2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.  The Company represents and warrants to each Buyer, as of the date of this Agreement, the Initial Closing Date and any Final Closing Date, that:


 


(a) Organization and Qualification.  Each of the Company and its “Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns at least a majority of the capital stock or other equity or similar interest) are entities duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 2(b)) or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2(a), the Company has no Subsidiaries and there are no other entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or other equity or similar interests.

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, the Series E Stockholders’ Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and each of the other agreements to be entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.  The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Units and the Shares and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares and upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof, has been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.


 


(c) Issuance of Securities.  Except as set forth on Schedule 2(c), the Securities are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and free from all Liens with respect to the issue thereof and the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be fully paid and nonassessable with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Series E-2 Preferred Stock.  As of the Exercise Date, the Company shall have duly authorized and reserved for issuance a number of shares of Common Stock which equals the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.  The Company shall, for so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.  The Company shall, so long as any of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock. Upon exercise in accordance with the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issued with respect thereto will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.  Upon conversion of the Series E-2 Preferred Stock in accordance therewith, the shares of Common Stock issued with respect thereto will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.  Assuming the accuracy and completeness of each of the representations made by each Buyer in Section 3, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

(d) No Conflicts.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Self-Regulatory Organization” means the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (together with any successor entity, “FINRA”) and any other commission, board, agency or body that is not a Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 2(x)(i)) but is charged with the supervision or regulation of the brokers and dealers that are its members.

(f) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

(g) No Integrated Offering.  None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, or any Person acting on 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 require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules, regulations or requirements that permit trading of the Common Stock on the OTCBB that would reasonably lead to the suspension of the trading of the Common Stock on the OTCBB.  None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on its or their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.

(a) Validity; Enforcement.  The Transaction Documents to which such Buyer is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.

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


 


(e) Information.  Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities to be acquired by such Buyer hereunder which have been requested by such Buyer.  Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.  Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.  Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder.


 


(f) Transfer or Resale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities to be acquired by such Buyer hereunder may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by such Securities and such pledge of such Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of such Securities hereunder, and if such Buyer effects a pledge of such Securities it shall not 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, including, without limitation, this Section 3(f).

The Company, on or before the applicable Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to qualify the Securities for sale to each Buyer pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the applicable Closing Date.  The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the applicable Closing Date.

For so long as any Major Buyer owns any Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.


 


(c) Use of Proceeds.  The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Securities substantially consistent with the proposed uses set forth on Schedule 4(c) attached hereto, provided, however, the Company may deviate from such proposed uses with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, including the consent of the Oak Designee, GFI Designee, Series E Designee or at least one DBIC Designee (if any such Oak Designee, GFI Designee, Series E Designee or DBIC Designee is then a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, as such terms are defined in the Series E Stockholders’ Agreement; provided, that, the consent of any such Oak Designee, GFI Designee, Series E Designee or DBIC Designee, as the case may be, shall be deemed not to have been obtained for purposes of the foregoing approval requirement if the stockholder who designated such Designee or an Affiliate of such stockholder would obtain, by virtue of or resulting from the action so approved, any material benefit that is disproportionate relative to the benefit obtained by the stockholders who designated all such other designees (or their Affiliates) as a result of such action).


 


(d) Transfer Restrictions.


 


(i) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities by any Buyer other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an affiliate of such Buyer, 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.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.


 




  





15











  






 


(ii) Each Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4(d), of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:


 


[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD 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.


 


(e) Removal of Legend. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4(d) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the 1933 Act, or (ii) subject to the legal opinion requirement of the immediately succeeding sentence, if such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4(e), it will, no later than three trading days following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing the Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend along with a reasonably acceptable legal opinion and broker representation letter, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Buyer a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Company’s transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section.


 


(f) Compliance with 1933 Act.  Each Buyer agrees that such Buyer will only sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in Section 4(e) is predicated upon the Company's reliance upon this understanding.


