ARTICLE III

 



REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

3.1 Representations
and Warranties of the Company. Except as described in the SEC
Reports (as defined in Section 3.1(h), below) or any information
contained or incorporated therein, which collectively shall be
deemed a part hereof and shall qualify any representation or
otherwise made herein to the extent of the disclosure contained in
the corresponding section of the SEC Reports, the Company hereby
makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser
that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date:

 

(a) Subsidiaries.
The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock
or other equity interests of each Subsidiary free and clear of any
Liens, and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid,
non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights to
subscribe for or purchase securities. If the Company has no
subsidiaries, all other references to the Subsidiaries, or any of
them, in the Transaction Documents shall be
disregarded.

 

(b) Organization and
Qualification. The
Company and each of the Subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated
or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization,
with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently
conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation
nor default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate
or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or
charter documents, except to the extent that any such default would
not have or reasonably be expected to result in: (i) a material
adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any
Transaction Document, (ii) a material adverse effect on the results
of operations, assets, business or condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability
to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its
obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or
(iii), a “Material Adverse
Effect”),
provided that none of the following alone shall be deemed, in and
of itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect: (i) a change in
the market price or trading volume of the Common Stock or (ii) a
change in general economic conditions or affecting the industry in
which the Company operates generally (as opposed to
Company-specific changes), so long as such changes do not have a
materially disproportionate effect on the Company. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or
property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except
where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the
case may be, would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, and no Proceeding has been instituted in
any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing, or seeking
to revoke, limit or curtail, such power and authority or
qualification.

 

(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company, and
no further action is required by the Company, the board of
directors of the Company (the “Board of
Directors”) or
the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or
therewith, other than in connection with the Required Approvals.
This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by
the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.

 



 







 





 

(d) No
Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party, the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any
provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other
organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time
or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of
any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time
or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise)
or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a
party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any
Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) subject to the Required
Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the
Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset
of the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the
case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(e) Filings, Consents
and Approvals. The
Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing
or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or
other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents, other than: (i) the filings required
pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Agreement and (ii) such filings
as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws
(collectively, the “Required
Approvals”).

 

(f) Issuance
of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares are duly
authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the
applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed
by the Company. Assuming the accuracy
of each of the representations and warranties of each Purchaser set
forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by
the Company of the Preferred Shares is exempt from registration
under the Securities Act.

 

(g) Capitalization.
As of the date hereof, the capitalization of the Company is
described in Schedule 3.1(g) attached hereto. The Company has not
issued any capital stock since its most recently filed Form 8-K
current report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange
Act”), other
than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the
Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of
Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee
stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise
of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act. No Person
has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of
participation or any similar right to participate in the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a
result of the purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares or as
disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any
character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or
giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares
of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings or
arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents. The issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares
will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or
other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will
not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust
the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such
securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been
issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws,
and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any
preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities. Other than the Required Approvals, no further approval
or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or
others is required for the issuance and sale of the Preferred
Shares. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no
stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar
agreements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to
which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company,
between or among any of the Company’s
stockholders.

 

(h) SEC Reports;
Financial Statements. The Company has filed all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be
filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act,
including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two
years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the
Company was required by law or regulation to file such material)
(the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and
documents incorporated by reference therein, are collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC
Reports”) on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of
filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration
of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC
Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of
the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of
the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of
filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except
as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the
notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may
not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in
all material respects the financial position of the Company and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results
of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal recurring
adjustments.

 

(i) Absence of Material
Changes. Since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included within the
SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC
Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event,
occurrence or development that has had or that would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company
has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other
than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the
ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B)
liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s
financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made
with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method
of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any
dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its
stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to
purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the
Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer,
director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock
option plans.

 



 







 





 

(j) No Undisclosed
Events, Liabilities or Developments. Except for the issuance of the
Preferred Shares contemplated by this Agreement or as disclosed in
the SEC Reports, no event, liability, fact, circumstance,
occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably
expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, properties,
operations, assets or financial condition that would be required to
be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws on a
registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to
an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and which
has not been publicly announced.

 

(k) Absence of
Litigation. There is
no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any
of their respective properties before or by any court, arbitrator,
governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority
(federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an
“Action”)
that (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Preferred
Shares or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor, to the
knowledge of the Company, any director or officer thereof, is or
has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation
of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim
of breach of fiduciary duty that would be required to be disclosed
in SEC Reports. There has not been, and, to the knowledge of the
Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by
the Commission involving the Company or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any current or former director or officer of the Company.
The Commission has not issued any stop order or other order
suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by
the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act.

