ITEM 2.03 CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT

 

ITEM 3.02 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On September 30, 2009, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) of that date, we sold (“Offering”), an aggregate of $1,300,000 principal amount 12% Secured Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) and common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 5,200,000 shares of our common stock to four accredited investors in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D of that act. As part of this Offering, an aggregate of $1,000,000 principal amount of previously issued debentures, and accrued interest thereon, held by our chief executive officer Cornelis F. Wit, converted into this Offering. We intend to use the balance of the proceeds for general working capital.

The Debentures, which bear interest at 12% per annum, are due March 30, 2011. The Debentures are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock based upon a conversion rate of $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the transaction documents. Interest is convertible as provided in the Debentures. The Warrants, which have a cashless exercise provision, are exercisable until approximately four years after the closing at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The number of shares covered by the Warrants and the Warrant exercise price are subject to adjustment as provided in the transaction documents.

We granted the holders a security interest in all of our assets to secure performance of our obligations under the debentures and the other transaction agreements.

As part of the transaction, all of our officers, directors and other affiliates agreed to extend the maturity dates of all debt securities held by them in the aggregate amount of $6,900,000 beyond the maturity date of the Debentures and agreed to waive for this Offering the anti dilution rights contained in such debt securities and warrants received in such debt securities offerings.

The information contained in the press release attached hereto is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has registered its stock and is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 12 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).

This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement is, and each of the Debentures, the Warrants and each of the other Transaction Agreements, when executed and delivered by the Company (if necessary), will be, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

e. Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements by the Company, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Debentures, the Warrants and the other Transaction Agreements do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, each as currently in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing

 

8

The timely payment of interest on the Debentures is not prohibited by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, or any agreement, contract, document or other undertaking to which the Company is a party.

f. Securities Law Matters; Approvals.

(i) No authorization, approval or consent of any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents that have been obtained.

(ii) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Buyer set forth in Section 2, the offer and sale by the Company of the Purchased Securities is exempt from (A) the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and (B) the registration and/or qualification provisions of all applicable state and provincial securities and “blue sky” laws.

g. Filings. Since January 1, 2007, the Company has filed all annual and quarterly reports and all proxy statements required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s SEC Documents, as of the dates of such documents, were true and complete in all material respects and complied with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) (except in the case of unaudited statements permitted by Form 10-QSB or 10-Q under the 1934 Act) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly presented the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that in the aggregate are not material and to any other adjustment described therein).

h. Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Last Audited Date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents. Since the Last Audited Date, except as provided in the Company’s SEC Documents, the Company has not (i) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) discharged or satisfied any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability (absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) declared or made any payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with respect to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made any agreements to purchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (iv) sold, assigned or transferred any other material tangible assets, or canceled any material debts owed to the Company by any third party or material claims of the Company against any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (v) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (vi) made any increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (vii) experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their employment.

i. Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to the Company (other than conditions known to the public generally or as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents) that has not been disclosed in writing to the Buyer that would reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

j. Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any governmental authority or non-governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction Agreements. The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and

 

9


circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect.

k. Absence of Events of Default. Except as set forth in Section 3(e) hereof, no Event of Default (or its equivalent term), as defined in the respective agreement to which the Company or its Subsidiary is a party, and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default (or its equivalent term) (as so defined in such agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

l. Absence of Certain Company Control Person Actions or Events. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the following has occurred during the past five (5) years with respect to a Company Control Person:

(1) A petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such Company Control Person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

(2) Such Company Control Person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

(3) Such Company Control Person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:

(ii) engaging in any type of business practice; or

(iii) engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws;

(4) Such Company Control Person was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any federal or state authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such Company Control Person to engage in any activity described in paragraph (3) of this item, or to be associated with Persons engaged in any such activity; or

(5) Such Company Control Person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the CFTC or SEC to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the CFTC or SEC has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated.

m. No Undisclosed Liabilities or Events. The Company has no liabilities or obligations other than those disclosed in the Transaction Agreements or the Company's SEC Documents or those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since the Last Audited Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior

 

10


to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company which proposal would (x) change the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws, each as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock or (y) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the Company, including its interests in subsidiaries.

n. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time since January 1, 2007, made any offer or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.

o. Dilution. Each of the Company and its executive officers and directors is aware that the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Debentures, upon exercise of the Warrants or pursuant to the other terms of the Transaction Agreements may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders) of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Debentures and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or any shares pursuant to any other terms of any of the Transaction Agreements is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will honor such obligations, including, but not necessarily limited to, honoring every Notice of Conversion (as contemplated by the Debentures) and every Notice of Exercise (as contemplated by the Warrants), unless the Company is subject to an injunction (which injunction was not sought by the Company) prohibiting the Company from doing so.

p. Fees to Brokers, Finders and Others. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commission, placement agent or finder’s fees or similar payments by Buyer relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for such fees arising as a result of any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Buyer without the knowledge of the Company (a “Buyer’s Fee”), Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this paragraph that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney’s fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees (other than a Buyer’s Fee).

q. Tax Returns. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made and filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject and (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

r. Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in the Transaction Agreements or in the Company’s public filings with the SEC is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company confirms that, any other representation or provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company is in compliance with Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC or any similar rule or regulation regarding the dissemination of information

