instrument or agreement under or subject to which any Indebtedness has been issued and no event has occurred under the provisions of any such instrument or agreement which with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both,
constitutes or would constitute an event of default thereunder. 
 
(q)    Material Contracts.    Each of the Material Contracts has been duly executed by the Company and creates a binding and enforceable obligation of the Company. The Company has
performed in all material respects the obligations required to be performed by it to date under each Material Contract and the Company nor, to the Company knowledge any other party to such Material Contract is in default in any material respect or
in arrears under the terms thereof, and no condition exists or event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default thereunder. Company is not aware of any intention by any party to terminate

and/or services rendered by Company. Except as has been adequately reserved for under GAAP, each of the accounts receivable is valid and enforceable and the Company is not aware of any such accounts receivable being in dispute. 
 
(s)    Solvency.    Effective upon the First Closing and the repayment of CDC Loans, and assuming that the Company receives a full $2 million in proceeds from Lender pursuant to the
Second Closing, the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to pay its debts (excluding any amounts owed to the Lender under any of the Transaction Documents) incurred in the ordinary course of its business as they originally become due
during the three- 

 

9 

month period beginning on the date hereof. The Company reasonably believes that the fair value of the Company’s total assets exceeds the
value of the Company’s liabilities.

auditors copies of all customer agreements from which the Company has recognized $200,000 or more of revenue within any one fiscal quarter since January 1, 2001.

Transaction Documents and none of the other certificates, statements or information furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby 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 therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

of the Lender.     The Lender represents and warrants to the Company upon the acquisition of the Notes as follows:

execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of
general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. 
 
(b)    Securities Law Compliance.    The Lender has been advised that the Notes have not

requirements is available. The Lender is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Notes or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. The Lender has not been formed solely for
the purpose of making this investment and is purchasing the Notes to be acquired by such Lender hereunder for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution
thereof. The Lender has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the
economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. Such Lender is an accredited lender as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

the Company has given the Lender access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and to such other information in its possession relating to the Company, as the Lender has requested, and has made its officers and representatives
available for interview by such Lender. 
 

10 

 
(d)    Going Concern.    The Lender acknowledges that it is fully aware that the Company has incurred and continues to incur significant losses from its operations and that these facts
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

warranties which address matters only as of a particular date (which shall remain true and correct as of such date), with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date of such Closing, except, in all such cases, for such breaches,
inaccuracies or omissions of such representations and warranties which have neither had nor reasonably would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such Closing, or would exist after giving effect to such Closing; provided, however that the Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive this condition to Closing; and provided further that
such waiver shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Event of Default for any other purpose.

(i)     Seizure.  Any

by Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections
