and otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
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 herein or therein, 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 any of its
Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects,
operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule
or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the
Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed
(assuming for this purpose that the Company's reports filed under the
1934 Act are being incorporated into an effective registration
statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act).
o. Acknowledgment Regarding Buyers' Purchase of
--------------------------------------------
Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyers are
----------
acting solely in the capacity of arm's length purchasers with respect
to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Company further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial
advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with
respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and
any statement made by any Buyer or any of their respective
representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation and
is merely incidental to the Buyers' purchase of the Securities. The
Company further represents to each Buyer that the Company's decision
to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent
evaluation of the Company and its representatives.
p. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor
----------------------
any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf,
has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or
solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that
would require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the
Securities to the Buyers. The issuance of the Securities to the
10
Buyers will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company's
securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder
approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.
q. No Brokers. Except as set forth in Schedule
----------
3(q), the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any
claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or
similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby.
r. Permits; Compliance. The Company and each of its
-------------------
Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants,
authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exemptions,
consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease
and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now
being conducted (collectively, the "Company Permits"), and there is no
action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits.
Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with,
or in default or violation of, any of the Company Permits, except for
any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in
the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Since December 30, 2004, neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to
possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except
for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations,
which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
s. Environmental Matters.
---------------------
(i) Except as set forth in Schedule 3(s), there
are, to the Company's knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present
violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any
material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances,
conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may
give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws
and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any
notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending
or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened in connection with any of
the foregoing. The term "Environmental Laws" means all federal,
state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of
human health or the environment (including, without limitation,
ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface
strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions,
discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants
contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials") into the environment, or
otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous
Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or
demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice
letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder.
(ii) Other than those that are or were stored,
used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous
Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned,
11
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no
Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property
previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course
of the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' business.
(iii) Except as set forth in Schedule 3(s), there
are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned,
leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not
in compliance with applicable law.
t. Title to Property. The Company and its
-----------------
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real
property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned
by them which is material to the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances
and defects except such as are described in Schedule 3(t) or such as
would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are
held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such
exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
u. Insurance. The Company and each of its
---------
Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the
businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged.
Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as
and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a
cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
provided to Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to
directors' and officers' liability coverage, errors and omissions
coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.
v. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and
----------------------------
each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company's board of
directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with
management's general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to
any differences.
w. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company,
-------------------------
nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent,
employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any
Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the
Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political
activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign
or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds;
violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate,
12
payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee.
x. Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to
--------
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its
assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to
pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become
absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information
that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not,
after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement,
have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would
impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in
connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not
receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most
recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any
basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in
respect of its current fiscal year.
y. No Investment Company. The Company is not, and
---------------------
upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this
Agreement will not be an "investment company" required to be
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an "Investment
Company"). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.
z. Certain Registration Matters. Assuming the
----------------------------
accuracy of the Buyers' representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3, no registration under the Securities Act is required for
the offer and sale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares by the
Company to the Buyers under the transaction documents. Except as
specified in Schedule 3(z), the Company has not granted or agreed to
grant to any Person any rights (including "piggy-back" registration
rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the
Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been
satisfied.
aa. Breach of Representations and Warranties by the
-----------------------------------------------
Company. If the Company breaches any of the representations or
-------
warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other
remedies available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to the Buyer the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount
in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the Company,
until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay the Standard
Liquidated Damages Amounts in shares of Common Stock, such shares
shall be issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
4. COVENANTS.
a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best
------------
efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section
6 and 7 of this Agreement.
b. Form D; Blue Sky Laws. The Company agrees to
---------------------
file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Buyer promptly
after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date,
take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is
necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyers at the
applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable
securities or "blue sky" laws of the states of the United States (or
to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide
13
evidence of any such action so taken to each Buyer on or prior to the
Closing Date.
