Filings"), copies of which have been provided to the Purchaser):
4.1 ORGANIZATION, GOOD STANDING AND QUALIFICATION. Each of the Company
and its Subsidiary is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company,
as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Company and it
Subsidiary has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its
properties and assets, to execute and deliver (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Note

Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the
Company and the Subsidiary is duly qualified and is authorized to do business
and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited
liability company, as the case may be, in all jurisdictions in which the nature
of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such
qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do
so has not, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities,
condition (financial or otherwise), properties, operations or prospects of the
Company and it Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a "Material
Adverse Effect").
3
4.2 SUBSIDIARIES. Each direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company,
the direct owner of such Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set
forth on Schedule 4.2. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "Subsidiary" of any
person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock
or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or
other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a
contingency) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other
persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are
owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii) a corporation or
other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more
than 50% of the equity interests at such time.

securities. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.3, neither the
offer, issuance or sale of any of the Note or the Warrant,
or the issuance of any of the Note Shares or Warrant Shares,

securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution

such securities.

Stock: (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and

date hereof. When issued in compliance with the provisions
of this Agreement and the Company's Charter, the Securities
will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
4
and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided,

clause (y), has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The execution,

in the current equity ownership of the Company or the Subsidiary, nor is the
Company aware that there is any basis to assert any of the foregoing. Neither
the Company nor the Subsidiary is a party or subject to the provisions of any
order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or

