(a) In the event that the Company furnishes to Seaside a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company stating that a material development or potential material development involving the Company has occurred which the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Prospectus Supplement, which disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company, be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time, then such Subsequent Closing will not occur; provided, however, that the Company will not be permitted to cancel a Subsequent Closing pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) more than four times during the term of this Agreement.

this Agreement will be increased by 250,000 Shares to 500,000 Shares for such Subsequent Closing.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the 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, could not reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”) and, to the knowledge of the Company, no

Action has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

(c) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and its stockholders, and no further action is required by the Company or its stockholders in connection therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(f) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company or as a result of any action or inaction on the part of the Company. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. The issuance by the Company to Seaside, and the resale by Seaside, of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and all of the Shares when delivered will be freely transferable and tradable on the Trading Market by Seaside without restriction (other than any restrictions arising solely from the status, acts or omissions of Seaside). The Registration Statement is effective and available for the issuance to Seaside and the resale by Seaside of the Shares thereunder and the Company has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a stop-order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened in writing to do so.

Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or Schedule 3.1(g), the issue and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than Seaside) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in material compliance with all federal and state securities laws and requirements of the Trading Market, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities.

The Company has not received any written notice of Action relating to the limitation, revocation, cancellation, suspension, modification or non-renewal of any such Permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and has no reason to believe that any such Permit will not be renewed in the ordinary course.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of Seaside. Seaside hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth below to the Company as of the date hereof and each Closing Date (provided that representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date shall continue to speak as of such specified date):

(a) Organization; Authority. Seaside is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Florida, with full right, power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Seaside of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each other Transaction Document have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Seaside and no such further action is required. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by Seaside, and, when delivered by Seaside in accordance with the terms thereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Seaside, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Experience of Seaside. Seaside, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Seaside is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(c) Short Sales. Seaside has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with Seaside, engaged in any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the securities of the Company through the date hereof.

(d) Limited Ownership. The purchase by Seaside of the Shares issuable to it at the Closings will not result in Seaside (individually or together with any other Person with whom Seaside has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the Commission involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that all Closings contemplated by this Agreement shall have occurred.

ARTICLE IV

4.4 Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person that Seaside is an “Acquiring Person” or similar designation under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Seaside could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and Seaside.

If any action shall be brought against any Seaside Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Seaside Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing.

The Company hereby further agrees that if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any Trading Market other than its current Trading Market, it will include in such application all of the Shares and will take such other action as is reasonably necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.

4.9 Stockholder Approval. The Company shall not issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, if such issuance would require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable rules of the Trading Market, unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

Seaside may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

5.8 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.6.

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties herein shall survive the Closings and delivery of the Shares.

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile or email transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email signature page were an original thereof.

5.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever one party exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the other party does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the exercising party may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the other party, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, Seaside and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of the obligations set forth herein and hereby agree to waive in any such action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

5.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that either party hereto makes a payment or payments to the other party hereto pursuant to any Transaction Document or enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the other party, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.16 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting

party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