 

11


regarding the Company and the Company has not provided, and will not provide, the Buyer with any non-public material information regarding the Company prior to the consummation of the transactions consummated hereunder on the Closing Date.

s. Confirmation. The Company agrees that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances exist prior to the release of the Escrow Funds to the Company which would make any of the Company’s representations or warranties set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer and the Escrow Agent in writing prior to such date of such fact, specifying which representation, warranty or covenant is affected and the reasons therefore.

t. Maturity of Other Debt Securities Issued by the Company . The Company represents and warrants that, in connection with all debt securities issued by the Company and held by any officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company, within ten (10) businesses days following the Closing Date the Company shall have received the agreement from each such officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company extending the maturity dates of such debt securities beyond the maturity date of the Debentures. The Company further represents and warrants that no more than $500,000 of other debt securities issued by the Company have maturity dates prior to the maturity date of the Debentures.

u. Anti-Dilution Rights of Holders of Other Debt Securities Issued by the Company. The Company represents and warrants that, in connection with all debt securities issued by the Company and held by any officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company, within ten (10) businesses days following the Closing Date the Company shall have received the agreement from such officers, directors or other affiliates of the Company pursuant to the terms of such debt securities or agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of such debt securities waiving any anti-dilution rights of the holders of such debt securities.

4. CERTAIN COVENANTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

a. Transfer Restrictions. The Buyer acknowledges that (1) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the provisions of the 1933 Act and the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act, and may not be transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder or (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; (2) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any resale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller, or the Person through whom the sale is made, may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is used in the 1933 Act, may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (3) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

b. Restrictive Legend.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(ii) Each Warrant shall have an exercise price (each, an “Exercise Price”) equal to $0.275 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant and herein).

(iii) Each Warrant shall be exercisable commencing on the Issue Date and shall expire at the close of business on the last day of the calendar month in which the fourth annual anniversary of the Issue Date of such Warrant occurs.

13


g. Certain Agreements .

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have meanings indicated:

(A) “New Transaction Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through and including the Transaction End Date.

(B) “New Transaction Price” means the Basic New Transaction Price, except that if the Basic New Transaction Exercise Price is lower than the Basic New Transaction Price, it means the Basic New Transaction Exercise Price.

(C) “Basic New Transaction Price” means the lower of (i) if the purchase price, conversion price or put or call price per share for any shares of New Common Stock contemplated in the New Transaction is a fixed price, the lowest such fixed price or (ii) if the purchase price, conversion price or put or call price per share for any shares of New Common Stock contemplated in the New Transaction is a variable price, the price determined by the application of such formula on the date the Holder gives a Notice of Conversion under the Debenture; and provided, further, that, if the securities issued in the New Transaction are issued at a Face Value Discount (as defined below), the Basic New Transaction Price shall be adjusted to reflect such discount. 1

(D) “Basic New Transaction Exercise Price” means the lower of (i) if the exercise price per share applicable to the warrants, option or similar instrument (howsoever denominated; collectively, “New Transaction Warrants”) included in such New Transaction is a fixed price, the lowest such fixed price, or (ii) if the exercise price per share applicable to the New Transaction Warrants is a formula, the price determined by application of such formula on the date the Holder gives a Notice of Exercise under the Warrant.

(E) “New Transaction Exercise Price” means the lower of (i) the Basic New Transaction Exercise Price, or (ii) the Basic New Transaction Price multiplied by the Original Warrant Exercise Price Ratio.

(F) “Original Warrant Exercise Price Ratio” means the fraction which is the lower of (i) the fraction, of which the numerator is the Exercise Price on the Closing Date and the denominator is the Fixed Conversion Price on the Closing Date, or (ii) the fraction, of which the numerator is the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the consummation of the New Transaction and the denominator is the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately before the consummation of the New Transaction.

(G) “Face Value Discount” means consideration less than, as the case may be, (x) the number of shares being issued multiplied by the stated purchase price, (y) the stated principal amount of a debenture, note or similar instrument or (z) the stated value of the shares of convertible stock.

(ii) The Company covenants and agrees that, if, during the New Transaction Period, without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of the Holders in each instance (which consent is in the sole discretion of the Holders and may be withheld for any reason or for no reason whatsoever), the Company enters into a New Transaction, then

(A) the Fixed Conversion Price applicable to any conversion of the Debenture effected thereafter by the Holder shall be the lower of (i) the Fixed Conversion Price in effect as of the Trading Day immediately before the consummation of the New Transaction (adjusted for any subsequent capital transactions as provided in the Debenture) or (ii) the lowest New Transaction Price from this or any other New Transaction effected during the New Transaction Period (in each case, adjusted for any subsequent capital transactions as provided in the Debenture); and

 

1

By way of illustration, if convertible preferred shares having a stated value of $1 million and a fixed conversion price of $0.05 were sold for a purchase price of $800,000, the effective Basic New Transaction Price would be $0.04.

