1.1           Sale and Purchase of Stock.  In consideration for the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 1.2 of this Agreement) and the other covenants of the Buyer in this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to convey to the Buyer all of the Wytec International Stock at the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 of this Agreement).

  

  

  

 

 

1.2           Purchase Price.  As consideration for the sale by Seller of the shares of Wytec International Stock to the Buyer, the Buyer will pay to Seller the following (the “Purchase Price”): (i) a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of Buyer’s common stock equal to up to 45% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Buyer’s common stock on a fully diluted basis, to be determined in accordance with Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement on the date the Valuation Report (as that term is defined in Section 2.2 of this Agreement) is delivered to Buyer (the “Report Date”) and based on the valuation of the Intellectual Property in the Valuation Report, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share exercisable on a cashless basis for three (3) business days after the date of the issuance of the Seller Warrant, but no later than June 5, 2012 (the “Seller Warrant”), subject to the limitations in Section 1.2(c) of this Agreement, and (ii) up to $1,000,000 in cash for up to $1,000,000 worth of MediaG3, Inc. common stock (the “MediaG3 Shares”), with the precise amount of the Buyer’s investment obligation to be determined in accordance with Section 1.2(b) of this Agreement based on the valuation of the Intellectual Property in the Valuation Report (the “Investment Commitment”), with the price per share to be calculated as 90% of the average closing last sale price of MediaG3, Inc.’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or primary public securities market on which the stock of Media3G, Inc. is then traded (determined by the volume of trading) if not the OTC bulletin Board)  on the five trading  days immediately prior to the Report Date,  payable by the Buyer in four quarterly installments with the first investment due on the last day of the quarter following the calendar quarter during which the Valuation Report is delivered to Buyer (the appropriate number of Media3G shares will be issued to the Buyer as it makes its investments pursuant to its Investment Commitment), subject in both cases to the conditions and adjustments described in Section 1.2(b) of this Agreement, and (iii) the Buyer’s covenants in Section 2 of this Agreement.  The shares underlying the Seller Warrant and the MediaG3 Shares will bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THAT ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.”

(a)           Determination of Number of Shares Underlying Seller Warrant.  The number of shares of Buyer’s common stock underlying the Seller Warrant will be determined on the Report Date as follows (in accordance with the Form of Seller Warrant attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A):  if the value of the Intellectual Property is determined to be equal to or more than $10,000,000, the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock underlying the Seller Warrant will be equal to 45% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Buyer’s common stock on the Report Date, subject to the limitations in Section 1.2(c) of this Agreement.  If the value of the Intellectual Property is determined to be less than $10,000,000, the number of shares of Buyer’s common stock underlying the Seller Warrant will be adjusted downward on a pro rata basis, subject to the limitations in Section 1.2(c) of this Agreement.

(b)           Determination of the Buyer’s Investment Commitment Amount  The number of MediaG3 Shares which the Buyer will be obligated to purchase under this Agreement will be determined on the Report Date as follows:  if the value of the Intellectual Property is determined to be equal to or more than $10,000,000, the number of MediaG3 Shares which Buyer will be obligated to purchase will be determined by dividing $1,000,000 by 90% of the average closing last sale price of MediaG3, Inc’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (or its then primary public securities trading market, if not the OTC Bulletin Board) on the five trading days immediately prior to the Report Date.  If the value of the Patents is determined to be less than $10,000,000, the Buyer’s Investment Commitment will be adjusted downward on a pro rata basis.  To the extent that the Buyer invests directly in MediaG3, Inc.’s common stock in a private placement or by conversion of outstanding debt owed by MediaG3, Inc. to Buyer prior to the Report Date, these investments will be credited against and will reduce Buyer’s Investment Commitment dollar for dollar.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the number of Seller Warrants issued to the Seller under this Agreement will not exceed an amount that would, upon a cashless exercise of them, result in the value of the Buyer’s stock (determined for this purpose on the date of issuance of the Seller Warrant and based on the closing last sale price of Buyer’s common stock quoted on such date on its primary securities public trading market), issued upon the exercise of the Seller Warrant exceeding the value of the Intellectual Property reported in the Valuation Report, up to $10,000,000 of value, and if such reported value exceeds $10,000,000, then the greater of (i) $10,000,000, or (ii) 50% of the value of the Intellectual Property reported in the Valuation Report.

