Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 12, 2012, NightCulture, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Mountain Top, Inc. (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and sold, units (the “Units”) consisting of a convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”).  Gross proceeds from the sale of Units were used to pay the cash portion of the acquisition price of Full Access (described below) and the balance of the proceeds will be used for general working capital.

No placement agents or brokers participated in the offering of the Units and no commissions or finders fees were paid pursuant to the offering.

The securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction not involving a public offering of securities.  The securities were offered solely to a single accredited investor without public solicitation and the securities issued in the offering are subject to resale restrictions, including the placement of restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing the securities.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. 

Convertible Debenture

On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into the Convertible Debenture with the Investor evidencing the Company’s indebtedness to the Investor in the principal amount of $500,000.  The Convertible Debenture is an unsecured general obligation of the Company.

Interest and Maturity

The Convertible Debenture bears simple interest at five percent (5%) per annum and matures, and is payable in full with accrued and unpaid interest, on September 12, 2015; provided, however, that accrued interest with respect to any portion of the principal converted into common stock shall be payable on the date of conversion unless such accrued interest is converted into common stock (see “Conversion” below).  The Company may not, without the prior consent of the holder, prepay the Convertible Debenture prior to maturity or an event of default.

Conversion

The Convertible Debenture is convertible, in part or in whole, at the sole option of the holder, on or before maturity, into shares of common stock of the Company.  The Convertible Debenture is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion (the “Conversion Price”) equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the conversion date.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Convertible Debenture and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Debenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Brooke Humphries (“Humphries”) and Jeremy Word (“Word” and, together with Humphries, the “Sellers”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, on September 13, 2012, the Company acquired from the Sellers all of the principal assets and rights associated with an event promotion and production business operated by the Sellers in the Dallas, Texas and surrounding market under the name “Full Access,” the assets acquired consisting principally of patron, customer, vendor and other lists and contact information (the “Acquired Assets”).  As consideration for the Acquired Assets, the Company paid $300,000 in cash and issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Share Consideration”).  Prior to the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, there was no material relationship between the Company and the Sellers.

No agents or brokers participated in the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and no commissions or finders fees were paid in connection therewith.

The securities were as Share Consideration pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving a public offering of securities.  The securities were offered solely to two investors without public solicitation and the securities issued in the offering are subject to resale restrictions, including the placement of restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing the securities.

The Employment Agreement provides for an annual salary of $50,000 plus twenty percent (20%) of net profits from events promoted and produced in the Dallas market as well as benefits available to other salaried employees.

The Employment Agreement runs for a term of three years and provides for certain confidentiality and non-competition obligations.

(b)           During the Time Covenant, neither Seller shall, directly or indirectly, whether for their own account or for the account of any Person (other than Buyer) that is in competition with Buyer (A) solicit, recruit, hire, engage in any activity that would cause any Person who is as of the Closing Date, or was during the 12 months prior to the Closing Date, employed in the Business to violate any agreement with Buyer, endeavor to entice away any such Person from Buyer, interfere with the relationship of Buyer with such Person or induce any such Person to reject any employment offer by Buyer or (B) solicit, entice or induce any Person who is, or was a Customer or Supplier to (i) become a Customer or Supplier of any other Person engaged in any business activity that competes with the Business, (ii) cease doing business with Buyer or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of Buyer with any such person, team, Customer or Supplier.

From and after the Closing, Sellers will, and will cause each of their Affiliates which they control to, hold in strict confidence and not use to the detriment of Buyer and/or Seller or any of its Affiliates, all information with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and//or Sellers agree, covenant and acknowledge that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer and/or Sellers will not, and will cause their Affiliates which they control not to, disclose, give, sell, use, or otherwise divulge any confidential or secret information (including but not limited to any trade secrets, know-how, strategies, financial statements or other financial information not otherwise publicly available, forecasts, operations, business plans, prices, discounts, plans, data or ideas).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and/or Sellers may disclose such information (i) if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Applicable Law, (ii) if the same currently is, or hereafter is, in the public domain through no fault of Buyer and/or Sellers, or (iii) if the same is later acquired by Buyer and/or Sellers from another source and Buyer and/or Sellers are not aware that such source is under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential. If Buyer and/or Sellers or any of their Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such information, the Disclosing Party shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Buyer and/or Seller may seek, at its expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section.

