No later than two business days prior to the Closing, the Company will notify the Purchasers of the anticipated closing date and no later than one business day prior to Closing, each Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Common Stock being purchased by each such Purchaser to the Company, as Escrow Agent.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(b) No offer by such Purchaser to buy Common Stock will be accepted and no part of the Purchase Price will be delivered to the Company by the Escrow Agent until such Purchaser has accepted such offer by countersigning a copy of this Agreement, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to the Company sending (orally, in writing or by electronic mail) notice of its acceptance of such offer. An indication of interest will involve no obligation or commitment of any kind until the Purchaser has been delivered this Agreement accepted and countersigned by or on behalf of the Company.

 

(c) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Common Stock to be issued for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view toward, or for resale or transfer in connection with, the sale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act that would be in violation of the Securities Act or any securities or “blue sky” laws of any state of the United States or other applicable law, and has no contract, agreement, undertaking or arrangement, and no intention to enter into any contract, agreement, undertaking or arrangement to pledge such Common Stock or any part thereof (other than pledges to its own lenders).

(f) Neither such Purchaser, nor its affiliates or any person acting on its or any of their behalf has engaged, or will engage, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering of the Common Stock.

 

(g) Such Purchaser is not, to its knowledge, purchasing the Common Stock as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Common Stock published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(h) (i) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable agreement of such Purchaser except as enforceability may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to or affect creditor’s rights generally and (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) such Purchaser has all the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company.

 

The Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers as follows:

 

(a) The Common Stock. The Company has all necessary power and authority to issue and deliver the Common Stock; the Common Stock has been duly authorized, and, when duly issued and delivered to Purchasers, the Common Stock will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. None of the Common Stock will be issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company.

 

(b) No Applicable Registration or Other Similar Rights. There are no persons with registration or other similar rights to have any equity or debt securities of the Company or any affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D) registered for sale under a registration statement, except for rights (i) contained in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement or (ii) as have been duly waived.

 

(c) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, including the issuance and sale of the Common Stock (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by laws of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or adverse claim upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to any Existing Instrument or other third party and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any subsidiary. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and consummation of the Transactions. As used herein, a “Debt Repayment Triggering Event” means any event or condition that gives, or with the giving of notice or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

	 
	
4

	

 

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions will not (i) result in a violation of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries 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, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal U.S. and state and non-U.S. securities laws) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected.

 

(e) Consents. Other than (1) the filing of a Form D with respect to the Common Stock as required under Regulation D, (2) such filings required under applicable securities or Blue Sky laws of the states of the United States, and (3) such filings as may be required under any rule or regulation promulgated by any U.S. regulatory authority (all of the foregoing, the “Required Approvals”), the Company and its subsidiaries are not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for the Company to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to consummate the Transactions.

 

(f) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on its 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 Common Stock. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions or similar fees or payments to any person (other than for persons or entities engaged by or on behalf of each Purchaser or the holder of the Common Stock) relating to or arising out of the Transactions. The Company shall pay, and hold the Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable documented attorney’s fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. The Company has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Common Stock and the Transaction Documents.

 

(g) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, or any Person acting on its 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 Common Stock under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Common Stock to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act. None of the Company, its affiliates, or any Person acting on its behalf, will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of the offer, issuance or sale of any of the Common Stock under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Common Stock to be integrated with other offerings.

(h) No Directed Selling Efforts. None of the Company, its affiliates nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts (as that term is defined in Regulation S) with respect to the Common Stock and each of the Company, its affiliates and any person acting on its or their behalf has complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S.

 

(i) No Registration. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in Section 2 hereof and each Purchaser’s compliance with its agreements set forth in the Transaction Documents, it is not necessary in connection with the offer, issuance, sale and delivery of the Common Stock in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to register the offer or sale of any of the Common Stock under the Securities Act.

The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Common Stock required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.

 

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. The internal law of the state of Texas will govern and be used to construe this Agreement without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. No legal proceeding may be commenced, prosecuted or continued by any party hereto in any court other than the competent courts of the State of Texas located in Houston, Texas or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Company and each Purchaser hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto.

 

(d) Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Purchasers representing a majority of the Common Stock purchased or to be purchased, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(d) shall be binding on the Purchasers and all holders of the Common Stock purchased under this Agreement, as applicable. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party from whom such waiver is requested.

 

(e) 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.

(f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements among the parties hereto and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein 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, none of the parties hereto makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

(h) Counterparts; Facsimile Copies. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or electronic portable document format, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or electronic signature were the original thereof.

 

(i) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, unenforceable, illegal or void in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, unenforceability, illegality or voidness shall not affect the validly or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. In that case, the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining provisions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

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

 

(k) 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.
