and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Rights")
and in
and to each material invention, software, trade secret, technology, product,
composition, formula and method of process used by the Company or its

Property"),

Effect;
(ii) other
than as set forth in the SEC Reports and except as in the ordinary course
of
business, no royalties or fees (license or otherwise) are payable by the
Company
or its Subsidiaries to any Person by reason of the ownership or use of any

and
(c) for other employee benefits, including stock option agreements and other

(r) Internal
Accounting Controls.

controls sufficient in the judgment of the Company's management to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with
management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded

at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures
(as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the Company
is
able to collect the information that it is required to disclose in the reports
it files with the Commission and to process, summarize and disclose this
information in the time periods specified in the Commission's rules. The
Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. The Company presented in
its
Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 the conclusions of the
certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures based on their evaluations as of September 30, 2006. Since September
30, 2006, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal
controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under
the
Exchange Act) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect the Company's internal controls.

Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect
to
any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated

(t) Private
Placement; Integrated Offering.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers representations and warranties set
forth
in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for
the
offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated
hereby. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not contravene
the
rules and regulations of the Trading Market. 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 of any security or solicited any offers
to
buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes
of the
Securities Act and would as a result require registration under the Securities
Act or trigger any applicable shareholder approval provisions, including,
without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated
quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed
or
designated.
(u) Registration
Rights.
Except
as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement and with respect to the shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants held by XxXxxxxxx Xxxxx
Securities Co. L.P., no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect
the
registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the
Company.
(v) Listing
and Maintenance Requirements.
The
Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice
from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or
quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing
or
maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has
no
reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to
be, in
compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(w) Taxes.
All
tax
returns and tax reports required to be filed with respect to the income,
operations, business or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been
timely filed (or appropriate extensions have been obtained) with the appropriate
governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns and reports
are
required to be filed, and all of the foregoing as filed are, in all material
respects, correct and complete and, in all material respects, reflect accurately
all liability for taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods
to
which such returns relate, and all amounts shown as owing thereon have been
paid. All income, profits, franchise, sales, use, value added, occupancy,
property, excise, payroll, withholding, FICA, FUTA and other taxes (including
interest and penalties), if any, collectible or payable by the Company and
its
Subsidiaries or relating to or chargeable against any of its material assets,
revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent contractor,
creditor, stockholder or other third party through the Closing Date, were
fully
collected and paid by such date if due by such date or provided for by adequate
reserves in the financial statements contained in the SEC Reports as of and
for
the periods ended September 30, 2006 (other than taxes accruing after such
date)
and all similar items due through the Closing Date will have been fully paid
by
that date or provided for by adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes
were reported or reflected in any tax returns or filings.
-
-
-
15
-
No
taxation authority has sought to audit the records of the Company or any
of its
Subsidiaries for the purpose of verifying or disputing any tax returns, reports
or related information and disclosures provided to such taxation authority,
or
for the Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' alleged failure to provide
any
such tax returns, reports or related information and disclosure. No material
claims or deficiencies have been asserted against or inquiries raised with
the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any taxes or other
governmental charges or levies which have not been paid or otherwise satisfied,
including claims that, or inquiries whether, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was required to file, and,
to
the best of the Company's knowledge, there exists no reasonable basis for
the
making of any such claims or inquiries. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has waived any restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes
or
consented to the extension of any statute of limitations relating to
taxation.
(x) Environmental
Matters. None
of
the premises or any properties owned, occupied or leased by the Company or
its
Subsidiaries (the "Premises")
has
been used by the Company or the Subsidiaries or, to the Company's knowledge,
by
any other Person, to manufacture, treat, store, or dispose of any substance
that
has been designated to be a "hazardous substance" under applicable Environmental
Laws (hereinafter defined) ("Hazardous
Substances")
in
violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. To its knowledge, the Company
has not disposed of, discharged, emitted or released any Hazardous Substances
which would require, under applicable Environmental Laws, remediation,
investigation or similar response activity. No Hazardous Substances are present
as a result of the actions of the Company or, to the Company's knowledge,
any
other Person, in, on or under the Premises which would give rise to any
liability or clean-up obligations of the Company under applicable Environmental
Laws. The Company and, to the Company's knowledge, any other Person for whose
conduct it may be responsible pursuant to an agreement or by operation of
law,
are in compliance with all laws, regulations and other federal, state or
local
governmental requirements, and all applicable judgments, orders, writs, notices,
decrees, permits, licenses, approvals, consents or injunctions in effect
on the
date of this Agreement relating to the generation, management, handling,
transportation, treatment, disposal, storage, delivery, discharge, release
or
emission of any Hazardous Substance (the "Environmental
Laws").
Neither the Company nor, to the Company's knowledge, any other Person for
whose
conduct it may be responsible pursuant to an agreement or by operation of
law
has received any written complaint, notice, order, or citation of any actual,
threatened or alleged noncompliance with any of the Environmental Laws, and
there is no proceeding, suit or investigation pending or, to the Company's
knowledge, threatened against the Company or, to the Company's knowledge,
any
such Person with respect to any violation or alleged violation of the
Environmental Laws, and, to the knowledge of the Company, there is no basis
for
the institution of any such proceeding, suit or investigation.
(y) Financial
Projections.
The
financial projections of the Company, dated November 2006, delivered to the
Purchasers on or prior to the Closing were prepared by Company management
in
good faith, subject to all of the assumptions and factors relied upon by
the
Company in connection with the preparation thereof, and present a reasonable
estimate of the Company's future financial performance.