 

14


(B) the Exercise Price applicable to any exercise of the Warrant effected thereafter by the Holder shall be the lower of (i) the Exercise Price in effect as of the Trading Day immediately before the consummation of the New Transaction (adjusted for any subsequent capital transactions as provided in the Warrant) or (ii) the lowest New Transaction Exercise Price from this or any other New Transaction effected during the New Transaction Period (adjusted for any subsequent capital transactions as provided in the Warrant); and

(C) if the Exercise Price is reduced pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding clause (B), the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants shall be increased to a number of shares (the “Adjusted Warrant Shares Number”) such that the aggregate Exercise Price (after taking into account such reduction) for the Adjusted Warrant Shares Number shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price (immediately before such reduction) for the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants prior to the adjustment contemplated by this clause (C) (for purposes of all such calculations, all Warrants shall be assumed to be fully exercisable without regard to any limitations, restrictions or conditions that may be provided in any provision of any of the Transaction Agreements); and

(D) if the provisions applicable to subsequent adjustments to any one or more or all of the purchase price, conversion price or warrant exercise price of the securities issued in the New Transaction are more beneficial to the Holder than the terms, if any, provided in the Transaction Agreements, the Holder may apply the provisions of the New Transaction to the Transaction Agreements.

(iii) If during the New Transaction Period, the Company enters into a New Transaction and subsequently files a registration statement naming the New Investors of that New Transaction as selling stockholders (a “New Transaction Registration Statement”), the Holder shall have piggy-back registration rights with respect to the all or any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares then held by the Holder or then subject to issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Debenture, exercise of the outstanding Warrant or otherwise issuable as Agreement Shares (collectively, the “Remaining Shares”), subject to the conditions set forth below. Prior to the filing of the New Transaction Registration Statement, the Company shall give written notice of such anticipated filing to the Holder and the Holder shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Trading Days after receipt of such notice, to demand inclusion of all or a portion of the Holder’s Remaining Shares in the New Transaction Registration Statement. If the Holder exercises such election, the Remaining Shares so designated shall be included in the New Transaction Registration Statement at no cost or expense to the Holder (other than any costs or commissions which would be borne by the Holder were the Holder a New Investor). If the Holder elects to include any such shares, the Holder shall have, with respect to such shares, all of the rights and benefits provided to a New Investor under the terms of the agreements reflecting the New Transaction with respect to the filing, effectiveness and maintenance of effectiveness of such registration statement (including, but not necessarily limited to, provisions, if any, for liquidated damages payable by the Company under certain events) as if the Holder had been a New Investor in the New Transaction.

(iv) Nothing in the foregoing provisions reflects either an obligation on the part of any Buyer to participate in any New Transaction or a limitation on any Buyer from participating in any New Transaction.

(v) Any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(g) or any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not engage in any offers, sales or other transactions of its securities which would adversely affect the exemption from registration available for the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

h. Available Shares .

(i) The Company shall have at all times authorized and reserved for issuance, free from preemptive rights, a number of shares (the “Reserved Amount”) at least equal to the sum of (x) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as may be required, at any time, to satisfy the conversion rights of the Holders of principal on all outstanding Debentures plus interest thereon through the Maturity Date (assuming for such purposes that interest is paid in shares at the Interest Conversion Price in effect on the Reserved Share Determination Date, as defined below), plus (y) one hundred percent (100%) of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Warrants held by the Holders (in each case, whether any of such

 

15


outstanding Convertible Debentures or Warrants were originally issued to the Holder, the Buyer or to any other party and without regard to any restrictions which might limit any Holder’s right to convert any of the Debentures or to exercise any of the Warrants held by such Holder).

(ii) The Reserved Amount shall be determined on the Closing Date and after each New Transaction Closing Date, and thereafter on the first Trading Day after the end of each subsequent calendar quarter (each such determination date, a “Reserved Share Determination Date”), and the number of shares to be reserved shall be based on (q) all outstanding Debentures and the Conversion Price which would have been applicable as of such Reserved Share Determination Date and (r) all unexercised Warrants as of such date. The Reserved Amount determined on such date shall remain the Reserved Amount until the next New Transaction Closing Date or the next quarterly determination, as the case may be. The Company shall give written instructions to the Transfer Agent to reserve for issuance to the Buyer the number of shares equal to the Reserved Amount. The Company will, at the request of the Buyer, provide written confirmation, certified by an executive officer of the Company, of the number of shares then reserved for the Buyer and that the instructions referred to in the preceding sentence have been given to the Transfer Agent.

i. Reports under 1933 Act and 1934 Act . With a view to making available to Buyer the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees, subject to the provisions of Section 4(d) hereof, to (all at the Company’s expense) that the Company shall:

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(ii) file all Current Information Reports with the SEC in a timely manner; and

(iii) furnish to the Holder at any time prior to the Transaction End Date, promptly upon reasonable request, (a) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and (b) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation; and

(iv) at the request of the Holder, give the Transfer Agent instructions (supported by an opinion of Company Counsel or other counsel to the Company, if required or requested by the Transfer Agent) to the effect that, upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt from the Buyer of

(A) a certificate (a “Rule 144 Certificate”) certifying that the Holder’s holding period (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144) for the Shares which the Holder proposes to sell (the “Securities Being Sold”) is not less than six (6) months; and

