The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue (i) the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Interest Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes and (ii) the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case is absolute and unconditional, regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.
 
2.23 Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill (including, without limitation, any distribution under a rights agreement), stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision under its articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents, as amended to date, or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or otherwise which is or could become applicable to the Investor as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's issuance of the Securities and the Investor's ownership of the Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
 
2.24 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person (as defined herein) acting on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
 
2.25 Transactions With Affiliates. Except for Flex Mining which is owed approximately $12,000 by the Company, none of the officers, directors, employees or affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or 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, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such officer, director, employee or affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any corporation, partnership, trust or other Person in which any such officer, director, employee or affiliate has a substantial interest or is an employee, officer, director, trustee or partner.
 
2.26 Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable 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 at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.27 Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company believes that its and its Subsidiaries' relations with their respective employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer's employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No executive officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) 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 federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
2.28 Title. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to all real property, leases in real property, or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the "Real Property") owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable). The Real Property is free and clear of all mortgages, defects, claims, liens, pledges, charges, taxes, rights of first refusal, encumbrances, security interests and other encumbrances (collectively "Encumbrances") and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (a) liens for current taxes not yet due and (b) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto. In addition, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good and marketable title to all personal property, owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, free and clear of all Encumbrances except such as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries. Any Real Property and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
 
2.29 Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
 
2.30 Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely 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, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all 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 and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim.

The Company shall (a) by 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the Initial Closing Date, issue a press release in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Investor disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Initial Press Release") and (b) issue a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, within the time required by the 1934 Act. From and after the issuance of the Initial Press Release, the Company represents to the Investor that the Company shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Investor as of such time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

4.5 Legends. 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 the Investor or in connection with a pledge, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to 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 1933 Act. The Investor understands that the certificate or other instrument representing the Notes and the Warrants and the stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, except as set forth below, shall bear any legends as required by applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws in addition to a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):
 
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE [CONVERTIBLE][EXERCISABLE] HAVE BEEN] [THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.    
	 
	12

	

	 


     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the stock certificates representing the Interest Shares that may be issued to or for the benefit of the Investor pursuant to the Notes and this Agreement shall not bear any such restrictive legends and no stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates.
 
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove the legend set forth above and to issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, or to issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, unless otherwise required by state securities or "blue sky" laws, at such time as (i) such Securities are registered for resale under the 1933 Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144 or Rule 144A), such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form generally acceptable to the Company's legal counsel and the Transfer Agent, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 or Rule 144A, such holder provides the Company and its legal counsel with reasonable assurance in writing that the Securities are being sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A (which shall not include an opinion of Investor's counsel). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company agrees that, following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is not required pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company shall, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by the Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the "Legend Removal Date"), either: (A) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a certificate representing such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (B) cause the Transfer Agent to credit the Investor's or its designee's account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, represented by the certificate so delivered by the Investor. If the Company fails on or prior to the Legend Removal Date to either (i) issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the Investor a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other legends or (ii) cause the Transfer Agent to credit the balance account of the Investor or its designee at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system with a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, represented by the certificate delivered by the Investor pursuant hereto (a "Delivery Failure"), and if on or after the Legend Removal Date the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of shares of Common Stock that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then the Company shall, within three Trading Days after the Investor's request, pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, at which point the Company's obligation to deliver a certificate or credit the Investor's or its designee's account at DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled(the "Buy-In Remedy"). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any given Delivery Failure, the Investor shall be entitled, at the election of the Investor, to recovery either pursuant to this Buy-In Remedy or Section 3(c)(ii) of the Notes, but not both.
 
4.6 Fees and Expenses. Each party shall bear its own fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that $35,000 shall be withheld by the Investor from the Initial Purchase Price at the Initial Closing as a non-accountable and non-refundable document preparation fee (the "Document Preparation Fee") in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and legal due diligence of the Company, and shall be paid directly to the Investor's counsel on the Initial Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt, the Document Preparation Fee (and any portion thereof) shall be non-refundable when paid. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any conversion or exercise notice delivered by a Investor), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Investor. Each party represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finders' fee or commission in connection with this transaction. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finders' fee (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which the Company or any of its officers, employees or representatives is responsible.