ARTICLE
IV
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities
laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares, other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement, to the Company, to an Affiliate of a Purchaser
(who is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities
Act
and executes a customary representation letter) or in connection with a pledge
as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the
transferor and reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the form and substance
of
which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect
that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares
under the Securities Act,
provided, however,
that in
the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144, no opinion shall be required
if the
transferor provides the Company with a customary seller's representation
letter,
and if such sale is not pursuant to subsection (k) of Rule 144, a customary
broker's representation letter and a Form 144.
Any such
transferee that agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement
and
the Investor Rights Agreement shall have the rights of a Purchaser under
this
Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement. Except as required by federal
securities laws and the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction
within
the United States, the Shares may be transferred, in whole or in part, by
any of
the Purchasers at any time. The Company shall reissue certificates evidencing
the Shares upon surrender of certificates evidencing the Shares being
transferred in accordance with this Section 4.1(a).
(b) The
Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this
Section 4.1(b), of a legend on any of the Shares in substantially the
following form:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"),
AND,
ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR
TO
SUCH EFFECT, SUCH COUNSEL AND THE SUBSTANCE OF SUCH OPINION SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH A
BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH
A
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN "ACCREDITED
INVESTOR"
AS
DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
-
-
-
19
-
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer
or
grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial
institution that is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under
the
Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such
Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the
Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party
or
pledgor shall be required in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that
such Purchaser shall provide the Company with such documentation as is
reasonably requested by the Company to ensure that the pledge is pursuant
to a
bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or a security
interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is
an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
The
Company will execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee or secured
party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer
of the Shares, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus
supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable
provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling
stockholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend
set
forth in Section 4.1(b)), (i) following any sale of such Shares pursuant
to Rule
144, or (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k) (and
the
holder of such Shares has submitted a written request for removal of the
legend
indicating that the holder has complied with the applicable provisions of
Rule
144), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements
issued
by the Staff of the Commission) (and the holder of such Shares has submitted
a
written request for removal of the legend indicating that the holder has
complied with the applicable provisions of Rule 144). The Company shall cause
its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company's transfer agent promptly
upon the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above
to
effect the removal of the legend hereunder and shall also cause its counsel
to
issue a "blanket" legal opinion to the Company's transfer agent promptly
after
the Effective Date, if required by the Company's transfer agent, to allow
sales
pursuant to an effective Registration Statement. The Company agrees that
at such
time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will,
no
later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the
Company or the Company's transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares
with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser
a
certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and
other
legends; provided that, if a Purchaser is selling Shares pursuant to Rule
144,
the holder of such Shares has submitted a written request for removal of
the
legend indicating that the holder has complied with the applicable provisions
of
Rule 144. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions
on transfer set forth in this Section.
-
-
-
20
-
(d) Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees that the removal of the restrictive
legend from certificates representing Shares as set forth in this Section
4.1 is
predicated upon the Company's reliance on, and such Purchaser's agreement
that,
and each Purchaser hereby agrees that, such Purchaser will not sell any Shares
except pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities
Act,
including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom.
4.2
Furnishing
of Information.
As
long
as any Purchaser owns Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period)
all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant
to
the Exchange Act. As long as any Purchaser owns Shares, if the Company is
not
required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and
furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available in accordance with
Rule
144(c), such information as is required for the Purchasers to sell the Shares
under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further
action as any holder of Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Shares without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144.
4.3 Integration.
The
Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner
that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale
of the
Shares to the Purchasers or that would be integrated with the offer or sale
of
the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market.
4.4 Form
8-K; Publicity.
The
Company shall, within four Business Days following the date hereof, file
a
Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby
and
make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the
Commission. No Purchaser shall issue any press release with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise make any such public statement
without the prior consent of the Company, except if such disclosure is required
by applicable law, rule or regulation, in which case such Purchaser shall
promptly provide the Company with prior notice of such public statement or
communication. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing made with the
Commission (other than the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings
made in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with
the
periodic filing and reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or any
regulatory agency, securities exchange or Trading Market, without the prior
written consent of such Purchaser.
-
-
-
21
-
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to make any such disclosure
to the
extent such disclosure is required by law or applicable Trading Market
regulations, in which case the Company shall provide such Purchaser with
prior
notice of such disclosure.
4.5 Non-Public
Information.
The
Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting
on its
behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information
that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless
prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding
the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands
and

