(d)           which are the subject of, or the reference securities for or that underlie any derivative transaction entered into by such Person, or derivative security (including options) acquired by such Person, which gives such Person the economic equivalent of ownership of an amount of such securities due to the fact that the value of the derivative is directly or indirectly determined by reference to the price or value of such securities, without regard to whether (i) such derivative conveys any voting rights in such securities to such Person, (ii) the derivative is required to be, or capable of being, settled through delivery of such securities or (iii) such Person may have entered into other transactions that hedge the economic effect of such derivative.

 

In determining the number of shares deemed Beneficially Owned by virtue of the operation of clause (d) above, the subject Person will be deemed to Beneficially Own (without duplication) the number of shares that are synthetically owned pursuant to such derivative transactions or such derivative securities.

3.14

Own Account.  The Seller is acquiring the Purchaser Shares and the Parent Shares (for purposes of Sections 3.14 – 3.18 only, the “Shares”) as principal for its own account for investment only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of the Shares and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of any of the Shares.




3.15

Seller Status.  At the time the Seller was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date of this Agreement it is, and as of the Closing Date it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and as set forth in Exhibit 2 - Investor Suitability Questionnaire attached hereto and made a part hereof.




3.16

Experience of the Seller.

The Seller has had the opportunity to review the SEC Reports and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Purchaser and the Parent concerning the Purchaser, the Parent and the Shares.  The Seller understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of the Seller’s investment.  The Seller understands that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Common Stock.  The Seller is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.




3.17

Restricted Securities.  The Seller understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws and that the Purchaser and the Parent is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Seller’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Seller set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Seller to acquire the Shares.  The Seller understands that, until such time as a Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the certificates evidencing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:




“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION 






FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN A COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER OF SUCH SECURITIES.  THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO RECOGNIZE OR GIVE EFFECT TO ANY TRANSFER MADE IN VIOLATION OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS. A COPY OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

 

The Seller understands that no federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.




3.18

Certain Transactions.

5.2                               Confidentiality.

 

(a) 

The Recipient agrees to receive all Confidential Information in strict confidence and to use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and not to use the Confidential Information for any other purpose.  Without limiting the foregoing, 






the Recipient agrees to protect the Confidential Information against disclosure to Third Parties, using the same standard of care that the Recipient applies to protect its own most highly confidential information (which in no event will be less than a reasonable standard of care).  The Recipient agrees not to disclose the Confidential Information to any Person other than: (i) its Representatives who are directly concerned, working on, advising on or consulted in connection with the Recipient’s obligations hereunder and whose knowledge of the Confidential Information is reasonably considered to be necessary for such purposes, or (ii) as required by applicable Law or an order by a Governmental Authority or any requirements of stock market or exchange or other regulatory body having competent jurisdiction; provided, except where not permitted by Law, the Recipient will give the Disclosing Party reasonable advance notice of such required disclosure, and will reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, in order to allow the Disclosing Party an opportunity to oppose, or limit the disclosure of the Confidential Information or otherwise secure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed; provided further, that if disclosure is ultimately required, the Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, based upon advice of legal counsel, the Recipient is required to disclose in compliance with any such requirement.  Recipient will ensure that Recipient’s Representatives are informed of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and are obligated to use and hold in confidence the Confidential Information in a manner consistent with the obligations of the Recipient under this Agreement prior to Recipient’s Representatives receiving any access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.  The Recipient hereby assumes full responsibility and liability to the Disclosing Party for any breach of this Agreement and any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any of Recipient’s Representatives.

 

(b)                                 Upon termination of this Agreement, the Recipient will, within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the Disclosing Party, at the election of the Recipient, return or destroy, or cause to be returned or destroyed (as applicable), all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party provided to the Recipient or its Representatives hereunder and all copies thereof, as well as all copies of all documents made by the Recipient’s Representatives containing or based upon Confidential Information (which, for avoidance of doubt, constitute Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement).  