(B) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company if not given by Company Counsel) that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, Securities Being Sold may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration statement,

the Transfer Agent is to effect the transfer of the Securities Being Sold and issue to the Buyer(s) or transferee(s) thereof one or more stock certificates representing the transferred Securities Being Sold without any restrictive legend and without recording any restrictions on the transferability of such shares on the Transfer Agent’s books and records (except to the extent any such legend or restriction results from facts other than the identity of the Holder, as the seller or transferor thereof, or the status, including any relevant legends or restrictions, of the shares of the Securities Being Sold while held by the Holder). If the Transfer Agent reasonably requires any additional documentation at the time of the transfer, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered all such reasonable additional documentation as may be necessary to effectuate the issuance of an unlegended certificate.

j. Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc. Each of the parties agrees that it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases, holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports (collectively, “Publicity”), without giving the other party reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof. Neither party will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other

 

16


material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will provide to the counsel designated by the Buyer (“Investor’s Counsel”) drafts of the applicable text the first filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on Form 10-Q or 10-K (or equivalent SB forms), as the case may be, intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable (but at least two (2) Trading Days before such filing will be made) and will not include in such filing (or any other filing filed before then) any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Agreements in filings made with the SEC (but any descriptive text accompanying or part of such filing shall be subject to the other provisions of this paragraph). Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(j), the Company will, after the Closing Date, promptly (but in any event within four (4) Trading Days after the Closing Date) issue a press release and file a Current Report on Form 8-K or, if appropriate, a quarterly or annual report on the appropriate form, referring to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (excepts that drafts thereof shall have provided to the Holder at least two Trading Days before the Closing Date).

k. Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Buyer under any one or more of the Transaction Agreements. The decision of each Buyer or Other Buyer to purchase Purchased Securities pursuant to the Transaction Agreements has been made by such Buyer independently of any Other Buyer and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or of its subsidiaries, if any, which may been made or given by any Other Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors, principals, employees, agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, including the Buyer, the “Buyer Representatives”). No Buyer Representative shall have any liability to any Other Buyer or the Company relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions, if any. Each Buyer acknowledges that no Other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Buyer will be acting as agent of such Other Buyer in connection with monitoring its investment in the Purchased Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Agreements, except for the case of the Collateral Agent appointed in the Security Agreement, who is affiliated with one of the Buyers in this transaction. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose; except in the case of a foreclosure and liquidation of the Collateral identified in the Security Agreement, in which case the designated Collateral Agent for all the Buyers will act on behalf of all the Buyers and no individual Buyer shall have the rights to supersede the rights of the Collateral Agent. The Company acknowledges that, for reasons of administrative convenience, (x) the Transaction Agreements have been prepared by counsel for one of the Buyers and such counsel does not represent all of the Buyers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and each other Buyer has retained its own counsel (or had the opportunity to do so) with respect to such transactions, and (y) the Company has elected to provide each of the Buyers with the same Transaction Agreements for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Buyers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Company acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any two or more Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.

l. Equal Treatment of Buyers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Agreements unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Agreements.

m. Independent Investment Decision. No Buyer has agreed to act with any Other Buyer for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities purchased hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act, and each Buyer is

 

17


acting independently with respect to its investment in the Securities. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Buyer independently of any other purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or its subsidiaries which may have made or given by any Other Buyer or by any agent or employee of any Other Buyer, and no Buyer or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Buyer (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.

n. NASD Rule 2710. The Company is aware that the Corporate Financing Rule 2710 (“NASD Rule 2710”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or to the sale by a Holder of any of the Securities. If NASD Rule 2710 is so applicable, the Company shall, to the extent required by such rule, timely make any filings and cooperate with any broker or selling stockholder in respect of any consents, authorizations or approvals that may be necessary for the NASD to timely and expeditiously permit the stockholder to sell the securities.

o. Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary, if any, to maintain a standard and uniform system of accounting and to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and such subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

p. Transactions with Affiliates. Until the Transaction End Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, enter into any material transaction or agreement with any stockholder, officer, director or Affiliate of the Company or family member of any officer, director or Affiliate of the Company, unless the transaction or agreement is (i) reviewed and approved by a majority of Disinterested Directors (as such term is hereinafter defined) and (ii) on terms no less favorable to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary than those obtainable from a non-affiliated person. The term “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and has not been an officer or employee of the Company and who is not a member of the family of, controlled by or under common control with, any such officer or employee.

q. Certain Restrictions. Until the Transaction End Date, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any capital stock of the Company, nor shall any capital stock of the Company be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than a redemption, purchase or other acquisition of shares of Common Stock made for purposes of an employee incentive or benefit plan (including a stock option plan) of the Company or pursuant to the security agreements, if any, listed on the Disclosure Annex) for any consideration by the Company, directly or indirectly, nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any Common Stock.

5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

a. The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof, it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions to issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Debentures, the exercise of the Warrants, or the issuance of Agreement Shares, if any, as may be applicable from time to time, in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 4(b) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee and in such denominations to be specified by the Holder in connection therewith. Except as so provided, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while there is an effective registration statement covering the sale of the relevant Shares, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities, as may be applicable, promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer.

