3
“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE

may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to
the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately

form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may
be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted
by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (c) such holder
provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Security can be sold

prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on
the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be

of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board
of Directors, or its shareholders is required, (iii) this Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Company by its authorized representative, and

preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and

Company understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the
Common Stock upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company
and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for
issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a
violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or
(ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent,
patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the
Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational
documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and
no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action
that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible
defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not
being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as a Buyer owns any of the
Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as
required under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, the
Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or
make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory
agency, self regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order
for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Note in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to issue
and sell the Note in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the
Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. All consents,
authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required
to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on
or prior to the date hereof. The Company is not in violation of the
listing requirements of the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) and
does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the
OTCBB in the foreseeable future. The Company and its Subsidiaries are
unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the
foregoing.
6
g. SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely
filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to
be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the
foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and
financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to
such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to
herein as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered to the
Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such exhibits
and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable
to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC
Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable
law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent
filings prior the date hereof). As of their respective dates, the
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to
form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the
periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and
cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set
forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents,
the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i)
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to
March 31, 2010, and (ii) obligations under contracts
and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required
under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial
statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the
financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject
to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.
7
h. Absence of
Certain Changes. Since March 31, 2010, there has been no material adverse
change and no material adverse development in the assets, liabilities, business,
properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or
1934 Act reporting status of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.
i.
Absence of
Litigation. There is no action, suit,
claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public
board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to
the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or
affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their officers or directors
in their capacity as such, that could have a Material Adverse
Effect. Schedule 3(i) contains a complete list and summary
description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without
regard to whether it would have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which
might give rise to any of the foregoing.
j. Patents,
Copyrights, etc. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all
patents, patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade
secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service names, trade
names and copyrights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to enable it to conduct
its business as now operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated in
the future); there is no claim or action by any person pertaining to, or
proceeding pending, or to the Company’s knowledge threatened, which challenges
the right of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual
Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated (and, as
presently contemplated to be operated in the future); to the best of the
Company’s knowledge, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current and intended
products, services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or
other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any facts or
circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to
protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual
Property.
k. No
Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or other legal
restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the
judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected in the future to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of
the Company’s officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
8
l. Tax
Status. The
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and
foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by
any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has
paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material
in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on
its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be
due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company
know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a
waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or
collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the
Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing
authority.
m. Certain
Transactions. Except for arm’s length
transactions pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes
payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties and other
than the grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the
officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any
transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services
as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or
other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing
for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring
payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge
of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any
officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an
officer, director, trustee or partner.
n. Disclosure. All information relating to
or concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement
and provided to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof and otherwise in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all
material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No
event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects, operations
or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation,
requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been
so publicly announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company’s
reports filed under the 1934 Act are being incorporated into an effective
registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933
Act).

Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor
any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has
directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any
offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration
under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the
Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer will not be
integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or
future) for purposes of any shareholder approval provisions applicable to the
Company or its securities.
q. No
Brokers. The
Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for
brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants,
authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents,

properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted
(collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there is no action pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any
of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the
Company Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which,

Material Adverse Effect. Since March 31, 2010, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts,
defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to
possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or

with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the
Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below),
releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities,

