(a) Organization
and Qualification. The Company is a corporation, duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Indiana, with
the
requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and
assets
and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company has no

corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under

laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with the full corporate power
and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is
duly
qualified
to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes
such
qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in
good
standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have
a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects,
or
financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole
(a
“Material Adverse Effect”).
(b) Authorization,
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority
to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by
each
other Transaction Document and to otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
each
of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Company
and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have
been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. Each
of this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
has
been or will be duly executed by the Company and when delivered in accordance
with the terms hereof or thereof will constitute the valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating
to,
or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by
other equitable principles of general application.
(c) Capitalization.
The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is set
forth
on Schedule
3.1(c).
No
shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive or similar rights, nor
is any
holder of the Common Stock entitled to preemptive or similar rights arising
out
of any agreement or understanding with the Company by virtue of this Agreement.
Except as described in this Agreement, or disclosed in Schedule 3.1(c),
there
are no outstanding options, voting agreements or merger agreements,
arrangements, warrants, script, rights to subscribe to, registration rights,
calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or, except
as a
result of the purchase and sale of the Debenture hereunder, securities, rights
or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any person
any
right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or other
securities, or contracts,
6
commitments,
understandings, or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is
or may
become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock or other securities,
or
securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock
or
other securities. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation
of any
of the provisions of its respective Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws
or
other charter documents.
(d) Issuance
of Securities. The Debenture and the Warrant have been duly and validly
authorized for issuance, offer and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, the
Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares when issued and delivered as provided
hereunder or in the Debenture and Warrant against payment in accordance with
the
terms hereof, shall be valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms. The Company
has
and at all times while the Debenture and the Warrant are outstanding will
continue to maintain an adequate reserve of shares of Common Stock to enable
it
to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Warrant and the Debenture
except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, the Warrant or the Debenture.
When issued in accordance with the terms hereof, the Securities will be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set
forth
in Schedule 3.1(d)
or
Schedule
3.1(c)
hereto,
there is no equity, equity equivalent security, debt or equity lines of credit
outstanding that is substantially similar to the Debenture, including any
security having a floating conversion rate; provided, however, that, except,
as
otherwise provided herein, nothing contained in this Section 3.1(d)
shall
be deemed to permit the Company to issue any convertible security or instrument
or equity line of credit.
(e) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the
other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not
(i) conflict with or violate any provision of its Certificate of
Incorporation or bylaws (each as amended through the date hereof) or
(ii) be subject to obtaining any of the consents referred to in Section
3.1(f), conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice
or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any
agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or its Subsidiaries
is a
party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order,
judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental
authority to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is subject (including,
but
not limited to, those of other countries and the federal and state securities
laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or
its
Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clause (ii),
such
conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations
and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being
conducted in violation of its respective certificate of incorporation or
bylaws
or in any material respect of any law, ordinance or regulation of any
governmental authority.
(f) Consents
and Approvals. Other than the approval of its board of directors, which has
been
obtained, and its stockholders, if required, which has also been obtained,
and
except as specifically set forth in
Schedule 3.1(f),

the Company nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court

other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other
7
Person

connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
this
Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents (together with the
consents, waivers, authorizations, orders, notices and filings referred to
in
Schedule 3.1(f),
the
“Required Approvals”).
(g) Litigation;
Proceedings. Except as specifically disclosed in
Schedule 3.1(g),
there
is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending
or,
to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any
of
its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties before or by any court,
governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state,
county, local or foreign) which (i) relates to or challenges the legality,
validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents, the Debenture,
the Warrant, the Underlying Shares or the Warrant Shares (ii) could,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii)
could,
individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations
under the Transaction Documents.
(h) No
Default or Violation. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(h)
hereto,
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in vio-lation
of any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound,
except
such defaults or violations as do not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii)
is in
violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, except
for
such violations as do not have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) is in
violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority

validity or enforceability of this Agreement, (y) have a Material Adverse
Effect
or (z) adversely impair the Company’s ability or obligation to perform fully on
a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement.
(i) Certain
Fees. No fees or commission will be payable by the Company to any investment
banker, broker, placement agent or bank with respect to the consummation
of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except for the fees payable to
Strasbourger.
(j) Disclosure
Documents. The Disclosure Documents taken as a whole are accurate in all
material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or
omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(k) Manner
of
Offering. Assuming the Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in
Section 3.2 are true and correct, the Securities are being offered and sold
to
the Purchaser without registration under the Securities Act in a private
placement that is exempt from registration pursuant Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act to Rule 506 of Regulation D.
(l) Non-Registered
Offering. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has taken
or
will take any action (including, without limitation, any offering of any
securities of the Company under circumstances which would require the
integration of such offering with the offering of the Securities under the
Securities Act) which might subject the
8
offering,
issuance or sale of the Securities to the registration requirements of Section
5
of the Securities Act.
(m) No
Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement, there are no material liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary,

or
warranty with respect to itself or the transactions contemplated hereby other

jurisdiction. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Purchaser and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms, except as
such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally
the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies or by other general principles
of equity.
(b) Investment
Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Debenture and the Warrant to be purchased
by it hereunder, and will acquire the Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares
relating to such Debenture and the Warrant, for its own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such
Debenture, Underlying Shares, Warrant or Warrant Shares or any part thereof
or
interest therein, without prejudice, however, to the Purchaser’s right, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose
of all or any part of such Debenture, Underlying Shares, Warrant or Warrant
Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
The
Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities with the funds of any other Person
nor acting as an underwriter or a conduit for the sale of the Securities
to the
public or to others. The Purchaser is not a member of the NASD and
9
for
a
period of 12 months prior to the date of this Agreement, has not been affiliated
or associated with any company, firm, or other entity that is a member of
the
NASD.
(c) Purchaser
Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Debenture to be acquired
by it
hereunder, it was, at the date hereof it is and at the Closing it will be
an
“accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act.
(d) Experience
of Purchaser. The
Purchaser, either alone or together with his representatives, has such
knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
so as
to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Securities to be acquired by Purchaser hereunder, and has obtained, in his
or
her own judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate such
merits and risks. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about and experienced in
investments in the equity securities of non-publicly traded companies.
(e) Ability
of Purchaser to Bear Risk of Investment. The
Purchaser understands that there is no assurance as to the viability or future
performance of the Company. The Purchaser recognizes that an investment in
the
Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk including, but
not
limited to, the risk of economic losses from operations of the Company and
the
potential loss of investment. The Purchaser understands that no market for
the
Securities exists and none may develop in the future. The Purchaser is able
to
bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities to be acquired
by him
or her hereunder and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss
of
such investment. The commitment
of the Purchaser to investments which are not readily marketable or transferable
is not disproportionate to the net worth of the Purchaser, and
investment in the Securities will
not
cause such commitment to become excessive.
The
Purchaser has no need for liquidity with respect to the Securities.
(f) Prohibited
Transactions. The Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser hereunder are
not
being acquired, directly or indirectly, with the assets of any “employee benefit
plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employment Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended.
(g) Access
to
Information. The Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Disclosure Documents
and
further acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask
such
questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from,
representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the
Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii)
access
to information about the Company and the Company’s financial condition, results
of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient
to
enable it to evaluate its investment in the Securities; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information which the Company possesses
or
can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make
an
informed investment decision with respect to the investment and to verify
the
accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the Disclosure
Documents. The
Purchaser represents that all of his questions concerning the Company and
the
Securities have been answered to his full satisfaction.
(h) Reliance.
The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that (i) the Securities being
offered
and sold to it hereunder are being offered and sold without registration
10
under
the
Securities Act in a private placement that is exempt from the registration
provisions of the Securities Act under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation
D
and (ii) the availability of such exemption depends in part on, and that
the
Company will rely upon the accuracy and truthfulness of, the foregoing
representations and the Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.
(i) Investment
Decision. Except for the Disclosure Documents, the Purchaser has not received
or
relied on any representation or warranty from the Company or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or other representatives
(including, but not limited to, any representations or warranties from
Strasbourger) in respect of Purchaser’s investment in the Securities, and has
relied upon his own investigation in evaluating the risks and merits of making
a
decision to purchase the Securities. The Purchaser has had the opportunity
to
discuss the consequences of his investment decision with his legal and tax
advisors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding
any other representation or warranty made by the Company, Purchaser acknowledges
that the Company has made any representation or warranty with respect to
any
projections, estimates, or budgets of future revenues, expenses, or expenditures
or future results of operations.
(j) Transferability
of Securities. Purchaser acknowledges that the transferability of the Securities
is severely limited and that the Purchaser must continue to bear the economic
risk of this investment for an indefinite period as these Securities have
not
been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities law in
reliance on an exemption therefrom for transactions not involving a public
offering and, therefore, cannot be offered or sold without an effective
registration statement for such
Securities under the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws
or an
opinion of counsel for the Corporation that registration is not required
under
the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser makes no representations
or
warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those
specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.

necessary state filing or notice fees to enable the Company to sell the
Securities to the Purchaser.

shall 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 Securities in a manner
that
would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the
Securities to the Purchaser.
4.7 Furnishing
of Rule 144(c) Materials. The Company shall, for so long as any of the
Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company

any
prospective purchaser of such Securities from such Person, such information

as is
required to sell the Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the

a copy
of all financial statements for any period subsequent to the period covered