 

(l) Employee
Relations. No labor
dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent
with respect to any of the employees of the Company that would
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None
of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees is a
member of a union that relates to such employee’s
relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective
bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe
that their relationships with their employees are good. To the
knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or
any Subsidiary, is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any
material term of any employment contract, confidentiality,
disclosure or proprietary information agreement or non-competition
agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the
foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in
compliance with all United States federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where the failure to be in compliance would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(m) Compliance.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or
in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived
that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a
default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the
Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in
default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or
credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it
is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound
(whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is
in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court,
arbitrator or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been
in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign,
federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental
protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and
safety and employment and labor matters, except, in each case, as
would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(n) Regulatory
Permits. The Company
and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and
permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign
regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective
businesses as currently conducted as described in the SEC Reports,
except where the failure to possess such permits would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(“Material
Permits”), and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or adverse modification of
any Material Permit.

 

(o) Title to
Assets. The Company
and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple
to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title in
all personal property owned by them that is material to the
business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and
clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially
affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of
federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither
delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and the Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with
which the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, except
where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(p) Intellectual
Property Rights.
Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company and the
Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent
applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks,
trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and
other similar intellectual property rights that are used in and
necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as
currently conducted as described in the SEC Reports and which the
failure to so have would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the
“Intellectual
Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has received notice (written or otherwise) that the
conduct of its business as currently conducted as described in the
SEC Reports violates or infringes upon the intellectual property
rights of others, except for such conflicts or infringements that,
individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the
Company, all of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Company and
its Subsidiaries are enforceable. The Company and its Subsidiaries
have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy and
confidentiality of all of their Intellectual Property Rights,
except where failure to do so would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 



 







 





 


(q) Insurance.
The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses
in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including,
but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at
least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will
not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar
insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a
significant increase in cost.

  



(r) Transactions with
Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC
Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company or any
Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently a party to
any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary (other than for
services as employees, officers and directors), including any
contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the
furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or
personal property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money
from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such
employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case, in excess of
$150,000, other than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees
for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on
behalf of the Company and (iii) other employee benefits, including
stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the
Company.

 

(s) Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. The Company is
in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of
the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, except where the
failure to be in compliance would not result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(t) Internal Accounting
and Disclosure Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries
maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in
accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is
permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for
assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals
and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls
and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently
filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the
“Evaluation
Date”). The
Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under
the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based
on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.

 

(u) Certain
Fees. No brokerage
or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by the
Company or any Subsidiary to any broker, financial advisor or
consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or
other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. The Purchaser shall have no obligation with
respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on
behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this
Section that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

(v) Investment Company
Status. The Company
is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt
of payment for the Preferred Shares, will not be or be an Affiliate
of, and for so long as the Purchasers hold any Preferred Shares,
will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”). The
Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not
become an “investment company” subject to registration
under the Investment Company Act. To the Company’s knowledge,
the Company is not controlled by an “investment
company.”

 

(w) Listing and
Maintenance Requirements. The Company has not, in the 12 months
preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market
on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the
effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is,
and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable
future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and
maintenance requirements.

 

(x) Application of
Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of
Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to
render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter
documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to the Purchaser as a result of the
Purchaser and the Company fulfilling their obligations or
exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including,
without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of
the Preferred Shares and the Purchaser’s ownership of the
Preferred Shares.

 



 







 





 

(y) Disclosure.
Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company
confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf
has provided the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any
information that it believes constitutes material, non-public
information. The Company understands and confirms that the
Purchaser will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company. The press releases
disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the
date of this Agreement, each as of the date of its issuance, did
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser does not make
and has not made any representations or warranties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby, other than those specifically
set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

 

(z) No Integrated
Offering. Assuming
the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.2, neither the Company nor any of its
Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalves, 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 this offering of the Preferred Shares to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable
shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any
of the securities of the Company are listed or
designated.

 

(aa) Solvency.
As disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company does not currently
generate significant recurring revenue. The SEC Reports set forth,
as of the date hereof, all outstanding secured and unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the
Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. For the purposes of this
Agreement, “Indebtedness”
means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in
excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in
the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements
and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of
others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto),
except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for
deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary
course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments
in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in
accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
default with respect to any Indebtedness, except where such default
would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the
aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(bb) Tax
Status. Except for
matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, the
Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United
States federal, state and local income and all foreign income and
franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any
jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes and
other governmental assessments and charges that are material in
amount shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision
reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for
periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any
jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary
know of no basis for any such claim.