 

18


b. The provisions of this paragraph apply if the provisions of Rule 144 would then be applicable to the sale of the relevant Shares by the Holder without restriction or other limitation or while there is an effective Registration Statement covering the Registrable Shares (any such period, the “Effective Period”). During the Effective Period, the Company will issue Shares without legend and without transfer restrictions on the books of the Transfer Agent, and, at the request of the Holder, will use it best efforts to have previously issued certificates representing the Shares re-issued without legend and without transfer restrictions on the books of the Transfer Agent. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or exercise of a Warrant or at the request of the Holder with respect to any Shares previously issued, provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and the Holder’s compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to electronically transmit to the Holder the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debenture or exercise of the Warrant or in replacement of any Shares previously issued by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. The Company specifically acknowledges that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC program and the Company is not aware of any plans of the Transfer Agent to terminate such participation. While any Holder holds Securities, the Company will not appoint any transfer agent which does not participate in the DTC program.

c. The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to Shares, and (ii) the issuance of certificates or DTC registration to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion guarantee) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock.

d. The Holder of a Debenture or a Warrant shall be entitled to exercise its conversion or exercise privilege with respect to the Debenture or the Warrant, as the case may be, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq . (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such holder’s exercise privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Debenture or the exercise of the Warrant. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Holder, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

e. The Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to give information relating to the Company directly to the Holder or the Holder’s representatives upon the request of the Buyer or any such representative, to the extent such information relates to (i) the status of shares of Common Stock issued or claimed to be issued to the Holder in connection with a Notice of Conversion or a Notice of Exercise, or (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of all stockholders (as a group and not individually) as of a current or other specified date. At the request of the Holder, the Company will provide the Holder with a copy of the authorization so given to the Transfer Agent.

6. CLOSING DATE.

a. The Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first Trading Day after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing Date shall occur after the Buyer completes, to the Buyer’s own satisfaction, its own due diligence review of the Company and the Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement shall have been approved by the Buyer’s investment committee, if any. If the Closing Date does not occur within thirty (30) days from the date of this Agreement, the Company may, by written notice to the Buyer, terminate this Agreement, in which event neither party shall have any obligations to the other hereunder.

b. The closing of the purchase and issuance of Debentures and Warrants shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow Agent and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the day specified above (or if such day is not a Trading Day, the next Trading Day) or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Escrow Agent will be authorized to release the Escrow Funds to the Company and to others and to release the other Escrow Property on the Closing Date upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof and as provided in the Joint Escrow Instructions.

7. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL.

The Buyer understands that the Company’s obligation to sell the Purchased Securities to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date is conditioned upon:

a. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and, where indicated, the other Transaction Agreements by the Buyer on or before such Closing Date;

b. The execution and delivery by the Buyer to the Escrow Agent by such Closing Date of good funds as payment in full of an amount equal to the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement;

c. The accuracy on such Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Buyer on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Buyer required to be performed on or before such date; and

d. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

8. CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE.

a. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements by the Company on or before such Closing Date;

b. The delivery by the Company to the Escrow Agent of the Certificates in accordance with this Agreement;

c. On such Closing Date, each of the Transaction Agreements executed by the Company on or before such date shall be in full force and effect and the Company shall not be in default thereunder;

d. The accuracy in all material respects on such Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Company on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before such date; and

 

20


e. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

9. INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.

a. (i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Buyer Control Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Buyer, its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Buyer Control Person becomes subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily from Buyer’s failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Buyer’s or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, agent’s or Buyer Control Person’s illegal or willful misconduct, gross negligence, recklessness or bad faith (in each case, as determined by a non-appealable judgment to such effect) in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(ii) The Company hereby agrees that, if the Buyer, other than by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined by a non-appealable judgment to such effect), (x) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by any stockholder of the Company, in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, or if the Buyer is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, or (y) becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation brought by the SEC, any self-regulatory organization or other body having jurisdiction, against or involving the Company or in connection with or as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, or (z) is impleaded in any such action, proceeding or investigation by any Person, then in any such case, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer from and against and in respect of all losses, claims, liabilities, damages or expenses resulting from, imposed upon or incurred by the Buyer, directly or indirectly, and reimburse such Buyer for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred. The indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Buyer who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and Buyer Control Persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Buyer and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Buyer, any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Buyer nor any such Affiliate, partner, director, agent, employee or Buyer Control Person shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the consummation of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, except as may be expressly and specifically provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

b. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(i) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which any Person claiming indemnification under any provision of this Section (an “Indemnified Party”) might seek indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of this Section against any Person (the “Indemnifying Party”), together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been prejudiced by such

 

21


failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the “Dispute Period”) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. The following provisions shall also apply.

(x) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this paragraph (b) of this Section, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this subparagraph (x), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this subparagraph (x), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(y) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute vigorously and diligently or settle the Third Party Claim, each in a reasonable manner, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (y), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in subparagraph(z) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this subparagraph (y) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this subparagraph (y), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

 

22


(z) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under paragraph (a) of this Section or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

(ii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an “Indemnity Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

c. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to.

10. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Company and the Buyer hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in connection with the Transaction Agreements.

11. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however that the Company, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion or a Notice of Exercise, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the related legal opinions, if any, or if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense, based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any other Transaction Agreement, has engaged in any violation of law or for any other reason, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver said stock certificates to the

 

23


Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized. Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted. This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Agreements as if set forth therein in full.

12. GOVERNING LAW: MISCELLANEOUS.

a. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of Broward or the state courts of the State of Florida sitting in the County of Broward in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens , to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Buyer for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Buyer in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Agreements. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

b. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

c. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

d. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require.

e. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

f. A facsimile or other electronic transmission of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto.

g. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

h. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

i. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement thereof.

j. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

k. All dollar amounts referred to or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement shall be deemed to refer to US Dollars, unless otherwise explicitly stated to the contrary.

13 . NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of

(a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by confirmed facsimile transmission,

E. Except as may be specified in a specific provision of this Debenture, any payments under this Debenture shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first to amounts due to the Holder for accrued but unpaid interest on this Debenture; and (ii) then, to principal of this Debenture.

5. This Debenture is secured by a Security Interest Agreement of even date herewith (the “Security Agreement”), in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, between the Company, the Holder and the other parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

6. No provision of this Debenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency or where contemplated herein in shares of its Common Stock, as applicable, as herein prescribed. This Debenture and all other Debentures now or hereafter issued of similar terms are direct obligations of the Company.

7. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or the interest on, this Debenture, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. Notwithstanding the forgoing, it is expressly understood and agreed between the Company and the Holder that the Holder is not waiving any rights or remedies it may have as a result of any fraud, gross negligence or malfeasance on the part of any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director of the Company or any successor corporation.

8. All payments contemplated hereby to be made “in cash” shall be made in immediately available good funds of United States of America currency by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Holder to the Company (which account may be changed by notice similarly given). All payments of cash and each delivery of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder as contemplated hereby shall be made to the Holder at the address last appearing on the Debenture Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder from time to time; except that the Holder can designate, by notice to the Company, a different delivery address for any one or more specific payments or deliveries.

9. If, for as long as this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company enters into a merger (other than where the Company is the surviving entity) or consolidation with another corporation or other entity or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another person (collectively, a “Sale”), the Company will require, in the agreements reflecting such transaction, that the surviving entity expressly assume the obligations of the Company hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company enters into a Sale and the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive stock, securities or property in respect of or in exchange for Common Stock, then as a condition of such Sale, the Company and any such successor, purchaser or transferee will agree that the Debenture may thereafter be converted on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth above into the kind and amount of stock, securities or property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture might have been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. In the event of any such proposed Sale, (i) the Holder hereof shall have the right to convert by delivering a Notice of Conversion to the Company within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of such Sale from the Company, except that Section 4(C) shall not apply to such conversion.

10. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes of all or of a part of its assets in a transaction (the “Spin Off”) in which the Company, in addition to or in lieu of any other compensation received and retained by the Company for such business, operations or assets, causes securities of another entity (the “Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to security holders of the Company, the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all of the Holder’s Debentures outstanding on the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Outstanding Debentures”) been converted as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date (the “Reserved Spin Off Shares”), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the conversion of all or any of the Outstanding Debentures, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures then being converted, and (II) the denominator is the principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures.

11. If, at any time while any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding, the Company effectuates a stock split or reverse stock split of its Common Stock or issues a dividend on its Common Stock consisting of shares of Common Stock, the prices used in determining the Conversion Price from dates prior to such action or and any other fixed amounts calculated as contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Agreements shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such action.

12. The Holder of the Debenture, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Debenture is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Debenture or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

  c. The Company fails to authorize or to cause its Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Debenture (provided, however, that for purposes of this provision, such failure to cause the Transfer Agent to issue such shares shall not be deemed to occur until two (2) Trading Days after the Delivery Date), fails to transfer or to cause its Transfer Agent to transfer any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of this Debenture and when required by this Debenture, and such transfer is otherwise lawful, or fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or fails to cause its Transfer Agent to remove such restricted legend, in each case where such removal is lawful, as and when required by this Debenture, and any such failure shall continue uncured for ten (10) Trading Days; or

 

  d. The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any other covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of this Debenture (other than a failure to pay money) and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt written notice from the Holder of such failure, or the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach or default of any provision of any the Transaction Agreements (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) which is not cured with in the time prescribed; or

  h. Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company and shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter; or

 

  i. Bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company and, if instituted against the Company, shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after such institution or the Company shall by any action or answer approve of, consent to, or acquiesce in any such proceedings or admit the material allegations of, or default in answering a petition filed in any such proceeding; or

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, then, unless and until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default), at the option of the Holder and in the Holder’s sole discretion, but without further notice from the Holder, the unpaid amount of this Debenture, computed as of such date, will bear interest at the rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is lower, from the date of the Event of Default to until and including the date actually paid; and any partial payments shall be applied as provided in Section 4(I) hereof.

Except as referenced in Sections 3(t) and 3(u) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and an amount not exceeding $500,000, no indebtedness of the Company is senior to this Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. Without the Holder’s consent, the Company will not and will not permit any of their subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits there from that is senior in any respect to the obligations of the Company under this Debenture.

