they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended

For the purposes of this Agreement, “ Subsidiary ” shall mean any corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of the securities or other ownership interest having

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding preemptive, conversion or other rights, options, warrants or agreements granted or issued by or binding upon any Subsidiary for the purchase or acquisition of any shares of capital stock of any Subsidiary or any other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the rights to subscribe for any shares of such capital stock. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary or any convertible securities, rights, warrants or options of the type
described in the preceding sentence. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is party to, nor has any knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of any Subsidiary.

None of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s Intellectual Property Rights have expired or terminated, or are
expected to expire or terminate, within three years from the date of this Agreement.

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the most recent periodic reporting period 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 significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could reasonably be expected to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting

Such Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

(e)     Status of Purchasers. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer.

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

  

13

  

(i)      General. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirement of Federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities.

(j)      Independent Investment. Except as may be disclosed in any filings with the Commission by it under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such Purchaser has not agreed to act with any other Purchaser for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and such Purchaser is acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities.

(k)     Short Sales. Purchaser has not, during the last thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof, directly or indirectly, nor has any party acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, effected or agreed to effect any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16(a)-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to any security of the Company, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security of the Company or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from any security of the Company or otherwise sought to hedge its positioning of the Company’s securities.

Purchaser shall not, and shall cause any affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any short sale transactions in the securities of the Company during the period from the date hereof until such time as one (1) year from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in  Section 7.1 ). Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that the Commission currently takes the position that covering a short position established prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with shares included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance

The Company shall (a) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, (b) comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, and (c) not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other exchange or
market on which the Common Stock is trading or may be traded in the future. Subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

Section 3.3         Inspection Rights. In the event that the Purchaser no longer has a representative on the Company’s board of directors, the Company shall permit, during normal business hours and upon reasonable request and reasonable notice, each Purchaser or any employees, agents or representatives thereof, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, for purposes reasonably related to such Purchaser’s interests as a convertible debtholder, to examine and make reasonable copies of and extracts from the records and books of account of, and visit and inspect the properties, assets, operations and business of the Company and any Subsidiary, and
to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and any Subsidiary with any of its officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.  As a condition to such inspection, Purchasers shall keep such information confidential;  provided  that such information may be disclosed (i) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, (ii) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Agreement, (iii) to any governmental, judicial or regulatory authority requiring or requesting such information, and (iv) to its directors, officers, employees, agents, managers and general partners, consultants, accountants, financial advisers, legal counsel and other professional advisers.

 

Section 3.4        Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and cause each Subsidiary, whether such Subsidiary is in existence as of the date of this agreement or formed or acquired subsequent to the date of this agreement, to comply, with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.5        Keeping of Records and Books of Account.

Until all of the Securities are eligible for sale without limitations concerning the availability of current public information under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare
and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

Section 3.7        Reporting Requirements.

(a)     quarterly reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission;

(b)    annual reports filed with the Commission on Form 10-K as soon as practical after the document is filed with the Commission, and in any event within five (5) days after the document is filed with the Commission; and

(c)     copies of all notices and information, including without limitation notices and proxy statements in connection with any meetings, that are provided to holders of shares of Common Stock, contemporaneously with the delivery of such notices or information to such holders of Common Stock.

Section 3.8        Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Notes and/or Warrants. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any holders of the Notes or the Warrants to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Notes or Warrants, as the case may be.  The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Purchasers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Purchaser has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

Section 3.9        Other Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement would materially restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Transaction Document.

Section 3.10      Distributions. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.

Section 3.11      Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and Warrants hereunder shall be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, and not to redeem any Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock, to settle any outstanding litigation or to cause any increase in management’s compensation, direct or otherwise, in a manner other than in the ordinary course of business.  An estimated allocation of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder is set forth on  Schedule 3.11  hereto.

Section 3.12      Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

Section 3.13      Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon exercise of the Warrants in the form of  Exhibit D  attached hereto (the “ Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions ”). Prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive
legend specified in  Section 5.1  of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this  Section 3.13  will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of theWarrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Warrant Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then
be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this  Section 3.13  will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this  Section 3.13  will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this  Section 3.13 , that the Purchasers shall be entitled,
in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Section 3.14      Disposition of Assets. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except for (A) sales to customers in the ordinary course of business; (B) sales of assets not in excess of 25% of the Company’s total assets as shown on its balance sheet; or (C) with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the holders of the Notes and Warrants then outstanding.