2.           Covenants.

2.1           Appointment of New Director.  Upon the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 of this Agreement), the current director of Wytec International, Val Westergard, will appoint William Gray and Larry Griffin as new directors on Wytec International’s Board of Directors, which will then appoint William Gray as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Wytec International to replace Val Westergard, who will remain as a director, be appointed as the Chief Technical Officer of Wytec International, and resign from all other officer positions that he holds with Wytec International.

2.2           Valuation Report.  Buyer covenants to engage a certified appraiser at Buyer’s sole expense to perform a market appraisal of the Intellectual Property in order to determine the value of the Intellectual Property and to provide a report of its findings (the “Valuation Report”) to the Buyer on or before May 31, 2012.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller must provide Buyer with documentation defining the software assets included in the Intellectual Property in a form acceptable to the certified appraiser on or before December 31, 2011 (the “Software Documents”).  If Seller fails to provide the Software Documents to Buyer on or before December 31, 2011, then the parties agree that the Patents alone will be used to determine the value of the Intellectual Property in the Valuation Report.  In the event Buyer does not receive the Valuation Report on or before May 31, 2012, Seller will have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to repurchase the Wytec International Stock from Buyer for one dollar.

Seller or Wytec International will give prompt written notice to Buyer of any development occurring after the date of this Agreement, or any item about which Wytec International did not have actual knowledge on the date of this Agreement, which causes or reasonably could be expected to cause a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Agreement.  Buyer will give prompt written notice to Seller of any development occurring after the date of this Agreement, or any item about which Buyer did not have actual knowledge on the date of this Agreement, which causes or reasonably could be expected to cause a breach of any of the representations and warranties in Section 5 of this Agreement.

Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and maintain Wytec International’s payroll records for each fiscal year until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any waivers or extensions thereof) for tax purposes relating to such year, and all other records relating to the Wytec International Business for at least three years after the Closing Date

9.1           Indemnification by Seller.  Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its subsidiaries against any and all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities and damages, including interest, penalties and attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Buyer or its subsidiaries arising, resulting from, or relating to any misrepresentation of a material fact or omission to disclose a material fact made by Seller or Wytec International in this Agreement, in any exhibits to this Agreement or in any other document furnished or to be furnished by Seller or Wytec International under this Agreement, or any breach of, or failure by Wytec International or Seller to perform, any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any exhibit or other document furnished or to be furnished by Wytec International or Seller under this Agreement.

9.2           Indemnification by Buyer.

9.3           Procedure for Indemnification Claims.

(a)           Whenever any parties become aware that a claim (an “Underlying Claim”) has arisen entitling them to seek indemnification under this Section 9 of the Agreement, such parties (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall promptly send a notice (“Notice”) to the parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) of the right to indemnification (the “Indemnity Claim”); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties will relieve the Indemnifying Parties from liability under this Agreement with respect to such Indemnity Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to notify the Indemnifying Parties results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Parties of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Parties with respect to the Underlying Claim.  Any Notice pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall set forth in reasonable detail, to the extent then available, the basis for such Indemnity Claim and an estimate of the amount of damages arising therefrom.

(b)           If an Indemnity Claim does not result from or arise in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties will have thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to issue a written response to the Indemnified Parties, indicating the Indemnifying Parties’ intention to either (i) contest the Indemnity Claim or (ii) accept the Indemnity Claim as valid.  The Indemnifying Parties’ failure to provide such a written response within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the Indemnity Claim as valid.  In the event that an Indemnity Claim is accepted as valid, the Indemnifying Parties shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter, pay the damages incurred by the Indemnified Parties in respect of the Underlying Claim in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts specified by the Indemnified Parties.  To the extent appropriate, payments for indemnifiable damages made pursuant to Section 9 of the Agreement will be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(c)           In the event an Indemnity Claim results from or arises in connection with any Underlying Claim or legal proceedings by a third party, the Indemnifying Parties shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following receipt of the Notice to send a Notice to the Indemnified Parties of their election to, at their sole cost and expense, assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim or legal proceeding; provided that such Notice of election shall contain a confirmation by the Indemnifying Parties of their obligation to hold harmless the Indemnified Parties with respect to damages arising from such Underlying Claim.  The failure by the Indemnifying Parties to elect to assume the defense of any such Underlying Claim within such fifteen (15) day period shall entitle the Indemnified Parties to undertake control of the defense of the Underlying Claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Parties in such manner as the Indemnified Parties may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the Underlying Claim.  However, the parties controlling the defense of the Underlying Claim shall not settle or compromise such Underlying Claim without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The non-controlling parties shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with their own counsel and at their own expense.

