(b)           No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by Subscriber of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) conflict with nor constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, nor (ii) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to Subscriber (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Subscriber).  Subscriber is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents nor to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, Subscriber is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

(c)           Information on Company.   Subscriber has been furnished with or has had access at the EDGAR Website of the Commission to the Company's Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2012 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and the financial statements included therein for the year ended December 31, 2011, together with all subsequent filings made with the Commission available at the EDGAR website until five days before the Closing Date (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Reports”).

In any event, and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Subscriber may enter into lawful hedging transactions in the course of hedging the position they assume and the Subscriber may also enter into lawful short positions or other derivative transactions relating to the Securities, or interests in the Securities, and deliver the Securities, or interests in the Securities, to close out their short or other positions or otherwise settle other transactions, or loan or pledge the Securities, or interests in the Securities, to third parties who in turn may dispose of these Securities.

7.1.          Conversion of the Preferred Stock.

(a)           Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h).  If and when Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration, filed with the Commission is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable.  In the event that the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers all reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.

(b)           Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Preferred Stock, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Certificate of Designation) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.”  The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the "Delivery Date").  In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Conversion Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber.   A certificate representing the balance of the Preferred Stock not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original certificate representing the Preferred Stock to the Company.

 

8.           Intentionally Omitted.

9.           Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Subscribers as follows:

(a)           Stop Orders.  Subject to any  prior notice requirements described elsewhere herein, the Company will advise the Subscriber, within twenty-four hours after it receives notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Subscriber.

(b)           Market Regulations.  If required, the Company shall notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber and promptly provide copies thereof to the Subscriber.

(c)           Intentionally Omitted.

(d)           Reservation.   Prior to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscriber from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscriber to be able to convert the Preferred Stock (the “Required Reservation”).     If at any time the Preferred Stock is outstanding the Company has insufficient Common Stock reserved on behalf of the Subscriber in an amount less than 100% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock on every such date (the “Minimum Required Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum Required Reservation, or if there are insufficient authorized and available shares of Common Stock to do so, the Company will take all action necessary to increase its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its reservation requirements hereunder.  The Company agrees to provide notice to the Subscriber not later than three days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscriber.

(e)           Intentionally Omitted.

(f)           Taxes.  As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefore.

(g)           Intentionally Omitted.

(j)           Books and Records.  As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company will keep true records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(k)           Governmental Authorities.   As long as the Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company shall duly observe and conform in all material respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities relating to the conduct of its business or to its properties or assets.

(l)           Confidentiality.  The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or discussed to or with any person whomsoever, with the exception only of disclosure required by court order, and disclosure to the Parties’ respective attorneys, tax consultant(s) or accountant(s), and/or the duly designated taxing authorities of the government of the United States of America and/or the government of any state to which either of the Parties may owe any taxes.

The Company and Subscriber acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.  Subject to Section 11(d) hereof, the Company hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f)           Damages.   In the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages.

(g)           Maximum Payments.   Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.

(h)           Calendar Days.   All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated.  The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours.  Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City.  Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.

(i)           Captions: Certain Definitions.  The captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.  As used in this Agreement the term “person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(j)           Severability.  In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(k)           Successor Laws.  References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms.  A successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company for the sale of Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding period.