(c)           any obligation or liability arising from claims, proceedings or causes of action arising from operations of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date;
 
 
10

 

(d)           any action, suit or proceeding pending on the Closing Date, notwithstanding disclosure thereof in this Agreement or on the Business Financial Statements or any subsequent claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to such pending matters.

8.3.           Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates after the Closing Date from and against any liability, obligation, loss, lien, cost, damage and expense (including reasonable legal and accounting fees incurred in defending or prosecuting any claim for any such liability, loss or damage) arising out of or resulting from:

(a)           the untruth or inaccuracy as of the date hereof or on the Closing Date of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement (or in any document, writing or certificate delivered by Buyer under this Agreement), or the failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations hereunder; or

(b)           the operations of Buyer and/or the conduct of the Business following the Closing.

8.4           Specific Breaches. The breach of a specific representation, warranty, or agreement by Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall be determined independently of any other representation, warranty or agreement made by Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, whether or not, apart from such specific representation, warranty or agreement, the transactions provided for in this Agreement prove to be more favorable to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, and whether or not the facts and circumstances covered by any one or more of the other representations, warranties or agreements made by Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, prove to be more favorable than so represented and warranted.

8.5.           Cross-indemnification for Broker’s or Finder’s Fees. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.7 and Section 4.2.6, Buyer and Sellers each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, liens, damages, costs and expenses of any kind or character arising from any claims for broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions or other similar fees in connection with the transactions covered by this Agreement, insofar as such claims shall be based upon alleged arrangements or agreements made by such party or on its behalf, which indemnity expressly shall survive any termination of this Agreement or any Closing hereunder.

8.6.           Procedure for Indemnification.

(a)           If any Person shall claim indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) hereunder for any claim other than a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice to the other party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the nature of the claim in detail and amount of the claim. If an Indemnified Party shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any claim or demand of a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice (a “Third-Party Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party of the basis for such claim or demand, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in detail and the amount of the claim.
 
 
11

 

(b)           In the event that an Indemnifying Party which receives notice of an indemnification claim contests its liability for such indemnification claim, such party shall send written notice to the Indemnified Party of its dispute of indemnification within 15 days thereof. If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute of indemnification within 60 days after the date of the notice of dispute, the Indemnified Party may bring an action against the Indemnifying Party to enforce such indemnification claim.

(c)           The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or, if appropriate, defend at its own cost and through counsel of its own choosing, any claim or demand giving rise to any such claim for indemnification. In the event the Indemnifying Party undertakes to compromise or defend any such claim or demand, it shall promptly (and in any event, no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Third-Party Notice) notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so. The Indemnified Party shall fully cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense or compromise of such claim or demand. After the assumption of the defense by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnifying Party, in connection with such defense (unless the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability for such indemnification claim and a court pursuant to Section 11.8 determines that the Indemnifying Party is not liable to indemnify the Indemnified Party), but the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. No settlement of a Third-Party Claim defended by the Indemnifying Party shall be made without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of a judgment or settlement of a Third-Party Claim which does not include as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim.

8.7.           Payment. Except for Third-Party Claims being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.6, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations hereunder within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice of a claim, unless the Indemnifying Party has contested its liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.6(b) in which case no payment shall be due from the Indemnifying Party unless its liability therefore is established by final nonappealable court order or judgment and fifteen (15) days have passed since the entry of such order or judgment. Any amount not paid to the Indemnified Party by such date shall bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate published by any major New York bank reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party.