4.10 Prohibition
on Certain Actions. Until the earlier of (a) the full redemption, payment
or
conversion of the Debenture and the full exercise of the Warrant and (b)
the
Maturity Date of the Debenture, the Company shall not and shall cause the
Subsidiaries not to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser,

amend its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other charter

listing.
4.12
Conversion
and Exercise Procedures. The Debenture sets forth the procedures, including
the
form of Notice of Conversion to be provided upon conversion and such other
information and instructions as may be reasonable necessary to enable the
Holder
or its permitted transferee(s) to exercise the right of conversion smoothly
and
expeditiously. The Warrant sets forth the procedures, including the form
of
Notice of Exercise to be provided upon exercise and such other information
and
instructions as the case may be reasonably necessary to enable the Holder
or its
permitted transferee(s) to exercise the right of exercise smoothly and
expeditiously.
4.13 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
(i) The
Company shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, indemnify and
hold
harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors, agents, employees and
affiliates, each Person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each
such
Person, a “Control Person”) and the officers, directors, agents, employees and
affiliates of each such Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and
reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred,
arising out of, or relating to, a breach or breaches of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company under this Agreement or any
other
Transaction Document.
13
(ii) The
Purchaser shall, notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, indemnify
and
hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, agents and employees,
each
Control Person of the Company and the officers, directors, agents and employees
of each Control Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from
and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, or relating
to, a
breach or breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
by the
Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents; provided,
however, that such Losses shall for this Section 4.13(a)(ii) be limited to
the
Purchase Price.
(b) Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”),
such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity
is
sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of
any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and
only)
to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced
the
Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
Proceeding and to participate in, but not control, the defense thereof, but
the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified
Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such
fees
and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume
the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to
any
such Proceeding (including any impeded parties) include both such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been
advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the
same
counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
(in
which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in
writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of
the claim against the Indemnified Party but will retain the right to control
the
overall Proceedings out of which the claim arose and such counsel employed
by
the Indemnified Party shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying
Party
and shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying
Party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without
its written consent. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, provided,
however, the Indemnifying Party may settle or compromise any asserted liability
without the consent of the Indemnitee so long as such settlement or compromise
releases the Indemnitee and does not include any admission or statement of
fault
against the Indemnitee.
All
fees
and expenses of the Indemnified Party to which the Indemnified Party is entitled
hereunder (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred
in
connection
14
with
investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party.
No
right
of indemnification under this Section 4.13 shall be available as to a particular
Indemnified Party if there is a non-appealable final judicial determination
that
such Losses arise solely or substantially out of the negligence or bad faith
of
such Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified
Party
under this Agreement or a breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations
under this Agreement.
(c) Contribution.
If a claim for indemnification under Section 4.13(a) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless
for
any Losses in respect of which this Section 4.13 would apply by its terms
(other
than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 4.13), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified
Party on the other and the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions or omissions that resulted
in
such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined
by
reference to, among other things, whether there was a judicial determination
that such Losses arise in part out of the negligence or bad faith of the
Indemnified Party in performing the obligations of such Indemnified Party
under
this Agreement or the Indemnified Party’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses
shall
be deemed to include any attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have
been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for
in
this Section was available to such party.
(d) Non-Exclusivity.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition to any obligation or liability that the Indemnifying Parties may
have
to the Indemnified Parties.
4.14 Exclusivity.
Until all of the Debentures have been converted into common stock or retired
(the “Restriction Period”), the Company and its affiliates shall not issue or
offer any security that is senior or superior to the Debentures, except for
the
refinancing of the Company’s $3.0 million Credit Facility with MFB Financial, as
to payment, liquidation, dividend or collateral, without prior written consent
of the Agent. The Company shall not engage in any debt or equity financing
during the Restriction Period except as specifically set forth above. The
Company may request that the restrictions in this Section be waived.
4.15 No
Violation of Applicable Law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement
to
the contrary, if the redemption of the Debenture, the Warrant, the Warrant
Shares or the Underlying Shares otherwise required under this Agreement,
the
Warrant or the Debenture would be prohibited by the relevant provisions of
Indiana law, such redemption shall be effected as soon as it is permitted
under
such law.
15
4.16 Redemption
Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
if any redemption of the Debenture, the Warrant, the Warrant Shares or the
Underlying Shares otherwise required under this Agreement or the Debenture
would
be prohibited in the absence of consent from any lender to the Company, or
by
the holders of any class of securities of the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent
as
promptly as practicable after any such redemption is required. Nothing contained
in this Section 4.16 shall be construed as a waiver by the Purchaser of any
rights it may have by virtue of any breach of any representation or warranty
of
the Company herein as to the absence of any requirement to obtain any such
consent.
4.17 Merger
or
Consolidation. Until the earlier of (a) the full redemption, payment
or
conversion of the Debenture and the full exercise of the Warrant or (b) the
Maturity Date of the Debenture (as that term is defined in the Debenture),
the
Company and each Subsidiary will not, in a single transaction or a series
of
related transactions, (i) consolidate with or merge with or into any
other
Person, (ii) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge
into it,
or (iii) undergo a Change of Control unless (w) either (A) the Company shall
be
the survivor of such merger or consolidation or (B) the surviving Person
shall
expressly assume by supplemental agreement all of the obligations of the
Company
under the Debenture, the Warrant, this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents; (x) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to
such
transactions (including any indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred
in connection with the transactions), no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; (y) if the Company is not the surviving entity, such
surviving entity’s common shares will be listed on either The New York Stock
Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or the OTCBB on or prior to the closing of such transaction(s) and
(z)
the Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser an officer’s certificate and
opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer
complies with this Agreement, that the agreements relating to such
transaction(s) provide that the surviving Person agrees to be bound by this
Agreement and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement relating to
such
transaction(s) have been satisfied.
4.18 Liquidated
Damages. The Company understands and agrees that a material breach by the
Company of any Section of this Agreement or an Event of Default as contained
in
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document will result in substantial
economic loss to the Commander, which loss will be extremely difficult to
calculate with precision. Therefore, if, for any reason the Company commits
such
a material breach or fails to cure any Event of Default, as compensation
and
liquidated damages for such breach or default, and not as a penalty, the
Company
aggress to pay the Purchaser an amount equal to 150% of the outstanding
principal amount of any Debentures then held by the Purchaser and the Purchaser,
upon receipt of such payment, shall return any unconverted Debenture and
unexercised Warrant to the Company.
4.19
Company’s Right of Redemption. In addition to any right of the Company to redeem
any unconverted amount of the Debenture, the Company shall have any redemption
right set forth in the Debenture.
4.20
Reservation
of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to
at
all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, that
number
of shares of common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the
16
Debentures
are from time to time convertible and the Warrant are from time to time
exercisable unless a change is agreed to in writing by the Purchaser and
the
Company. If at any time the Company does not have available such shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion
of all of the Debentures of the Company and the exercise of all of the Warrants
shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within sixty (60)
days
of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares
authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote
in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.
Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock.

of Agent. In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, Strasbourger is hereby appointed to

Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes
the Agent to take such actions on behalf of the Purchaser and to exercise
such
powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms and provisions

to execute the Security Agreement and Subordination Agreement on behalf of
the

in performance or breach by the Purchaser of any of its obligations hereunder
or
to any Purchaser on account of the failure of or delay in performance or
breach
by any other Purchaser or the Company of any of their respective obligations
hereunder or in connection herewith. The Agent may execute any and all duties
hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely
upon
the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document and shall not be liable
for
any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice
of such counsel.
The
Purchaser hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take
any
discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions
of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
The
Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the
Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information
as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into
this Agreement. The Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently
and
without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or
based
upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder.
7.2 Notices.
The Agent shall transmit promptly to each Purchaser each notice received
by it
from the Company that the Company is not required to furnish to the Purchasers
and each of the Purchasers shall transmit promptly to the Agent each notice
received by it from the Company that is not otherwise required to be delivered
to the Agent by the terms hereof. The Agent shall be under no obligation
toward
any Purchaser to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance
of any
of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof to be performed or observed
by the
Company, but the Agent and each Purchaser shall promptly notify one another
of
any Event of Default of which it has actual notice.
Each
Purchaser expressly authorizes the Agent to collect all sums due such Purchaser
under the Transaction Documents. The Agent shall promptly disburse to the
Purchasers available funds received by it for the benefit of the
Purchasers.
7.3 Exculpation.
In exercising its duties and powers under the Transaction Documents, the
Agent
shall exercise the same care that it would exercise in dealing with loans
for
its own account, but neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or attorneys shall be responsible for the truth or accuracy of
any
representations or warranties given or made herein or for the validity,
effectiveness, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Documents, and the Agent or any of its directors, officers,
employees or attorneys shall not be liable to any of the Purchasers for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any of them under the Transaction
Documents, except in the case of its or their willful
19
misconduct
or gross negligence. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that
it
has made its own independent judgment with respect to entering into this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and undertaking its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The Purchaser also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser
and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. The powers conferred
by this
Agreement on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Purchasers’ interest
in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and shall not impose
any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe
custody
of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually
received by it under the Transaction Documents, the Agent shall have no duty
as
to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights
against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral. Neither
the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees (excluding any
independent contractors employed by the Agent) or attorneys shall have any
responsibility (1) to the Company on account of the failure or delay in
performance or breach of any Purchaser of any of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, or (2) to any Purchaser on account of the failure
of or
delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Debtors of any
of
their obligations under the Transaction Documents.
7.4 Reliance.
The Agent, as Agent hereunder:
(1) shall
be
entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document believed by
it to
be genuine or correct and to have been signed or sent by a person or persons
believed by it to be the proper person or persons;
(2) shall
be
entitled to consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and
other
professional advisers and experts selected by it, and shall not be liable
for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by Agent in accordance
with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts;
(3) makes
no
warranty or representation to any Purchaser and shall not be responsible
to any
Purchaser for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in
connection with the Transaction Documents;
(4) shall
not
have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Transaction Documents on
the
part of the Company or to inspect the property (including the books and records)
of the Company,
(5) shall
not
be responsible to any Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or venue of this Agreement or any
other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and
(6) shall
incur no liability under or in respect of the Transaction Documents by acting
upon notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may
be
by telegram, telecopier, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and
signed
or sent by the proper party or parties.
20
7.5 Expenses
and Indemnification. Each Purchaser agrees:
(1) to
reimburse the Agent, as agent hereunder, on demand, pro rata in accordance
with
its Debenture Percentage (as defined in the Security Agreement), for all
reasonable expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, operation and enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights
or
responsibilities under, this Agreement and any document delivered in connection
herewith, to the extent that such expenses are not timely reimbursed or
reimbursable by the Debtors, and
(2) to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its directors, officers
or
employees, on demand, pro rata in accordance with its Debenture Percentage,
from
and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent
in
any way relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents or any action
taken or omitted by the Agent under the Transaction Documents, to the extent
that expenses and costs incurred by it in connection with such liability
are not
reimbursed by the Company, provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for
any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.6 Other
Purchasers. None of the Purchasers shall be deemed to be agent of any other
Purchaser; none of such Purchasers or any of their respective directors,
officers or employees shall have any responsibility to the Company on account
of
the failure or delay in performance or breach of any other Purchaser of any
of
its obligations under the Transaction Documents or to any other Purchaser
on
account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other
Purchaser or the Company of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents.
7.7 Removal
or Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Purchasers and the Company and shall not be removed
and
upon any such resignation the Required Purchasers shall have the right to
appoint a successor Agent. "Required Purchasers" shall mean any Purchaser
or
Purchasers holding Debentures evidencing, in the aggregate, an amount equal
to
not less than 66% of the aggregate principal amount of all Debentures then
outstanding. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required
Purchasers, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30)
days
after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Required
Purchasers' removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance
by a
successor Agent of its appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall
be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.
After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.

Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.