  

If the Recipient elects that the Confidential Information be destroyed, then upon such destruction the Recipient will provide a certificate of destruction certifying compliance with this Section 5.2(d) to the Disclosing Party within 30 days after receipt of the original notice from the Disclosing Party requesting the destruction of Confidential Information.  For clarity, in the case of compilations or reports containing the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, only that part containing said Confidential Information will be destroyed or returned.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2(d), the Recipient will not be required to return or destroy copies of Confidential Information solely to the extent (i) the Recipient is required by applicable Law to retain such Confidential Information, (ii) such Confidential Information is stored in automated electronic backup systems of the Recipient or its Affiliates (provided that no use or disclosure in violation of this Section 5.2 will be made of such Confidential Information retained or stored pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) at any time), or (iii) such Confidential Information is reasonably necessary to enable the Recipient to enforce its rights or remedies, or otherwise comply with its obligations, hereunder (and then solely for such purpose and provided that no other use or disclosure in violation of this Section 5.2 will be made of such retained Confidential Information). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Recipient shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to actual or prospective lenders, acquirers, merger counterparties or investors in equity (including any of their respective advisors) to the extent reasonably required in connection with their respective evaluation of an actual or potential financing, acquisition, merger or investment transaction involving the Recipient or its Affiliates, subject to such Persons being bound by reasonably appropriate obligations of confidentiality (it being agreed that Recipient assumes full responsibility and liability to the Disclosing Party for any breach of this Section 5.2 and any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by such Persons).

 

5.3                               Consents and Filings.

 

(a)                                 The parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner possible the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate such transactions, (ii) taking all actions necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Authority and 






(iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. 

 

(b)                                 In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and use reasonable best efforts to (i) furnish all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) consult with the other party prior to taking a position, and permit the other parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any Governmental Authority by or on behalf of either party in connection with any investigations or proceedings related solely to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party and (iv) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any proceeding by a private party relating thereto, and give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences (unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority).  

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Purchaser may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.3(b) as “Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein will be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by outside counsel to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will cause its respective outside counsels to comply with this Section 5.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3(b) materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, privileged communications and competitively sensitive information.

  

5.4                               Information Rights.

 

(a)                                 From and after the date hereof and for so long after the Closing as the Purchaser holds any Company Shares, the Company will provide the Purchaser upon its request with (a) copies of all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC, (b) other publicly available financial and news information produced by the Company, (c) such information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may reasonably request (in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company and without requiring the Company to incur any material cost not reimbursed by the Purchaser).  In addition, upon the request of the Purchaser from time to time, the Company will cause members of its senior management to meet with members of the senior management of the Purchaser (in person or by conference telephone as agreed by the parties) to provide the Purchaser with a presentation regarding developments relating to the Company’s business and to respond to questions from the Purchaser.  No investigation conducted, however, will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the delivery of any notice or information pursuant to this Agreement, nor any information known or available to any party or inquiry conducted prior to or after the date of this Agreement, will limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to such party.

 

(b)                                 All information requested by Purchaser and provided by or on behalf of the Company under this Section 5.4 will be subject to the provisions of Section 5.2. Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 will require the Company to take any action that would, after consultation with counsel, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or similar privilege or violate confidentiality obligations owing to third parties; provided that if any information is withheld by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will (i) inform the Purchaser as to the general nature of what is being withheld and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to (A) accommodate any request from the Purchaser for information pursuant to this Section 5.4 in a manner that does 






not result in such a waiver or violation or (B) obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such access or disclosure.

  

5.5

Conduct of Business by the Company. The Company agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or as specifically contemplated in this Agreement, directly or indirectly:

(c)           take any action to adopt or implement a plan of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, merger, consolidation, restructuring or other reorganization, other than any such actions taken with respect to the Subsidiaries of the Company in the ordinary course of business;

 

(d)           declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, securities, property or otherwise, or dividends by wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company to the Company or to other wholly-owned Subsidiaries;

 

(e)           reclassify, combine, split, subdivide or redeem, or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of its capital stock;

 

(f)            knowingly take any actions or omit to take any actions that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 not being satisfied, (ii) result in new or additional required approvals from any Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or (iii) materially impair, interfere with, hinder or delay the ability of the Company or the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or

 

(g)           enter into any agreement or otherwise make a commitment to do any of the foregoing.

