net loss of $74,000.
The
above
results also reflect MIS’s investment in infrastructure - both new locations and
personnel - ahead of the incremental contribution from additional revenue.
The
Company expects to be able to leverage such benefits as the business
continues
to grow, although there can be no assurance that either will in fact
be the
case.
19
RISK
FACTORS
BUSINESS
RISKS
You
should consider carefully the risks described below and all of the other
information in this Private Placement Memorandum before making a decision
to
invest in the offered securities.
The
Company has a short operating history, which may make it difficult to
forecast
accurately future revenues and other operating results.
MIS
began
its current operations in July 2000. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Xxxxxxx
Electric LLC, only began operations in late 2002. As a result, we have
a limited
operating history upon which an evaluation of its business and prospects
may be
made. The Company’s limited operating history may make it difficult or
impossible for analysts or investors to accurately forecast its future
revenues
and other operating results.
The
Company has incurred net losses since inception, and may not be as profitable
as
anticipated.
For
the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 we incurred net losses totaling
$1,039,000.
This reflects investment in the infrastructure of the business to support
a
higher level of revenue than that being currently achieved. While the
Company
believes it is nearing a profitable level of revenue, there can be no
guarantee
that this level, or a profitable revenue mix, will ever be achieved.
The Company
expects to continue to make substantial expenditures for sales, infrastructure
and other purposes, which may be fixed in the short term. As a result,
we can
provide no assurance as to the level, if any, of profitability in 2004
and
beyond. The ability to increase revenues and achieve and maintain profitability
in the future, will primarily depend on the Company’s ability to increase sales
of its existing products and services, maintain a reasonable cost structure
and
expand its geographical coverage. No assurance can be given that the
Company
will be able to increase its revenue at a rate that equals or exceeds
expenditures.
The
Company has numerous competitors in its industry that offer services
and
products that could compete with the Company’s services and products and that
have greater financial and other competitive resources than the
Company.
The
markets for repairing, rebuilding and manufacturing industrial magnets
and
repairing specific electric motors are highly competitive and management
does
not expect any reduction in this competition in the future. An increase
in
competitive pressures in these markets or our failure to compete effectively
may
result in pricing reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market
share.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name
recognition, more customers and significantly greater financial, marketing,
technical and other competitive resources than the Company. As a result,
these
companies may be able to adapt more quickly to new technologies and changes
in
customer needs, or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion
and
sale of their products and services. While the Company believes its overall
product and service proposition is distinguishable from those of its
competition, the competition could develop new products or services that
could
directly compete with the Company’s products and services.
20
The
Company has limited experience in making acquisitions, and its limited
management may be distracted from its existing operations.
Although
the Company has opened new locations in recent years, further significant
growth
is anticipated to come from the addition of new locations or acquisitions.
There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in finding suitable
acquisitions, or that they will be available at prices acceptable to
the
Company. In addition, as the number of locations increases, new management
will
be needed for these locations, as well as increasing the complexity of
the
operations for the corporate management. There can be no assurance that
we will
be able to find suitable management for these operations as its needs
increase.
The
Company may have to reduce or cease operations if it is unable to obtain
the
funding necessary to meet its future working capital
requirements.
MIS’s
future revenues may be insufficient to support the expenses of its operations
and the expansion of the business. The Company may therefore need additional
equity or debt capital to finance operations. If we are unable to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain funds through additional
financing, we may have to reduce some or all of the sales and marketing
efforts.
Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents balances,
along with
the existing line of credit, including the potential net proceeds from
the
proposed Offering should be sufficient to meet on-going capital requirements
for
at least the next eighteen months. We may however, require additional
funding
sooner than anticipated. We may face significant risks associated with
the
successful execution of our business strategy and may need to raise additional
capital in order to fund more rapid expansion, to expand our marketing
activities, to develop new, or enhance existing, services or products
and to
respond to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary services,
businesses or technologies. If we are not successful in generating sufficient
cash flow from operations, we may need to raise additional capital through
public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements.
Additional capital, if needed, might not be available on terms acceptable
to us,
or at all. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable
terms, we may be unable to develop or enhance our products and services,
take
advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures
or
unanticipated requirements which may have a material adverse effect on
our
business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, if additional
capital were raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage
of
our stock owned by our then-current stockholders would be further reduced.
Furthermore, these equity securities might have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of our common and convertible preferred
stock.
Strain
on the Company’s resources caused by its rapid growth may result in the
inability to effectively manage the business.
MIS’s
business plan and financial projections are based on its projected rapid
growth
and geographic expansion. MIS’s current systems, management and resources may be
inadequate if the Company continues to grow rapidly in size and complexity.
Any
rapid expansion may place significant strain on the administrative, operational
and financial resources of the Company. In addition, management may be
unable to
effectively manage the business if they are unable to timely and successfully
alleviate the strain on our resources caused by rapid growth.
21
The
Company may be unable to adequately expand its operational systems to
accommodate growth, which could harm its ability to deliver its
technology.
