risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to
afford a complete loss of such investment.

OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company
or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as
contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof
to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and
reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the
rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) The
Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1,
of a legend on any of the Securities in substantially the following
form:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO
THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial
institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement
and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer
pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval
of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured
party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further,
no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Purchaser’s
expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a
pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with
a pledge or transfer of the Securities, the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list
of selling stockholders thereunder.
12
(c) The
Purchaser agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to
either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that
if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold
in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
4.2 Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with
respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy
thereof, promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser under
applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and
shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Purchaser.
4.3 Registration
Rights.
(a) Piggyback
Rights. The Purchaser shall have piggy-back registration
rights with respect to all of the Securities (except for registrations on
Commission Form X-0, X-0 or equivalent forms). Accordingly, the Company agrees
to include all of the Securities (other than Securities that have been
previously registered for resale under this Section 4.3(a)) in any registration
statement on Form S-1 or equivalent form filed with the Commission, in order to
register the resale of such shares pursuant and subject to Rule 415 of the
Securities Act. In addition, the Company agrees to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered
by such registration statement under such other state securities or state
blue-sky laws as shall be reasonably requested by the Purchaser; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states unless the
Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be
required by the Securities Act. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that it shall make all filings, disclosures, updates and any other actions which
are necessary in order to keep any registration statement which includes any
shares issuable upon exercise hereof effective for at least 24 months following
the effective date of such registration statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may suspend the effectiveness of such registration
statement for a period not to exceed 90 days after the effective date thereof if
the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably believes that the continued
effectiveness thereof would be materially detrimental to the Company because
such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition,
corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company;
(ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a
bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render
the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, as applicable (each, a “Material Suspension
Event”), and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness
thereof shall be tolled correspondingly; provided, however, that the Company
shall not register any securities for resale for its own account or that of any
other stockholder during such 90 day period. All expenses (other than
underwriting discounts, commissions and special counsel fees of the Purchaser)
incurred in connection with registration pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) shall
be borne and paid by the Company.
13
(b) Demand
Rights.
(i) Upon
written demand by the Purchaser to the Company, the Company shall (i) prepare
and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable thereafter but in no event later
than 45 days thereafter, a registration statement on Form S-1 or other
applicable form in order to register the resale of all the Securities that the
Purchaser requests to be registered (other than Securities that have been
previously registered for resale under this Section 4.3(b)), pursuant and
subject to Rule 415 of the Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after the
filing date thereof, and (iii) make all filings, disclosures, updates and any
other actions which are necessary in order to keep such registration statement
effective for at least 24 months following the effective date of such
registration statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event that all of the Securities that are requested by the
Purchaser to be registered on a registration statement pursuant to this Section
4.3(b) are not registered on such registration statement, the Purchaser shall
have the right to demand that the Company register any such remaining
unregistered Securities on a subsequent registration statement on Form S-1 or
other applicable form on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
4.3(b).
(ii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may elect to delay the filing of such registration
statement for a period not to exceed 90 days, or may suspend the effectiveness
of such registration statement after the effective date thereof for a period not
to exceed 90 days, if, in either case, the Company’s Board of Directors
reasonably believes that the filing or continued effectiveness, as the case may
be, of such registration statement would be materially detrimental to the
Company because such action would cause a Material Suspension Event, and any
time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled
correspondingly; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and provided further that the
Company shall not register any securities for resale for its own account or that
of any other stockholder during such 90 day period. All expenses
(other than underwriting discounts, commissions and special counsel fees of the
Purchaser) incurred in connection with registration pursuant to this Section
4.3(b) shall be borne and paid by the Company. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 4(b)(i) above, the Purchaser may not exercise its demand
right pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) more than twice.
(c) Rule
144. The Company shall keep available adequate current public information, as
that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the
Securities Act, file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act (or within any extension periods permitted under applicable regulations of
the Commission), as applicable, and provide to the Purchaser such information as
may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to make available to the
Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 of the Securities Act and any other rule or
regulation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a
registration on Form S-1 or any equivalent form.
14
4.4 Use of
Proceeds.
|
Working
Capital. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the
Offering for working capital purposes only and not for the satisfaction of
any portion of the Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables in
the ordinary course of the Company's business and prior practices), to
redeem any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or to settle any
outstanding litigation without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser.
|
4.5
Indemnification of the
Purchaser. The Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its
Affiliates, and each of their directors, managers, officers, shareholders,
members, employees and agents, as the case may be (and any other Persons with a
functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a
lack of such title or any other title) (each, a “Purchaser Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of
or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents, provided that the Company’s liability under this Section for a breach
of any representations or warranties made by the Company in this Agreement shall
in no event exceed the Subscription Amount.
4.7 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in
issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press release or
otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the
Company, with respect to any press release of the Purchaser, or without the
prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the
Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if
such disclosure is required by law or regulation, in which case the disclosing
party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public
statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except (i) as
required by federal securities law or regulation in connection with (A) any
registration statement contemplated herein and (B) the filing with the
Commission on Form 8-K of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages
thereto) and a summary thereof and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is
required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall
provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this
subclause (ii).
15
4.8 Subsequent Equity
Sales. If, at any time within ninety (90) days following the Closing
Date, the Company sells and issues any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock
Equivalents at a price per share (or conversion or exercise price, as the case
may be) of less than $1.75 (a “Dilutive Issuance”),
then, not later than ten (10) business days following such Dilutive Issuance,
the Company shall be required to issue to the Purchaser, for no additional
consideration, an additional number shares of Common Stock equal to the
difference of (i) an amount equal to (A) the Subscription Amount divided by (B)
the price per share of shares issued or underlying Common Stock Equivalents in
connection with such Dilutive Issuance, less (ii) the number of shares of Common
Stock issued to the Purchaser hereunder, less (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock issued to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.8 as a result of
a prior Dilutive Issuance. Such additional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued to the Purchaser whenever a Dilutive Issuance
occurs. A Dilutive Issuance shall not include: (a) shares
of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued to employees, officers,
directors or consultants (other than any consultant which engages in any
business which is competitive with or provides any services which are similar to
the business of or services provided by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates
as determined at the time of the Dilutive Issuance) of the Company, (b)
securities issued upon the exercise, exchange, conversion or amendment of any
securities issued and outstanding on the date hereof, or (c) securities issued
pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions.

instrument signed by the Company and the Purchaser. No waiver of any

5.5 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.
5.6 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the

assigns. Neither the Company nor the Purchaser may assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

5.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,

thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the
interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is
improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. 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

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 transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.11 Severability. If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.12 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser 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 obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action
for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
5.13 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.
5.14 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be
issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the
case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate
or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate
or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such
replacement Securities.
