In the event that any Buyer has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and such Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or failure is based solely on applicable Law that would prevent the removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by such Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer, certificates, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

(iii) Authorized Agent of the Company.  The Company hereby irrevocably appoints each Buyer and each Buyer’s counsel and its representatives, each as the Company’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Company for the purposes of authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, consistent with this Section 7.4(j). The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Buyer owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder.  In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and each Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Section 7.4(j) with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that each Buyer shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s irrevocable authority for each Buyer and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in each case as specifically contemplated in this Section 7.4(j), without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Company.  In addition, if requested by any Buyer, the Company agrees to use its best good faith efforts to get an agreement executed by the Transfer Agent, reasonably acceptable to each Buyer, pursuant to which the Transfer Agent agrees and confirms that it will act in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4(j).







(iv) Injunction and Specific Performance.  The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.4(j), each Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7.4(j) by the Company, each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.4(j).







7.5 Fees and Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay to each Buyer (or any designee or agent of the Buyers), upon demand, or to otherwise be responsible for the payment of, any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for any Buyer, and of any experts and agents, which any Buyer may incur or which may otherwise be due and payable in connection with: (i) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other similar taxes, fees or charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents; (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of any Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or (iii) the failure by the Company to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.  All such costs and expenses, if not so immediately paid when due or upon demand thereof, shall bear interest from the date of outlay until paid, at the highest rate set forth in the New Notes, or if none is so stated, the highest rate allowed by law.  All of such costs and expenses shall be additional Obligations of the Company to Buyers secured under the Transaction Documents.  The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.







7.6 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Share Reserve”). The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full exercise of the Warrants. If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take all required measures to implement an increase of the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within twenty (20) business days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

7.7 Warrants.  On the earlier to occur of: (i) the “Maturity Date” (as such term is defined in the New Notes); or (ii) the payment in full of all sums due and payable under the New Notes, whether through prepayment, at maturity, acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall issue to each Buyer, at each Buyer’s option: (A) five year warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount then outstanding under such Buyer’s New Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, divided by the per share purchase price of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents offered and sold in the Financing (the “Offering Price”), which warrants shall contain the terms set forth herein and in any other Transaction documents and otherwise be in a form customarily used for transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Warrants”), and which Warrants shall be exercisable at the Offering Price and shall include cashless exercise provisions commencing eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance of the Warrants if there is not at that time an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock exercisable upon exercise of the Warrants; or (B) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product arrived at by multiplying: (x) the principal amount then outstanding under such Buyer’s New Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder divided by the Offering Price; and (y) 0.33.







7.8 Board Representation.  Until the date on which: (A) each Buyer shall have sold all the Securities, including any Warrant Shares; and (B) none of the New Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Buyers, collectively, shall have the right to appoint two (2) designees to serve as members of the Company’s board of directors (such designees referred to as the “Buyer Board Members”), which Buyer Board Members shall also be designated as members of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors.  The Buyers shall deliver a written notice to the Company with the names of the Persons selected to be the Buyer Board Members.  In this regard, the Company and its current officers and directors hereby agree to use its and their best efforts to cause a majority of its stockholders to enter into a voting agreement or other agreement pursuant to which such majority stockholders agree and consent to vote their respective shares for the purposes of electing such designees.  As between the Buyers, the Buyers agree that at least one of the Buyer Board Members shall always be selected and designated by Cornelis Wit, one of the Buyers, and the other Buyer Board Member shall be designated upon the affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers.

ARTICLE XI


MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS







11.1 Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights.  Except as specifically set forth in Section 11.3 below, the obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or more of the Transaction Documents.  The decision of each Buyer to purchase the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by each such Buyer independently of any other Buyer 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 its subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the Buyer in question, the “Buyer Representatives”).  No Buyer Representative shall have any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions, if any.  Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents, except as set forth in Section 11.3 below.  Except as set forth in Section 11.3 below, each Buyer 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 Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.  The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of administrative convenience: (i) the Transaction Documents have been prepared and/or negotiated by counsel for one of the Buyers, and that such counsel does not represent all of the Buyers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and each other Buyer has retained its own counsel (or had the opportunity to do so) with respect to such transactions; and (ii) the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer.  In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.







11.2 Equal Treatment of Buyers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers parties to the Transaction Documents.







11.3 Collateral Agent.

 


(a) Appointment.  For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of Buyers’ rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, if, as and only to the extent there is a default or “Event of Default” (as such term may be used or defined in any of the Transaction Documents) by the Company under any of the Transaction Documents, each Buyer hereby: (i) agrees that Cornelis Wit, one of the Buyers, shall have the right to appoint a Person to serve as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Transaction Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), which appointment shall be made by Mr. Wit in writing and delivered to the Company and all other Buyers within thirty (30) days from the Closing; and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to exercise all rights and privileges accruing to the Buyers (prorata in accordance with each Buyer’s relative percentage ownership of the aggregate amount of New Notes) by reason of the terms and provisions hereof and thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or the Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer, and the Collateral Agent shall exercise all rights and privileges accruing to the Buyers under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents according to Collateral






  





-24-











  








Agent’s discretion and the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. Collateral Agent shall not have any liability to any Buyer with respect to any action taken or omitted by Collateral Agent, its employees, agents, representatives or counsel, in connection with any of the Transaction Documents and the collateral thereunder, or for any error in judgment, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any Claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or the Transaction Documents. Collateral Agent does not assume, and shall not have, any responsibility or liability, express or implied, to any Buyer for the enforceability or collectability of any of the New Notes or any other Transaction Documents, the nature, location or value of any collateral securing the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, the condition of the Company or ComTel Sub, financial or otherwise, or the likelihood or timing of realization on, any such collateral, or for the accuracy of any credit or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company and ComTel Sub, whether as part of due diligence prior to Closing, as part of the Company’s representations, warranties or disclosures in any Transaction Documents, or as part of any reporting requirements by the Company.







(b) Reliance By Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.







(c) Resignation and Replacement of Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to each of the Buyer. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment as provided below. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Buyers, upon the affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers, shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed (and accepted by such successor Collateral Agent) within said ten (10) business day period, the retiring Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve until such time, if any, as the Buyers, by affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above.