The
Company’s operational systems have not been tested at the customer volumes that
may be required in the future. The Company may encounter performance
difficulties when operating with a substantially greater number of customers.
In
implementing new systems, the Company may experience periodic interruptions
affecting all or a portion of its systems. Such interruptions could harm
the
Company’s ability to deliver its products and services and could result in the
loss of current customers
The
Company’s ability to execute its business plan will be impaired if it does not
retain key employees.
The
Company’s future success will depend largely on the efforts and abilities of
senior management and key staff performing technical development, operations,
customer support and sales. These employees are not obligated to continue
their
employment with MIS and may leave the Company at any time. Departure
by key
employees may impair the Company’s ability to succeed.
Operating
results may vary because of factors management cannot
control.
The
Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a
result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond management’s control.
These factors include the costs of new technology, the relative speed
and
success with which the Company can acquire customers for its products
and
services, capital expenditures for equipment, sales and marketing and
promotional activities and other costs, changes in the Company’s pricing
policies, suppliers and competitors, changes in operating expenses, increased
competition in the Company’s markets, and other general economic and seasonal
factors.
The
Company is dependent on its executive officers and additional management
that
will be hired in the future to effectuate its business
plan.
The
loss
of the services of one or more of the Company’s executive officers could have a
material adverse effect on the business, operating results and financial
condition of the Company. Management cannot guarantee that it will be
able to
retain its key personnel. The future success of the Company also depends
on
management’s continuing ability to attract, assimilate and retain highly
qualified sales, technical and managerial personnel, as well as outside
directors. There can be no assurance that management can attract, assimilate
or
retain such personnel in the future. The Company does not currently maintain
key
man insurance for any of its executives.
The
Corporation’s shares are not publicly traded and are subject to certain
limitations on transfer. As a result, investors may have to hold their
shares
for a long time without the ability to liquidate their equity
interest.
Investors
should be aware of the potentially long-term nature of their investment
in the
shares of the Corporation. The offer and the sale of the shares of Common
Stock
will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities
laws. The Corporation is offering these
22
shares
of
Common Stock pursuant to exemptions from registration, which depend in
part upon
investor’s investment intent. Investors will be required to represent that they
are purchasing such Securities for their own account for investment purposes
and
not with a view to resale or distribution, Investors may not transfer
their
shares unless such transfer is registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such securities
laws is
available. The shares will contain a legend to such effect. As a condition
to
any transfer, the Corporation may require the transferor to provide it
with an
opinion of legal counsel stating that the transfer is legal. There is
no public
trading market for the shares and there can be no assurance that any
trading
market will develop. Accordingly, investors may be required to bear the
economic
risks of their investment for an indefinite period of time.
Management
of the business is controlled by Magnetech’s officers and directors who will be
able to dictate all of its policies and actions, which investors will
be unable
to control since they will be minority shareholders.
After
giving effect to all of the shares of the Offered Securities that could
be
issued in this Offering, Xx. Xxxxxxx will maintain control of a majority
of such
shares, on a fully diluted basis. Consequently, Xx. Xxxxxxx will be able
to
elect a majority of the Corporation’s directors and thereby control the
management policies of the Corporation and the Company as well as determine
the
outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval by majority
action.
The terms of the Placement Agency Agreement provide that the Placement
Agent may
elect two of the Corporation’s five directors, but Xx. Xxxxxxx will still elect
a majority of the directors.
OFFERING
RISKS
The
Price of the Offering was arbitrarily determined.
The
offering price of the shares of Common Stock and other terms of the Offering
were determined by the Company and the Placement Agent, in their sole
discretions through arms-length negotiations, and are not necessarily
related to
the Company’s asset value, book value, financial condition, or any other
recognized indicators of value.
Management
will have discretion in use of funds.
The
Corporation anticipates applying the net proceeds of the Offering to
the items
described above under the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Memorandum. However,
there can be no assurance that these proceeds will be used exactly as
described
therein. In particular, in the event that competitive or other forces
within the
Company’s industry, or if the Company’s estimates of the cost of the proposed
uses of these proceeds ultimately turn out to be inaccurate, the Corporation
and
the Company intend to adapt to such circumstances and may feel it necessary
to
reallocate the uses of the proceeds of the Offering among the uses described
in
the “Use of Proceeds” section or to other uses deemed appropriate by the
Corporation or the Company. As such, management of the Company shall
have broad
discretion, subject to their fiduciary duties, in the application of
the
proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock.
23
You
should make an independent evaluation of the shares and the
Company.
While
the
Corporation believes this Memorandum, together with the Stock Purchase
Agreement
and other exhibits to this Memorandum, contains sufficient information
to assist
prospective investors in making an informed investment decision, prospective
investors are encouraged to ask questions of the Company and request
additional
information concerning the shares of Common Stock, Private Placement
and the
business of the Company. The Company will provide prospective investors
with
answers to their questions and any such additional information to the
extent
that it is available or can be obtained without unreasonable effort or
expense.
No federal or state commission, department or agency has made any evaluation,
finding, recommendation or endorsement with respect to the shares of
Common
Stock.
Subscriber
funds may be tied up for up to 135 days.
Under
the
terms of the Offering, a subscriber’s funds may be tied up for the Offering
Period of 90 days, which may be extended for up to 45 days, and then
returned
without interest in the event there is no closing under the Offering
or if the
subscriber’s subscription is not accepted by the Corporation.