INDEMNIFICATION,
TERMINATION AND DAMAGES
5.1 Survival
of Representations.
Except
as
otherwise provided herein, the representations and warranties of the Company
and
the Purchasers contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive
the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing Date and shall continue
in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years from the Closing
Date.
The Company's and the Purchasers' warranties and representations shall in
no way
be affected or diminished in any way by any investigation of (or failure
to
investigate) the subject matter thereof made by or on behalf of the Company
or
the Purchasers.
5.2 Indemnification.
The
Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates,
each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective
successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses
which
are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance
by
the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company in the Transaction
Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Company
in
the Transaction Documents; and/or (iii) any and all third party actions,
suits,
proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the
foregoing.
5.3 Indemnity
Procedure.
A
party
or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against
any
matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the "Indemnifying
Party"
and the
other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the "Indemnified
Party".
-
-
-
23
-
An
Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted
against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying
Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under
this
Agreement within sixty (60) Business Days of the receipt of any written claim
from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the
date
any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters
for
which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written
notice
to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim
for
indemnity; provided,
however,
that
any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified
Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially
prejudiced.
The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the
defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified
Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other
responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the
Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such
claim
through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party's approval
of
such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be
bound
by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying
Party
shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation
with
the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief
or
which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed
to
without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall
not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). So long as the Indemnifying Party is
diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party
may
pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party
will
not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified
Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, due to conflicts
of
interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election,
or
having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified
Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party
may
(after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the
Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle
such
claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any
defense
or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect
to
such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate
with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over
the
defense of any such claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in defending
such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation
and such access to its books, records and properties (subject to the execution
of appropriate non-disclosure agreements) as the Indemnifying Party shall
reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is
sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other
in
order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.
-
-
-
24
-
With
regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable
hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon
the
earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified
Party
and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5)
days
prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the
judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision
against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the
Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying
Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable
hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying
Party
upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

6.3 Amendments;

provision of this Agreement may be amended except in a written instrument
signed
by the Company and the Purchasers purchasing at least a majority of the Shares
purchased under this Agreement (subject to proportionate adjustment for any
stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization,

Stock, occurring after the date hereof), provided that (i) any amendment
that
affects the rights hereunder of any Purchaser in an adverse manner different
from the rights of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent
of such Purchaser, and (ii) the Company may not pay any consideration to
any
Purchaser in connection with any such amendment unless it contemporaneously
pays
the same amount and type of consideration to all Purchasers. No provision
of
this Agreement may be waived except by the party hereto against whom enforcement
of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be a
continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or
a
waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall
any
delay or omission of any party hereto to exercise any right hereunder in
any
manner impair the exercise of any such right.

headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language

6.5 Successors
and Assigns.
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights
under this Agreement to any Person in accordance with the terms hereof, provided
such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Shares, by the provisions hereof that apply to the Purchasers.
6.6 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries.
This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any
provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set

6.7 Governing
Law.
All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced
in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard
to
the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
6.8
Jurisdiction;
Venue; Service of Process.
This
Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx of New York, and if such court does not have proper
jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York. The parties
hereto
agree that any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be
deemed
to be a breach occurring in the State of New York by virtue of a failure
to
perform an act required to be performed in the State of New York and irrevocably
and expressly agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx of New York, and if such court does not have proper
jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York, for the purpose
of
resolving any disputes among the parties hereto relating to this Agreement
or
the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereto irrevocably waive,
to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, or any judgment entered by any court
in
respect hereof brought in New York County, New York, and further irrevocably
waive any claim that any suit, action or proceeding brought in Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx of New York, and if such court does not have proper
jurisdiction, the State Courts of New York County, New York, has been brought
in
an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto consents to process being
served in any such suit, action or proceeding, by mailing a copy thereof
to such
party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and
agrees
that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process
and
notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 6.8 shall affect or limit any right
to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
-
-
-
27
-
6.9
Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when taken together
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when
counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other
parties hereto, it being understood that the parties hereto need not sign
the
same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile
transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation
of the
party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same
force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original
thereof.
6.10 Severability.
If
any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and
the
parties hereto will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision
that
is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate
such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.11 Replacement
of Share Certificates.
If
any
certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen
or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction
and
customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested by the Company.
6.12 Remedies.
In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted
by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company
will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The
parties
hereto agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance
of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
-
-
-
28
-
6.13 Payment
Set Aside.
To
the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent permissible under
applicable law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.
6.14 Independent
Nature of Purchasers' Obligations and Rights.
The
obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several
and not
joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall
be
responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in
any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto,
shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Each
Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of the Transaction
Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined
as
an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
6.15 Waiver
of Trial by Jury.
THE
PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
6.16 Further
Assurances.
Each
party hereto agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties hereto and
to
execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such
further written assurances as may be reasonably requested by any other party
hereto to better evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and
contemplated hereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of
this
Agreement, and further agrees to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all
actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper
or advisable under applicable law to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated hereby, to obtain all necessary waivers, consents
and
approvals, to effect all necessary registrations and filings, and to remove
any
injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, in order
to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
for the purpose of securing to the parties hereto the benefits contemplated
by
this Agreement.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the
date
first above written.