any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person
or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise
price per share which shall be less than the Conversion
Price in respect of the Shares, or if less than the Warrant
exercise price in respect of the Warrant Shares, without the
consent of the Purchaser holding Notes, Shares and/or
Warrants or Warrant Shares , then the Company shall issue,
for each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to
the Purchaser so that the average per share purchase price
of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchaser (of
only the Common Stock or Warrant Shares still owned by the
Purchaser) is equal to such other lower price per share and
the Conversion Price and Warrant Exercise Price shall
automatically be reduced to such other lower price per
share. The average Purchase Price of the Shares and average
exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be
calculated separately for the Shares and Warrant Shares. The
foregoing calculation and issuance shall be made separately
for Shares received upon conversion and separately for
Warrant Shares. The delivery to the Purchaser of the
additional shares of Common Stock shall be not later than
the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the
requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. For
purposes of the issuance and adjustment described in this
paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company
carrying the right to convert such security into shares of
Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase
Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional
shares of Common Stock upon sooner of the agreement to or
actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right
or option and again at any time upon any subsequent
issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price
lower than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in
effect upon such issuance. The rights of the Purchaser set
forth in this Section are in addition to any other rights
the Purchaser has pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and
any other agreement referred to or entered into in
connection herewith.
7.13 REISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The Company agrees to reissue
certificates representing the Securities without the legends set forth in
Section 5.8 above at such time as:
(a) the holder thereof is permitted to dispose of such
Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
or any other applicable exemption; or
21
(b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement
after such Securities are registered under the Securities
Act.
The Company agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with all
resales pursuant to Rule 144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions
necessary to allow such resales provided the Company and its counsel receive
reasonably requested representations from the selling Purchaser and broker, if
any.
7.14 OPINION. On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the
Purchaser an opinion acceptable to the Purchaser from the Company's external
legal counsel. The Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other
legal opinions in the future as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Purchaser
(and acceptable to the Purchaser) in connection with the conversion of the Note
and exercise of the Warrant.
7.15 MARGIN STOCK. The Company will not permit any of the proceeds of
the Note or the Warrant to be used directly or indirectly to "purchase" or
"carry" "margin stock" or to repay indebtedness incurred to "purchase" or
"carry" "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.
7.16 FOREIGN SECURITY AGREEMENTS AND GUARANTEES. No later than 30 days
following a request by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause each Subsidiary of
the Company requested by the Purchaser and organized in a jurisdiction outside
of the United States (collectively, the "Foreign Subsidiaries") to, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, execute such documentation as the Purchaser
deems necessary or desirable to (x) grant in favor of the Purchaser a security
interest in all of such Foreign Subsidiary's assets, (y) cause the equity
interests of any such Foreign Subsidiary to be pledged to the Purchaser and (y)
cause such Foreign Subsidiary to guaranty the obligations of the Company set
forth in this Agreement and the Related Agreements, in each case pursuant to
documentation governed by the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign
Subsidiary (the preceding clauses (x) and (y), collectively, the "Foreign
Documentation"). All such Foreign Documentation shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Purchaser, and the Company agrees to cause the respective
Foreign Subsidiary to deliver all such other documentation as is requested by
the Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of such Foreign
Documentation (including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Purchaser).
7.17 RESERVATION. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company undertakes to
reserve, pro rata, on behalf of each holder of a Note or Warrant, from its
authorized but unissued common stock, a number of common shares equal to 150% of
the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow each holder of a Note to be able
to convert all such outstanding Notes and interest and reserve the amount of
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Failure to have
sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section 7.17 for three (3)
consecutive business days or ten (10) days in the aggregate shall be a material
default of the Company's obligations under this Agreement and an Event of
Default under the Note. It being acknowledged that the Company currently has
approximately 10,000,000 share of common stock available for reservation, all of
which will be reserved for conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants
and that once
22
the Company takes the action required by 7.18 hereof the Company will reserve a
sufficient number of additional shares to comply with this Section.
7,18 INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK. The Company will increase its
authorized capital to 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock within 30 days hereof.
Failure to do so will constitute an Event of Default.
8. COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER. The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the
Company as follows:
8.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Purchaser agrees that it will not disclose,
and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Company, unless
expressly agreed to by the Company or unless and until such disclosure is
required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
8.2 NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. The Purchaser agrees not to effect any
sales in the shares of the Company's Common Stock while in possession of
material, non-public information regarding the Company if such sales would
violate applicable securities law.
9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.
9.1 COMPANY INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend the Purchaser, each of the Purchaser's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders,
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon: (i) any
misrepresentation by the Company or the Subsidiary or breach of any warranty by
the Company or the Subsidiary in this Agreement, any other Related Agreement or
in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach or
default in performance by Company or the Subsidiary of any covenant or
undertaking to be performed by Company or the Subsidiary hereunder, under any
other Related Agreement or any other agreement entered into by the Company
and/or the Subsidiary and Purchaser relating hereto or thereto.
9.2 PURCHASER'S INDEMNIFICATION. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at
all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed
upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based upon: (i) any
misrepresentation by Purchaser or breach of any warranty by Purchaser in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Purchaser of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Purchaser hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto. In no event
shall the liability of any Purchaser or permitted successor hereunder or under
this Agreement or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such
Purchaser upon the sale of Registrable Securities (as defined herein).
23
10. CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTE MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.
(a) Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the
Purchaser's intention to sell the Note Shares and the Note
Shares are included in an effective registration statement
or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold: (i)
upon the conversion of the Note or part thereof, the Company
shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary
action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser following a request
by the Purchaser) to assure that the Company's transfer
agent shall issue shares of the Company's Common Stock in
the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other
persons as designated by the Purchaser in accordance with
Section 9.1(b) hereof and in such denominations to be
specified representing the number of Note Shares issuable
upon such conversion; and (ii) the Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will
be given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock
and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement) the Note Shares issued will
be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of
this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting
the resale or transferability of the Note Shares.
(b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its
right to convert the Note or part thereof by telecopying or
otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the
number of shares to be converted to the Company (the "Notice
of Conversion"). The Purchaser will not be required to
surrender the Note until the Purchaser receives a credit to
the account of the Purchaser's prime broker through the DWAC
system (as defined below), representing the Note Shares or
until the Note has been fully satisfied. Each date on which
a Notice of Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the
Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be
deemed a "Conversion Date." Pursuant to the terms of the
Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to
the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel
within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to
the Company of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the
transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the
Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of
the Purchaser's prime broker with the Depository Trust
Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3) business days
after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion
(the "Delivery Date").
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9
hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic
loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails
to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Note Shares to
the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set
forth in Section
24
9.1(b) above and the Note Shares are not delivered to the
Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to the
Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Note
Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof
upon conversion of the Note in the amount equal to the
greater of: (i) $100 per business day after the Delivery
Date for each $10,000 of the purchase price of the
Unlegended Shares subject to delivery default; or (ii) the
Purchaser's actual damages from such delayed delivery.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not owe the
Purchaser any late payments if the delay in the delivery of
the Note Shares beyond the Delivery Date is solely out of
the control of the Company and the Company is actively
trying to cure the cause of the delay. The Company shall pay
any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual
damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the
amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the
number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to
purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser
anticipated receiving upon such conversion, and shall be
calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser's total
purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions,
if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the
Note, for which such Conversion Notice was not timely
honored.
(d) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof later
than two business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. As
compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company
agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty) to the Purchaser for late delivery of
Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day
after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price
of the Unlegended Shares subject to delivery default. If
during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver
Unlegended Shares as required by this Agreement for an
aggregate of thirty (30) days, then the Purchaser or
assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at
its option require the Company to redeem all or any portion
of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such default at
a price per share equal to 125% of the Purchase Price of
such Common Stock and Warrant Shares ("UNLEGENDED REDEMPTION
AMOUNT"). The amount of the aforedescribed liquidated
damages that have accrued or been paid for the twenty day
period prior to the receipt by the Purchaser of the
Unlegended Redemption Amount shall be credited against the
Unlegended Redemption Amount. The Company shall pay any
payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(e) In addition to any other rights available to the Purchaser,
if the Company fails to deliver to the Purchaser Unlegended
Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement, with seven
(7) business days after the Unlegended Shares
25
Delivery Date and the Purchaser thereafter purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of
the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser was entitled
to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company
shall pay in cash to the Purchaser (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Purchaser) the
amount by which (A) the Purchaser's total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of
common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase
price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company
for reissuance as Unlegended Shares- together with interest
thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such
amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full
(which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty). For example, if the Purchaser purchases shares
of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to
cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of
shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for
reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be
required to pay the Purchaser $1,000, plus interest. The
Purchaser shall provide the Company written notice
indicating the amounts payable to the Purchaser in respect
of the Buy-In.
(f) In the event the Purchaser shall request delivery of
Unlegended Shares the Company is required to deliver such
Unlegended Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any
claim that the Purchaser or any one associated or affiliated
with the Purchaser has been engaged in any violation of law,
or for any other reason unless, an injunction or temporary
restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and
or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares or exercise
of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and
obtained and the Company has posted a surety bond for the
benefit of the Purchaser in the amount of 120% of the amount
of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock and
Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction or
temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in
effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the
dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the
Purchaser to the extent the Purchaser obtains judgment in
the Purchaser's favor.
Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum amount permitted by such
law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts
owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to the Company.