8.10 Counterpart
Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all

and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and

not
sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by

In case any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid
or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining

enforceable provision which shall be a reasonable substitute therefore, and
upon

America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment
of
public or private debts. Interest shall accrue daily and shall be payable
on the
unpaid balance of said principal amount from time to time outstanding at
the
rate of six percent (6%) per annum; provided, however, that for the period

forth in
Section 3, to but not including the date such Event of Default is cured
or

annum.
This
Debenture is issued pursuant to a subordinated convertible debenture purchase
agreement between the Company and the Holder ("Purchase Agreement") and
is
secured by a second lien on certain collateral more specifically described

of
the Holder and Strasbourger Xxxxxxx Tulcin Xxxxx, Inc., as agent for holders
(the “Agent”), among others ("Security Agreement"), both of which are available

Purchase Agreement and the Security Agreement shall in no way impair the
absolute and unconditional obligation of the Company to pay both principal
and
interest hereon as provided herein, subject to the subordination provided
below.
1) Subordination.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of the
Company
created by this Debenture are subordinate in right of payment to any amounts

a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Industrial”), and MFB Financial
creating a $3 million credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). So long as the
Credit Facility is not in default and there is no condition, event or act
which,
with the giving of notice, passage of time or both, would constitute a
default,
the Company may make interest payments; provided however no principal payments
may be made without the prior consent of the lender of the Credit Facility.
The
Company reserves the right to refinance the obligations under the Credit
Facility with new lenders in amounts not to exceed the maximum amount permitted
under the existing Credit Facility. The Debentures without further action
on the
part of the holders or the Company will be subordinate to such new credit
facility.

or
premium, subject to the subordination in favor of the lender of the Credit

Registered Holders no less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five
(45)
days prior to the date set forth for redemption ("Redemption Date"). The

election
to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9.4 no less than ten
(10)
days prior to the Redemption Date. This Debenture shall be paid (and prepaid,

5) Conversion.
a) Right
to Convert.
Each
Holder may at any time and from time to time, commencing thirty (30) days
after
the original issuance of the Debenture, convert all or any amount of the
principal amount and accrued interest of the Debentures then owned by such
Holder into such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as is
equal to
the then-outstanding principal balance of this Debenture, divided by 0.3404926
(the “Conversion Formula”).
7
b) Mechanics
and Effect of Conversion.
In
order to convert the unpaid principal amount hereof and accrued interest
thereon
into shares of Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture,
with the
form of Notice of Conversion annexed to this Debenture completed and executed,
to the Company at its principal executive office. The Company shall, as
soon as
practicable, but not later than five (5) business days after the date of
receipt
of this Debenture, issue and deliver to a location in the United States
designated by the Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common
Stock
to which the Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall
be
deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on
the date
on which the written notice is received by the Company in accordance herewith
("Conversion Date"), and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as
the
record holder of such shares of Common Stock as of such Conversion
Date.
c) Issuance
of Common Stock.
All
Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Debenture will,
upon
issuance, be duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all
taxes,
liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. At all times that
any
Debentures are outstanding, the Company shall have authorized and shall
have
reserved for the purpose of issuance upon such conversion into Common Stock
of
all Debentures, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide
for the
conversion of all outstanding Debentures into the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the then effective Conversion Formula. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, if, at any time, the Conversion Formula is
decreased or increased, the number of shares of Common Stock authorized
and
reserved for issuance by the Company upon the conversion of the Debentures
shall
be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be.
d) Adjustments.
i) If
the
outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock shall be subdivided or
split
into a greater number of shares, or a dividend in Common Stock shall be
paid
8
in
respect of Common Stock, the denominator of the Conversion Formula in effect
immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend
shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or split
or
immediately after the record date of such dividend, be proportionately
adjusted.
If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reverse-split
into a smaller number of shares, the denominator of the Conversion Formula
in
effect immediately prior to such combination or reverse-split shall,
simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination or reverse-split,
be
proportionately adjusted. When any adjustment is required to be made in
the
denominator of the Conversion Formula, the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be changed to the
number
determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable
upon
the conversion of this Debenture immediately prior to such adjustment,
multiplied by the denominator of the Conversion Formula in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the denominator of the Conversion Formula
in
effect immediately after such adjustment.
ii) If
there
shall occur any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Company's
Common Stock (other than a change in par value or a subdivision or combination
as provided for in subsection (a) above), or the payment of a liquidating
distribution, then, as part of any such reorganization, reclassification
or
liquidating distribution, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder
of
this Debenture shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the conversion
hereof (to the extent, if any, still convertible) the kind and amount of
shares
of stock or other securities or property which such Holder would have been
entitled to receive if, immediately prior to any such reorganization,
reclassification or liquidating distribution, as the case may be, such
Holder
had held the number of shares of Common Stock which were then purchasable
upon
the conversion of this Debenture. In any such case, appropriate adjustment
(as
reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall be
made in
the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the
fights
and interests thereafter of the Holder of this Debenture such that the
provisions set forth in this Section 5.4 (including provisions with respect
to
adjustment of the denominator of the Conversion Formula) shall thereafter
be
applicable, as nearly as practicable, in relation to any shares of stock
or
other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion
of this
Debenture.
(c) No
adjustment in the Conversion Formula shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease in the denominator of the Conversion
Formula of at least .00001; provided, however, that any adjustments which
by
reason of this paragraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under
this
Section 5.4 shall be made to the nearest share.
(d) Upon
the
happening of any event requiring an adjustment of the Conversion Formula
hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give written notice thereto to the
Holder
of this Debenture stating the adjusted Conversion Formula and the adjusted
number of shares purchasable upon the conversion hereof resulting from
such
event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation
and the
facts upon which such calculation is based.
9
e) Fractional
Shares.
The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares of Common Stock
upon
conversion. If any fractions of a share would, but for this Section 5.5,
be
issuable upon any conversion, in lieu of such fractional share the Company
shall
round up or down to the nearest whole number of shares, with a fraction
of ½
being rounded up.
6. Noncircumvention.
The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company and its subsidiaries
will
not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through
any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of
arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary
action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms
of this Debenture, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of
the
provisions of this Debenture and take all action as may be required to
protect
the rights of the Holder of this Debenture.
7.

Rights.

Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Debenture, except
as
required by law, including but not limited to the Indiana Business Corporation

MAGNETECH
INTEGRATED SERVICES CORP.
WARRANT
TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
Magnetech
Integrated Services Corp., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”),
for
value received, hereby issues to ____________________ (the “Holder”)
this
Warrant (the “Warrant”)
to
purchase _______ shares (each such share being a “Warrant
Share”
and all
such shares being the “Warrant
Shares”)
of the
Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), at the Exercise Price (as defined
below), as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, on or before
[________],
2010
(the
“Expiration
Date”),
all
subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant is issued
in
connection with the Company’s issuance of a Subordinated Secured Convertible
Debenture (the
“Debenture”)
to the
initial Holder (the “Initial
Holder”)
pursuant to the terms of a Subordinated Convertible Debenture Purchase
Agreement
dated ________________,
2005
between the Initial Holder of this Warrant and the Company (the “Purchase
Agreement”).
As
used
in this Warrant, (i) “Common
Stock”
means
the common stock of the Company, no par value per share, and such other
securities as such class of common stock may be converted from time
to time in
the future; and (ii) “Exercise
Price”
means
$.001, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Any other terms used
but not
otherwise defined in this Warrant shall have the meanings provided
in the
Purchase Agreement.
1. DURATION
AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
(a) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant on any business day on or before 5:00
P.M., New
York Time, on [________], 2010 (the “Expiration
Date”),
at
which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.
(b) While
this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with
Section
1(a),
the
Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part by:
(i) surrender
of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise
attached as
Exhibit
A,
to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other
office or
agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and
(ii) either
(A) payment of the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number
of Warrant
Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant in lawful money
of the
United States of America or (B) notice by the Holder of its election
to exercise
this Warrant on a cashless basis in the manner described in Section
1(c).
Upon
the
exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this
Section 1(b)
the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder
a
certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise
of
this Warrant shall be effected immediately prior to the close of business
on the
date (the “Date
of Exercise”)
which
the conditions set forth in Section 1(b)(i) and (ii) have been
satisfied.
(c) In
lieu
of paying the Exercise Price upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder
may elect
to exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis in which case the number
of Warrant
Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of the Warrant shall be reduced
by the
number of Warrant Shares with an aggregate Market Price as of the Date
of
Exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the total number
of Warrant
Shares which the Holder has elected to exercise pursuant to this Warrant,
as
specified in the Notice of Exercise. The “Market
Price”
shall
be equal to the market price of the common stock issuable upon conversion
of the
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant as determined
in good
faith by the board of directors of the Company. If the Holder objects
to such
determination by notice to the Company within twenty (20) days of receipt
of the
Company's determination, then the Market Price shall be equal to the
fair value
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares deter-mined
by a
recognized independent investment banking or
-2-
accounting
firm (selected by the Company and reason-ably acceptable to the Holder)
as of a
date which is within thirty (30) days of the date as of which the determination
is to be made (the fees and expenses of such independent firm to be
paid by the
Holder unless such firm determines a Market Price for the Warrant Shares
is at
least 5% higher than the price determined by the directors
determination).
(d) This
Warrant shall be exercisable, either as an entirety or, from time to
time, for
part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant.
If this
Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense,
a new
Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such
reduced
number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to this Warrant.
2. ISSUANCE
OF WARRANT SHARES
(a) The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance
with
the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and
non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security
interests.
(b) The
Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by
the Company
for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from
time to
time. The Com-pany may deem and treat the registered Holder of this
Warrant as
the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof,
any
distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.
(c) The
Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation,
by-laws or
through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to
be observed
or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good
faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and
in the
taking of all the action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
to protect
the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant.
3. ADJUSTMENTS
OF EXERCISE PRICE, NUMBER AND TYPE OF WARRANT SHARES
(a) The
Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this
Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence
of
certain events described in this Section 3(a).
(i) Subdivision
or Combination of Stock.
In case
the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
Stock
into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior
to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely,
in case
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined
into a
smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such
combination shall be proportionately increased.
-3-
(ii) Dividends
in Stock, Property, Reclassification.
If at
any time or from time to time the Holders of Common Stock (or any shares
of
stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise
of this
Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without
payment
therefore:
(A) any
shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly
or indirectly
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or
options to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by
way of
dividend or other distribution, or
(B) additional
stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spin-off,
split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate
rearrangement, (other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock
split or
adjustments in respect of which shall be covered by the terms of Section
3(a)(i)
above),
then
and
in each such case, the Holder hereof shall, upon the exercise of this
Warrant,
be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common
Stock
receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including
cash
in the cases referred to in clause (ii) above) which such Holder would
hold on
the date of such exercise had he been the holder of record of such
Common Stock
as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became
entitled to
receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities
and
property.
(iii) Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
If any
recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital
stock of the
Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another
corporation,
or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction
shall
be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled
to
receive stock, securities, or other assets or property (an “Organic
Change”),
then,
as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provisions
shall be
made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have
the right to
purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of
the Company
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise
of the
rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities
or other
assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in
exchange
for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the
number of
shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable
assuming
the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the
event of any
Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company
with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end
that the
provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments
of
the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable
upon
the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation
to any
shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the
exercise
hereof. The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger
or sale
unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation
(if other
than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or the corporation
purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Holders executed and mailed
or
delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such
Holder
appearing on the books of
-4-
the
Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock,
securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such
Holder may be entitled to purchase.
(b) Certificate
as to Adjustments.
Upon
the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this
Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute
such
adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and
furnish to
each holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment
or
readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment
or
readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request,
at any time,
of any such holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder
a like
certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments;
and
(ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property
which
at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.
(c) Notice
of Record Date.
In the
event of any taking by the Company of a record of its stockholders
for the
purpose of determining stockholders who are entitled to receive payment
of any
dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase
or
otherwise acquire any share of any class or any other securities or
property, or
to receive any other right, or for the purpose of determining stockholders
who
are entitled to vote in connection with any proposed merger or consolidation
of
the Company with or into any other corporation, or any proposed sale,
lease or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
or any
proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
Company
shall deliver a written notice to Holder, at the same time such notice
is
delivered to other stockholders, specifying the date on which any such
record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or
other
event, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution,
right or
other event.
(d) Certain
Events.
If any
event occurs as to which, in the opinion of the Company, the other
provisions of
this Section
3
are not
strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not in the
opinion of
the Company fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under
this Warrant
in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions,
or if
strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of
the Holder
under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles
of such
provisions, then the Company shall make the any adjustments which the
board of
directors described therein.
4. TRANSFERS
AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES
(a) Registration
of Transfers and Exchanges.
Upon
the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the
Assignment Notice attached as Exhibit
B,
to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other
office or
agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Com-pany
shall
register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such
registration of trans-fer the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in
substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition
rights
transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar form, evidencing
the
remaining acquisition rights not transferred, to the Holder requesting
the
transfer.
(b) Warrant
Exchangeable for Different Denominations.
The
Holder may exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant or Warrants, in
sub-stantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing in the
-5-
aggregate
the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be
purchased
hereunder, each of such new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange
and
to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as
shall be
desig-nated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant
with duly
executed instructions regarding such re-certification of this Warrant
to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other
office or
agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder.
(c) Restrictions
on Transfers.
This
Warrant may not be transferred at any time without (i) registration
under the
Act or (ii) a written opinion of legal counsel addressed to the Company
that the
proposed transfer of the Warrant may be effected without registration
under the
Act, which opinion will be in form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
the Company.
5. MUTILATED
OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE
If
this
Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon request by the
Holder, the
Company will issue, in exchange for and upon cancellation of the mutilated
Warrant, or in substitution for the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant,
a new
Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, representing the
right to
acquire the equivalent number of Warrant Shares, provided however,

prerequisite to the issuance of a substitute Warrant, the Company may
require
satisfactory evidence of loss, theft or destruction as well as an indemnity
from
the Holder of a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant.
6. PAYMENT
OF TAXES
The
Company will pay all transfer and stock issuance taxes attributable
to the
preparation, issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant
Shares

holder
of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or
be deemed the
holder of any other securities of the Company which may at any time
be issuable

to
confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, the rights
of a
stockholder of the Company or the right to vote for the election of
directors or
upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or
give or
withhold
-6-
consent
to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings or other actions
affecting stockholders (except as provided herein), or to receive dividends
or

1.2 Piggyback
Registration.
(a) The
Company and the Holder agree that the Registrable Securities will be included
in
the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement anticipated to be prepared by
counsel to the Company, which filing the Company agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts to make not later than April 30, 2005 and to cause to be declared
effective not later than 135 days from the date hereof. The Company and
the
Holder have further agreed that such inclusion will satisfy the registration
rights given to Holder pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
such
inclusion satisfies such obligation only if the registration statement
is
declared effective not later than 165 days from the date hereof; provided
however,
if the
Company has not filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement that includes the
Registrable Securities by April 30, 2005, for each thirty (30) days that
such
Form S-1 is not filed the Company shall pay the Holders liquidated damages
equal
to one percent (1%) of the total issued share capital of the Company in
Common
Stock. With respect to the aforementioned liquidated damage award, each
Holder
shall receive shares of Common Stock, pro rata, based on the number of
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if
the Company shall furnish to Holders a certificate signed by the Chief
Executive
Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board
of
Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company
and
its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed owing to a
material
pending transaction or other issue and it is therefore essential to defer
the
filing of such registration statement, the Company shall not be required
to pay
such liquidated damages. In addition, the Holder acknowledges that the
Company
has granted registration rights to the purchasers (the “Prior Purchasers”) of
its securities in certain prior private offerings. The Holder’s Registrable
Securities may be included in any registration filed pursuant to this Section
1.2 only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce
the
amount of the
2
Registrable
Securities of the Prior Purchasers which is included in such registration
statement. Moreover, the Holder may not seek to cause the Company to make
a
demand registration which could result in such registration statement being
declared effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth
in
subsection 1.2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company
and
the Prior Purchasers (the “Prior Registration Agreement”) or within one hundred
twenty (120) days of the effective date of any registration effected pursuant
to
Section 1.2 of the Prior Registration Agreement.
1.3 Demand
Registration
(a) In
the
event that the S-1 Registration Statement is not filed by the Company by
April
30, 2005 pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, a Holder or Holders shall be entitled
to initiate registration request hereunder (“Initiating
Holders) The
Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company in writing that the Company
file
a registration statement under the Act registering the Registrable Securities.
The Company shall file a Form S-1 Registration Statement no later than
45 days
from the date of such registration request and be declared effective not
later
than 90 days from the date thereof. The Company and the Holder shall further
agree that such filing will satisfy the piggyback registration rights given
to
Holder pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such inclusion
satisfies such obligation only if the registration statement is declared
effective not later than 90 days from the date of the request from the
Initiating Holders.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration
statement pursuant to this Section 1.3, a certificate signed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment
of the
Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to
the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed
owing
to a material pending transaction and
it is
therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement,
the
Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing
for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of
the
Initiating Holders.
(c) In
addition, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any
action to
effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3
in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute
a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service
in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act.
1.4 Obligations
of the Company.
Whenever
required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) Prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable
Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement
to
become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of
the
Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement
effective until the Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been
sold
by the Holders (or such shorter period as the Holders may consent to in
writing).
(b) Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement
as
3
may
be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by such registration
statement.
(c) Furnish
to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use
its
best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions
as
shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided
that
the
Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto
to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process
in
any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject
to
service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the
Act.
(e) In
the
event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
with
the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in
such
underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such
an
agreement.
(f) Notify
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under
the Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus
included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in
light of the circumstances then existing.
(g) Use
its
best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder
to be
listed on the securities exchange or Nasdaq trading system on which similar
securities of the Company are then listed or trade.
(h) Furnish,
at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 1, on the date that such Registrable Securities
are
delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration
pursuant to this Section 1, if such securities are being sold through
underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters,
on
the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities
becomes
effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing
the
Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as
is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration
of
Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is
customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters
in
an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any,
and to
the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.
4
1.5 Furnish
Information.
It shall
be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any
action
pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of
any
selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended
method
of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
1.6 Expenses
of Registration.
(a) Demand
Registration. All
expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section
1.3, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification
fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the
Company
shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding
begun pursuant to Section 1.3 if the registration request is subsequently
withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities to be registered (in which case all participating holders shall
bear
such expenses), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section
1.3;
provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the
Holders
have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or
prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of
their
request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following
disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders
shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their
rights
pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3.
(b) Piggyback
Registration.
All
expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in
connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable
Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Section 1.2 for
each
Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 1.11, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees,
printers
and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by them,
but
excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable
Securities shall be borne by the Company.
1.7 Underwriting
Requirements.
In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the
Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 1.2 to
include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by
the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount
of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then
the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of
such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering
(the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall
mutually
be agreed to by such selling stockholders) but in no event shall (i) the
amount
of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced
below
fifty percent of the total amount of securities included in such offering,
or
(ii)
5
notwithstanding
(i) above, any shares being sold by a stockholder exercising a demand
registration right similar to that granted in Section 1.2 be excluded from
such
offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment,
for any selling stockholder which is a holder of Registrable Securities
and
which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and
stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such
partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of
the
foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder”, and any
pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned
by all
entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder”, as defined in
this sentence.
1.8 Delay
of Registration.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining
or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy
that
might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Section
1.
1.9 Indemnification.
In the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement
under
this Section 1:
(a) To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each
person,
if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the
Act or
the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint
or
several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or
other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):
(i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
(ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the
1934
Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under
the
Act; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling
person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action; provided,
however,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(a) shall not apply
to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which
consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in
any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent
that
it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance
upon and
in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection
with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling
person.
(b) To
the
extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed
the
registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the
meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities
in such
registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter
or
other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint
or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under
6
the
Act,
the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or
are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with
such
registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or
other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection 1.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending
any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided,
however,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 1.9(b) shall not apply
to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which
consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
that,
in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.9(b) exceed the
net
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case
of
willful fraud by such Holder.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice
of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying
party under this Section 1.9, 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 the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided,
however,
that an
indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may
be
represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain
one
separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained
by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party 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, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
under
this Section 1.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have
to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.9.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of
competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to
any loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on
the one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided
that in
no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this subsection 1.9(d)
exceed
the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder or the amount
such
person would have been obligated to pay if indemnification had been available.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party
shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material
fact
relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by
7
the
indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control
for the
parties to that agreement.
(f) The
obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive
the
completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration
statement
under this Section 1, and otherwise.
1.10 Reports
Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any
time
permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:
(a) make
and
keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in
SEC Rule 144, at all times so long as the Company remains subject to the
periodic reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934
Act;
(b) file
with
the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the
Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish
to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied
with
the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144, the Act and the 1934 Act, (ii)
a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such
other
reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information
as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation
of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration
or pursuant to such form.
8
1.11 Assignment
of Registration Rights.
The
rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant
to this
Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a
Holder to
a transferee or assignee of such securities that is an affiliate (as such
term
is
defined in Rule 405 of the Act) of the Holder, provided:
(a) the
Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with
written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b)
such
transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to
the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions
of
Section 1.13 below;
and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following
such
transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or
assignee is restricted under the Act. For the purposes of determining the
number
of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the
holdings of transferees and assignees of a partnership who are partners
or
retired partners of such partnership (including spouses and ancestors,
lineal
descendants and siblings of such partners or spouses who acquire Registrable
Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together
and with the partnership; provided that all assignees and transferees who
would
not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have
a
single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving
notices or taking any action under this Section 1.
1.12 Limitations
on Subsequent Registration Rights.
From and
after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable
Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder
of
any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective
holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section
1.2 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective
holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the
extent
that the inclusion of his securities will not reduce the amount of the
Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included or (b) to make
a demand
registration which could result in such registration statement being declared
effective prior to the earlier of either of the dates set forth in subsection
1.2(a) or within one hundred twenty (120) days of the effective date of
any
registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.13 Termination
of Registration Rights.
No
Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section
1
after the earlier of (i) five (5) years from the date hereof with respect
to
Demand Registration Rights, or (ii) such time as Rule 144 or another similar
exemption (without recourse to Rule 144(k) unless such Holder holds less
than or
equal to 2% of the Stock) under the Securities Act is available for the
sale of
all of such Holder’s shares during a three (3)-month period without
registration,

