COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 General. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action
is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of
the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery
of such further instruments and documents) as any other party may request, all
at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting
party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article 6 below).
5.2 Notices. Each Seller will, and will cause the Company to, give any
notices to third parties, and each Seller will use its best efforts, and will
cause the Company to use its best efforts, to obtain any third-party Consents
that the Purchaser may reasonably request. Each of the Company and Purchaser
will (and the Sellers will cause the Company to) give any notices to, make any
filings with, and use its best efforts to obtain any required authorizations and
approvals of governmental bodies.
5.3 Transition. Sellers will not take any action that is designed or
intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, customer,
supplier, or other business associate of the Company from maintaining the same
business relationships with the Company after the Closing as it maintained with
the Company prior to the Closing. The Sellers will refer all customer inquiries
relating to the business of the Company to the Purchaser from and after the
Closing.
5.4 Financial Commitment. Purchaser commits that it will make available to
the Company working capital of at least One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($1,250,000.00 USD) to complete the Company's product development.
13
Purchaser further commits to contribute such additional working capital as is
commercially necessary to maintain the Company's business operations.
5.5 Brokers. Each of Purchaser and each Seller represent, as to itself and
its affiliates, that no registered representative of a securities broker-dealer,
broker or securities broker-dealer, whether or not the foregoing are properly
registered with FINRA or the Securities and Exchange Commission, finder or
investment banker or other firm or person is or will be entitled to any
brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5.5. "Piggyback" Registration Rights. The Purchaser will use its best
efforts to include all Purchase Price Shares in any underwritten public offering
of the Common Stock (the "Public Offering"), in accordance with the Securities
Act on a "piggyback" registration basis. The Sellers shall sell in the Public
Offering all Purchase Price Shares which the Purchaser is able to register in
the Public Offering, unless the underwriters in the Public Offering advise the
Purchaser that bona fide marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
securities to be underwritten, in which case, the Purchaser shall so advise all
Sellers of Purchase Price Shares which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant
hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall
be allocated to the Sellers of such Purchase Price Shares on a PRO RATA basis.
If requested by the managing or lead managing underwriter in the Public
Offering, the Sellers shall execute and deliver such customary documentation as
is utilized by such underwriter for selling stockholders in underwritten public
offerings including, without limitation, an underwriting agreement and a
"lock-up" agreement with the managing or lead managing underwriter in such forms
as are customarily used by such underwriter with any modifications as the
parties thereto shall agree. In connection with any such registration, the
Sellers shall supply to the Purchaser such information as may be reasonably
requested by the Purchaser in connection with the preparation and filing of a
registration statement with the SEC. The Sellers shall not supply any
information to the Purchaser for inclusion in such registration statement that
will, taken as a whole, at the time the registration statement becomes effective
under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. The covenants and agreements made in this
Section 5.5 shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.6. Rule 144. Purchaser agrees, for its part, to make available to the
Sellers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may
permit the sale of the Purchase Price Shares to the public without registration.

all times when the Purchaser is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Act and of the Exchange Act, it shall use its best efforts to: (a)
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the
Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration
filed by the Purchaser for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents
required of the Purchaser under the Exchange Act; and (c) so long as a Seller
owns any Purchase Price Shares, furnish to such Seller forthwith upon request: a
written statement by the Purchaser as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Purchaser filed with
the SEC; and such other reports and documents as a Seller may reasonably request
14
in connection with availing itself of any SEC rule or regulation allowing it to
sell any such securities without registration. The covenants and agreements made
in this Section 5.6 shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

out of which such liability arose.