 

(cc) Anti-Bribery.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the
Company or any Subsidiary, any officer, employee, agent or other
person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i)
directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions,
gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign
or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to
foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any
foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate
funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the
Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its
behalf of which the Company is aware) that is in violation of law,
or (iv) violated, in any material respect, any provision of the
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the
“FCPA”).

 

(dd) Acknowledgment
Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Preferred
Shares. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the
capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.
The Company further acknowledges that the Purchaser is not acting
as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any
similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby, and any advice given by the
Purchaser or any of its respective representatives or agents in
connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby, is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s
purchase of the Preferred Shares. The Company further represents to
the Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely
on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated
hereby by the Company and its representatives.

 

(ee) Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in the Transaction Documents
to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged
by the Company that: (i) the Purchaser has not been asked by the
Company to agree, nor has the Purchaser agreed, to desist from
purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the
Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities
issued by the Company or to hold the Preferred Shares for any
specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other
transactions by the Purchaser, specifically including, without
limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions,
before or after the closing of this or future private placement
transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the
Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) the Purchaser,
and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to
which the Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently
may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and
(iv) the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with
or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any
“derivative” transaction. The Company further
understands and acknowledges that (y) the Purchaser may engage in
hedging activities at various times during the period that the
Preferred Shares are outstanding and (z) such hedging activities
(if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’
equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the
hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges
that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a
breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(ff) Regulation
M Compliance. The
Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf
has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the
price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or
resale of any of the Preferred Shares, (ii) sold, bid for, or
purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of,
any of the Preferred Shares, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any
Person any compensation for soliciting another Person to purchase
any other securities of the Company.

 



 







 





 


(gg) No
Conflicts with Sanctions Laws. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any director,
officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any
Subsidiary, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered
or enforced by the U.S. government (including, without limitation,
the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury
Department (“OFAC”)).

  



(hh) U.S.
Real Property Holding Corporation. The Company is not and has never
been, and so long as any of the Preferred Shares are held by any of
the purchasers, shall become, a U.S. real property holding
corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Company shall so certify
upon Purchaser’s request.

 

(ii) Bank
Holding Company Act.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is
subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
“BHCA”),
and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the “Federal
Reserve”).
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates owns
or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of
the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or
twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total equity of a bank or
any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the
Federal Reserve. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates exercises a controlling influence over the management or
policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to
regulation by the Federal Reserve.

 

(jj) Compliance
with Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The operations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance
with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements
of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as
amended, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the applicable money
laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder
(collectively, the “Money Laundering
Laws”), and no
action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental
agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company
or any Subsidiary with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary,
threatened.

 

3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to the
Company:

 

(a) Organization;
Authority. The
Purchaser is an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or similar power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

(b) Validity;
Enforcement. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by the
Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership,
limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the
part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a
party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms,
except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or
other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and
contribution provisions may be limited by applicable
law.

 

(c) No
Conflicts. The
execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this
Agreement and the consummation by such Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in
a violation of the organizational documents of such Purchaser or
(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, indenture or instrument to which
such Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, or decree (including
federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser,
except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such
conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of such Purchaser to
perform its obligations hereunder or consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby on a timely
basis.

 

(d) No Public Sale or
Distribution; No Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser understands
that the Preferred Shares, and the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Preferred Shares (together, the “Securities”) are “restricted
securities” and have not been registered under the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account and not with a view to or for
distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law, has no present intention of distributing any of such
Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or
understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding
the distribution of such Securities (this representation and
warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the
Securities otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and
state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities
hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business.

 

(e) Accredited Investor
Status. Such
Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as
defined in Regulation D under the Securities
Act.

 

(f) Reliance on
Exemptions. Such
Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and
sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws
and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy
of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the
representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and
understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to
determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility
of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

 



 







 





 

(g) Experience of the
Purchaser. The
Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has
such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and
financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it
deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the
Securities. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to
afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(h) Access to
Information. The
Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review
the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules
thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the
opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of,
and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares
and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to
information about the Company and its financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects
sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company
possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense
that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to the investment. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that neither the placement agent, if any, nor any Affiliate of the
placement agent, if any, has provided the Purchaser with any
information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such
information or advice necessary or desired. Neither the placement
agent, if any, nor any Affiliate has made or makes any
representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities
and the placement agent, if any, and any of its Affiliates may have
acquired non-public information with respect to the Company that
the Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with
the issuance of the Securities to the Purchaser, neither the
placement agent, if any, nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a
financial advisor or fiduciary to the
Purchaser.

