The making and performance of the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not (i) violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Company, (ii) 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, or (iii) violate 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, in the case of clause (ii) which would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 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 the Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, other than such as have been made or obtained and except for compliance with the Blue Sky laws and federal securities laws applicable to the offering of the Securities. Upon its execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by the Purchaser and the other parties thereto, the Agreement will constitute the 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). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean: (a) a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, business or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its material obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Material Adverse Effect shall not include any event, change, effect, development, condition or occurrence arising out of or relating to (i) general economic or political conditions in the United States of America, (ii) conditions generally applicable to the industry in which the Company operates (except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, if the event, change, effect, development, condition or occurrence disproportionately impacts the business, assets or financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), and (iii) the public announcement of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. A reduction in market price of the Company's Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Material Adverse Effect.

  

  

  

2.5 Board Approval. The Board of Directors of the Company has, as of the date of this Agreement, approved the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the issuance of the Shares).

2.6 No Defaults. The Company is not in violation or default of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or other organizational documents, or, except as to defaults, violations and breaches which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to be material to the financial condition, properties, business or results of operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in breach of or default with respect to any provision of any agreement, judgment, decree, order, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.

 

2.7 Compliance. The Company has complied in all material respects with each Law binding on it or on any of its assets or properties and is not currently in violation of any such Law, and there have been no written notices or orders of noncompliance issued to the Company of any of its Subsidiaries under or in respect of any such Law, the noncompliance with which would reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse Effect. "Law" means any judgment, order, or statute, law (including common law), ordinance, rule, permit or regulation applicable to the Company or its respective businesses, properties or assets.

  

  

  

2.8 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation pending, or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened, before any agency, court, tribunal or governmental entity, foreign or domestic, against the Company which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company has received no notice or assertion of such an action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation. There is no order of any governmental entity binding on the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or properties.

2.9 Taxes. (a) The Company has timely filed all Tax Returns required to filed by or on behalf of the Company (taking in consideration appropriate extensions for filing) and has fully paid or adequately accrued all Taxes payable by the Company. All such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all respects. No tax deficiency has been or might be asserted or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)   No audit or other administrative or court proceedings are pending with any governmental authority with respect to Taxes of the Company, and no written notice thereof has been received. No claim has been made by a taxing authority in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns such that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

(c)   The Company has disclosed on its federal income Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to substantial understatement of federal income tax within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

 

For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Taxes" shall mean (A) all federal, state, local or foreign taxes, charges, fees, imposts, levies or other assessments, including all net income, gross receipts, capital, sales, use, ad valorem, value added, transfer, franchise, profits, inventory, capital stock, license, withholding, payroll, employment, social security, unemployment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, property and estimated taxes, customs duties, fees, assessments and charges of any kind whatsoever, (B) all interest, penalties, fines, additions to tax or additional amounts imposed by any governmental authority in connection with any item described in clause (A), and (C) any transferee liability in respect of any items described in clauses (A) and/or (B) payable by reason of contract, assumption, transferee liability, operation of law, Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof of any analogous or similar provision under law) or otherwise, and (y) "Tax Returns" shall mean any return, report, claim for refund, estimate, information return or statement or other similar document relating to or required to be filed with any governmental authority with respect to Taxes, including any schedule or attachment thereto, and including any amendment thereof.

  

  

  

 

2.11 Transfer Taxes. At the close of this Agreement, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to the Purchaser hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been fully complied with.
