(e) Issuance of the Debentures
and Warrants. The Debentures and Warrants are duly authorized
and, upon the execution of this Agreement by a Purchaser, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens
imposed by the Company other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the

under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock
to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee stock purchase plans and
pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents

right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a
result of the purchase and sale of the Securities, there are no outstanding
options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations

right to subscribe for or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Securities
will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a
right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price under any of such securities. All of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all federal and state
securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of
any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder,
the Board of Directors or others is required for the issuance and sale of the
Securities. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements
or other similar agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which
the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any
of the Company’s stockholders.

or exists, or is reasonably expected to occur or exist, with respect to the

(i) Private Placement.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set
forth in Section 5, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the
offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as
contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder does not
contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.
(j) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and
warranties set forth in Section 5, 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 of any security or 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 Company for purposes of
(i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any such
securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval
provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company
are listed or designated.
(k) Solvency. Based
on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date,
after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets
exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the
Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent
liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute
unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the
particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and
projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the
current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would
receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all
anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in
respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be
paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of
cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no
knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will
file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization
laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule 4(k) sets
forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has
commitments. Schedule 4(k) sets
forth as of the date hereof the Permitted Indebtedness. For the
purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means
(x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000
(other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business),
(y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of
indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in
the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by
endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of
any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be
capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
6
(l) Compliance. Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and
no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit
agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by
which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or
violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or
order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or (iii) is or has been in
violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local
laws applicable to its business and all such laws that affect the environment,
except in each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(m) No General
Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any person acting on
behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of
general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered
the Securities for sale only to the Purchasers and certain other “accredited
investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(n) Seniority. No
Indebtedness or other claim against the Company is senior to the Debentures in
right of payment, whether with respect to interest or upon liquidation or
dissolution, or otherwise, other than indebtedness secured by purchase money
security interests (which is senior only as to underlying assets covered
thereby) and capital lease obligations (which is senior only as to the property
covered thereby).

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. Each party 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 or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof
via registered or certified mail or 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 other manner
permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or
proceeding to enforce any provisions of the transaction documents, then the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other
party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred
with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or
proceeding.
17. 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.

18. Headings. The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of
the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
19. Construction. The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and
had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and 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. In
addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in
any transaction document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward
stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions
of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
20. Secured
Obligation. The parties acknowledge and agree that the
obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Debentures, are subject
to the security interest granted by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to
that certain Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee, dated December __,
2009, by and among the Company, its Subsidiaries and the secured parties thereto
and that such obligations are “Obligations” under such Security Agreement and
are guaranteed by the Subsidiaries pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee entered
into in connection therewith. The Company and the Subsidiaries shall
take any and all actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to grant
the Purchasers a first priority security interest in the assets of the Company
and the Subsidiaries, including all UCC-1 filing receipts if
required.
21. 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 or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any other 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 Documents. 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. Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and
negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of
administrative convenience only, Purchasers and their respective counsel have
chosen to communicate with the Company through Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx XX (“WS”). WS
does not represent all of the Purchasers but only Street. 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.