(d)           The Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties will cooperate reasonably, fully and in good faith with each other, at the sole expense of the Indemnifying Parties, in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any Underlying Claim including, without limitation, by making available to the other parties all pertinent information and witnesses within their reasonable control.

  

11

  

10.           Injunctive Relief.

10.1           Damages Inadequate.  Each party acknowledges that it would be impossible to measure in money the damages to the other party if there is a failure to comply with any covenants and provisions of this Agreement, and agrees that in the event of any breach of any covenant or provision, the other party to this Agreement will not have an adequate remedy at law.

10.2           Injunctive Relief.  It is therefore agreed that the other party to this Agreement who is entitled to the benefit of the covenants and provisions of this Agreement which have been breached, in addition to any other rights or remedies which they may have, will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief to enforce such covenants and provisions, and that in the event that any such action or proceeding is brought in equity to enforce them, the defaulting or breaching party will not urge a defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.  No party to this Agreement who seeks an equitable remedy hereunder shall be required to post a surety bond as a condition of or in connection with the assertion of such remedy.

11.           Further Assurances.

Following the Closing, Wytec International and Seller shall furnish to Buyer such instruments and other documents as Buyer may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing the transactions contemplated hereby.

12.           Fees and Expenses.

Buyer will pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, including but not limited to the costs associated with obtaining the Valuation Report, the Seller, and Wytec International in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and in carrying out the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of their counsel and accountants).

13.           Waivers.

If any party at any time waives any rights hereunder resulting from any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement.  Resort to any remedies referred to herein will not be construed as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which such party is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.

14.           Successors and Assigns.

Each covenant and representation of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties, their personal representatives, assigns and other successors in interest.

15.           Entire and Sole Agreement.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all other agreements, representations, warranties, statements, promises and undertakings, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement signed by the parties against whom the amendment is sought to be enforced.

16.           Attorneys Fees and Costs.

In the event that any party must resort to legal action in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or to defend such suit, or to seek any legal or equitable remedies hereunder, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive reimbursement from the non-prevailing party for all attorneys' fees and all other costs incurred in commencing or defending such suit or action, including but not limited to post judgment fees and costs.

  

12

  

17.           Governing Law and Arbitration.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of Texas without giving effect to applicable conflict of laws provisions.  With respect to any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each party agrees that any disputes that are not resolved by the parties will be submitted to binding arbitration with the American Arbitration Association located in San Antonio County, Texas; provided, that any party may seek equitable remedies under this Agreement without referring them to binding arbitration.

18.           Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts will constitute but one and the same instrument.

19.           Assignment.

Except in the case of an affiliate of the Buyer, this Agreement may not be assignable by any party without prior written consent of the other parties.

20.           Remedies.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the remedies set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exclusive, and each party will have all other remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.  The election of any one or more remedies will not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue other available remedies.

21.           Section Headings.

The section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used in construing it.

22.           Severability.

In the event that any provision or any part of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision or part of this Agreement.

23.           Notices.

Each notice or other communication hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given on the earlier of (i) the date on which such notice or other communication is actually received by the intended recipient thereof, or (ii) the date five (5) days after the date such notice or other communication is mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) to the intended recipient at the following address (or at such other address as the intended recipient will have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

Exhibit 10.1

 

 

LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into on October 31, 2011 by and between DAKOTA CAPITAL FUND, LLC, a South Dakota limited liability company (“Lender”), and ERF WIRELESS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Company”).

