Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that such 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, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in Section 4(b) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


 


(d)           Furnishing of Information.  Until the earliest of the time that no 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 even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.  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, to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the requirements of the exemption provided by Rule 144.


 


(e)           Disclosure; Publicity.  No Purchaser shall issue any other press release or other public disclosure 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.


 


(f)           Reservation of Securities.  The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.   If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the conversion and exercise of all Securities outstanding on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to sufficiently increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.


 


(g)           Form D and Blue Sky.  If required, Company shall file a Form D with respect to the issuance of the Notes and Warrants (or the issuance of the Underlying Shares) as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and, upon written request, provide a copy thereof to Purchasers promptly after such filing. 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 Notes and Warrants for sale to Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof (or the Underlying Shares upon conversion of this Notes or exercise of the Warrants) under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to Purchasers promptly after such filing.  However, the Company shall not be required to execute any general consent to service of process in order to obtain such blue sky clearance, except in a jurisdiction where the Company is already subject to such process.


 


6.           Piggyback Registration Rights in Company. If, at any time, there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of all of the Underlying Shares, and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act, of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then Company shall send to the Purchasers a written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) days after receipt by the Purchasers of such notice, Company shall receive a request in writing from the Purchasers, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration statement all or any part of such Underlying Shares Purchasers request to be registered at no cost to the Purchasers (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions).  The Purchasers (or their designee(s)) shall also be provided with such other rights, and Company shall have such obligations, as customarily accompany investor piggyback registration rights, including, without limitation, the right of the Purchasers to customary indemnification by Company, Company’s obligation to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, the obligation of Company to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under applicable state securities and blue sky laws, the obligation of Company to cause the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed or quoted on the Trading Market on which Company’s 








  





  











  








securities are then listed or quoted and the obligation of Company to cause to be provided customary legal opinions and comfort letters of its independent certified accountants if requested in connection with a sale pursuant to such registration statement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if a registration involves an underwritten offering, and the lead managing underwriter shall advise Company that the amount of securities to be included in the offering exceeds the amount which can be sold in the offering, or (b) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder or other requirements or restrictions imposed by the Commission or its staff prevent the Company from registering all of the shares of Common Stock it seeks to register along with all of the shares of Common Stock to be registered for selling security holders, then, in either case, the number of Underlying Shares owned by the Purchasers to be included in the offering shall be eliminated or reduced as required by the managing underwriter or the rules, regulations, requirements or restrictions of the Commission or its staff.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Underlying Shares shall cease to be eligible for the foregoing registration and related rights when (a) a Registration Statement covering such Underlying Shares has been declared effective by the Commission and it has been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement or (b) such Underlying Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume restriction.


 


7.           Agent.







(a)           Appointment.  Each Purchaser hereby constitutes and appoints the Initial Lender as their representative (the “Agent”) and their true and lawful agents and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in each of their names and to act on behalf of each of them in the absolute discretion of the Agent (i) with respect to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) exercising all of the rights and remedies of the Purchasers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents following an “Event of Default” under the Notes, an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement or any other default under any of the Transaction Documents.  This appointment and grant of power and authority is coupled with an interest and is in consideration of the mutual covenants made in this Agreement and is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of the Purchasers (other than the resignation of the Agent) or by operation of law.  Each Purchaser consents to the taking of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Agent pursuant to this Section 7(a).  The Initial Lender may resign as Agent at any time by written notice to the Company and the other Purchasers.  Upon any such resignation, the Initial Lender shall use reasonable efforts to identify and appoint another Person to replace it as Agent hereunder.  If it is unable or otherwise does not appoint another Person to act as Agent, then the holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding under the Notes shall fulfill the role of the Agent.







(b)           Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may execute its rights or authority under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such rights and authority.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care.







(c)           Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, limited partners, members, managers, officers, attorneys-in-fact, representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person in good faith under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.  The Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or to inspect the books, records or properties of the Company.








  





  











  








(d)           Reliance by the Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail, statement, order or other document, communication or correspondence believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by officers of the Company, public officials, other appropriate persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.  The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents unless they shall first receive (but they are not required to obtain unless expressly stated elsewhere in this agreement) such advice or concurrence of the Purchasers as they deem appropriate.







(f)           Non-Reliance on Agent.  Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, limited partners, members, managers, attorneys-in-fact, representatives, subsidiaries or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by either Agent hereunder taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any other Purchaser.







(g)           Indemnification.  Each of the Purchasers shall, on a proportionate basis in accordance with its or his ownership interest in the Notes, indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits or disbursements (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) which the may be imposed on, incurred or sustained by, or asserted against the Agent at any time in any way relating to or arising out of any action or omission by the Agent in such capacity, except for those resulting from the Agent’s bad faith.







(h)           Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to and investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though they were not the Agent hereunder.  With respect to its investments and any indebtedness issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same to its own benefit, regardless of the impact on or to other Purchasers, as though it were not Agent.  The term “Purchaser” includes the Agent in its own capacity.







(i)           No Action by Other Purchasers.  No Purchaser other than the Agent shall pursue any remedies in respect of an “Event of Default” under the Notes, an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement or any other default under any of the Transaction Documents, it being the intent of the Purchasers that any an action to enforce rights of the Purchasers under any of the Transaction Documents be brought by the Agent as the representative of all Purchasers in a single action.







8.           Miscellaneous.


 


(a)           Successors and Assigns.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties.

(b)           Governing Law.  This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.  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 New York County, New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York 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.


 


(c)           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counter­parts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by courier, overnight delivery service, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or registered mail with postage prepaid and return receipt requested, if such notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the counterpart signature pages to this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice.


 


(f)           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.


 


(g)           Amendments and Waivers.  Any term of this Agreement may be amended or waived only with the written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) the Agent.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(g) shall be binding upon each Purchaser and each transferee of the Securities, each future holder of all such Securities, and the Company.


 


(h)           Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith, in order to maintain the economic position enjoyed by each party as close as possible to that under the provision rendered unenforceable.  In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.






  





  











  











(i)           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other written or oral agreements existing between the parties hereto are expressly canceled.

The representations and warranties contained in Section 3 shall survive indefinitely.


 


(k)           Exculpation Among Purchasers.
