Each Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk.  Each Buyer is in a position regarding the Company, which, based upon employment, family relationship or economic bargaining power, enabled and enables such Buyer to obtain information from the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment.

In the event that any Buyer has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and such Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason (except to the extent that such refusal or failure is based solely on applicable Law that would prevent the removal of such restrictive legends) to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that such Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to such Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by such Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by such Buyer, certificates, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

(iii) Authorized Agent of the Company.  The Company hereby irrevocably appoints each Buyer and each Buyer’s counsel and its representatives, each as the Company’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Company for the purposes of authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, consistent with this Section 7.4(j). The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any Buyer owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder.  In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and each Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Section 7.4(j) with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that each Buyer shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s irrevocable authority for each Buyer and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from each Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of each Buyer, in each case as specifically contemplated in this Section 7.4(j), without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Company.  In addition, if requested by any Buyer, the Company agrees to use its best good faith efforts to get an agreement executed by the Transfer Agent, reasonably acceptable to each Buyer, pursuant to which the Transfer Agent agrees and confirms that it will act in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.4(j).

(iv) Injunction and Specific Performance.  The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.4(j), each Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7.4(j) by the Company, each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies such Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.4(j).

7.5 Fees and Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay to each Buyer (or any designee or agent of the Buyers), upon demand, or to otherwise be responsible for the payment of, any and all costs, fees, charges and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for any Buyer, and of any experts and agents, which any Buyer may incur or which may otherwise be due and payable in connection with: (i) any documentary stamp taxes, intangibles taxes, recording fees, filing fees, or other similar taxes, fees or charges imposed by or due to any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents; (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of any Buyer under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or (iii) the failure by the Company to perform or observe any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.  All such costs and expenses, if not so immediately paid when due or upon demand thereof, shall bear interest from the date of outlay until paid, at the highest rate set forth in the New Notes, or if none is so stated, the highest rate allowed by law.  All of such costs and expenses shall be additional Obligations of the Company to Buyers secured under the Transaction Documents.  The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.6 Reservation of Shares. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the issuance of the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Share Reserve”). The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full exercise of the Warrants. If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take all required measures to implement an increase of the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within twenty (20) business days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

7.7 Warrants.  On the earlier to occur of: (i) the “Maturity Date” (as such term is defined in the New Notes); or (ii) the payment in full of all sums due and payable under the New Notes, whether through prepayment, at maturity, acceleration or otherwise, the Company shall issue to each Buyer, at each Buyer’s option: (A) five year warrants to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount then outstanding under such Buyer’s New Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder, divided by the per share purchase price of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents offered and sold in the Financing (the “Offering Price”), which warrants shall contain the terms set forth herein and in any other Transaction documents and otherwise be in a form customarily used for transactions similar to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Warrants”), and which Warrants shall be exercisable at the Offering Price and shall include cashless exercise provisions commencing eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance of the Warrants if there is not at that time an effective registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock exercisable upon exercise of the Warrants; or (B) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product arrived at by multiplying: (x) the principal amount then outstanding under such Buyer’s New Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder divided by the Offering Price; and (y) 0.33.

7.8 Board Representation.  Until the date on which: (A) each Buyer shall have sold all the Securities, including any Warrant Shares; and (B) none of the New Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Buyers, collectively, shall have the right to appoint two (2) designees to serve as members of the Company’s board of directors (such designees referred to as the “Buyer Board Members”), which Buyer Board Members shall also be designated as members of the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors.  The Buyers shall deliver a written notice to the Company with the names of the Persons selected to be the Buyer Board Members.  In this regard, the Company and its current officers and directors hereby agree to use its and their best efforts to cause a majority of its stockholders to enter into a voting agreement or other agreement pursuant to which such majority stockholders agree and consent to vote their respective shares for the purposes of electing such designees.  As between the Buyers, the Buyers agree that at least one of the Buyer Board Members shall always be selected and designated by Cornelis Wit, one of the Buyers, and the other Buyer Board Member shall be designated upon the affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers.