WHEREAS, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender has approved the extension of a line of credit loan in the maximum principal amount of $3,000,000.00 (the “Loan”) to Company to be used by Company as provided for in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Line of Credit

1.1.           Line of Credit.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lender may lend Company, from time to time until the termination hereof and subject to the limitations set forth below, such sums as Company may request.  Subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, advances under the Line of Credit (each, an “Advance”, and collectively, “Advances”) will be made to Company, from time to time during the period commencing on November 15, 2011, to, but not including, September 30, 2014 (the “Termination Date”), unless renewed by written agreement between Lender and Company. Any Advance shall be in an amount no less than $100,000. The Line of Credit shall be deemed to automatically terminate if Lender accelerates the Loan and the Note (as defined below) evidencing an Advance following an Event of Default, or if the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under Article VI hereof) causes the Note to become immediately due and payable.

1.2.           Purpose.  Company shall use the Advances for the purchase of equipment.

1.3.           Limitations on Advances.  No Advance shall exceed the amount actually spent by the Company for the purchase of equipment, and in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Note exceed at any time $3,000,000.00.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only a maximum principal of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) is available unless Lender has provided Company written notice of the amount of additional principal that will be available hereunder.

1.4.           The Note.  Each Advance shall be governed by the Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Note will have a maturity date of September 30, 2014.  The availability under the Line of Credit for Advances shall be reduced by the aggregate principal balance outstanding under the Note.  On the Closing Date (hereinafter defined) Company shall execute and deliver to Lender this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined below).  Lender is authorized to record in a manner satisfactory to Lender, appropriate notations evidencing the date and amount of each Advance and the date and amount of each payment, which recording shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information recorded; provided, however, that the failure to make such recordings shall not affect the obligations of Company under this Agreement, the Note or affect the validity of any Advance.

1.5.           Repayment.  The amounts advanced under the Note  shall be payable as follows:  (i) interest only shall be paid quarterly, in arrears commencing on March 31, 2012 and (ii) the principal balance together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be repaid based on a forty eight month amortization of the outstanding balance as of each quarter end plus 10% of positive operational cash flow for that individual quarter as determined by each publically filed Form 10Q or Form 10K of the Company, which shall be deemed a repayment of principal.

  

1

  

1.6.           Interest.  The principal balance of the Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to eighteen percent (18) per annum.  Interest shall be payable quarterly, commencing on March 31, 2012.  Accrued interest shall also be payable at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise.  Interest shall be calculated on the number of days outstanding based upon a year consisting of three hundred and sixty (360) days.  The principal balance of the Note shall bear interest after default or maturity at a variable per annum rate of twenty four percent (24%)

1.7.           Requests for Advances.  Company shall make requests for Advances (a “Request for Advance”) to Lender in writing.  Each Request for Advance shall specify the amount of such Advance, the requested funding date for such Advance, the list of assets to be purchased and such other information as Lender may require.  Company shall submit to Lender a Request for Advance not less than five days prior to the requested funding date for such Advance. Lender will not be obligated to fund such Advance until Company has provided acceptable and sufficient information on the equipment to be purchased with the Advance.

Lender will credit the proceeds of any Advances to Company’s deposit account at Lender or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by Company and Lender.

1.8.           Conditions to Advances.  Each Request for Advance shall be deemed to constitute a representation by Company at the time of the request that no Event of Default (as defined in Article VI hereof) exists or is imminent and that the representations and warranties of Company contained in this Agreement are true in all material respects on or as of the date of such Request for Advance.

ARTICLE II

Collateral

Payment of Company’s obligations hereunder, under the Note and under the Loan Documents shall be secured and/or supported by the following (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral”) until all such obligations are paid in full:

2.1.           Collateral.   The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement means the following described property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and wherever located, in which Grantor is giving to Lender a security interest for the obligations under the Note, which are all the assets as identified in Exhibit A attached hereto.

2.2.           Other Documents.  Company agrees to furnish such information and to execute such other documents or undertake any other acts as may be reasonably necessary to attach, perfect and maintain the security interests and assignments contemplated by this Agreement, or as otherwise reasonably requested by Lender from time to time.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

Company represents and warrants to Lender (which representations and warranties will survive the delivery of the Note and shall continue so long as any sums remain outstanding under the Loan, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) as follows:

3.1.           Standing.  Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada.  Company is duly qualified and is in good standing in every other jurisdiction where such qualification and good standing is required in order to conduct business in such jurisdiction.  Company has the power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business.