PLACEMENT
AGENT
Strasbourger
Xxxxxxx Tulcin Xxxxx Inc. is acting as Placement Agent in the sale of
the shares

for
any liability or cost incurred by the Placement Agent arising from any
suit,
action, proceeding or investigation in connection with the Placement
Agent’s
acting on its behalf in the Offering.
The
price
of the shares of Common Stock has been determined by negotiations between
the
Corporation and the Placement Agent. Among the factors considered in
such
negotiations are prevailing market conditions, estimates of the Company’s
business potential, the present state of its development and other factors
deemed relevant. The terms of the shares of Common Stock do not necessarily
bear
any relationship to the Corporation’s or the Company’s asset value or net book
value.

The
above

prospective investor meets the following criteria:
a) He
or she
has no need for liquidity in this investment and is able to bear the
economic
risks of this investment;

26
c) He

a view to
resale.
The
Corporation has the right to reject a subscription in whole or in part
if in its
sole discretion it believes that the prospective investor does not meet
the
suitability requirements, or the shares of Common Stock are otherwise
an
unsuitable investment for the prospective investor.
Foreign
investors in the shares of Common Stock will be required to represent

1.2 Piggyback
Registration.
(a) The
Company and the Holder agree that the Registrable Securities will be included
in
the Company’s Form SB-2 Registration Statement anticipated to be prepared by
counsel to the Company, which filing the Company agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts to make not later than 120 days from the date hereof and to cause
to be declared effective not later than 165 days from the date hereof. The
Company and the Holder have further agreed that such inclusion will satisfy
the
registration rights given to Holder pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
however, that such inclusion satisfies such obligation only if the registration
statement is declared effective not later than 165 days from the date hereof;
provided
however,
if the
Company has not filed a Form SB-2 Registration Statement that includes the
Registrable Securities within 120 days from the date hereof, for each thirty
(30) days that such Form SB-2 is not filed the Company shall pay the Holders
liquidated damages equal to one percent (1%) of the total issued share capital
of the Company in Common Stock. With respect to the aforementioned liquidated
damage award, each Holder shall receive shares of Common Stock, pro rata, based
on the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders a certificate signed
by
the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement
to be filed owing to a material pending transaction or other issue and it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall not be required to pay such liquidated damages.
2
1.3 Demand
Registration
(a) In
the
event that the SB-2 Registration Statement is not filed by the Company within
125 days from the date hereof pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, a Holder or
Holders shall be entitled to initiate registration request hereunder
(“Initiating
Holders) The
Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company in writing that the Company
file
a registration statement under the Act registering the Registrable Securities.
The Company shall file a Form SB-2 Registration Statement no later than 45
days
from the date of such registration request and be declared effective not later
than 90 days from the date thereof. The Company and the Holder shall further
agree that such filing will satisfy the piggyback registration rights given
to
Holder pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such inclusion
satisfies such obligation only if the registration statement is declared
effective not later than 90 days from the date of the request from the
Initiating Holders.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration
statement pursuant to this Section 1.3, a certificate signed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of
the
Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed owing
to a material pending transaction and
it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the
Initiating Holders.
(c) In
addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action
to
effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3
in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service
in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act.
1.4 Obligations
of the Company.
Whenever
required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) Prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement
effective until the Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been
sold
by the Holders (or such shorter period as the Holders may consent to in
writing).
(b) Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement
as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to
the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement.
(c) Furnish
to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of Registrable Securities owned by them.
3
(d) Use
its
best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions
as
shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided
that
the
Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process
in
any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to
service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Act.
(e) In
the
event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with
the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such
underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an
agreement.
(f) Notify
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus
included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to
be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Use
its
best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder
to be
listed on the securities exchange or Nasdaq trading system on which similar
securities of the Company are then listed or trade.
(h) Furnish,
at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities are
delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration
pursuant to this Section 1, if such securities are being sold through
underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters,
on
the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes
effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the
Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of
Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is
customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters
in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and
to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
1.5 Furnish
Information.
It shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action
pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any
selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method
of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
1.6 Expenses
of Registration.
(a) Demand
Registration. All
expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section
1.3, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification
fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to pay for any
4
expenses
of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.3 if the registration
request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority
of
the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating
holders shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration
pursuant to Section 1.3; provided further, however, that if at the time of
such
withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the
condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders
at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable
promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change,
then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall
retain their rights pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3.
(b) Piggyback
Registration.
All
expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in
connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable
Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 1.2 for each
Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 1.11, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers
and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by them, but
excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable
Securities shall be borne by the Company.
1.7 Underwriting
Requirements.
In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the
Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 1.2 to
include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount
of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then
the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling stockholders) but in no event shall (i) the amount
of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below
fifty percent of the total amount of securities included in such offering,
or
(ii) notwithstanding (i) above, any shares being sold by a stockholder
exercising a demand registration right similar to that granted in Section 1.2
be
excluded from such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical
concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder which is a holder of
Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners,
retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family
members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit
of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling
stockholder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling
stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
“selling stockholder”, as defined in this sentence.
5
1.8 Delay
of Registration.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy
that
might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Section
1.
1.9 Indemnification.
In the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under
this Section 1:
(a) To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person,
if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act
or
the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
(i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii)
the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934
Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Act; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling
person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided,
however,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(a) shall not apply
to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any
such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon
and
in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling
person.
(b) To
the
extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the
registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the
meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in
such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or
other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the
Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such
registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection 1.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
however,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(b) shall not apply
to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
that,
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.9(b) exceed the
6
net
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of
willful fraud by such Holder.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party under this Section 1.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice
of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right
to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided,
however,
that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain
one
separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained
by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement
of
any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 1.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to
any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.9.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided
that in
no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this subsection 1.9(d) exceed
the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder or the amount such
person would have been obligated to pay if indemnification had been available.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control for
the
parties to that agreement.
(f) The
obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive
the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement
under this Section 1, and otherwise.

1.10 Reports
Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any
time
permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:
(a) make
and
keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in
SEC Rule 144, at all times so long as the Company remains subject to the
periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934
Act;
(b) file
with
the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish
to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with
the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Act and the 1934 Act, (ii)
a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such
other
reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information
as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation
of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration
or pursuant to such form.
1.11 Assignment
of Registration Rights.
The
rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to
this
Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder
to
a transferee or assignee of such securities that is an affiliate (as such term
is
defined in Rule 405 of the Act) of the Holder, provided:
(a) the
Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such
transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the
terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions
of
Section 1.13 below;
and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such
transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Act. For the purposes of determining the number
of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the
holdings of transferees and assignees of a partnership who are partners or
retired partners of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors, lineal
descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable
Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together
and with the partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who would
not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a
single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving
notices or taking any action under this Section 1.
1.12 Limitations
on Subsequent Registration Rights.
From and
after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable
Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder
of
any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section
1.2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective
holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent
that the inclusion of his securities will not reduce the amount of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make a demand
registration which could result in such registration statement being declared
effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth in subsection
1.2(a) or within one
8
hundred
twenty (120) days of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant
to
Section 1.2.
1.13 Termination
of Registration Rights.
No
Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section
1
after the earlier of (i) five (5) years from the date hereof with respect to
Demand Registration Rights, or (ii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar
exemption (without recourse to Rule 144(k) unless such Holder holds less than
or
equal to 2% of the Stock) under the Securities Act is available for the sale
of
all of such Holder’s shares during a three (3)-month period without
registration,

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Appointment

collected funds.
3.2 In
the
event that prior to the Termination Date the Agent has received funds (and
such
funds are cleared within three days after the Termination Date) or other
instruments in payment for subscriptions from the sale of the Offering, the
Agent will, on the date of each Closing (the “Closing