Section 3.15      Reporting Status. So long as a Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Company shall not cease filing reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

Section 3.16      Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “ Press Release ”) as soon as practicable after the Closing but in no event later than four (4) business days after the Closing has been consummated. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “ Form 8-K ”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the form of Note, the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as
practicable following the Closing Date but in no event more than four (4) Trading Days following the Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and comment by counsel for the Purchasers. “ Trading Day ” means any day during which the OTC Bulletin Board (or other quotation venue or principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) shall be open for trading.

Section 3.17      Disclosure of Material Information. Except for any information disclosed to Robert Thomson, the Company represents, covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information (other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of
the Company.

Section 3.18      Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a  bona fide  margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;  provided
  that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of  Article V  hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchasers’ expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.

Section 3.19      Form S-1 Eligibility. The Company currently meets the “registrant eligibility” and transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-1 applicable to “resale” registrations on Form S-1 and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission in a timely manner.

Section 3.20      DTC. Not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall cause its Common Stock to be eligible for transfer with its transfer agent pursuant to the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program.

Section 3.21      Issuance of Variable Securities. The Company shall not issue any Options or Convertible Securities (each as defined in the Note) with an exercise price or a conversion price or a number of underlying shares that floats or resets or otherwise varies or is subject to adjustment based (directly or indirectly) on market prices of the Common Stock.

Section 3.22      Approval of Acquisitions.  So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not effect, or agree to effect, an acquisition or buy out of or with any entity (including without limitation the acquisition of a substantial portion of the outstanding securities or assets of another entity other than in the ordinary course of business), or a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations (or other entity or entities), or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the effectuation by the Company of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company is disposed of or conveyed,
without providing the holders of the Notes with ten (10) days’ notice of such transaction.

Section 3.23      Most Favored Nations. If the Company has, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, entered into, or shall in the future enter into, any agreement with any purchaser or holder of capital stock of the Company, by providing such purchaser or holder with any terms that are more favorable than the rights made available to the Purchasers pursuant any terms set out in the Transaction Documents in issue as of the date hereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchasers of such terms in writing and Purchasers shall have the right to elect in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice to elect to have such terms apply to such Transaction Documents.  This provision shall only apply to
an equity or convertible debt investment by one or more investors in excess of $3.0 million and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (A) one (1) year from the date of this Agreement or (B) at any time Purchasers own in the aggregate less than four (4%) percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis.

The Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective

Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares
(provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“ DWAC ”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

Section 6.1     General Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.

Section 6.2     Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “ indemnified party ”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification;  provided  that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this  Article VI  except to the extent that
the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the
indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action
or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this  Article VI  to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this  Article VI  shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII

Registration Rights

Section 7.1      Piggyback Registration Rights.  If at any time the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (a “ Registration Statement ”) relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, the Company shall send to each
holder of the Notes and Warrants written notice of such determination and, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, or within such shorter period of time as may be specified by the Company in such written notice as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations with respect to the timing of the filing of such Registration Statement, any such holder shall so request in writing (which request shall specify the Warrant Shares intended to be disposed of by the Purchasers, if any), the Company will cause the registration under the Securities Act of all the Warrant Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by the holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Warrant Shares so to be registered;  provided  that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to such holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Warrant Shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay fees and expenses in accordance with  Section 8.1  hereof), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Warrant Shares being registered pursuant to this  Section 7.1  for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of such Warrant
Shares such holder requests to be registered;  provided, however , that the Company shall not be required to register any Warrant Shares pursuant to this  Section 7.1  that are eligible for resale without limitations concerning the availability of current public information pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In the case of an underwritten public offering, if the managing underwriter(s) or underwriter(s) should reasonably object to the inclusion of the Warrant Shares in such Registration Statement, then if the Company after consultation with the managing underwriter should reasonably determine that the inclusion of the Warrant Shares would materially adversely affect the offering contemplated in such Registration Statement, and based on such determination recommends inclusion in such Registration Statement of fewer or none of the Warrant
Shares of the holders, then (x) the number of Warrant Shares of the holders included in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro-rata among such holders   (based upon the number of Warrant Shares requested to be included in the registration), if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of fewer Warrant Shares, or (y) none of the Warrant Shares of the Holders shall be included in such Registration Statement, if the Company after consultation with the underwriter(s) recommends the inclusion of none of such Warrant Shares;  provided, however , that if securities are being offered for the account of other persons or entities as well as the Company, such reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of Warrant Shares intended to be offered by the holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed
on such other persons or entities (other than the Company).

