3.7          Representations Regarding 3Power Shares.

 

(a)           Own Account.

The Sellers are not acquiring the 3Power Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting, or pursuant to any solicitation of a subscription by a person not previously known to the Sellers in connection with investment securities generally.

 

(c)           Registration of Securities.  In the event that the Purchaser shall register any securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Seller shall have the right to have such number of 3Power Shares included on such registration statement as shall be proportionate to their percentage of the total number of shares of 3Power Energy issued and outstanding as of such date.

The Seller is (1) experienced in making investments of the kind described in this Agreement and the related documents, (2) able, by reason of the business and financial experience of its officers (if an entity) and professional advisors (who are not affiliated with or compensated in any way by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or selling agents), to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement, and the related documents, and (3) able to afford the entire loss of its investment in the 3Power Shares.

In furtherance thereof, in addition to the other representations and warranties of the Seller made herein, each of the Sellers further represent and warrant to and agree with the Purchaser and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i)            The Seller realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Seller is acquiring the 3Power Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise.  The Seller does not have any such intention.

 

(ii)           The Seller has adequate means for providing for his current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to the acquisition of the 3Power Shares.

(f)           No General Solicitation or Advertising in Regard to this Transaction.  The  Seller acknowledges that neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on their behalf solicited the Seller either (1) in connection with any general solicitation (as such term is used in Rule 502(c) of Regulation D) or general advertising with respect to any of the 3Power Shares, or (2) made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under any circumstances that would require registration of the 3Power Shares under the Securities Act.

 

(g)          Private Transaction. The Seller acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a non-public transaction that was privately negotiated by the parties hereto and their respective legal and other professional advisors. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that no information regarding this Agreement or the offer and sale of the 3Power Shares contemplated hereby has been disseminated by the Seller to any third parties, other than the Seller’s immediate family, legal counsel and/or professional business advisors.

(h)          Risk. The Seller understands that an investment in the 3Power Shares is a speculative investment which involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of his entire investment.

 

(i)           SEC Documents. The Seller has had an opportunity to review all of the SEC Reports filed by the Purchaser under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which are publicly available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

(j)           Reliance. Other than as set forth herein, the Seller is not relying upon any other information, representation or warranty by the Purchaser, or any officer, director, stockholder, agent or representative of the Purchaser in determining to invest in the 3Power Shares. The Seller has consulted, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Seller, with the Seller’s own advisers as to the financial, tax, legal and related matters concerning an investment in the 3Power Shares and on that basis believes that his or its investment in the 3Power Shares is suitable and appropriate for the Seller.

 

(k)           No Governmental Review.  The  Seller is aware that no United States federal or state agency has (1) made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this investment, (2) made any recommendation or endorsement of the 3Power Shares, the Purchaser or (3) guaranteed or insured any investment in the 3Power Shares or any investment made by the Purchaser.

 

(l)           Price. The Seller understands that the price of the 3Power Shares offered hereby bears no relation to the assets, book value or net worth of the Purchaser and was determined by the Purchaser without reference to such metrics.  The Seller further understands that there is a substantial risk of further dilution on his or its investment in the Purchaser.

 

(m)          Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty made by the Seller to the Purchaser in this Agreement omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. There is no fact known to the Seller that has specific application to the 3Power Shares and that materially adversely affects or, as far as can be reasonably foreseen, materially threatens the 3Power Shares that has not been set forth in this Agreement.

 

(n)          Compliance Undertakings. The Seller hereby acknowledges that it will comply with the requirements of Section 16 and Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations issued thereunder.  The Seller understands that, as a result of its acquisition of the 3Power Shares, and in order to comply with Section 16 and Section 13(d) and the rules and regulations issued thereunder, the Seller shall be required to file a report on Form 3 and a Schedule 13D and the Seller hereby respectively undertakes and agrees to make such filing in a timely manner.

(e)           Equitable Relief. Each Seller agrees that money damages alone will not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the provisions of Section 8.5, and that in addition to all other remedies the Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, and the Seller waives the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

 

(f)           Reformation of Agreement. If any of the covenants contained in Section 8.5, or any portion thereof, is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as against public policy or for any other reason, such court shall exercise its discretion to reform such covenant to the end that the Sellers shall be subject to nondisclosure, non-competition, noninterference, or other covenants that are reasonable under the circumstances and are enforceable by the Purchaser. In any event, if any provision of this Section 8.5 is found unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall remain in force and effect to the maximum extent allowable and all non-affected provisions shall remain fully valid and enforceable.

 

(g)           Reasonableness of Terms. The Purchaser and the Sellers stipulate and agree that the covenants and other terms contained in this Section 8.5 are reasonable in all respects, including time period, geographical area and scope of restricted activities, that the Purchaser would not have purchased the Seawind Energy Shares had the Sellers not agreed to these covenants, and that the restrictions contained herein are designed to protect the businesses of the Companies and ensure that the Sellers do not engage in unfair competition against the Companies.

 

8.6         Ownership & Enforcement of Receivables.

 

The Sellers shall assist Purchaser in documenting the Companies’ ownership of the Receivables, particularly in situations where the Companies has acquired the Receivables via acquisition, consolidation, mergers or other corporate transactions with other companies or legal entities.  Sellers shall provide, on behalf of the Companies, within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Purchaser and at no cost to Purchaser, a notarized affidavit of debt (in form satisfactory to Purchaser) in lieu of Account Documents when no such Account Documents are available or in the event that Purchaser requests such to assist the collection or litigation against any Receivable.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the indemnification of Seller Indemnitees provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations and conditions set forth in this Section 9.4:

 

(a)           except as set forth below, any claim by the Seller Indemnity for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) of this Agreement shall be required to be made by delivering notice to the Purchaser no later than the expiration of thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date; provided, that: any claim for indemnification resulting from or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Section 5.1 [Organization; Authorization], Section 5.2 [Execution and Delivery; Enforceability] or Section 5.3 [Brokerage] may be made at any time;

(c)            for purposes of determining whether (i) there has been any breach of or inaccuracy in representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and the certificates delivered pursuant hereto) and (ii) calculating Losses hereunder, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded.

 

9.5         Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

 

(a)           Third-Party Claims.

 

(i)           In order for a party (the “Indemnitee”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of, or involving a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must notify the party from whom indemnification hereunder is sought (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of the Third-Party Claim no later than thirty (30) days after such claim or demand is first asserted (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”). A Third-Party Claim Notice shall state in reasonable detail the amount or estimated amount of such claim, and shall identify the specific basis (or bases) for such claim, including the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement alleged to have been breached. Failure to give a Third-Party Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, without undue delay, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers received by the Indemnitee) relating to the Third-Party Claim so long as any such disclosure could not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the attorney-client or any other privilege that may be available to the Indemnitee in connection therewith.

(ii)           If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate, at its expense, in the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Indemnification Threshold has been exceeded, (B) no claim for injunctive relief is being made against Indemnitee, and (C) it is reasonably likely that the Indemnitee will not suffer a Loss in excess of Indemnitor’s indemnification obligation hereunder, the Indemnitor may elect to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor that is reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense; provided, that, Indemnitee’s expenses of counsel shall be an indemnified Loss for purposes of this Article 9 if such counsel reasonably concludes that a conflict or potential conflict exists between Indemnitee and Indemnitor that would make separate representation advisable. If the Indemnitor so assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, all of the indemnified parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include, at the expense of the Indemnitor, the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and making Employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (x) the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (y) the Indemnitee shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third-Party Claim which the Indemnitor may recommend and which by its terms releases the Indemnitee from any liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim without cost or expense and without any admission of violation, injunction or agreement to take or restrain from taking any action; and (z) the Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge or consent to the entry of any judgment which imposes any expense, obligation or restriction upon the Indemnitee or requires the Indemnitee to admit or acknowledge to any fact or event, including any violation of Law.

 

(b)           Other Claims. In the event any Indemnitee should have a claim against any Indemnitor under this Agreement that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnitor promptly following discovery of any indemnifiable Loss, but in any event not later than the last date set forth in Section 9.2 or 9.4, as the case may be, for making such claim (a “Claim Notice” and, together with the Third-Party Claim Notices, an “Indemnification Notice”). Such Claim Notice shall, to the extent known by Indemnitee at the time, state in reasonable detail the amount or an estimated amount of such claim, and shall specify the facts and circumstances, to the extent known by Indemnitee at the time, which form the basis (or bases) for such claim, and shall further specify the representations, warranties or covenants alleged to have been breached. Failure to give a Claim Notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Upon receipt of any a Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall notify the Indemnitee as to whether the Indemnitor accepts liability for any Loss and shall make payment to the Indemnitee within ten business days of receipt of such notice. If the Indemnitor disputes its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall attempt to resolve such dispute in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11.4, provided, however, if the Indemnitor disputes liability and does not pay such indemnification claim within ten business days of such receipt, and Indemnitor is ultimately determined to be liable for such indemnification, interest shall apply to the total amount of such claim at the highest legally permissible rate and shall be due and payable in addition to any claim for indemnification, which interest shall be calculated from the date of receipt of such Claim Notice by the Indemnitor, and Indemnitor shall furthermore be liable for any and all subsequent Losses incurred by Indemnitee as a consequence of the failure to pay such indemnification within ten business days, including, without limitation, any and all fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel to Indemnitee in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.
