is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. 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.
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance
of the 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 the Company's or any Subsidiary's

reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance
with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to
render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison
pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar

its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties, prospects,
operations or condition (financial or otherwise), 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.

solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause
this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the

approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and
regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the
securities of the Company are listed or designated.

corporate or similar action on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction

any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained

Securities for any period of time.

offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is (i) an "accredited
investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and (ii) not a

exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state
securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of,

agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein
in order to determine the availability of such exemptions in connection with the
issuance of the Securities.
(f) Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any,
have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the
Securities, that have been requested by the Purchaser or its advisors, if any.

ask questions of the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that
its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk.

no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental

claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in
this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser does not make
or has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this
Section 3.2. The Company also acknowledges and agrees that each of the
Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company or any other Purchaser (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any
advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or
agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser's purchase of the Securities.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions. The Securities may only be disposed of
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In
connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(k), to the Company, to an
Affiliate of a 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, 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.
(a) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is
required by this Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Securities in the
following form:
THESE SECURITIES 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. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE
SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE
MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED
BY THESE SECURITIES.
13
The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from
time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the
Securities in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or
financing agreement secured by the Securities and, if required under the terms
of such arrangement, such 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 or transfer. At the
appropriate 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,
including 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.
(b) Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares
shall not be required to contain any legend (including the legend set forth in
Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale of such Securities pursuant to an
effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii)
following a sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming
the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) while such Shares
or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of
the Commission), or (v) while a Registration Statement covering the resale of
such Securities is effective under the Securities Act. Following such time as
restrictive legends are not required to be placed on certificates representing
Shares or Warrant Shares, the Company will, no later than three Trading Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company's transfer
agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares containing a
restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a
certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares that is free from all
restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its
records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.
4.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns
Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act. Upon the request of any such holder of Securities, the Company
shall deliver to such holder a written certification of a duly authorized
officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as
any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate thereof 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 Securities in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the
Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities
for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
4.4 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Exercise
Notice included in the Warrants and the payment of the Exercise Price sets forth
the totality of the procedures required in order
14
to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion or other information or
instructions shall be necessary to enable the Purchasers to exercise their
Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver
Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set
forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.5 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall on
the date hereof, or if not feasible, by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the first
Trading Day following the date hereof, issue a press release reasonably
acceptable to Mainfield Enterprises, Inc., disclosing all material terms of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, to the extent permitted
by applicable law. On the date hereof, or if not feasible, on the first Trading
Day following the date hereof , the Company shall file a Current Report on Form
8-K incorporating the press release described in the foregoing sentence, and
within one (1) Trading Day thereafter, the Company shall file a Current Report
on Form 8-K describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents in the form required by the Exchange Act, and attaching
the material Transaction Documents as exhibits to such Form 8-K (including all
attachments, the "8-K FILINGS"). The Company and each Purchaser shall consult
with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any 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
any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to
any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, 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 any Purchaser, or include the
name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency
or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except
(i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the Form 8-K to be
filed following the Date hereof and the registration statement contemplated by
the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is
required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall
provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under
subclause (i) or (ii).
4.6 Non-Public Information. The Company shall not, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Purchaser with any material
nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and
after the filing of the 8-K Filings without the express written consent of such
Purchaser. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases
or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior
approval of any Purchaser, to make any press release or other public disclosure
with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K
Filing and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law
and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Purchaser shall be
consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other
public disclosure prior to its release).
4.7 Use of Proceeds. It is the current intent of the Company that
it shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for
working capital purposes 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 Company equity or
equity-equivalent securities or to settle any outstanding litigation.
4.8 Indemnification of Purchasers. The Company will indemnify and
hold the Purchasers and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners,
employees and agents (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
15
and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as
a result of or relating to: (a) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy, or
any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute a breach or
inaccuracy, of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; or
(b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Purchaser
Party and arising solely out of or solely resulting from the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents and without causation by any other activity, obligation,
condition or liability pertaining to such Purchaser. The Company will reimburse
such Purchaser for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost
of any investigation, preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred
in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The indemnification
obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any
liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal
representatives of the Purchasers and any such Purchaser Party. The Company also
agrees that neither the Purchasers nor any Purchaser Party shall have any
liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right
of the Company in connection with or as a result of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that any Losses
incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the applicable Purchaser or Related Person in breach of this Agreement in
connection with such transactions. If the Company breaches its obligations under
any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company
may have under any Transaction Document or applicable law, the Company shall pay
or reimburse the Purchasers on demand for all costs of collection and
enforcement (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse
the Purchasers on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification
obligations in this paragraph.
4.9 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the
Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep
available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant
to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Warrants.
4.10 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock
on the Trading Market, and, unless completed prior to the Closing, to list the
applicable Shares and Warrant Shares on the Trading Market as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Closing (but not later than the earlier of the
Effective Date and the first anniversary of the Closing Date). The Company
further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any
other Trading Market, it will include in such application the Shares and Warrant
Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the
opinion of the Purchasers to cause the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed on
such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all
action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company's
reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading
Market.
4.11 Subsequent Placements.
(a) From the date hereof until the 12-month anniversary
of the Effective Date (the "RIGHTS PERIOD"), the Company will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of
(or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other
disposition of) any of its or the Subsidiaries' equity or equity equivalent
securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other
instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any
circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock
or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or
announcement being referred to as a "SUBSEQUENT PLACEMENT"). unless the Company
shall have first complied with this Section 4.11(a).
16
(i) The Company shall deliver to each Purchaser
a written notice (the "OFFER") of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or
exchange of the securities being offered (the "OFFERED SECURITIES") in a
Subsequent Placement, which Offer shall (w) identify and describe the Offered
Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be
issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to
be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the lead investor or entity to which
or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or
exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with each Purchaser a
pro-rata portion of ONE-HALF OF the Offered Securities, based on such
Purchaser's pro rata portion of the aggregate purchase price paid by the
Purchasers for all of the Shares purchased hereunder (the "BASIC AMOUNT"), and
with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any
additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts
of other Purchasers as such Purchaser shall indicate it will purchase or acquire
should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the
"UNDERSUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT").
(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, a
Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the
five (5) Trading Day period of the Offer, setting forth the portion of the
Purchaser's Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such
Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription
Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the
"NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE"). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers
are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Purchaser who has
set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be
entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the
Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the
Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total
of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "AVAILABLE
UNDERSUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT"), each Purchaser who has subscribed for any
Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase on that portion of the
Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears
to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for
Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to the
extent its deems reasonably necessary.
(iii) The Company shall have ten (10) Trading Days
from the expiration of the period set forth in Section 4.11(a)(ii) above to
issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a
Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Purchasers (the "REFUSED
SECURITIES"), but only pursuant to the Offer (if so described therein) and only
upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and
interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons
or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer. In the event
there is a change in the terms of the Offer during the period set forth in
Section 4.11(a)(ii) above or during the 10 Trading Day period described in this
subsection, provided that the Offer remains for the same type of securities as
in the original Offer, then the Company shall notify each Purchaser who has
previously accepted the Offer of such material changes, and such Purchaser shall
have two (2) Trading Days to
17
accept or reject such modified Offer. Any other change in terms of the Offer
shall require a new Offer under the procedure specified in this Agreement.
(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to
sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and
on the terms specified in Section 4.11(a)(iii) above), then each Purchaser may,
at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of
the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that
shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that the
Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(ii) above multiplied
by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of
Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange
(including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to
Section 4.11(a)(ii) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that
any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities
specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or
exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless
and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in
accordance with Section 4.11(a)(i) above.
(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or
exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Purchasers shall
acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, the
number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance,
as reduced pursuant to Section 4.11(a)(iv) above if the Purchasers have so
elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by
the Purchasers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the
preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Purchasers of a
purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Purchasers and their respective counsel, and if the
Purchasers decline to execute such documents with respect to the Offered
Securities, such Purchasers will be deemed to have rejected the Offer.
(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the
Purchasers or other Persons in accordance with Section 4.11(a)(iii) above may
not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Purchasers
under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
18
(b) The restrictions contained in paragraph (a) of this
Section shall not apply to Excluded Stock. The Rights Period set forth in the
preceding paragraph (a) shall be extended for the number of Trading Days during
such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is suspended by any Trading
Market, (ii) the Registration Statement is not effective, or (iii) the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement may not be used by the
Purchasers for the resale of Registrable Securities thereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
4.11, to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Company has required each
Person to whom an offer to purchase Offered Securities was made (whether
pursuant to this Section 4.11 or otherwise) to be expressly bound by a
confidentiality agreement with respect to any material nonpublic information
disclosed to such Persons in connection with their evaluation of a potential
purchase of Offered Securities, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver
the Offer to any Purchaser unless such Purchaser to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement identical in form and substance to any confidentiality
agreement legally binding upon each such other Person, after being requested to
do so by the Company.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be
waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an
amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority of the Shares.
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. Any waiver effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding
upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time
outstanding (including securities into which such securities are convertible or
exercisable), each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
5.6 Construction. 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. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority
of the Shares; provided, however, that no consent shall be required in
connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the
Company's assets. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this
Agreement to any Person in connection with the transfer of the Securities,
provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the
transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the "Purchasers".
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Securities may be assigned to
any Person in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or
financing arrangement secured by such Securities.
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 4.7.
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. 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 New York, borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and
federal courts sitting in the city of New York, borough of Manhattan 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. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto (including its affiliates,
agents, officers, directors and employees) hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury
in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any
20
provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action
or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorneys fees and
other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and
covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and delivery and/or
exercise of the Securities, as applicable.
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 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 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 any Purchaser exercises a right, election,
demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely
perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such
Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon
written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole
or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
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, 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 and customary and reasonable
indemnity or security, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or
instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the
Purchasers 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 described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in
any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a
payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a
Purchaser 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 Company, 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, to the
extent permissible under
21
applicable law, 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.
5.17 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any
stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common
Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder
thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination
or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each
reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share
shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
5.18 Independent Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to
purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser
independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information,
materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of the Subsidiary which may have been
made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other
Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any
liability to any other Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising
from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained
herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Document. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has
acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment
hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser
in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Purchaser shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction
Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or
requested to do so by the Purchasers.