SECURITY AGREEMENT made the as of the 3rd day of March, 2005 by and
among
MAGNETECH
INTEGRATED SERVICES CORP., an
Indiana corporation (the “Company”),
MAGNETECH
INDUSTRIAL SERVICES, INC., an
Indiana corporation (“MIS”;
together, with the Company, the “Debtors”),
and
Strasbourger Xxxxxxx Tulcin Xxxxx, Inc., as agent for the Debenture holders
(the
"Agent").
W
I T N E S S E T H:
A. The
Company has issued an aggregate of $4,000,000 in 6% Subordinated Secured
Convertible Promissory Debentures (the “Debentures”)
to the
parties identified in Schedule “A” attached hereto (the “Lenders”)
pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated January 25, 2005.
B. The
Lenders have appointed the Agent to represent them and take all action under
the
Security Agreement for their benefit.
NOW
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as
follow:
1) Grant
of Security Interest.
In
order to secure the payment of indebtedness to the Lenders evidenced by the
Debentures, and any other obligation or liability of the Debtors to any Lender
under, pursuant to, or in connection with the Debentures, direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising
(hereinafter collectively called the "Obligations"),
the
Debtors hereby grant and convey to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
a
continuing security interest in and to the following property and assets
of the
Debtors, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, produced or created,
including, without limitation: a)
accounts
receivable, chattel paper, instruments, notes, drafts, acceptances and other
forms of instruments or obligations, now or hereafter owing to the Debtors,
whether arising from the sale of goods or rendition of services by the Debtors,
all of the Debtors rights in, to and under all purchase orders, now or hereafter
received by the Debtors for goods or services, and monies due or to become
due
to the Debtors under all contracts for the sale of goods or the performance
of
services by the Debtors (whether or not yet earned by performance), or in
connection with any other transaction (including, without limitation, the
right
to receive the Proceeds of said purchase orders and contracts), and collateral
security and guarantees of any kind given by any obligor with respect to
any of
the foregoing; b)
equipment and fixtures; c)
all
motor vehicles; d)
all
general intangibles; e)
documents; f)
all of
the Debtors’ inventory (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as,
from time to time, in effect in the State of Indiana; hereinafter, the
"Uniform
Commercial Code"),
including, without limitation, goods, merchandise and other personal property,
now or hereafter owned or acquired and wheresoever located, that are held
for
sale or lease or are furnished or to be furnished under a contract of service
or
are raw materials used or consumed or to be consumed in the Debtors' businesses,
and all additions and accessions thereto, and all returns and refunds applicable
thereto and the right to collect the same; g)
all
proceeds and products thereof, and all increases, substitutions, replacements,
additions and accessions thereto (all of the foregoing, hereinafter referred
to
collectively as the "Collateral").
The
security interest granted herein to Agent on behalf of the Lenders is for
the
ratable benefit of all Lenders and each Lender may realize upon the Collateral,
as set forth in Section 4 hereof, to the extent of its Debenture Percentage
(as
hereinafter defined), as computed from time to time. The amount of each Lender's
"Debenture Percentage" shall be the percentage computed by dividing the
Obligations owed to such Lender by the aggregate Obligations owed to all
Lenders.
2) Priority
of Lien.
The
Debtors represent and warrant to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders
that
(a) the lien granted by the Debtors to the Agent in the Collateral is a second
priority security interest subject only to (i) the encumbrances listed on
Schedule B hereto and (ii) the lien granted in favor of MFB Financial, pursuant
to a Commercial Security Agreement dated November 1, 2004 between MIS and
MFB
Financial, as security for a $3 million credit facility provided by MFB
Financial (the “Credit
Facility”).
The
encumbrances listed on Schedule B, together with the security interest in
favor
of MFB Financial, are referred to herein as the “Permitted Encumbrances.” The
lien granted herein shall also be subordinate to any refinancing of the Credit
Facility with a new lender, such subordination shall be up to the maximum
amount
permitted under the existing Credit Facility.
3) Covenants
of Debtors.
Subject
to the subordination provisions granted in favor of MFB Financial under the
Credit Facility (the “Subordination
Agreement”),
the
Debtors covenant and agree as follows:
a) To
pay
and perform all of the Obligations secured by this Agreement according to
their
terms.
b) To
pay
and perform all of the obligations secured by the Permitted Encumbrances
when
due.
c) To
take
all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend the title to the
Collateral against all persons and against all claims and demands
whatsoever.
d) On

execute any written agreement or do any other acts necessary to effectuate
the
purposes and provisions of this Agreement, execute any instrument or statement
required by law or otherwise in order to perfect, continue or terminate the
security interest of the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in the Collateral
and
pay all costs of filing in connection therewith.
e) To
keep
the Collateral, at the Debtors expense, in good repair and condition (reasonable
wear and tear excepted).
f) To
retain
possession of the tangible Collateral during the existence of this Agreement
at
their respective operating locations and not to remove, sell, exchange, assign,
loan, deliver, lease, license, further mortgage or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral (other than inventory sold or receivables collected in the ordinary
course of business) without the prior written consent of the Agent.
g) To
keep
the Collateral free and clear of all encumbrances, other than the security
interest granted hereby and the Permitted Encumbrances.
h) To
pay,
when due, all taxes, assessments and license fees relating to the Collateral
except as same may be contested by the Debtors in good faith by proper
proceedings and providing adequate reserves for the accrual of same are
maintained if required by generally accepted accounting principles.
i) To
keep
the Collateral and records relating to the Collateral available for inspection
by the Agent at all reasonable times during normal business hours.
2
j) To
keep
the Collateral insured against loss by fire, theft and other casualties,

The Debtors shall give prompt written notice to the Agent and to insurers
of
loss or damage to the Collateral and shall promptly file proofs of loss with
insurers. The Debtor shall name the Agent as a loss payee under such insurance
as its interest may appear. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement,
the Debtor is delivering to the Agent a certificate or other document from
the
insurer evidencing Agent’s loss payee status and the commitment to give the
Agent thirty (30) days notice prior to cancellation of the policy.
k) To
comply
with the material terms and conditions of any leases covering the premises
wherein the Collateral is located and any material orders, ordinances, laws
or
statutes of any city, state or governmental department having jurisdiction
with
respect to such premises or the conduct of business thereon, except if the
failure to comply therewith would not result in the termination of any such
lease or the inability of the Debtors to operate its business
thereon.
l) To
promptly advise the Agent in writing prior to any change in the location
of
Debtors' place of business and chief executive office in order to permit
the
Agent to take such actions as it may deem necessary or advisable to protect
and
preserve the security interests of the Lender.
4) Financing

Financing Statements and all other documents necessary to perfect the security
interest in the Collateral granted herein, and to file Form UCC-3 Amendments,
Releases and Termination Statements and all other documents

b) Upon
any
default by the Debtors hereunder, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, subject
to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, shall have all the rights, remedies
and privileges with respect to repossession, retention and sale of any or
all of
the Collateral of the Debtors and disposition of the proceeds as are accorded
by
the applicable sections of the Uniform Commercial Code.
c) Upon
any

assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at the place and
at
the time designated in the demand.
d) If
the
Debtors shall default in the performance of any of the provisions of this
Agreement on the Debtors part to be performed, the Agent may perform same
for
the Debtors’ account. Any monies expended in so doing and the reasonable
attorneys' fees and the legal and other expenses for pursuing, searching
for,
receiving, taking, keeping, storing, advertising for the sale of and selling
the
Collateral incurred by the Agent, shall be chargeable with interest to the
Debtors and added to the Obligations owed to the Lenders that are secured
hereby, ratably according to their respective Loan Percentage.
6) The
Agent
a) Authorization.
(1) Each
Lender has irrevocably authorized the Agent, as agent hereunder, to take
such
action on its behalf and as its agent under this Agreement, the Debenture
executed in favor of such Lender and all other documents executed in connection
therewith (collectively, the "Loan Documents"), and to exercise such powers
as
are specifically delegated to it hereunder and thereunder, including, without
limitation, powers with respect to the enforcement and collection of the
Obligations, and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; provided, however, that the Agent shall not, without the express
authorization of the Required Lenders, be authorized to waive any payment
default under the Debentures.
(2) Except
as
set forth in subparagraph (1) hereinabove, the Agent shall not be required
to
but may, in its sole discretion, exercise any discretion or take any action,
but
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected
in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided,
however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes
the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or
applicable law.
b) Notices.
(1) The
Agent
shall transmit promptly to each Lender each notice received by it from the
Debtors hereunder that the Debtors is not required to furnish to the Lenders
and
each of the Lenders shall transmit promptly to the Agent each notice received
by
it from the Debtors that is not otherwise required to be delivered to the
Agent
by the terms hereof. The Agent shall be under no obligation toward any Lender
to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions
4
hereof
to
be performed or observed by the Debtors, but the Agent and each Lender shall
promptly notify one another of any Event of Default of which it has actual
notice.
(2) Each
Lender expressly authorizes the Agent to collect all sums due such Lender
under
the Loan Documents. The Agent shall promptly disburse to the Lenders (to
the
extent of their ratable interest therein according to the outstanding Loan
Percentage of each Lender) available funds received by it for the benefit
of the
Lenders.
c) Exculpation.
In
exercising its duties and powers hereunder, the Agent shall exercise the
same
care that it would exercise in dealing with loans for its own account, but
neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or attorneys
shall be responsible for the truth or accuracy of any representations or
warranties given or made herein or for the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency
or enforceability of this Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, and the
Agent
or any of its directors, officers, employees or attorneys shall not be liable
to
any of the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or any
of
them under the Loan Documents, except in the case of its or their wilful
misconduct or gross negligence. Each of the Lenders represents and warrants
to
the Agent that it has made its own independent judgment with respect to entering
into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and undertaking its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action
under
this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The powers conferred by this Agreement
on
the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Lenders' interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such
powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the
accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall
have no
duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees (excluding
any
independent contractors employed by the Agent) or attorneys shall have any
responsibility (1) to the Debtors on account of the failure or delay in

