The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and the Company is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which qualification is required, except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) on the Company.

Each Subsidiary is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which qualification is required, except where failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), assets, properties, business, prospects or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole on a consolidated basis, or materially and adversely impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.2 hereto, the Company had authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock as set forth in Schedule 4.2 as of the date set forth therein.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.2 hereto, and except for customary adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations of shares, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders) and the issuance and sale of Common Stock or other securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will not give rise to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal, co-sale rights or any other similar rights on behalf of any person or result in the triggering of any anti-dilution or other similar rights. With respect to each Subsidiary, (i) the Company owns 100% of the Subsidiary’s capital stock (except for directors’ qualifying shares), (ii) all the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, were not issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities, and (iii) there are no outstanding options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or obligations convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell, shares of the Subsidiary’s capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible securities or obligations.

The  Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered and paid for in the manner set forth in this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

The Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. The making and performance of the Agreements by the Company and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Company and will not result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company pursuant to the terms or provisions of, or will not conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or its properties, or any Subsidiary or such Subsidiary’s properties, may be bound or affected and in each case which would have a Material Adverse Effect or, to the Company’s knowledge (which, as used herein, in each instance shall mean the actual knowledge of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer), any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for compliance with the Blue Sky laws and federal securities laws applicable to the offering of the Shares. Upon their execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by the respective Purchasers, the Agreements will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Said Section 1542 of the California Civil Code reads as follows:

 

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

8.           Recipient understands and agrees that, by signing this Agreement, Recipient is waiving any and all rights or claims that Recipient may have against the Releasees (including, but not limited to, any rights or claims arising under the ADEA) which have arisen on or before the date of execution of this Agreement.  Recipient further understands and agrees that:

 

(i)  In return for entering into this Agreement, Recipient will receive consideration beyond that to which Recipient was already entitled to receive before entering into this Agreement;

 

(ii)  Recipient is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement, and Recipient acknowledges that whether or not Recipient has chosen to do so is Recipient's voluntary and fully informed decision;

 

(iii)  Recipient is hereby informed that Recipient has twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement;

 

(iv)  Recipient is hereby informed that Recipient has seven (7) days following the date of signing of this Agreement in which to revoke this Agreement.  Recipient can revoke the Agreement by sending notice of my revocation to the attention of Tom Banks, Chief Financial Officer, for Lenco Mobile Inc. at 345 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.  If Recipient does not send such written notice of revocation via U. S. Mail postmarked within 7 days, this Agreement shall become effective and irrevocable at 12:01 a.m. on the eighth (8th) day after Recipient signs it ("Effective
Date");

 

(v)  If Recipient does not consider this Agreement for the full 21-day period, but instead signs and returns it earlier, Recipient has done so voluntarily with the full understanding that Recipient waived Recipient's right to the full 21-day period.

 

9.           This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  In the event this Agreement or any benefit paid to Recipient hereunder is deemed to be subject to section 409A of the of the Code (“Code Section 409A”), Recipient consents to the Company adopting such conforming amendments as the Company deems necessary, in good faith and in its reasonable discretion, to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A.  Each payment made pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be considered a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.  While it is intended that all payments and benefits provided under this Agreement to Recipient will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A, the Company makes no representation or covenant to ensure that the payments under this Agreement are exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A.  The Company will have no liability to Recipient or any other party if a payment or benefit under this Agreement is challenged by any taxing authority or is ultimately determined not to be exempt or compliant.  The Recipient further understands and agrees that the Recipient will be entirely responsible for any and all taxes on any benefits payable to the Recipient as a result of this Agreement.  In addition, if upon Recipient’s
“separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, he is then a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A), then solely to the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A and avoid the imposition of taxes under Code Section 409A, the Company shall defer payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such “separation from service” under this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the Recipient’s “separation from service,” or (ii) ten (10) days after the Company receives written notification of the Recipient’s death.  Any such delayed payments shall be made without interest.

11.           Successor, Assignment.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.  This Agreement is personal between the parties and except as expressly contemplated herein, neither may assign rights nor attempt to delegate duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the other.

 

12.           Effect of Waiver.  The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach thereof, whether or not of a like kind or nature.

 

13.           Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by cable, telecopy, facsimile, telegram or telex or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 13):