 

7


17. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

18. In the event for any reason, any payment by or act of the Company or the Holder shall result in payment of interest which would exceed the limit authorized by or be in violation of the law of the jurisdiction applicable to this Debenture, then ipso facto the obligation of the Company to pay interest or perform such act or requirement shall be reduced to the limit authorized under such law, so that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any such interest, perform any such act or be bound by any requirement which would result in the payment of interest in excess of the limit so authorized. In the event any payment by or act of the Company shall result in the extraction of a rate of interest in excess of a sum which is lawfully collectible as interest, then such amount (to the extent of such excess not returned to the Company) shall, without further agreement or notice between or by the Company or the Holder, be deemed applied to the payment of principal, if any, hereunder immediately upon receipt of such excess funds by the Holder, with the same force and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such sums to be so applied to principal and the Holder had agreed to accept such sums as an interest free prepayment of this Debenture. If any part of such excess remains after the principal has been paid in full, whether by the provisions of the preceding sentences of this Section or otherwise, such excess shall be deemed to be an interest-free loan from the Company to the Holder, which loan shall be payable immediately upon demand by the Company. The provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Debenture.

19. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(d) Upon the appropriate payment, if any, of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, together with the surrender of this Warrant Certificate (if required), the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. The Company shall deliver such certificates representing the Warrant Shares in accordance with the instructions of the Holder as provided in the Notice of Exercise (the certificates delivered in such manner, the “Warrant Share Certificates”) within three (3) Trading Days (such third Trading Day, a “Delivery Date”) of (i) with respect to a “cashless exercise,” the Exercise Date or the Automatic Exercise Date, as the case may be, or, (ii) with respect to a “cash” exercise, the later of the Exercise Date or the date the payment of the Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares is received by the Company.

(e) The Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date.

2.2 Automatic Exercise . If any portion of this Warrant remains unexercised as of the Expiration Date and the Market Price of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Date is greater than the applicable Exercise Price as of the Expiration Date, then, without further action by the Holder, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised automatically on the date (the “Automatic Exercise Date”) which is the day immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date (or, in the event that the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) as if the Holder had duly given a Notice of Exercise for a “cashless” exercise as contemplated by Section 2.1(b) hereof, and the Holder (or such other person or persons as directed by the Holder) shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on such Automatic Exercise Date.

For the purposes of such calculations, the Company should assume that the outstanding portion of this Warrants was exercisable in full at any time, without regard to any restrictions which might limit the Holder’s right to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant held by the Holder.

4. Mutilation or Loss of Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

5. Rights of the Holder . The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

6. Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments .

6.1 Adjustment Mechanism . If an adjustment of the Exercise Price is required pursuant to this Section 6 (other than pursuant to Section 6.4), the Holder shall be entitled to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as will cause (i) (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Warrant following such adjustment, multiplied by (y) the adjusted Exercise Price per share, to equal the result of (ii) (x) the dollar amount of the total number of shares of Common Stock Holder is entitled to purchase before adjustment, multiplied by (y) the total Exercise Price before adjustment.

6.2 Capital Adjustments . In case of any stock split or reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification of the Common Stock, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (where the Company is not the surviving entity), the provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied as if such capital adjustment event had occurred immediately prior to the date of this Warrant and the original Exercise Price had been fairly allocated to the stock resulting from such capital adjustment; and in other respects the

 

3


provisions of this Section shall be applied in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner so as to give effect, as nearly as may be, to the purposes hereof. A rights offering to stockholders shall be deemed a stock dividend to the extent of the bargain purchase element of the rights. The Company will not effect any consolidation or merger, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock of the Company are entitled to receive as a result of such consolidation or merger assumes by written instrument the obligations under this Warrant (including under this Section 6) and the obligations to deliver to the holder of this Warrant such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder may be entitled to acquire.

6.3 Adjustment for Spin Off . If, for any reason, prior to the exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company spins off or otherwise divests itself of a part of its business or operations or disposes all or of a part of its assets in a transaction (the “Spin Off”) in which the Company does not receive compensation for such business, operations or assets, but causes securities of another entity (the “Spin Off Securities”) to be issued to security holders of the Company, then the Company shall cause (i) to be reserved Spin Off Securities equal to the number thereof which would have been issued to the Holder had all of the Holder’s unexercised Warrants outstanding on the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining the amount and number of Spin Off Securities to be issued to security holders of the Company (the “Outstanding Warrants”) been exercised as of the close of business on the Trading Day immediately before the Record Date (the “Reserved Spin Off Shares”), and (ii) to be issued to the Holder on the exercise of all or any of the Outstanding Warrants, such amount of the Reserved Spin Off Shares equal to (x) the Reserved Spin Off Shares, multiplied by (y) a fraction, of which (I) the numerator is the amount of the Outstanding Warrants then being exercised, and (II) the denominator is the amount of the Outstanding Warrants.

6.4 Adjustment for Certain Transactions . Reference is made to the provisions of Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. The number of shares covered by this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as provided in the applicable provisions of said Section 4(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

7. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act . This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “1933 Act”) and has been issued to the Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either the Warrant or the Warrant Shares. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the 1933 Act. Each certificate for the Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

8. Late Delivery of Warrant Shares . Reference is made to Section 5(b) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

9. Notices . Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in manner provided in the Section headed “NOTICES” in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

10. Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement . This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Warrant contains the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings other than expressly contained herein and therein.