 

Nothing contained in this Agreement will give the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, rights to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations.

 

5.6          Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.5, from and after the Closing, the Company will defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each of the Affiliates of the Purchaser, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents (the “Indemnitees”), to the fullest extent lawful from and against any and all Actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses (including losses from the diminution of value of any securities issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Transaction Documents), costs, penalties, fees, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of or relating to (a) any inaccuracy in or misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents (other than in the Commercial Agreement, which matters are addressed therein) (in each case, without giving effect to any “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications) or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents (other than in the Commercial Agreement, which matters are 






addressed therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of fraud, the Company will have no duty to indemnify the Indemnitees for Indemnified Liabilities (i) unless and until the aggregate Indemnified Liabilities for which it would otherwise be liable under this Agreement exceed an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser for the Shares (at which point the Company will be liable only for Indemnified Liabilities in excess of such amount) or (ii) in the aggregate in excess of the Purchase Price paid by the Purchaser for the Shares.

9.3          Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

  

9.4          Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will 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 will any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

9.5          Survival.  All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing until the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties set forth in (and any claim arising from an inaccuracy or breach of) Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Authorization; Enforcement), Section 3.5 (Issuance of the Shares; Exemption from Registration), Section 3.6 (Capitalization), Section 3.17 (Brokers and Finders), Section 4.1 (Organization; Authority) and Section 4.9 (Brokers and  Finders) will survive the Closing indefinitely. The right of any party to assert a claim for indemnification relating to the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement to the extent required to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing Date will survive the Closing until the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date.  All covenants contained in this Agreement required to be performed or complied with in whole or in part after the Closing Date will survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or for such shorter period specified in this Agreement. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement must be asserted pursuant to a written claim notice given prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.5; provided that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of a claim for indemnification which is asserted pursuant to a written claim notice given after the Closing Date within the survival periods specified in this Section 9.5 will survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of such claim.

 

9.6          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser may not assign or delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that the Purchaser may assign and delegate any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of the Purchaser if such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. None of the rights granted to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents may be exercised by any Person, other than the Purchaser or any Affiliate of the Purchaser to which such rights are assigned in accordance with this Section 9.6 (so long as such assignee continues to be an Affiliate of the Purchaser); provided that the Purchaser may assign its rights under Section 6 to any Person that acquires Securities from the Purchaser (other than in a public offering or a sale pursuant to Rule 144) in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement representing more than 1% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock if such Person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (in which case, the Purchaser will have no  liability or obligation with respect to the obligations of the assignee hereunder). Subject to the foregoing, the Purchaser will remain primarily liable for the performance of all obligations of the Purchaser under the Transaction Documents notwithstanding any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6.

 

9.7          No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the Indemnitees under Section 5.9, 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.

  

9.8          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 will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. 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.

 

9.9          Remedies.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by any party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by such party.  The parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity, each party is entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other party and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement against the other party. Each party expressly waives any requirement that the other party obtain any bond or provide any 






indemnity in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.10        Business Days.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is not a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

9.11        Construction.  The parties agree that each of them and 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 will not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

 

9.12        Governing Law and Venue.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal procedural and substantive laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (whether brought against a party to this Agreement or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) will be solely and exclusively subject to the jurisdiction (a) in the United States District Court for the State of Florida and (b) in a state court of the State of Florida located in the County of Miami. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the foregoing courts for the adjudication of any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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 will constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein will be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

9.13        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

  

9.14        Counterparts and Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together will be considered one and the same agreement and will 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 will 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.

 

9.15        Further Assurances.  At any time or from time to time after the Closing, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of the other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder or thereunder.