c. Reporting Status; Eligibility to Use Form S-3,
----------------------------------------------
SB-2 or Form S-1. The Company's Common Stock is registered under
----------------
Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act. The Company represents and warrants that
it meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 (or if the Company is
not eligible for the use of Form S-3 as of the Filing Date (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company may use the form of
registration for which it is eligible at that time) for registration of
the sale by the Buyer of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement). So long as the Buyer beneficially owns
any of the Securities, the Company shall timely file all reports
required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and the
Company shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file
reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder would permit such termination. The Company
further agrees to file all reports required to be filed by the Company
with the SEC in a timely manner so as to become eligible, and
thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form S-3. The
Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of
the transaction contemplated hereby as soon as practicable following
the Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) business days of the
Closing Date, which press release shall be subject to prior review by
the Buyers. The Company agrees that such press release shall not
disclose the name of the Buyers unless expressly consented to in
writing by the Buyers or unless required by applicable law or
regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement.
d. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net
---------------
proceeds from the sale of the Notes and the Warrants in the manner set
forth in Schedule 4(d) attached hereto and made a part hereof and
shall not, directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for (i) any loan
to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or
other person (except in connection with its currently existing direct
or indirect Subsidiaries); (ii) the satisfaction of any portion of the
Company's debt (other than payment of trade payables and accrued
expenses in the ordinary course of the Company's business and
consistent with prior past practices), or (iii) the redemption of any
Common Stock.
e. Future Offerings. Subject to the exceptions
----------------
described below, the Company will not, without the prior written
consent of a majority-in-interest of the Buyers, negotiate or contract
with any party to obtain additional equity financing (including debt
financing with an equity component) that involves (A) the issuance of
Common Stock at a discount to the market price of the Common Stock on
the date of issuance (taking into account the value of any warrants or
options to acquire Common Stock issued in connection therewith) or (B)
the issuance of convertible securities that are convertible into an
indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock or (C) the issuance of
warrants during the period (the "Lock-up Period") beginning on the
Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) two hundred seventy (270)
days from the Closing Date and (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days from
the date the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) is declared effective (plus any days in which sales
cannot be made thereunder). In addition, subject to the exceptions
described below, the Company will not conduct any equity financing
(including debt with an equity component) ("Future Offerings") during
the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending two (2) years
after the end of the Lock-up Period unless it shall have first
14
delivered to each Buyer, at least twenty (20) business days prior to
the closing of such Future Offering, written notice describing the
proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof
and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection
therewith, and providing each Buyer an option during the fifteen (15)
day period following delivery of such notice to purchase its pro rata
share (based on the ratio that the aggregate principal amount of Notes
purchased by it hereunder bears to the aggregate principal amount of
Notes purchased hereunder) of the securities being offered in the
Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future
Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence and the
preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the "Capital
Raising Limitations"). In the event the terms and conditions of a
proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of
the notice to the Buyers concerning the proposed Future Offering, the
Company shall deliver a new notice to each Buyer describing the
amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and each
Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the fifteen (15) day
period following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata
share of the securities being offered on the same terms as
contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The
foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms
and conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The Capital Raising
Limitations shall not apply to any transaction involving (i) issuances
of securities in a firm commitment underwritten public offering
(excluding a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933
Act, an equity line of credit or similar financing arrangement)
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of in excess of $1,500,000,
or (ii) issuances of securities as consideration for a merger,
consolidation or purchase of assets, or in connection with any
strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which
is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the disposition
or acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The
Capital Raising Limitations also shall not apply to the issuance of
securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company's options,
warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date
hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the
issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or
restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.
f. Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall
--------
reimburse Buyers for expenses incurred by them in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection
herewith ("Documents"), including, without limitation, attorneys' and
consultants' fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock
quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications
of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the
Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow
fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the
Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly,
otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to
the Buyers for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice
by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer If the
Company fails to reimburse the Buyer in full within three (3) business
days of the written notice or submission of invoice by the Buyer, the
Company shall pay interest on the total amount of fees to be
reimbursed at a rate of 15% per annum.
g. Financial Information. The Company agrees to
---------------------
send the following reports to each Buyer until such Buyer transfers,
assigns, or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) days
after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-
15
KSB its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB and any Current Reports on
Form 8-K; (ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press
releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii)
contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the
shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other
information the Company makes available or gives to such shareholders.