may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the
foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened
in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental
Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or
protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation,
ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata),
including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases
or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or
hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the
environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials,
as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters,
injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits,
plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved
thereunder.
10
(ii) Other than those that are or were
stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous
Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or
used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were
released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal
course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
business.
(iii) There are no underground storage tanks
on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that are not in compliance with applicable law.
t. Title to
Property. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all
real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by
them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in
each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as
are described in Schedule 3(t) or such as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the
Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
u. Insurance. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company
believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and
its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such
Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain
similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its
business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Company has provided to Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating
to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage,
and commercial general liability coverage.
11
v. Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in
the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii)
access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is
compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action
is taken with respect to any differences.
w. Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor
any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of
his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence
payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee.
x. Solvency. The Company (after giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent
(i.e., its assets have a fair market value in
excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing
debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no
information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would
not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have
the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its
ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as
such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion
from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not
anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified
opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.
y. No
Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon
the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will
not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment Company”). The Company is not
controlled by an Investment Company.
z. Breach of
Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the Company breaches any
of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in
addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company, until
such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay the Standard
Liquidated Damages Amounts in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be
issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
12
4. COVENANTS.
a. Best
Efforts. The
parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions
described in Section 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
b. Form D; Blue
Sky Laws. The
Company agrees to file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such
filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the
Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this
Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the
United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall
provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the
Closing Date.
c. Use of
Proceeds. The
Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Note in the manner set forth
in Schedule 4(d) attached hereto and made a part hereof and shall not, directly
or indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or investment in any other
corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection with
its currently existing direct or indirect Subsidiaries).
d. Right of
First Refusal. Unless it shall have first
delivered to the Buyer, at least seventy two (72) hours prior to the closing of
such Future Offering (as defined herein), written notice describing the proposed
Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof and proposed
definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith, and
providing the Buyer an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following
delivery of such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future
Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the
limitations referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are
collectively referred to as the “Right of First Refusal”) (and subject to the
exceptions described below), the Company will not conduct any equity financing
(including debt with an equity component) (“Future Offerings”) during the period
beginning on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months following the
Closing Date. In the event the terms and conditions of a proposed
Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice to the
Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a new
notice to the Buyer describing the amended terms and conditions of the proposed
Future Offering and the Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the seventy
two (72) hour period following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro
rata share of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by
such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence
shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed
Future Offering. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any
transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment
underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering pursuant to Rule
415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of securities as consideration for a
merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in connection with any strategic
partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise
equity capital), or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a
business, product or license by the Company. The Right of First
Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or
conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities
outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or
warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock
option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the
Company.
13
e. Expenses. At the Closing, the Company
shall reimburse Buyer for expenses incurred by them in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith (“Documents”), including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees,
fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or
modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the
Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and
costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the
Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly,
otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to the Buyer
for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the
submission of an invoice by the Buyer Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company’s obligation to reimburse Buyer’ expenses shall be
$3,000.
f. Financial
Information. The
Company agrees to send or make available the following reports to the Buyer
until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells all of the Securities:
(i) within ten (10)
days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K its
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K;
(ii) within one (1)
day after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making
available or giving to the shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or
other information the Company makes available or gives to such
shareholders.
g. Authorization
and Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all
times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or exercise
of the outstanding Note and issuance of the Conversion Shares in connection
therewith (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to
time) and as otherwise required by the Note. The Company shall not
reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
conversion of Note without the consent of the Buyer. The Company
shall at all times maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for
issuance at an amount (“Reserved Amount”) equal to five times the number that is then actually
issuable upon full conversion of the Note and Additional Note (based on the
Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time). If at any
time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance
(“Authorized and Reserved
Shares”) is below the
Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary
to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without
limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to authorize additional
shares to meet the Company’s obligations under this Section 4(g), in the case of
an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain shareholder approval of an
increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares
of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company
to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the
Reserved Amount. If the Company fails to obtain such shareholder
approval within thirty (30) days following the date on which the number of
Reserved Amount exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares, the Company shall
pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of
Common Stock at the option of the Buyer. If the Buyer elects to be
paid the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of
payment. In order to ensure that the Company has authorized a
sufficient amount of shares to meet the Reserved Amount at all times, the
Company must deliver to the Buyer at the end of every month a list detailing (1)
the current amount of shares authorized by the Company and reserved for the
Buyer; and (2) amount of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and as
payment of interest accrued on the Note for one year. If the Company
fails to provide such list within five (5) business days of the end of each
month, the Company shall pay the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or
in shares of Common Stock at the option of the Buyer, until the list is
delivered. If the Buyer elects to be paid the Standard Liquidated
Damages Amount in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the
Conversion Price at the time of payment.
14
h. Listing. The Company shall promptly
secure the listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities
exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of Common
Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as
any Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other
shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares
from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Company
will obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the
listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent
replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the
American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with the
Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as
applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of
any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any other exchanges or quotation
systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued
eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation
systems.
i. Corporate
Existence. So
long as a Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its
corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor
entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and
under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and
(ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading
on the OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
j. No
Integration. The
Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the
Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the
Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the
offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of
securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision
applicable to the Company or its securities.
k. Breach of
Covenants. If the Company breaches any
of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other
remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall
pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of
Common Stock at the option of Buyer, until such breach is cured. If
the Buyer elects to pay the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such
shares shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of
payment.
15
l. Failure to
Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer
beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to
the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.
m. Trading
Activities. Neither the Buyer nor their affiliates has an open short
position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that they shall not, and that
they will cause their affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging
transactions with respect to the common stock of the
Company.
5. Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable
instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as
specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the
Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions”). In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its
transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such
replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form
as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not
limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the
Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the
Borrower. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or
the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without
any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can
then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants
that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to
Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration
of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion
Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number
of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will
be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall
otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct
its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer
agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any
certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this
Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent
not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from
removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions
in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the
Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required
by the Note and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in
any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof
to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon
re-sale of the Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of
the Company, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope
customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public
sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the
1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides
reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144, the
Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares,
promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free
from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by
the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and
purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company
acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this
Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be
entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.