 


(g) Public Announcements.  The Company and each Buyer as of the time of a contemplated press release or other public statement shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any such press release or public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable law or any applicable stock exchange.


 


(h) Closing Documents.  On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Initial Closing Date or any Final Closing Date, as applicable, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Buyer who participated in such Closing which took place on such Closing Date a complete closing set of the Transaction Documents, the Securities and any other document required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 5 or 6 hereof or otherwise.

Other than Warrants comprising a portion of the Units and except with respect to any Additional Closing and Final Closing, after the Initial Closing the Company shall not sell any warrants, convertible debt or other securities convertible into the Company’s Common Stock that include dilution protection provisions other than provisions relating to stock splits, reclassifications, stock dividends and other like kind events.


 


(k) Rights Offering.  The Buyers acknowledge that certain holders of the Company’s capital stock hold preemptive rights under Section 4 of the Prior Agreement (as defined in, and as amended and restated by, the Series E Stockholders’ Agreement).  The Buyers acknowledge that, in order to provide an opportunity for such holders to exercise such preemptive rights, the Company will be conducting a rights offering after each Closing in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units hereunder pursuant to which, among other things, the Company may sell to each such holder up to his, her or its Pro Rata Portion (as defined in the Prior Agreement) (collectively, the “Rights Offering”). The Company shall not issue more Units pursuant to the Rights Offering than is required by the terms of the Prior Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Buyers hereby consent to the Rights Offering. For avoidance of doubt, Oak and GFI acknowledge and agree that they are not entitled to participate in the Rights Offering because they are purchasing Units hereunder.


 


(l) Limitations on Amendments. The Company shall not amend any of the Barry Agreements, the O’Krepkie Letter, the Radnor Engagement Letter Amendment, the Radnor Revenue Sharing Agreement Amendment or the Financial Advisory Agreement Termination and Release without the prior written consent of each Buyer.

7. MISCELLANEOUS.


 


(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State 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, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, 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, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  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 to such party at the address for such 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 manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


(b) Other Investors; Competitors.  Except with respect to any Additional Closing, no competitor of any Major Buyer, as reasonably determined by such Major Buyer in its sole discretion (a “Buyer Competitor”), shall be permitted to purchase Units in the Series D/E Financing after the date hereof without the prior written consent of such Major Buyer.


 


(c) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature or a signature transmitted by email shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or emailed signature.


 


(d) Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.


 




  





21











  






 


(e) Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).


 


(f) Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement, the Certificate of Designation, and all other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements among the Buyers, the Company, their respective affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and each Major Buyer and any of their respective successors or assigns.  No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service prior to such courier’s deadline for next Business Day delivery to the recipient (all delivery fees and charges prepaid), in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(h) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Buyer. A Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, that such Buyer may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of such Buyer, without the consent of the Company or any other Buyer, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights and obligations; provided that as a condition to any such assignment the assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Buyer hereunder and such assignor shall not be relieved of liability for the performance of its obligations hereunder.


 


(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

(k) Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.  The representations and warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and each Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive each Closing.  The Company shall not have any liability pursuant to Section 7(m)(i) unless a claim is made hereunder prior to the eighteen month anniversary of the date of this Agreement, in which case such representation and warranty or covenant, as the case may be, shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.


 


(l) 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.

(m) Indemnification.


 


(i) Subject to Section 7(k) and the other provisions of this Section 7(m), in consideration of the execution and delivery by each Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which such Buyer is a party and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby (but not any other Transaction Document), (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Series E Stockholders’ Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby (but not any other Transaction Document), or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby (but not any other Transaction Document), (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities or concurrently with the Initial Closing or any Final Closing, (iii) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) the exchange of Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock for Series E Preferred Stock and Series E-1 Preferred Stock, respectively, as contemplated in the Exchange Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) the maximum aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities that may be recovered from the Company by an Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7(m) shall be equal to the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Buyers; and (ii) the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitees for any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7(m) unless and until the aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities that may be recovered from the Company equals or exceeds $100,000 (the “Basket Amount”), in which case the Company shall be liable only for the Indemnified Liabilities pursuant to this Section 7(m) in excess of the Basket Amount.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.