4.7 No Net Short Sales. So long as the Notes and Warrants remain outstanding, neither the Investor nor any of its affiliates nor any entity managed or controlled by the Investor (collectively, the "Restricted Persons" and each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a "Restricted Person") shall maintain, in the aggregate, a Net Short Position. For purposes hereof, a "Net Short Position" by a Restricted Person means a position whereby such Restricted Person has executed one or more sales of Common Stock that is marked as a short sale (but not including any sale marked "short exempt") and that is executed at a time when such Restricted Person does not have an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock (or is deemed to have a long position hereunder or otherwise in accordance with Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act); provided, further that no "Short Sale" shall be deemed to exist as a result of any failure by the Company (or its agents) to Person converting such Notes or exercising such Warrants, as applicable. For purposes of determining whether a Restricted Person has an equivalent offsetting long position in the Common Stock, such Restricted Person shall be deemed to hold "long" all Common Stock that is either (i) then owned by such Restricted Person, if any, or (ii) then issuable to such Restricted Person as Conversion Shares or Interest Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes, or Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, in each case then held by such Restricted Person, if any (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in the Notes or on exercise set forth in the Warrants, as applicable, and giving effect to any conversion or exercise price adjustments, as applicable, that would take effect given only the passage of time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall (without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true) prohibit any Restricted Person from selling "long" (as defined under Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act) the Securities or any other Common Stock then owned by such Restricted Person.
 
4.8 Pledge of Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by the Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities, provided that such pledge is exempt from the registration provisions of state and federal securities laws. The pledge of Securities shall not require the Investor 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. 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 the Investor.
 
4.9 No Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.
 
4.10 Passive Foreign Investment Company. The Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.
 
4.11 No Frustration. So long as the Investor or its affiliates hold any Notes or Warrants, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, directors, agents or other representatives, will, without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the Investor's sole discretion), effect, enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction (or issue, amend or waive any security) that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute or involve a Variable Rate Transaction or (ii) restrict, delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to timely perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or the Warrants, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Company to timely deliver shares of Common Stock to the Investor or its affiliates in accordance with this Agreement, the Notes or the Warrants.

4.12 Exclusivity. From and after the date hereof and so long as the Investor or its affiliates hold any Notes or Warrants, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, directors, agents or other representatives, will, without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the Investor's sole discretion), directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, initiate, encourage or accept any other inquiries, proposals or offers from any Person (other than the Investor) relating to any exchange (i) of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any other security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent (x) consummated pursuant to an exchange registered under a registration statement of the Company filed pursuant to the 1933 Act and declared effective by the Commission or (y) such exchange is exempt from registration pursuant to an exemption provided under the 1933 Act (other than Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act) or (ii) of any indebtedness or other securities of, or claim against, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relying on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act (any such transaction described in clauses (i) or (ii), an "Exchange Transaction"); (b) enter into, effect, alter, amend, announce or recommend to its stockholders any Exchange Transaction with any Person (other than the Investor); or (c) participate in any discussions, conversations, negotiations or other communications with any Person (other than the Investor) regarding any Exchange Transaction, or furnish to any Person (other than the Investor) any information with respect to any Exchange Transaction, or otherwise cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any Person (other than the Investor) to seek an Exchange Transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries, nor any of its or their respective officers, employees, directors, agents or other representatives, will, without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the Investor's sole discretion), directly or indirectly, cooperate in any way, assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt by any Person (other than the Investor) to effect any acquisition of securities or indebtedness of, or claim against, the Company by such Person from an existing holder of such securities, indebtedness or claim in connection with a proposed exchange of such securities or indebtedness of, or claim against, the Company (whether pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) or 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act or otherwise) (a "Third Party Exchange Transfer"). The Company, its affiliates and Subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective officers, employees, directors, agents or other representatives shall immediately cease and notice shall be provided orally and in writing and shall identify the Person making the inquiry, request, proposal or offer and set forth the material terms thereof) the Investor after receipt of any inquiry, request, proposal or offer relating to any Exchange Transaction or Third Party Exchange Transfer, and shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide copies to the Investor of any written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers relating thereto.
