The business of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, except for any noncompliance therewith that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p)

Certain Fees.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(p) hereto, the Company has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders' structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

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 for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers 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.

(dd)

No Integrated Offering.   Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser to which it is a party and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all

Acquisition for Investment.  Each Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution.  Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances.  Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

(f)

General.  Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.  Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.  

(g)

No General Solicitation.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications.  Each Purchaser, in 






14















making the decision to purchase the Securities, has relied upon independent investigation made by it and has not relied on any information or representations made by third parties.

(h)

Accredited Investor.  Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities.  Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.  

(i)

Certain Fees.  The Purchasers have not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders' structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.

(j)

No Shorting.  No Purchaser has engaged in any short sales of any securities of the Company or instructed any third parties to engage in any short sales of securities of the Company on its behalf prior to the applicable Closing Date.  Each Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not be in a net short position (to be determined on a fully diluted, as converted basis and without regard to any ownership blocker provisions contained in the Certificate of Designation or other Transaction Documents) with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to it.

(k)

Independent Investment.  Except as may be disclosed in any filings by a Purchaser with the Commission, no Purchaser has agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.  The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser 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 been 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.

Section 3.2

Registration and Listing.  The Company shall cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, to comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, 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.  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 Securities 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.

Section 3.3

Inspection Rights.  Provided same would not be in violation of Regulation FD, 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 Series A Shares or shall beneficially own any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser's interests as a stockholder, to examine the publicly available, non-confidential 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 publicly available, non-confidential affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any Subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.

Section 3.4

Compliance with Laws.  The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Purchase Price exceeds $6 million, the Company may, in its discretion, use net proceeds after such Closing to repay outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes at maturity. 




Section 3.9

Reporting Status.  So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, 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 termination.

Section 3.11

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.

Section 3.12

Pledge of Securities.  The Company acknowledges that the Securities 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 Securities.  The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of the Securities 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 Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchaser’s expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

Section 3.13

Amendments.  The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation preferences, dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the Series A Shares.

Section 3.14

Distributions.  So long as Series A Shares 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.

Section 3.15

Reservation of Shares.  So long as any of the Series A Shares or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance, one hundred ten percent (110%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares.

Section 3.16

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 Series A Shares or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).  Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and 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 3.16 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the 






18















Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights 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 Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Conversion Shares or the Warrant 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 3.16 may 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 3.16 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.16, 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. 

Section 3.17

Disposition of Assets.  So long as the Series A Shares 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 of obsolete assets and sales to customers in the ordinary course of business or with the prior written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the Series A Shares then outstanding.

Section 3.18

Restrictions on Certain Issuances of Securities.  Except for (i) purchase money security interests on equipment purchased or leased by the Company and (ii) any liens on up to $1 million of the Company’s receivables in connection with any line of credit, factoring arrangement or other similar financing arrangement in connection with servicing the Company’s receivables, the Company shall not issue any securities that rank pari passu or senior to the Series A Shares without the prior written consent of at least two-thirds (2/3rds) of the Series A Shares outstanding at such time.

Section 3.19

Status of Dividends.  The Company covenants and agrees that (i) in no Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax or other submission to the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) will the Company treat the Series A Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so under the Code, applicable regulations or published rulings or announcements, and no deduction with respect to (a) the Series A Shares or (b) any distribution with respect to the Series A Shares shall operate to jeopardize the availability to Purchasers of the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the Series A Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or by a change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of action by an authoritative 






19















accounting standards setting body, and (iii) it will take no action which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Series A Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code.  The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating the Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with its prior practice concerning other series of preferred stock of the Company.  In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Series A Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Series A Shares, join with the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for a ruling that dividends paid on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income tax purposes, at the Purchasers’ expense.  In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers’ expense) in any litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any provision of the Code, applicable regulations or published rulings or announcements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on the Series A Shares or Conversion Shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends on the Shares is allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the Service shall issue a published ruling or advise that dividends on the Shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes.  If the Service specifically determines that the Series A Shares or the Conversion Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for refund.

Section 3.20

Subsequent Financings.  

(a)

So long as any of the Series A Shares remain outstanding, if, at any time after a Closing Date, the Company enters into any sale, exchange (or other type of distribution to) with any third party of Common Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock (a “Subsequent Financing”) on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Series A Shares, then the Purchasers in their sole discretion may exchange the Series A Shares, valued at their Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), together with accrued but unpaid dividends (which dividend payments shall be payable, at the sole option of the Purchasers, in cash or in the form of the new securities to be issued in the Subsequent Financing), for the securities issued or to be issued in the Subsequent Financing.  The Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify in writing the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any such proposed Subsequent Financing.

(b)

CERTIFICATE LEGEND 

Section 5.1

Legend.  Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in 






24















the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE "SECURITIES") HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR GLOWPOINT, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

The Company agrees to issue or reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request, and provided the conditions set forth in this paragraph shall have been met.  Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required, or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws has been effected, or (iii) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that a valid exemption exists with respect thereto.  The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days.  In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use 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 Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to 






25















electronically transmit the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser's Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

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 as a result of any 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 as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein.  The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder. 

Section 6.2

Indemnification Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter 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 such 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 indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), 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 not 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 






26















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.  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 obligations to defend the indemnified party 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 shall 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.  No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VII



MISCELLANEOUS

Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.  






27















(a)

The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  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 other Transaction Documents 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)

The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue.  The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York.  The Company and each Purchaser consent 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.  The Company and the Purchasers hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party.  The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.

No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Series A 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 Series A Shares, as the case may be.

The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the names of the Purchasers without the consent of the Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or unless and until such disclosure is required by law, rule or applicable regulation, including without limitation any disclosure pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and then only to the extent of such requirement. 






30

The provisions of this Agreement 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 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 and this Agreement 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.