 


(ii) The Basket Amount, maximum liability and any Indemnified Liabilities pursuant to this Section 7(m) shall be calculated net of (A) payments actually recovered as of the date of calculation by an Indemnitee under any insurance policy with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities (net of collection costs, increases in premiums and retro-premiums) and (B) any actual recovery as of the date of calculation by the Indemnitee from any other Person with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities (net of collection costs); provided, however, that no Indemnitee shall have any obligation to mitigate its losses with respect to any Indemnified Liability.


 




  





24











  






 


(iii) In the event the conclusion, settlement or determination of any action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or dispute between the Company and Duncan-Williams, Inc. related to the matters described on Schedule 2(t) results in the Company issuing shares of capital stock to Duncan-Williams, Inc. or any of its Affiliates, the Company shall issue (and take such steps as are necessary in order to issue) to each Buyer such number of shares of capital stock and rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the same type and with the same terms as are then held by such Buyer so that such Buyer’s fully-diluted ownership percentage as of the time immediately prior to the issuance to Duncan Williams, Inc. (the “Measure Time”) is not decreased by such issuance; provided that the relative amount of shares of capital stock and rights to acquire shares of capital stock that are issued to such Buyer as a result of the foregoing will be in the same relative amounts as each class or series of capital stock and each right to purchase shares of capital stock held by such Buyer as of the Measure Time.  For avoidance of doubt, (A) if a Buyer does not own either shares of capital stock or rights to purchase shares of capital stock as of the Measure Time, then none of such securities would be issued pursuant to the foregoing provision, and (B) if, as of the Measure Time, a Buyer holds rights to purchase capital stock with different terms, then each such right shall be considered a different right to purchase capital stock and the rights to be issued pursuant to this provision shall be issued in the same relative amounts as such rights held by such Buyer as of the Measure Time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will shares of capital stock or rights to purchase shares of capital stock be issued to a Buyer pursuant to the foregoing provisions to the extent any dilution to such Buyer is eliminated through other anti-dilution protection rights (including any reduction of the exercise price of any rights to purchase capital stock).


 


(iv) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that for purposes of this Section 7(m) in respect of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 (the “Company Warranties”), any and all “Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect,” “materiality” and similar exceptions and qualifiers and any similar thresholds set forth in such Company Warranties shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether any such Company Warranty has been breached and for purposes of determining the amount of Indemnified Liabilities resulting therefrom.


 


(n) No Strict Construction; Definition of Business Day.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.  As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (a) a Saturday or Sunday and (b) any day on which banks are required or permitted to be closed in New York, New York.


 


(o) Definition of Knowledge and Major Buyer.  “Knowledge,” including the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge,” shall mean the knowledge after reasonable investigation of the officers and senior employees of the Company.  “Major Buyer” means any Buyer whose aggregate purchase price for all Units at all Closings is at least $2,000,000 (and “Major Buyers” means all such Buyers).


 


(p) Disclosure Schedule Update.  At least three (3) Business Days prior to any Additional Closing and the Final Closing, the Company shall have the right to deliver to each Buyer a supplement to the Disclosure Schedule, if the Company becomes aware of facts or circumstances which would cause any of the representations and warranties made by the Company to be untrue or incorrect.  Such supplement to the Disclosure Schedule shall amend the original Disclosure Schedule to which it relates effective as of, and only with respect to, such Additional Closing or Final Closing.  The Company will provide each Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such supplement, except that no such comment may require the Company to remove from such supplement any factual statement necessary to cause a representation or warranty to be true and correct as of the Final Closing.


 




  





25











  






 


(q) Remedies.  Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law.  Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.  Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to a Buyer.  The Company therefore agrees that such Buyer 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.