 

(i) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is
not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities
published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(j) Certain Transactions
and Confidentiality.
Such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or
pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or
indirectly, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales,
of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of
the time that the Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or
oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company
setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated
hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.
Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such
Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation,
its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors,
employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the
confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with
this transaction (including the existence and terms of this
transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of
doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation
or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the
identification of the availability of, or securing of, available
shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar
transactions in the future.

 

(k) Ownership of
Securities. The
Purchaser, together with the Purchaser’s Affiliates and
associates and any Person with which the Purchaser is acting
jointly or in concert, will upon Closing beneficially own less than
10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and,
solely for purposes of calculating such beneficial ownership for
purposes of this Agreement, any such Person will be deemed to
beneficially own any shares of Common Stock that such Person
otherwise has the right to acquire within 60 days (including upon
the occurrence of a contingency or the making of a payment)
pursuant to any convertible security, agreement, arrangement,
pledge or understanding, whether or not in
writing.

 

(l) No Governmental
Review. Such
Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency
or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or
made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor
have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the
offering of the Securities.

 

(m) Brokers or
Finders. Neither
such Purchaser nor any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144)
or any of their respective officers or directors has employed any
broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial
advisory fee, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fee,
and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for such
Purchaser or any of its affiliates or any of their respective
officers or directors in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(n) Transfer or Resale. Such Purchaser
understands that the Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection
with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective
registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an
Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as
contemplated in Section 3.2(o), the Company may require the
transferor thereof to provide the Company an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the
Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer,
any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a
Purchaser under this Agreement.

 



 







 





 

(o) Legends. Such Purchaser understands that
the book-entry or other instruments representing the Securities
shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form
(and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such
Securities):

 


THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF
COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH
SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

 



The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations
contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the
Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any
representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction
Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or
delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 4.3 on behalf of such Purchaser. The proxy granted pursuant

The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy
or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in
Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the

conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction

any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser
or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company
believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior

with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting
transactions in securities of the Company.

including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities
during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement
and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial

such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press
release as described in Section 4.6, the Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser does not make any

in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after
the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are

described in Section 4.6, (ii) the Purchaser shall not be
restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any
securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities
laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by

6.4 Amendments;
Waivers. No
provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented
or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an
amendment, by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of
the aggregate amount of Preferred Shares issued hereunder, or, in
the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any
such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with
respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future
or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

6.5 Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to
limit or affect the interpretation of any of the provisions of this
Agreement.

 

6.6 Successors
and Assigns. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may
not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Following the
Closing, the Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under
this Agreement to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or
transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in
writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by
the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the
“Purchaser.”

 

6.7 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns only, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each
Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the
Company with respect to Section 4.11.

 



 







 





 

6.8 Governing
Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and
interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of
the State of New York, without regard to the principles of
conflicts of law thereof. 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,
partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
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, or that such court is an improper or inconvenient venue for
such suit, action or 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 suit, action or proceeding
to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in
addition to the obligations of the Company under Section
4.11, the prevailing party in such suit,
action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such suit, action or proceeding.

 

6.9 Survival.
Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 5, the
representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1(a) and (b)
shall survive the Closing, and the agreements and covenants
contained in Article IV shall survive the Closing until fully
performed. Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own
representations, warranties, agreements, and covenants
hereunder.

 

6.10 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical
counterparts, both of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and this Agreement shall become
effective when each party has delivered its signature to the other
party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format
data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding
obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed), with the same force and effect as if such
facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original
thereof.

 

6.11 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement
is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their
commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that
contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It
is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the
parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of
such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable.

 

6.12 Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be
done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates,
instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably
request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the
purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby.

 

6.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions
of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser
exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction
Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser
may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion, from time to time,
upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or
election, in whole or in part, without prejudice to its future
actions and rights.

 

6.14 Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided
herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the
Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance
under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and the Company therefore agrees that the Purchasers
shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief
in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages
and without posting a bond or other security.

 

6.15 Payment
Set Aside. To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the
Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser
enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise, or any
part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, disgorged or
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the
Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law
(including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then, to the
extent of any such restoration, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 



 







 





 


6.16 Independent
Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are
several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser,
and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the
performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein
or in any other 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. 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. Each Purchaser has been represented by
its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the
Transaction Documents. The Company 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 any of the Purchasers.

 



6.17 Liquidated
Damages. The
Company’s obligation to pay any amounts owing under the
Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and
shall not terminate until all unpaid amounts have been paid,
notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant
to which such amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled.

 

6.18 Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel
have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the
effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the
Transaction Documents or any amendments
thereto.

 

6.19 WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. IN
ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY
EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE PARTIES EACH
KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND
EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
