Each of Investor and Manager has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and any and all instruments necessary or appropriate in order to fully effectuate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to perform Investor’s and Manager’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock under this Agreement.

This Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each of Investor and Manager and has been duly executed and delivered by each of Investor and Manager and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of each of Investor and Manager, enforceable against each of Investor and Manager in accordance with its terms and conditions, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principals of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Investor and Manager and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any order, arbitration award, judgment, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Investor or Manager or (ii) violate any other legal obligation or restriction to which Investor or Manager is subject.

Redemption Agreement

There is no proceeding pending against Investor or Manager or, to Investor’s or Manager’s knowledge, threatened against Investor or Manager relating to the Series A Preferred Stock or that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Investor to consummate the Redemption.

Upon the sale, assignment, surrender and transfer to Corporation of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Corporation will acquire all of Investor’s right, title and interest in and to the Series A Preferred Stock and other instruments evidencing the same, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, charges or claims of any kind.

Force Majeure. If, for reasons beyond the control of the Parties, the Redemption Payment has been initiated by the Corporation on the Effective Date, with evidence of the same provided by the Corporation to the Investor, but the receipt of the same is delayed and is not confirmed on the Effective Date, this Agreement shall remain effective for a period of up to five (5) business days thereafter to accommodate delays in the international monetary wire transfer systems or in response to other events beyond the reasonable control of the parties.