11. Governing Law . This Warrant shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of Florida for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of Broward or the state courts of the State of Florida sitting in the County of Broward in connection with any dispute arising under this Warrant and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens , to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Holder for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Holder in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Agreements.

12. JURY TRIAL WAIVER . The Company and the Holder hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in connection with this Warrant.

13. Remedies . The Company stipulates that the remedies at law of the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

Section 7 . Debtor Events of Default .

(a) The Debtor shall be in default under this Security Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Debtor Event of Default”):

 

  (i) an Event of Default (as defined in the Debenture or other agreement or instrument reflecting an Obligation); or

 

  (ii) if any representation or warranty made by the Debtor in this Security Interest Agreement, in the Securities Purchase Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Agreements shall be false or misleading in any material respect; or

 

  (iii) Debtor shall breach any covenant of Debtor in this Security Interest Agreement or in any other document or instrument executed by Debtor in favor of or for the benefit of the Secured Parties as contemplated by any of the Transaction Agreements.

(b) The Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, the Debtor shall be deemed to have consented to an immediate conveyance and transfer to the Agent of the copyrights and all other rights the Debtor may have in the software included in the Collateral, including, but not necessarily limited to, the software identified in Exhibit B attached hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, the Debtor will, upon the occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, deliver to the Agent copies of the source code of the relevant software, with accompanying written assignment of the software to the Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, such source code and assignment shall be in form sufficient to enable the Agent to register the software in the Agent’s name with the Copyright Register. The Debtor hereby agrees to take all steps necessary or appropriate, as requested by the Agent, to effectuate and reflect such conveyance and transfer or assignment to the Agent. In all events, such conveyance, transfer or assignment shall be deemed to vest title in such software in the Agent.

(c) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, the Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may, upon the occurrence of a Debtor Event of Default, seek the immediate entry of a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Debtor’s use of such software in any shape, way or manner, including, but not necessarily limited to, through the sale of products that use any of such software, and the Debtor hereby irrevocably agrees that it will not contest an application seeking entry of a preliminary injunction and that it will accept the entry of such injunction.


Section 8 . Remedies Upon Debtor Event of Default . If any Debtor Event of Default shall have occurred, then in addition to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, the Agent may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. The Agent may require the Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient. The Agent shall give the Debtor ten (10) business days prior written notice of the Agent’s intention to make any public or private sale or sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange of the Collateral. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned. The Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9 . Application of Collateral and Proceeds . The proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priorities: (a) first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses, and advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith; (b) second, to the payment of the Obligations in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing to each of the Secured Parties; and (c) finally, to pay to the Debtor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.

Section 10 . Attorney-in-Fact . Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Company for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Secured Parties shall be entitled under this Agreement to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Company representing any dividend, payment, or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

Section 11 . Termination of Security Interests; Release of Collateral . Upon the payment or other satisfaction in full of the Obligations, the Security Interests shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Debtor. Upon any such termination of the Security Interests or release of Collateral, the Agent will, at the Debtor’s expense, to the extent permitted by law, execute and deliver to the Debtor such documents as the Debtor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interests or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.


Section 12 . Permitted Liens . The Debtor further covenants and agrees that it will not grant any other lien in the Collateral (howsoever denominated) as long as any of the Obligations remains outstanding other than Permitted Liens (as defined below). The term “Permitted Liens” means any one or more of the following:

(a) liens shown on Exhibit A attached hereto, each of which represents a security interest granted and perfected prior to September     , 2009;

(c) purchase money liens (i) on equipment acquired or held by the Debtor, where such lien was created in connection with the financing of the acquisition of such equipment, or (ii) existing on equipment when such equipment is or was acquired by the Debtor; provided, in each case that the lien is limited to the specific item or items of equipment and improvements and proceeds thereof;

(d) liens associated with licenses or sublicenses granted by the Debtor in the ordinary course of its business, and not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, if such liens have no priority over the Security Interests;

(e) liens associated with licenses or sublicenses granted to the Debtor in the ordinary course of its business, in connection with the Debtor’s leased premises or leased property, if such liens have no priority over the Security Interests;

(f) leases or subleases granted in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s business, including in connection with the Debtor’s leased premises or leased property; or

(g) liens incurred in the extension, renewal, or refinancing of the indebtedness secured by liens described in subparagraphs (a) through and including (c) above, but any such extension, renewal or replacement lien must be limited to the property encumbered by the existing lien and the principal amount of the indebtedness may not increase.

All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (a) personally served, (b) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (c) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (d) transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice given in accordance herewith.

The addresses for such communications shall be for (i) the Debtor as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement for notices to the Company, (ii) the Agent at                                              , and (iii) for each Secured Party as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement for notices to the relevant Buyer. Any party hereto may from time to time change its address or facsimile number for notices under this Section in the manner contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Section 14. Miscellaneous .

(a) No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right, power or remedy under this Security Interest Agreement preclude the exercise, in whole or in part, of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies in this Security Interest Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