h. Authorization and Reservation of Shares. Subject
---------------------------------------
to Stockholder Approval, the Company shall at all times have
authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the full conversion or
exercise of the outstanding Notes and Warrants and issuance of the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in connection therewith (based on
the Conversion Price of the Notes or Exercise Price of the Warrants in
effect from time to time) and as otherwise required by the Notes. The
Company shall not reduce the number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance upon conversion of Notes and exercise of the Warrants
without the consent of each Buyer. The Company shall at all times
maintain the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved for issuance
at an amount ("Reserved Amount") equal to no less than two (2) times
the number that is then actually issuable upon full conversion of the
Notes and Additional Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants and the
Additional Warrants (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes or the
Exercise Price of the Warrants in effect from time to time). If at
any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved
for issuance ("Authorized and Reserved Shares") is below the Reserved
Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary
to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including,
without limitation, calling a special meeting of shareholders to
authorize additional shares to meet the Company's obligations under
this Section 4(h), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized
shares, obtain shareholder approval of an increase in such authorized
number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in
favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure
that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the
Reserved Amount. If the Company fails to obtain such shareholder
approval within thirty (30) days following the date on which the
number of Reserved Amount exceeds the Authorized and Reserved Shares,
the Company shall pay to the Borrower the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Buyer. If the Buyer elects to be paid the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the
Conversion Price at the time of payment. In order to ensure that the
Company has authorized a sufficient amount of shares to meet the
Reserved Amount at all times, the Company must deliver to the Buyer at
the end of every month a list detailing (1) the current amount of
shares authorized by the Company and reserved for the Buyer; and (2)
amount of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon
exercise of the Warrants and as payment of interest accrued on the
Notes for one year. If the Company fails to provide such list within
five (5) business days of the end of each month, the Company shall pay
the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount, in cash or in shares of Common
Stock at the option of the Buyer, until the list is delivered. If the
Buyer elects to be paid the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in
shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be issued at the Conversion
Price at the time of payment.
i. Listing. The Company shall promptly secure the
-------
listing of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national
securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which
shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of
16
issuance) and, so long as any Buyer owns any of the Securities, shall
maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so
listed, such listing of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares from
time to time issuable upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the
Warrants. The Company will obtain and, so long as any Buyer owns any
of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on the OTCBB or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq
National Market ("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq
SmallCap"), the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or the American
Stock Exchange ("AMEX") and will comply in all respects with the
Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or
rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") and
such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to
each Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTCBB and any
other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then
listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for
listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.
j. Corporate Existence. So long as a Buyer
-------------------
beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall maintain
its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of
the Company's assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation
or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, where the
surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the
Company's obligations hereunder and under the agreements and
instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly
traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the
OTCBB, Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
k. No Integration. The Company shall not make any
--------------
offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under
circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being
offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of
the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities
by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision
applicable to the Company or its securities.
l. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any
-------------------
of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any
other remedies available to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall pay to the Buyers the Standard Liquidated Damages
Amount, in cash or in shares of Common Stock at the option of the
Company, until such breach is cured. If the Company elects to pay the
Standard Liquidated Damages Amount in shares, such shares shall be
issued at the Conversion Price at the time of payment.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. The Company shall issue
---------------------------
irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates,
registered in the name of each Buyer or its nominee, for the
Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from
time to time by each Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Notes
or exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms thereof (the
"Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions"). Prior to registration of
the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the
date on which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of
Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold,
all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in
Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no
17
instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions
referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give
effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares and
Warrant Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion
Shares and Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date
that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to
its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely
transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the
Buyer's obligations and agreement set forth in Section 2(g) hereof to
comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any,
upon re-sale of the Securities. If a Buyer provides the Company with
(i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for
opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale
or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under
the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer
provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be sold
pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in
the case of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, promptly
instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free
from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as
specified by such Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it
of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Buyers, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may
be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the
Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate
transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.
6. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The
----------------------------------------------
obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Notes and
Warrants to a Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at
or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions

satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants,
agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed,

which prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions

--------
by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the
Buyers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction
contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the
remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement
will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the
Buyers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies
at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable
herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or
curing any breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic
loss and without any bond or other security being required.