SUBORDINATION
AGREEMENT
THIS
AGREEMENT is made and entered into effective this 2nd day of March, 2005,
by and
between Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. (an Indiana corporation hereinafter
referred to as the “Borrower”), MFB Financial (hereinafter referred to as the
“Bank”) and the holder(s) of all or any portion of a subordinated secured
convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in an amount of up to $4,000,000.00
(with such holder(s) being referred to herein as the “Subordinating Party”),
acting by and through its/their duly authorized agent, Strasbourger Xxxxxxx
Tulcin Xxxxx, Inc. (the “Agent”).
W
I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS,
Borrower is presently, or will hereafter become, indebted to Subordinating
Party
pursuant to the Debenture (a true and accurate copy of the Debenture is attached
hereto as Exhibit “A”); and
WHEREAS,
Borrower and Subordinating Party have requested that Bank consent to the
issuance of the Debenture, but Bank is willing to so consent if, and only
if,
all of the indebtedness owing or to become owing by Borrower to Subordinating
Party, and all collateral for such indebtedness, are expressly subordinated
to
any and all indebtedness now or hereafter owing to Bank by Borrower and all
collateral therefor.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and provisions contained
herein,
and in order to induce Bank to consent to the Debenture, the parties agree
to as
follows:
1. For
purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
a.
|
“Bank”
shall mean and refer to MFB Financial, a banking institution with
its
principal place of business located in St. Xxxxxx County, Indiana,
as well
as to all related and affiliated financial institutions and entities,
as
well as to all successors, assigns and participants of MFB
Financial.
|
b.
|
“Superior
Indebtedness” shall mean and refer to any and all indebtedness and
obligations now or hereafter owing by Borrower to Bank, including,
but not
limited to, future advances, and all obligations of Borrower to
Bank under
any and all promissory notes, mortgages, security agreements, assignments,
leases, guaranties, and all other agreements or documents heretofore
or
hereafter executed by Borrower to or in favor of Bank, including
any and
all interest, late charges, prepayment premiums, and all other
amounts
accruing or payable under any such documents, including principal
and
interest accruing before or after commencement of any voluntary
or
involuntary bankruptcy or reorganization, insolvency or similar
proceedings regarding Borrower, whether such indebtedness or obligations
be direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or primary or secondary,
and all partial or full extensions, renewals or modifications thereof.
The
“Superior Indebtedness” shall specifically include, but not be limited to,
the indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank represented by a certain
promissory note dated November 1, 2004, in the original principal
amount
of $3,000,000.00, together with all renewals, extensions and modifications
thereof, as well as all accrued and accruing interest and costs
as
provided in paragraph 3.
|
1
c.
|
“Subordinated
Debt” shall mean any and all indebtedness and obligations now or hereafter
owing by Borrower to Subordinating Party, or any of them, including,
but
not limited to, future advances, and all obligations of Borrower
under any
and all notes, mortgages, security agreements, assignments, leases,
guaranties, and all other agreements or documents heretofore or
hereafter
executed by Borrower to or in favor of Subordinating Party, including
all
interest, late charges, prepayment premiums, and other amounts

in any such documents, and including principal and interest accruing
before or after commencement of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
or
reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings regarding Borrower,
whether such indebtedness or obligations be direct or indirect,

or contingent, or primary or secondary, and all partial or full
extensions, renewals or modifications thereof. The “Subordinated Debt”
shall specifically include, but not be limited to, the Debenture
and all
amounts owing thereunder, together with all renewals, extensions
and
modifications thereof.
|
d.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to,
subparagraph b of this paragraph, the amount of the Superior Indebtedness
which shall have priority pursuant hereto shall be limited to the
principal sum of $3,000,000.00, plus accrued and accruing interest
on said
principal sum and the costs described in paragraph 3 hereof unless
Agent,
on behalf of Subordinating Party, agrees in writing to a greater
amount.
Any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank in excess of said amount
($3,000,000.00 plus interest and costs) shall not be included in
the term
“Superior Indebtedness” for purposes of this Agreement. The remainder of
this Agreement shall be interpreted with the limitation contained
In this
subparagraph in mind and the provisions of this subparagraph shall
take
precedence and priority over each and every conflicting provision
of this
Agreement.
|
2. Subordinating
Party hereby agrees that any and all of the Subordinated Debt shall be and
hereby is absolutely and unconditionally subordinated in every manner and
to
every extent to the Superior Indebtedness and to the prior payment and
satisfaction in full of the Superior Indebtedness. The Subordinating Party
further agrees that each and every security interest, mortgage, lien, claim,
right or title of Bank in, to or against any real or personal property or
assets
of Borrower shall be superior to each and every security interest, mortgage
or
lien which Subordinating Party has or may acquire in the same property or
assets, each and every security interest, mortgage or lien held by or in
favor
of Subordinating Party in, to or against such property or assets is and shall
remain absolutely and unconditionally subordinated, junior, inferior and
postponed in priority, operation and effect to the priority, operation and
effect of any security Interest, mortgage or lien held by or in favor of
Bank,
all with the same force and effect as though such security interest, mortgage
or
lien held by or in favor of Bank had attached and was perfected prior to
the
perfection of any such security interest, mortgage or lien of Subordinating
Party. Subordinating Party agrees to execute such instruments and documents
as
Bank may request from time to time in order to evidence or accomplish the
intent
of this Agreement, and Subordinating Party and Borrower expressly consent
to the
delivery, filing and recording of any such instruments or documents with
such
persons and authorities as Bank shall deem appropriate. Bank makes no
representation or warranty concerning any collateral or the validity, perfection
or priority of any security interest, lien or mortgage. Bank shall have no
duty
to preserve, protect, care for, insure, take possession of, collect, dispose
of
or realize upon any property. Bank may in its discretion apply the proceeds
of
collateral to any indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Bank secured thereby
in
any order as Bank deems appropriate.
2
3. Borrower
agrees that any and all of the Superior Indebtedness must be fully paid and
discharged, together with all interest thereon and all expenses of collecting
the same or otherwise protecting and/or enforcing the rights and/or interests
of
Bank, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees and
collection expenses, before any payment to Subordinating Party, byway of
cash,
setoff or otherwise, may be paid to Subordinating Party by
Borrower.
4. Borrower,
and Agent on behalf of Subordinating Creditor, represent to Bank and agree
that
the amount of the Subordinated Debt is not and shall not hereafter be
represented by any notes or other negotiable instruments, except the Debenture.
Agent, on behalf of Subordinating Creditor, and Borrower will cause each
instrument evidencing Subordinated Debt to be endorsed with the following
legend:
“The
indebtedness evidenced by this instrument is subordinated to the prior payment
in full of the Superior Indebtedness (as defined in the Subordination Agreement
hereinafter referred to) pursuant to, and to the extend provided in, the
Subordination Agreement dated effective as of March 2, 2005, by the maker
hereof
and payee named herein in favor of the Bank referred to in such Subordination
Agreement.”
Agent,
Subordinating Creditor and Borrower also agree that each and every financing
statement filed with any governmental office pertaining to the Subordinated
Indebtedness and/or the security therefor shall contain the
following:
Notwithstanding
the order of filing of financing statements concerning the Debtor, the security
interests described herein are, and shall at all times remain, subordinate
and
inferior to any and all security interests now or hereafter held by or in
favor
of MFB Financial and its successors and assigns.
Further,
Subordinating Creditor, Agent and Borrower will xxxx their respective books
of
account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice of the
effect of this Subordination Agreement and will, in the case of any hereafter
arising Subordinated Debt which is not evidenced by an instrument, upon Bank’s
request, cause such Subordinated Debt to be evidenced by an appropriate
instrument or instruments containing the language required above; provided
however, that the foregoing shall not permit Borrower to incur or assume
any
indebtedness in violation of the terms governing the Superior Indebtedness.
Agent, on behalf of Subordinating Creditor, and Borrower each will, at it’s own
expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver
all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may
be
necessary or desirable, or that Bank may reasonably request, in order to
protect
any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable
Bank to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
5. Borrower
shall not make any payment, and Subordinating Party shall not receive or
accept
any payment, with respect to any of the Subordinated Debt in violation of
this
Agreement. In the event Subordinating Party receives any payment from Borrower
that is not expressly permitted hereby, whether such payment be in cash,
by
setoff or otherwise, Subordinating Party shall be liable and accountable
therefor to Bank. Subordinating Party shall be deemed to have received each
and
every such payment in trust for the use and benefit of Bank, and Subordinating
Party shall not commingle the same with any other funds and shall pay over
and
deliver each such payment immediately to Bank, even if Bank does not make
demand
for such payment or delivery.
3
6. This
subordination shall survive and remain in full force and effect in the event
of
any administration of the property and/or affairs of Borrower arising from
any
assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation
or other like proceedings.
7. This
Agreement is a continuing subordination and shall continue in full force
and
effect, and Bank may make extensions of credit to Borrower in reliance upon
this
Agreement, at any time any Superior Indebtedness or costs described in Paragraph
3 hereof remain unpaid. Subordinating Party agrees that Bank, at any time
and
from time to time, may enter into such agreements with Borrower as Bank may
deem
proper affecting any property which secures all or any portion of the Superior
Indebtedness (the “Collateral”), and may sell, surrender or otherwise deal with
any of the Collateral without notice to Subordinating Party and without in
any
way impairing or affecting this Agreement. The obligations of Subordinating
Party, and the subordinations provided for herein, shall not be affected
or
impaired by any compromise, release, renewal, extension, forbearance,
indulgence, alteration, change in, modification of, grant of participation
in,
or other disposition of any documents or instruments executed by Borrower
in
favor of Bank, any release of any guarantor of the obligations of Borrower
to
Bank or any other person, any failure of Bank to pursue its remedies against
the
Collateral or any one or more of the guarantors or any other person, any
failure
to collect any of the indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank when due, any
failure to give notice of acquisition or expected acquisition of a purchase
money security interest, or any delay or omission by Bank in the exercise
of any
right or remedy against Borrower or any guarantor of the obligations of Borrower
to Bank.
8. In
the
event of the liquidation of Borrower or the Collateral, or distribution of
Borrower’s assets, any obligation of Borrower to Bank shall be satisfied and
discharged before Subordinating Creditor receives any distributive share
or
payment on account of its obligations against Borrower. Any dividends or
other
payments with respect to the Collateral, by virtue of any insolvency proceedings
instituted by or against Borrower, shall also be distributed first to Bank,
in
an amount required to satisfy the full about of the Superior Indebtedness.
In
order to enable Bank to enforce its rights hereunder in any such action or
proceeding, Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, in its
discretion, to make and present, for and on behalf of Subordinating Creditor
such proofs of claims against Borrower or against any Bankruptcy trustee
or
debtor in possession on account of indebtedness hereby subordinated as Bank
may
deem expedient or proper, and to vote such proofs of claims in any such
proceedings, and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments
or disbursements made thereof in whatever form the same may be paid or issued,
and to apply same on account of any indebtedness owing to Bank by Borrower
which
relate to the Superior Indebtedness; and Agent and Subordinating Creditor,
further agree to execute and deliver to Bank such assignment(s), release(s)
or
other instruments as may be required by Bank in order to enable it to enforce
any and all such claims and to collect any and all dividends or other payments
or disbursements which may be made at any time (a) in connection with any
such
liquidation of Borrower or the Collateral or the distribution of Borrower’s
assets and/or (b) on account of all or any of the indebtedness hereby
subordinated.
9. All
persons executing the Agreement in a representative capacity warrant that
they
have authority to execute this Agreement and bind the entities they purport
to
represent. In particular, but not in limitation of the foregoing, the person
signing this Agreement on behalf of the Agent for Subordinating Party

