The Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective, and intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions.

(ff)

Independent Nature of Purchasers.  The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Transaction Documents.  The Company acknowledges that the decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase 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 which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or 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.  The Company acknowledges that 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.  The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel and such counsel does not represent the Purchasers, who have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company acknowledges that it 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.  The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Notes, Shares and Warrants for resale except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

(i)

Covenants

Section 3.1

Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants with each of the Purchasers as follows, which covenants are for the benefit of the Purchasers and their permitted assignees (as defined herein):

 

a. 

Securities Compliance.  The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with their rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, including filing a Form D with respect to the Notes, Warrants, and Shares as required under Regulation D, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Notes, the Warrants, and the Shares to the Purchasers or subsequent holders. 




b.

Registration and Listing.  The Company shall comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, to comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, and to not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein or therein.  The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading.  Subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.  Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.




c.

Inspection Rights.  The Company shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as such Purchaser shall be obligated hereunder to purchase the Notes or shall beneficially own any Notes, or shall own Conversion Shares which, in the aggregate, represent more than 2% of the total combined voting power of all voting securities then outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser’s interests as a stockholder to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees. 






17




 




d.

Compliance with Laws.  The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.




e.

Keeping of Records and Books of Account.  The Company shall keep and cause each subsidiary to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.




f.

Reporting Requirements.  If the Commission ceases making periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act available via the Internet, then at a Purchaser’s request the Company shall furnish the following to such Purchaser so long as such Purchaser shall beneficially own any Notes that have not been fully converted or any Warrants that have not been fully exercised: (i) Quarterly Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-QSB as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) business days after the document is filed with the Commission; (ii) Annual Reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-KSB as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) business days after the document is filed with the Commission; and (iii) Copies of all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock, within five (5) business days after the document is filed with the Commission.  




g.

Other Agreements.  The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any subsidiary from performing under any Transaction Document.




h.

Subsequent Financings.   The Company shall not issue any Indebtedness ranking either senior to or pari-passu with the Notes while at least 50% of the original principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding without the consent of the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Notes.




i.

 Distributions.  So long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.




j.

Use of Proceeds.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder shall be used by the Company for working capital, sales and marketing, and general corporate purposes, and not to redeem any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or to settle any outstanding litigation.  









18

 







k.

Reservation of Shares.  So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.




l.

Transfer Agent Instructions.  The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).  Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement.  The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.1(l) will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.  If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend.  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.1(l) will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.1(l) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.1(l), that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.




m.

Disposition of Assets.  So long as the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Notes then outstanding.  




n.

Reporting Status.  So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Shares, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such.






19

 







o.

Disclosure of Material Information.  The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.




p.

Pledge of Securities.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock.  The pledge of Common Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers' expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.




Section 3.2

Covenants of the Purchasers. 

a.

Trading Activities.  Each of the Purchasers covenants with the Company that for so long as such Purchaser owns the Warrants or the Shares, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, (i) such Purchaser’s trading activities with respect to the Shares shall be in compliance with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws, and (ii) such Purchaser agrees that it shall not, and it will cause its Affiliates (as defined below) not to, engage in any short sales with respect to the Common Stock.

minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person or entity (collectively, a “Person”), any other Person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person, including without limitation any general partner, managing member, officer or director of such Person, or, in the case of natural persons, any Immediate Family Member of such Person.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Immediate Family Member” means a child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, of a natural person referred to herein.

A transferring Purchaser will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Notes, the Warrants and the Shares held by such Purchaser to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement and to provide information reasonably requested by the Company about such purchaser, pledgee or transferee.

the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection
with such proposed disposition, or (ii) the Company has received other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company that compliance with applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected or a valid exemption exists with
respect thereto. The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder
within five (5) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this
Section 5.1, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with
any such applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws, but shall in no event
be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then
qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general
service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply
with state securities or "blue sky" laws of any state for which registration by
coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer
contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of
limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section
of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Shares is required to
be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the applicable Shares (provided that a registration
statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Shares is
then in effect and such request is in connection with a sale), the Company shall
cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Shares to a Purchaser
by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with the Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC")
system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement)
provided that the Company and the Company's transfer agent are participating in
DTC through the DWAC system.

ARTICLE VI

  

Indemnification

Section 6.1

General Indemnity.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers solely as a result and to the extent of a material inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.  Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses 
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company solely as result and to the extent of a material inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein.  In addition, each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which each Purchaser or any of its officers, employees, or representatives is responsible.  The maximum aggregate liability of each Party pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder. /P>

Section 6.2

Indemnification Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will promptly give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification required by this Article 
VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(a)

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.

(b)

Each of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the Delaware and the courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each of the Company and the Purchasers consents to process being 
served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof 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 in this Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 






27

 




(c)

No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person 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 parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Preferred Shares, as the case may be.

No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

Section 7.6

Section 7.11

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 7.13

Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and such provision shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 7.14

Further Assurances.  From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of any Purchaser or the Company, each of the Company and the Purchasers shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement, the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares.