10.1 Company’s Obligation to Indemnify.  In consideration of the Buyers’ execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s and ComTel Sub’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company and ComTel Sub, jointly and severally, hereby agree to defend and indemnify each Buyer and each Buyer’s Affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and the Company and ComTel Sub do hereby agree to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless, from and against any and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and the Company and ComTel Sub hereby agree to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation and interest thereon from the time such amounts are due at the highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable Law, through all negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or ComTel Sub in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or Obligation of the Company or ComTel Sub contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (iii) any Claims brought or made against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, by any Person and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto or thereto, any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the New Notes, or the status of the Buyers of any of the Securities, as a buyer and holder of such Securities in the Company.

ARTICLE XI

MATTERS RELATING TO THE BUYERS

11.1 Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights.  Except as specifically set forth in Section 11.3 below, the obligations of each Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any one or more of the Transaction Documents.  The decision of each Buyer to purchase the Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by each such Buyer independently of any other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries, if any, which may have been made or given by any other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the Buyer in question, the “Buyer Representatives”).  No Buyer Representative shall have any liability to any other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions, if any.  Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents, except as set forth in Section 11.3 below.  Except as set forth in Section 11.3 below, each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose.  The Company and each of the Buyers acknowledge that, for reasons of administrative convenience: (i) the Transaction Documents have been prepared and/or negotiated by counsel for one of the Buyers, and that such counsel does not represent all of the Buyers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and each other Buyer has retained its own counsel (or had the opportunity to do so) with respect to such transactions; and (ii) the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer.  In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company and the Buyers acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

11.2 Equal Treatment of Buyers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Buyer to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents, unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the other Buyers parties to the Transaction Documents.

11.3 Collateral Agent.

 

(a) Appointment.  For purposes of facilitating the enforcement of Buyers’ rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, if, as and only to the extent there is a default or “Event of Default” (as such term may be used or defined in any of the Transaction Documents) by the Company under any of the Transaction Documents, each Buyer hereby: (i) agrees that Cornelis Wit, one of the Buyers, shall have the right to appoint a Person to serve as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Transaction Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), which appointment shall be made by Mr. Wit in writing and delivered to the Company and all other Buyers within thirty (30) days from the Closing; and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent to exercise all rights and privileges accruing to the Buyers (prorata in accordance with each Buyer’s relative percentage ownership of the aggregate amount of New Notes) by reason of the terms and provisions hereof and thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or the Transaction Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer, and the Collateral Agent shall exercise all rights and privileges accruing to the Buyers under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents according to Collateral

  

-24-

  

Agent’s discretion and the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. Collateral Agent shall not have any liability to any Buyer with respect to any action taken or omitted by Collateral Agent, its employees, agents, representatives or counsel, in connection with any of the Transaction Documents and the collateral thereunder, or for any error in judgment, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any Claims (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or the Transaction Documents. Collateral Agent does not assume, and shall not have, any responsibility or liability, express or implied, to any Buyer for the enforceability or collectability of any of the New Notes or any other Transaction Documents, the nature, location or value of any collateral securing the obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, the condition of the Company or ComTel Sub, financial or otherwise, or the likelihood or timing of realization on, any such collateral, or for the accuracy of any credit or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company and ComTel Sub, whether as part of due diligence prior to Closing, as part of the Company’s representations, warranties or disclosures in any Transaction Documents, or as part of any reporting requirements by the Company.

(b) Reliance By Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(c) Resignation and Replacement of Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to each of the Buyer. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment as provided below. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Buyers, upon the affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers, shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed (and accepted by such successor Collateral Agent) within said ten (10) business day period, the retiring Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent who shall serve until such time, if any, as the Buyers, by affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Buyers, appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above.

To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies hereunder.

18.  Appointment of Agent. The Secured Parties hereby agree that Cornelis Wit, one of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to appoint a Person to act as their agent (“Agent”) for purposes of exercising any and all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder (which appointment shall be made by Mr. Wit in writing and delivered to the Company and all other Buyers within thirty (30) days from the Closing). Reference is hereby made to the SPA for purposes of setting forth certain rights, terms, provisions and obligations of the Agent, all of which are incorporated herein by such reference.

 

19.  Miscellaneous.

(a)  No course of dealing between the Company and the Secured Parties, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(b)  All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

(c)  This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Secured Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.

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

(e)  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(f)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party (other than by merger). Any Secured Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Secured Party assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured Parties.”

(g)  Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

(h) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. The Company agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Broward County, Florida, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the rights of Secured Parties or the Agent to enforce this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Broward County, Florida 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 proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.

(i)  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, 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 signature were the original thereof.