Agreement by Agent on behalf of Subordinating Party (i) do not violate the

enforceable obligation of Subordinating Party according to the terms and
provisions hereof.

assigns.
11. Agent,

behalf of the Subordinating Party, and Borrower, each acknowledges and agrees

that it
expresses their agreement, and that it should not be interpreted in favor

14. The
subordinations and priorities specified in this Subordination Agreement are
not
conditioned upon the nonavoidability and perfection of the security interest
to
which another security interest is subordinated and, if the security interest
to
which another security interest is subordinated is not perfected or is
avoidable, for any reason, then the subordinations and relative priority
agreements provided herein shall continue to be effective as to the particular
Collateral which is the subject of the unperfected or avoidable security
interest. In no event shall Subordinating Party institute, or join as a party
in
the institution of any action, suit or proceeding or take any action of any
kind
whatsoever seeking a determination that a security interest held by Bank
is
unperfected or avoidable, or in any way make any assertions to that
effect.

following miscellaneous provisions shall apply to this Agreement:
a.
|
Waiver.
The failure of any party hereto at any time or from time to time
to
require performance of another party’s obligations under this Agreement

W
I T
N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS,
the Company is offering (the “Offering”)
through Strasbourger $4,000,000 principal amount of subordinated secured
convertible debentures (“MISC
Debentures”)
at
100% of the principal face amount thereof; and
WHEREAS:
(a) The
Offering will commence immediately and will continue until the earlier to
occur
of (i) the sale of the maximum principal amount of MISC Debentures that comprise
the Offering and (ii) April 29, 2005, unless extended by up to 45 days by
the
Company and Strasbourger (the “Offering
Period”);
(b) Once
the
Offering has been sold, the Company and Strasbourger may conduct one or more
closings (each a “Closing”)
on the
sale of such MISC Debentures;
(c) Tendered
subscriptions for all MISC Debentures shall be subject to acceptance by the
Company, which subscriptions may be reduced in the sole discretion of the
Company or rejected for any reason in the sole discretion of the Company;
(d) Proceeds
received upon the subscription of the MISC Debentures shall be held in escrow
by
the Agent pending the Closing on the MISC Debentures, and disbursed upon
the
Closing; and
(e) If
the
Offering is not sold prior to the end of the Offering Period and there is
no
Closing, the Offering will be terminated and all funds received from Purchasers
will be returned, without accrued interest and without any deduction. The
day
that the Offering Period terminates is hereinafter referred to as the
“Termination
Date.”
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and
intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Appointment
of Agent.
The
Company hereby appoints Wilmington Trust Company as escrow agent in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Wilmington Trust Company
hereby accepts such appointment.
-
1
-
2. Delivery
of Subscription Proceeds.
All
checks, drafts, or other instruments received from subscribers as payment
for
the Units will be delivered by the Company to the Agent, made payable to
“Wilmington Trust Company, as Escrow Agent for Magnetech Integrated Services
Corp.” Prior to Closing or earlier termination of the Offering, the Company will
provide the Agent with a chart setting forth, as to each subscriber, his
name,
address, social security number or employer identification number, number
of
MISC Debentures subscribed for, and the amount paid in connection with such
subscription. The Agent is hereby empowered on behalf of the Company to endorse
and collect all checks, drafts, wire funds transfers, promissory notes or
other
instruments received on account of subscriptions for MISC
Debentures.
3. Agent
to Hold and Disburse Funds.
The
Agent will hold in a special account established for the benefit of the Company
and disburse all funds received by it pursuant to the terms of this Escrow
Agreement, as follows:
3.1 All
funds
received by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Escrow Agreement shall
be
held in a non-interest bearing account with the Agent and may be invested
in The
Wilmington U.S. Government Portfolio fund. It is understood that all checks
received by the Agent are subject to clearance time, and the funds represented
thereby cannot be drawn until such time as the same constitutes good and
collected funds.
3.2 In
the
event that prior to the Termination Date the Agent has received funds (and
such
funds are cleared within three days after the Termination Date) or other
instruments in payment for subscriptions from the sale of the Offering in
the
aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000, the Agent will, on the date of each
Closing (the “Closing
Date”),
pursuant to (a) written instructions signed by the Company and Strasbourger
and
(b) written confirmation from counsel to either the Company or Strasbourger
that
all conditions for the release of the funds have been met, pay to the Company,
Strasbourger and/or to any other person designated in such instructions,
the
proceeds received by the Agent from the sale of such Units (less the funds
the
Company is obligated to pay as a fee to the Agent pursuant to Section 7
hereof, unless otherwise paid by the Company).
3.3 In
the
event that a Closing does not occur prior to the end of the Offering Period
or
if no written instructions are received by the Agent from the Company and
Strasbourger relative to funds received by the Agent from one or more
subscribers to the Offering within three business days after the Termination
Date, the Agent will return the escrowed funds to each Subscriber without
deduction and without interest by check mailed to the address set forth in
the
chart delivered pursuant to Section 2. The Agent shall assume the Offering
Period terminates on April 29, 2005 unless notified otherwise in writing
by the
Company or Strasbourger.
4. Exculpation
and Indemnification of Agent.
4.1 The
Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth
herein. The Agent shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person
to
make any payment or delivery, or to direct or cause any payment or delivery
to
be made, or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other
act.
The Agent shall be under no liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone
else by reason of any failure on the part of any party hereto or any maker,
guarantor, endorser or other signatory of any document or any other person
to
perform such person's obligations under any such document. Except for amendments
to this Agreement referred to below, and except for instructions given to
the
Agent by the Company and Strasbourger relating
-
2
-
to
the
escrow deposit under this Agreement, the Agent shall not be obligated to
recognize any agreement between any and all of the persons referred to herein,
notwithstanding that references thereto may be made herein and whether or
not it
has knowledge thereof.
4.2 The
Agent
shall not be liable to the Company or to anyone else for any action taken
or
omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted, in good
faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment. The Agent may rely
conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand,
certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the
Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only
as to
its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but
also
as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained),
which
is believed by the Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the
proper person or persons. The Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand,
or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement
or any
of the terms thereof, unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Agent
signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the
Agent
are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto. In
the
event the Agent receives conflicting instructions hereunder, the Agent shall
be
fully protected in refraining from acting until such conflict is resolved
to the
satisfaction of the Agent.
4.3 The
Agent
shall not be responsible for the sufficiency or accuracy of the form of,
or the
execution, validity, value or genuineness of, any document or property received,
held or delivered by it hereunder, or of any signature or endorsement thereon,
or for any lack of endorsement thereon, or for any description therein; nor
shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the other parties hereto or to
anyone else in any respect on account of the identity, authority or rights
of
the persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any
document or property of this Agreement. The Agent shall have no responsibility
with respect to the use or application of any funds or other property paid
or
delivered by the Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof. The Agent shall
not be
liable to the Company or to anyone else for any loss which may be incurred
by
reason of any investment of any monies which it holds hereunder provided
the
Agent has complied with the provisions of Section 3.1 hereunder.
4.4 The
Agent
shall have the right to assume in the absence of written notice to the contrary
from the proper person or persons that a fact or an event by reason of which
an
action would or might be taken by the Agent does not exist or has not occurred,
without incurring liability to the other parties hereto or to anyone else
for
any action taken or omitted, or any action suffered by it to be taken or
omitted, in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, in reliance
upon such assumption. Agent shall be entitled to consult with legal counsel
in
the event that a question or dispute arises with regard to the construction
of
any of the provisions hereof, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully
protected in acting in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel.
Agent
shall not be required to take any action which, in the Agent’s sole and absolute
judgment, could involve it in expense or liability in excess of its fees
and
reimbursable expenses hereunder unless furnished with security and indemnity
which it deems, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be
satisfactory.
4.5 To
the
extent that the Agent becomes liable for the payment of taxes, including
withholding taxes, in respect of income derived from the investment of funds
held hereunder or any
-
3
-
payment
made hereunder, the Agent may pay such taxes. The Agent may withhold from
any
payment of monies held by it hereunder such amount as the Agent estimates
to be
sufficient to provide for the payment of such taxes not yet paid, and may
use
the sum withheld for that purpose. The Agent shall be indemnified and held
harmless against any liability for taxes and for any penalties or interest
in
respect of taxes, on such investment income or payments in the manner provided
in Section 4.6.
4.6 The
Agent
will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any
and
all expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss
suffered by the Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding
involving any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in
any
way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement,
the
services of the Agent hereunder, the monies or other property held by it
hereunder or any income earned from investment of such monies; provided,
however, that such indemnification shall not extend to proven acts of gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Agent. The Agent shall
have a
lien for the amount of any such expenses or loss on the monies and other
property held by it hereunder and shall be entitled to reimburse itself from
such monies or property for the amount of any such expense or loss. Promptly
after the receipt by the Agent or notice of any demand or claim or the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Agent shall, if a claim
in
respect thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company thereof
in
writing, but the failure by the Agent to give such notice shall not relieve
the
Company from any liability which the Company may have to the Agent hereunder.
Notwithstanding any obligation to make payments and deliveries hereunder,
the
Agent may retain and hold for such time as it deems necessary such amount
of
monies or property as it shall, from time to time, in its sole discretion,
deem
sufficient to indemnify itself for any such loss or expense and for any amounts
due it under Section 7. The terms of this Section 4.6 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
4.7 For
the
purposes hereof, the term “expense
or loss”
shall
include all amounts paid or payable to satisfy any claim, demand or liability,
or in settlement of any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding settled
with
the express written consent of the Agent, and all costs and expenses, including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, paid or incurred
in investigating or defending against any such claim, demand, action, suit
or
proceeding.
5. Termination
of Agreement and Resignation of Agent.
5.1 This
Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the final disposition of the monies and
property held in escrow hereunder, provided that the rights of the Agent
and the
obligations of the other parties hereto under Sections 4 and 7 shall survive
the
termination hereof.
5.2 The
Agent
may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as Agent hereunder
by
giving the Company and Strasbourger at least 30 days' notice thereof. As
soon as
practicable after its resignation, the Agent shall turn over to a successor
escrow agent appointed by the Company all monies and property held hereunder
(less such amount as the Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to Section
7) upon
presentation of the document appointing the new escrow agent and its acceptance
thereof. If no new Agent is so appointed within the 60-day period following
such
notice of resignation, the Agent may deposit the aforesaid monies and property
with any court it deems appropriate.
-
4
-
6. Form
of Payments by Agent.
6.1 Any
payments by the Agent to subscribers or to persons other than the Company
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be made by check, payable to
the
order of each respective subscriber or other person, or by wire
transfer.
6.2 Except
as
otherwise specifically indicated, all amounts referred to herein are expressed
in United States Dollars and all payments by the Agent shall be made in such
dollars.
7. Compensation
of Agent.
For
services rendered, the Agent shall receive as compensation $3,500 and all
interest income on the funds received pursuant to this Agreement. The Agent
shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable
expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder,
including, but not limited to, all counsel, advisors' fees and disbursements
and
all reasonable taxes or other governmental charges upon presentation of
supporting documentation, if requested by the Company. It is anticipated
that
such disbursement shall not exceed $1,000 barring any unforeseen
circumstances.