Section 7.2      Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Purchaser hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Purchaser to any Person who acquires all or a portion   of the Warrant Shares if: (i) the Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (A) the name and address
of such transferee or assignee, and (B) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless such securities are registered in a Registration Statement pursuant to  Section 7.1   (in which case the Company shall be obligated to amend such Registration Statement to reflect such transfer or assignment) or are otherwise exempt from registration, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this  Section 7.2 , the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been
made in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement. In addition, each Purchaser shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any other person with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.  The rights to assignment shall apply to the Purchasers (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

Section 7.3      Underwriter Status. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Company may not deem any Purchaser to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act within any Registration Statement nor file any such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

Attn: ____________________________

Re:  Juma Technology Corp.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March __, 2011, by and among Juma Technology Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “ Purchasers ”) pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers 10% bridge notes (the “ Notes ”) and warrants (the “ Warrants ”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “ Common Stock ”). This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time)  to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants (the “ Warrant Shares ”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Exercise Notice, as the case may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and Exhibit II, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Warrants being exercised, a copy of the Warrants (with the original Warrants delivered to the Company) being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such share certificates or the warrants in the case of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order
duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have previously received (x) written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Warrant Shares, as applicable, has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”), and no subsequent notice by the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness and (y) a copy of such registration statement, and if the Purchaser represents in writing that the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, then certificates representing the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, thereby and should not
be subject to any stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously received those items and representations listed above, then the certificates for the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ SECURITIES ACT ”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR RECEIPT BY THE COMPANY OF A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,  OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, UNDER AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

Exhibit D to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

 

  

  

  

 

and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates the Warrant Shares in the event a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares is subject to amendment for events then current.

A form of written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as Exhibit III.

Please be advised that the Purchasers are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into the Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, each Purchaser is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.

Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these instructions. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at ___________.

Re:  Juma Technology Corp.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are special counsel to Juma Technology Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of March __, 2011, by and among the Company, Nectar Services Corp. and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “ Purchasers ”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers 10% bridge notes (the “ Notes ”) and warrants (the “ Warrants ”)
to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, in certain circumstances, to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “ Registrable Securities ”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement, on ________________, 200_, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-________) (the “ Registration Statement ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC
”) relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities which names each of the present Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS ] on [ ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS ] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and accordingly, the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR

JUMA TECHNOLOGY CORP.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and, upon the payment of its franchise taxes,  in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, which the failure to so qualify could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

2.  Each of the Subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiaries”) set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) of the Note Purchase Agreement is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, duly incorporated or organized and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation or organization.

3.  The Issuers have the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and, as applicable, to issue the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Issuers, as applicable, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of any Issuer or its board of directors or stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and the Notes and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Issuers party thereto and each of the
Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

4. The Notes and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and, based on the facts and circumstance as they exist on the date of this opinion and the qualifications contained herein, when delivered upon  exercise or payment in full as provided in the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

5. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, do not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of such Issuer, as applicable, (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 material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which such Issuer is a party, and which agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation has
been disclosed in the Commission Documents, (iii) to our knowledge, create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of such Issuer under any agreement or any commitment to which such Issuer is a party or by which such Issuer is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound and, in each case, which agreement or commitment has been disclosed in the Commission Documents, or (iv) result in a violation of any federal, state, or local statute, rule, regulation (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) or any order, judgment, injunction or decree known to us applicable to such Issuer or by which any property or asset of such Issuer is bound or affected, except, in all of the foregoing cases (other than (i)) for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Exhibit E to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

 

  

  

  

 

6. Based on the representations of Purchaser contained in the Note Purchase Agreement and subject to compliance with the filing requirements under the applicable “blue sky” laws and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes, the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement other than as may be required under the Registration
Statement.

7. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, or proceeding pending or threatened against any Issuer which questions the validity of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, or proceeding pending or threatened against such Issuer or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against such Issuer or any officers or directors of any Issuer in their capacities as such.

 

8. Based upon the representations of the Purchaser, the offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants and, based on the facts and circumstances as they exist on the date of this opinion, the offer, issuance and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes, and the Warrants, as applicable, are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

9. No Issuer is, and as a result of and immediately upon the Closing no Issuer will be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
