The Corporation has timely filed all such documents required to be filed by it with the SEC under the Securities Laws and, as of their respective dates, the Corporation Reports (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Laws and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.19 and to the best of the Corporation's knowledge, none of the Corporation Reports currently is the subject of any review or investigation by the SEC or any other government authority and there is no currently unresolved violation asserted by the SEC or any government authority with respect to any of the Corporation Reports.

("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and and Nasdaq's standards for continued listing and has complied or will timely comply with such agreement and such Rules and standards in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No proceeding is pending or, to the best of the Corporation's knowledge, threatened relating to any unresolved violation of any of such items or delisting of the Corporation's Common Stock and the Corporation has no reason to believe that its Common Stock will not continue to be so listed.
5.21 Full Disclosure. The Corporation has provided Investors with all information requested by Investors in connection with their decision to purchase the Preferred Shares and Warrants,. Neither this Agreement, the Schedules hereto, the related agreements nor any other document delivered by the
10
Corporation to Investors or their attorneys or agents in connection herewith or therewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, contain any untrue statement of a material fact. As used in this Section 5, the term "to the best of the Corporation's knowledge and belief" shall mean and include, (a) with respect to matters relating directly to the Corporation and its operations, actual knowledge of the Corporation's executive officers or that knowledge which a prudent business person reasonably would have discovered in the management of his or her business affairs after making reasonable inquiry and exercising due diligence with respect thereto, and (b) with respect to all other events or conditions, actual knowledge of the Corporation's executive officers.
SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Investors to the Corporation.
Each of the Investors, as to itself, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:
(a) It is acquiring the Preferred Shares and Warrants and, in the event it should acquire Reserved Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, it will be acquiring such Reserved Shares, for its own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(b) It is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
(c) It agrees that the Corporation may place a legend on the certificates delivered hereunder stating that the Preferred Shares and any Reserved Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, therefore, cannot be offered, sold or transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all requisite action of it.
(e) It further understands that the exemptions from registration afforded by Rule 144 and Rule 144A (the provisions of which are known to it) promulgated under the Securities Act depend on the satisfaction of various conditions, and that, if applicable, Rule 144 may afford the basis for sales only in limited amounts.
(f) It has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters and with respect to investments in securities of "small cap" companies so as to enable it to understand and evaluate the risks of its investment in the Preferred Shares and Warrants and form an investment decision with respect thereto. It has been afforded the opportunity during the course of negotiating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to ask questions of, and to secure such information from, the Corporation and its officers and directors as it deems necessary to evaluate the merits of entering into such transactions. With respect to any projections submitted to the Investors by the Corporation, the Investors acknowledge that the projections contain forward looking statements involving risk and uncertainties and are only the best estimates of the Corporation's management of the expected performance of the business, but projections are speculative in nature and the assumptions on which they are based can and will change.
(g) If it is a natural person, it has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement. If it is not a natural person, it is duly organized and validly existing and has the power and authority to enter into this Agreement. Any Investor which is a corporation, partnership or trust represents that it has not been organized, reorganized or recapitalized specifically for the purpose of acquiring the securities of the Corporation.
(h) It has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current needs and personal contingencies to sustain a complete loss of its investment in the Corporation.