3.3 In
the
event that a Closing does not occur prior to the end of the Offering Period
or
if no written instructions are received by the Agent from the Company and
Strasbourger relative to funds received by the Agent from one or more
subscribers to the Offering within three business days after the Termination
Date, the Agent will return the escrowed funds to each Subscriber without
deduction and without interest by check mailed to the address set forth in

and Indemnification of Agent.
4.1 The
Agent

herein. The Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person
to
make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery
to
be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other
act.
The Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone
else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker,
guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person
to
perform such person's obligations under any such document. Except for amendments
to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to
the
Agent by the Company and Strasbourger relating
2
to
the
escrow deposit under this Agreement, the Agent shall not be obligated to
recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein,
notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or
not it
has knowledge thereof.
4.2 The
Agent
shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken
or
omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good
faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Agent may rely
conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand,
certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the
Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only
as to
its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but
also
as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained),
which
is believed by the Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the
proper person or persons. The Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand,
or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement
or any
of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Agent
signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the
Agent
are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. In
the
event the Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, the Agent shall
be
fully protected in refraining from acting until such conflict is resolved
to the
satisfaction of the Agent.
4.3 The
Agent
shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of,
or the
execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received,
held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon,
or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor
shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to
anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights
of
the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any
document or property of this Agreement. The Agent shall have no responsibility
with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid
or
delivered by the Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Agent shall
not be
liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred
by
reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided
the
Agent has complied with the provisions of Section 3.1 hereunder.
4.4 The
Agent
shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary
from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which
an
action would or might be taken by the Agent does not exist or has not occurred,
without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else
for
any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or
omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance
upon such assumption. Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel
in
the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction
of
any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully
protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel.
Agent
shall not be required to take any action which, in the Agent’s sole and absolute
judgment, could involve it in expense or liability in excess of its fees
and
reimbursable expenses hereunder unless furnished with security and indemnity
which it deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be
satisfactory.
4.5 To
the
extent that the Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including
withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds
held hereunder or any
3
payment
made hereunder, the Agent may pay such taxes. The Agent may withhold from
any
payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Agent estimates
to be
sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may
use
the sum withheld for that purpose. The Agent shall be indemnified and held
harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest
in
respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided
in Section 4.6.
4.6 The
Agent
will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any
and
all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss
suffered by the Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding
involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in
any
way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement,
the
services of the Agent hereunder, the monies or other property held by it
hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided,
however, that such indemnification shall not extend to proven acts of gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Agent. The Agent shall
have a
lien for the amount of any such expenses or loss on the monies and other
property held by it hereunder and shall be entitled to reimburse itself from
such monies or property for the amount of any such expense or loss. Promptly
after the receipt by the Agent or notice of any demand or claim or the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Agent shall, if a claim
in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof
in
writing, but the failure by the Agent to give such notice shall not relieve
the
Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Agent hereunder.
Notwithstanding any obligation to make payments and deliveries hereunder,
the
Agent may retain and hold for such time as it deems necessary such amount
of
monies or property as it shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion,
deem
sufficient to indemnify itself for any such loss or expense and for any amounts
due it under Section 7. The terms of this Section 4.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
4.7 For
the
purposes hereof, the term “expense
or loss”
shall
include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability,
or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled
with
the express written consent of the Agent, and all costs and expenses, including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred
in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit
or
proceeding.
5. Termination
of Agreement and Resignation of Agent.
5.1 This
Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the final disposition of the monies and
property held in escrow hereunder, provided that the rights of the Agent
and the
obligations of the other parties hereto under Sections 4 and 7 shall survive
the
termination hereof.
5.2 The
Agent
may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Agent hereunder
by
giving the Company and Strasbourger at least 30 days' notice thereof. As
soon as
practicable after its resignation, the Agent shall turn over to a successor
escrow agent appointed by the Company all monies and property held hereunder
(less such amount as the Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to Section
7) upon
presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance
thereof. If no new Agent is so appointed within the 60-day period following
such
notice of resignation, the Agent may deposit the aforesaid monies and property
with any court it deems appropriate.
4
6. Form
of Payments by Agent.
6.1 Any
payments by the Agent to subscribers or to persons other than the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be made by check, payable to
the
order of each respective subscriber or other person, or by wire
transfer.
6.2 Except
as
otherwise specifically indicated, all amounts referred to herein are expressed
in United States Dollars and all payments by the Agent shall be made in such
dollars.
7. Compensation
of Agent.
For
services rendered, the Agent shall receive as compensation $3,500 and all
interest income on the funds received pursuant to this Agreement. The Agent
shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable
expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder,
including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors' fees and disbursements
and
all reasonable taxes or other governmental charges upon presentation of
supporting documentation, if requested by the Company. It is anticipated
that
such disbursement shall not exceed $1,000 barring any unforeseen