3.2.           Authority.  Company has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the same constitute the binding and enforceable obligations of Company in accordance with their terms.  No consent or approval of the officers, members or managers of Company or any other person, entity, creditor, governmental department, agency or body are required as a condition to the effectiveness and validity of the Loan Documents. The execution of and performance by Company of its obligations under the Loan Documents has been duly authorized by all appropriate and required corporate proceedings and action and will not violate or contravene any provisions of law, Company’s Articles of Incorporation, By-laws or any indenture, agreement, lease, contract or other instrument governing or binding on Company.

3.3.           Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, arbitration proceedings or other proceedings of any nature pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened, or any basis therefor, against or affecting Company or the Collateral at law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental department or agency, which may result in any material adverse change in the properties, assets, business or condition, financial or otherwise, of Company or the ability of Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

3.4.           Conflicting Agreements.  There are no provisions of any existing note, loan agreement, mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement binding on Company or affecting its property which would conflict with or in any way prevent the execution, delivery, or carrying out of the terms of this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents.  Company is not in default in any respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any obligation, covenant or condition contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party.

3.5.           Title and Liens.  Company has good, valid and marketable title of record to its real and personal property, all of which is owned free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, attachments and other security interests and encumbrances of any nature, except as provided in this Agreement or disclosed on Schedule 5.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

3.6.           Taxes.  Company has filed all federal, state and other tax and similar returns and has paid or provided for the payment of all taxes and assessments due thereunder through the date of this Agreement, including without limitation, all withholding, FICA and franchise taxes.

3.7.           Financial Statements.  The financial information Company is required to provide to Lender pursuant to Section 4.2 below shall be complete and correct and fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Company as of such date and the results of its operations for the period covered by such statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied.  Company has no material liabilities, direct or contingent, except those disclosed to Lender in writing.  No information, exhibit or report furnished by Company to Lender in connection with the Loan, this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall contain any material misstatement of fact or omits to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statement contained therein incomplete or not materially misleading.

  

3

  

3.8.           Other.  All statements by Company contained in any certificate, statement, document or other instrument or writing delivered by or on behalf of Company at any time pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall constitute representations and warranties made by Company hereunder.  No representation or warranty of Company contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no statement contained in any certificate, schedule, list, financial statement or other instrument furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Company contains, or will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits, or will omit, to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.  To the best of Company’s knowledge, all information material to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement has been expressly disclosed to Lender in writing.

3.9.           Regulation U.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or to reduce or retire any indebtedness incurred for any such purpose.  If requested by Lender, Company will furnish to Lender a statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U to the foregoing effect.

3.10                      ERISA.  Each “employee benefit plan”, “employee pension benefit plan”, “defined benefit plan” or “multi-employer benefit plan” (as such terms are defined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) which Company has established, maintained or to which it is required to contribute (collectively, the “Plans”) is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (as amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time, “ERISA”), and the Internal Revenue Code and the rules and regulations thereunder as well as the Plan’s terms and conditions.  There have been no “prohibited transactions” and no “reportable event” (as such terms are defined in ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan.  Company has no “multi-employer benefit plan”.  Company has not incurred any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in connection with a Plan, other than for premiums due in the ordinary course.

ARTICLE IV

4.1.           Books and Records; Inspections.  Maintain proper books and records, and account for financial transactions, applied in a manner consistent with those used in the preparation of the financial statements referenced in Section 4.2 below, and permit Lender’s officers and/or its authorized representatives or accountants to visit and inspect Company’s properties, examine its books and records, and discuss its accounts and business with its respective officers, accountants and auditors, all at reasonable times upon reasonable notice.

4.2.           Financial Reporting.  Deliver to Lender financial information in such form and detail and at such times as are reasonable and satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation:

  

4

(b)           Company’s federal income tax returns with all schedules attached within ten (10) days after the filing deadline for such returns;

All financial statements required hereunder shall be complete and correct in all respects and shall be prepared in reasonable detail in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.
