3
3.6 SEC
Documents; the Company’s Financial Statements.
The
Company is a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), and files annual and periodic reports (the "SEC Documents")
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As of their respective
filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable
to
the Company and to the knowledge of the Company none of the SEC Documents
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading,
except to the extent corrected by a subsequently filed document with the SEC.
The SEC Documents contain an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company
as of the end of the last completed fiscal year (the “Balance Sheet”) and the
related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flow for the year
then ended (collectively, the “Financials”). The Financials have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent through the periods
indicated and consistent with each other. The Financials present fairly the
consolidated financial condition and operating results and cash flows of the
Company and its subsidiaries as of the dates and during the periods indicated
therein. Since the date of the Balance Sheet and until the date of this
Agreement, there has not occurred any material adverse change in the business,
assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which has not been reflected in the SEC
Documents.
3.7 Form
S-3.
The
Company has delivered to each Investor a copy of the Form S-3. The Company
represents and warrants that the Form S-3 has been declared effective by the
SEC
and is not subject to any stop order. The Company is not aware of any event,
fact or circumstance, which would cause the Form S-3 to contain a material
misstatement or require the filing of an amendment thereto. The Company at
the
time of the initial filing of the Form S-3 met the SEC’s eligibility
requirements for use of a Form S-3 in connection with a primary offering. The
Company agrees to timely file (i) a Form 8-K disclosing the execution of this
Agreement, if and when required, (ii) all periodic reports required to be filed
under the Exchange Act in order to keep the S-3 in effect, and (iii) any
amendments, if necessary, and deliver to the Investor a copy of any such
amendment.
3.8 Disclosure.
Neither
this Agreement, nor any of the schedules, attachments, or certificates attached
to this Agreement or delivered by the Company on the Closing Date, contains
any
untrue statements of material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact
which the Company has not disclosed to the Investor, orally or in writing,
and
of which any of the Company’s directors or officers are aware, which could
reasonably be anticipated to have a material adverse effect, upon the financial
condition, operating results or assets, of the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, certain information provided by the Company to the Investor contained
statements that are forward-looking, which are covered by the “safe harbor”
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that
could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and accordingly,
such results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company.
4
3.9 No
Consents.
The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
offer, issuance and sale of the Shares require no consent of, action by or
in
respect of, or filing with, any individual or entity, governmental body, agency,
or official other than filings that have been made pursuant to applicable state
securities laws and post-sale filings pursuant to applicable state and federal
securities laws which the Company undertakes to file within the applicable
time
periods.
3.10
Regulatory
Compliance.
The
Company is not in violation of any applicable law, regulation, judgment, order
or consent decree (of any governmental or non-governmental regulatory or
self-regulatory agency or any organized exchange, including without limitation,
the SEC, any state or local securities or insurance regulatory body, or the
Internal Revenue Service), which violation is likely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or this
transaction.
3.11 Regulatory
Proceedings, Investigations and Inquiries.
The
Company has not been the subject of any material regulatory proceeding,
examination, investigation or inquiry (known to the Company), including any
pending or threatened regulatory proceeding, investigation or inquiry (known
to
the Company) (including without limitation any by governmental or
non-governmental regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any organized exchange)
relating to the Company.
3.12
Registration
Statement.
The
Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") was
declared effective by the SEC on January 10, 2005. The Registration Statement
is
effective on the date hereof and the Company has not received notice that the
SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to such
Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn
the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently,
or intends or has threatened in writing to do so. The Registration Statement
(including the information or documents incorporated by reference therein),
as
of the time it was declared effective, and any amendments or supplements
thereto, each as of the time of filing, did not contain any untrue statement
of
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. In addition, the
Company hereby agrees to file with the SEC, as required, no later than two
business days from the Effective Date, either an amendment or a prospectus
supplement in accordance with Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act. The
Registration Statement registers the issuance of the Shares to the Investor
and,
when issued to the Investor, the Shares shall be freely tradeable by the
Investor.
3.13 Compliance
with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements.
The
Company is in compliance with applicable Nasdaq SmallCap Market continued
listing requirements. There are no proceedings pending or, to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened against the Company relating to the continued listing
of
the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and the Company has not received
any currently effective notice of, nor to the Company’s knowledge is there any
basis for, the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market.

INDEMNIFICATION
7.1
To
the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless,
the
Investor, the directors and officers, if any, of the Investor, and each person,
if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act
or
the Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively,
"Claims") to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act,
the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any
untrue statement or untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission
or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or omission to
state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
the
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not
misleading or (iii) any violation or violation by the Company of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law (the matters
in
the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being collectively referred to as
"Violations"). The Company shall reimburse the Investor, promptly as such
expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees
or
other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating
or
defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7 shall not
(i)
apply to any Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in
connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) be available to the extent
such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or cause to be
delivered the prospectus made available by the Company; or (iii) apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Investor will indemnify the Company, its officers,
directors and agents (including legal counsel) (each an "Indemnified Person")
against any claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company, by or on behalf of the Investor, expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement, subject to such limitations
and
conditions set forth in this Section 7. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, and shall survive the sale of the
Shares by the Subscriber.
7
7.2
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section of notice
of
the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such
Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall
have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be; provided,
however,
that an
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the
reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the
reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel
in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall
not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person
under
this Section except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced
in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this
Section shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the
course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or
liability is incurred and is due and payable.
7.3
To
the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with
respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under
Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8
8.