Xxxxx
The
Purchaser (as defined below) set forth in
Schedule
I hereto
Magnetech
Integrated Services Corp. (“MISC”) and Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc.
(“MIS”)
|
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have
acted as special Indiana counsel to Magnetech Integrated Services Corp.
(“MISC”), an Indiana corporation, and Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc.
(“MIS”), an Indiana corporation, for the limited purpose of rendering the legal
opinion required in Section 2.2(iii) of that certain Subordinated Convertible
Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among Strasbourger
Xxxxxxx Tulcin Xxxxx Incorporated (the ”Placement Agent”), MISC and the
Purchaser listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Purchaser”) and in Section 3(b)(v)
of that certain Placement Agency Agreement dated as of January 25, 2005 between
MISC and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the
terms of the Purchase Agreement, MISC proposes to offer and sell to the
Purchaser up to $2,515,000 in principal amount of its 6% Subordinated Secured
Convertible Debentures, due February 28, 2007 (the “Debentures”) in a private
offering. The Purchase Agreement and the agreements and instruments listed
below
in subclauses (a) through (g), inclusive, are sometimes hereinafter referred
to
as the “Transaction Documents”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms
in the
Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have made such examination
of
law as we considered appropriate or advisable for purposes hereof. As to
matters
of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied, with your
permission, upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters
contained in the Transaction Documents, and upon certificates and statements
of
certain government officials and officers of MISC and MIS. We have also examined
executed copies of the following documents which are dated as of March 3,
2005,
except for the Subordination Agreement which is dated March 2,
2005:
(a)
|
the
Purchase Agreement;
|
The
Purchaser
Page

(b)
|
the
Debenture;
|
(c)
|
the
Warrant;
|
(d)
|
the
Agent’s Warrant (as defined in the Placement Agency
Agreement);
|
(e)
|
the
Registration Rights Agreement;
|
(f)
|
the
Security Agreement; and
|
(g)
|
the
Subordination Agreement.
|
In
rendering this opinion, we have, with your permission, assumed: the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to the originals
of all documents submitted to us as copies; the genuineness of all signatures;
the legal capacity of natural persons; the truth, accuracy and completeness
of
the information, factual matters, representations and warranties contained
in
all such documents; the due authorization, execution and delivery of all
such
documents, and the legal, valid and binding effect thereof, on such parties
other than MISC and MIS.
We
call
your attention to the fact that we are counsel admitted to practice in the
State
of Indiana, and we do not express any opinion with respect to the applicable
laws, or applicability of the laws, of any jurisdiction other than the internal
laws of the State of Indiana (excluding any Blue Sky or securities laws).
In
particular, but without limitation, we do not express any opinion with regard
to
the federal securities laws of the United States of America, the Blue Sky
or
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction or the security laws or
other
laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction outside the United States of
America. To the extent that the governing law with respect to any of the
documents or matters covered by this opinion is the law of any state other
than
the State of Indiana, we have assumed that the law of such other state is
identical to the law of the State of Indiana.
Based
upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and exceptions contained
herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Both
MISC
and MIS are corporations duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of
the State of Indiana. Each of MISC and MIS have all requisite corporate power
and authority to own and operate its respective properties and assets and
to
carry on its respective business as presently conducted.
2.
MISC has
all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the
Transaction Documents, to issue the Underlying Shares (as hereafter defined)

and
authority to execute the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and
to
carry out the provisions of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party.
3. The
execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which MISC
and
MIS are a party, and the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated
thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. Each
of
the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed
and
delivered by MISC and MIS, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
MISC
and MIS, and are enforceable against MISC and MIS in accordance with their
respective terms.
4. The
Board
of Directors of MISC has duly authorized and reserved for issuance such number
of the common shares, no par value, of MISC (the “Common Shares”), as are
issuable upon conversion of the Debenture (the “Underlying Shares”), the
exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) and the exercise of the Agent’s
Warrant, assuming conversion of the Debenture and exercise of the Warrant
and
the Agent’s Warrant in full on the date hereof. Upon the conversion of the
Debenture in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the
exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the
Underlying Shares and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid
and
not subject to further assessment. Upon the exercise of the Agent’s Warrant in
accordance with the terms of the Agent’s Warrant, the Common Shares issued
pursuant thereto will be validly issued, fully paid and not subject to further
assessment. Upon the issuance of up to an aggregate of 50,000 Common Shares
as
Agent’s Shares (as defined in the Placement Agency Agreement) pursuant to the
terms of the Placement Agency Agreement, such Agent’s Shares will be validly
issued, fully paid and not subject to further assessment.
5. The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party
by
MISC and MIS do not violate or constitute a default under the Articles of
Incorporation or Code of Bylaws of MISC or MIS.
6. No
preemptive rights are provided to shareholders of MISC under the terms of
the
Articles of Incorporation of MISC or the Indiana Business Corporation
Law.
Our
opinion is subject to the following qualifications and limitations:
A. We
express no opinion with respect to (i) the availability of specific performance
or equitable remedies, (ii) any provisions purporting to waive constitutional
or
statutory rights or rights granted by the Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure
or
granting the right of “self-help,” (iii) any provisions purporting to be a
selection of a judicial forum or an expression of judicial jurisdiction,
(iv)
the enforceability of the Transaction Documents, in general, to the extent
the
Purchaser or the Placement Agent fails to act in good faith or in a commercially
reasonable manner, (v) any powers of attorney purportedly granted pursuant
to
any of the Transaction Documents or, (vi) the creation, perfection or priority
of any lien purported to be granted pursuant to any of the Transaction
Documents.

B. The
opinions regarding enforceability contained in paragraph 3 may be limited
by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium,
receivership, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights in general in the event of the subject bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, receivership, or similar event, and may be further
limited by the exercise of judicial discretion in applying principles of
equity,
including (but not limited to) the availability or effects of a preliminary
injunction, a restraining order, or specific performance (regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and,
in
addition, the enforcement of certain provisions respecting indemnification
and
contribution may be limited by applicable law or public policy.
C. Certain
remedial and waiver provisions of the Transaction Documents may be further
limited or rendered unenforceable by other applicable laws or interpretations
but, in our opinion, such laws and interpretations do not, subject to the
other
exceptions and limitations of this opinion letter, make the remedies generally
afforded by the Transaction Documents or under other applicable law inadequate
for the practical realization of the benefits purported to be provided thereby
with respect to the ability of the Purchaser to realize upon the principal
benefits intended to be provided by such documents, except for the economic
consequences of procedural or other delay.
D. Requirements
set forth in any of the Transaction Documents to the effect that any provision
thereof may be waived only in writing may not be valid, binding or enforceable
to the extent that an oral agreement or an implied agreement by practice
or
course of conduct modifying such requirements has been or may be
created.
E.
We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of any remedies provided for
under
any of the Transaction Documents to the extent such remedies would have the
effect of compensating the party entitled to the benefit of such remedies
in
amounts in excess of the actual loss suffered by such party.
F. With
regard to the opinions contained in the last three sentences of opinion
paragraph 4, we have assumed that MISC has sufficient authorized but unissued
shares at the time of the conversion of the Debenture and the exercise of
the
Warrant and the Agent’s Warrant to permit the issuance of the Underlying Shares,
the Warrant Shares and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent’s
Warrant.
G. Whenever
any statement in this opinion letter is qualified by the phrase “to our
knowledge,”“of which we are aware,” or a phrase of similar import, such phrase
is intended to mean the actual knowledge of information by the lawyers in
our
firm who have been principally involved in our work on the subject transaction,
but does not include other information that might be revealed if there were
to
be undertaken a canvass of all lawyers in our firm, a general search of our
files, or any other type of independent investigation. Moreover, we have
not
undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy or
completeness of such knowledge, and limited inquiries made by us should not
be
regarded as such an investigation. Any certificates or representations obtained
by us from officers of MISC and MIS with respect to
Strasbourger

The

this
opinion have been relied upon by us as to factual matters, without independent
verification, but nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to
believe that it is unreasonable for us to rely on these
certificates.
H. Whenever
we have stated we have assumed any matter, it is intended to indicate that
we
have assumed such matter without making any factual, legal or other inquiry
or
investigation, and without expressing any opinions or conclusions of any
kind
concerning such matter.
I. The
only
opinions intended to be provided herein are those which are expressly stated
herein and no opinions by implication are intended or given.
J. The
opinions herein are given as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation
to
update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that
may
hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter
occur.
K.
In
furnishing the opinion regarding the due incorporation and valid existence
of
MISC and MIS, we have relied solely upon the certificates of existence attached
to this letter.
L. We
have
not considered, and express no opinion with respect to, the effect, if any,
of
the failure of MISC to fulfill the covenant contained in the Placement Agency
Agreement dated April 26, 2004 between MIS and the Agent regarding an increase
in the size of the Board of Directors of MISC.
This
opinion has been delivered at your request for the purposes contemplated
by the
Agreement. Without our prior written consent, this opinion is not to be utilized
or quoted for any other purpose, and may not be relied upon by any person
or
entity other than the named addressees.
Very
truly yours,