8.8.           Reduction for Insurance and Taxes. The amount of any payment to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in reduction of the related indemnifiable loss. An Indemnified Party which subsequently receives insurance proceeds in respect of the related indemnifiable loss shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such actually received insurance proceeds. Where any tax benefit is available to the Indemnified Party with respect to an indemnifiable event, the amount of any payment with respect to such indemnifiable loss shall be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of such tax benefit actually received.

8.9.           No Consequential Damages. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for consequential, enhanced, punitive or special damages or the like unless such damages are included in a Third-Party Claim and the Indemnified Party is liable to the third party claimant for such damages.

This is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures (this debenture being referred to as the “Debenture” and, collectively, all similar debentures issued by the Company pursuant to the Unit Offering (as defined below) being referred to as the “Debentures”) of the Company.   An aggregate of $500,000.00 in principal amount of Debentures are being offered (the “Unit Offering”) by the Company in units (the “Units”) together with warrants (the “Warrants”), each Unit consisting of one Debenture and one Warrant.

Section 2.  Interest.

Section 5.   Rights Of Investor Upon Default.

Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 4(f) or 4(g) hereof) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Investor may, by written notice to the Company, declare all outstanding amounts payable by the Company hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 4(f) or 4(g) hereof, immediately and without notice, all outstanding amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.  In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the Investor may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both. So long as an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, this Debenture shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum, and (ii) the maximum lawful non-usurious contract rate of interest allowed by applicable law, until such time as the Event of Default is cured or outstanding principal and all accrued but unpaid interest on this Debenture and any other amounts due there under are paid in full.

Section 6.   Conversion.

(a)           At any time, and from time to time, the Investor may, in the manner described in Section 6(b) and at the Investor’s sole and exclusive option, convert all, or a portion, of the principal and/or interest outstanding under this Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) at the then effective Conversion Price.  The number, and nature, of shares of Common Stock into which this Debenture shall be converted shall be determined by dividing the principal amount, and interest if any, so converted by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion, subject to adjustments, if any, provided for pursuant to Section 6(d).  

(b)           The Investor shall exercise its right to convert this Debenture by providing written notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”, the date of receipt by the Company of each such Conversion Notice being referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”) accompanied by this Debenture.  The Company shall, within five (5) business days following the Conversion Date and at the Company’s expense, issue and deliver to the Investor, or to its nominee, at such Investor’s address as shown in the records of the Company, a certificate or certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof (bearing such legends as are required by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of counsel to the Company).  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Debenture and, after aggregating all fractional shares subject to conversion, any remaining fractional share to which the Investor would otherwise be entitled shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  As of the Conversion Date, the accrued interest so converted, first, and, then, the principal amount of this Debenture so converted shall be deemed paid in full, and all rights with respect to such accrued interest and principal amount of this Debenture so converted shall immediately cease and terminate, except only the right of the Investor to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and the payment of any accrued and unpaid and unconverted interest thereon.  On the Conversion Date, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to be outstanding, and the Investor shall be entitled to exercise and enjoy all rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock.

(c)           The term “Conversion Price” shall mean, as of any time, fifty percent (50%) of the Market Price. For the purpose of this Debenture, “Market Price” shall mean for the Common Stock (or its successor security) (i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), the average closing sales price of the Common Stock on the Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P. over the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on the Conversion Date (the “Measurement Period”); (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange but is quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), the average closing sale price of the Common Stock as so reported by the OTC Bulletin Board over the Measurement Period; and (iii) if the Common Stock is not then listed on an Exchange or quoted for trading on the OTCBB but are then reported in any of the OTC Markets published by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices)(the “OTC Market”), the average of the last accepted bid price per share of Common Stock as so reported over the Measurement Period.  If the Common Stock is listed or quoted on an Exchange and/or the OTCBB and/or the OTC Market during a portion, but not all, of the Measurement Period, the Market Price shall computed taking into account the days within the Measurement Period on which each of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in that order of preference, applied. If the Common Stock is not listed for trading or eligible for quotation on any of the foregoing exchanges or public markets, then the Market Price of the Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

Warrant No. 2012-__

NIGHTCULTURE INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE __________ SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK, $0.001 PAR VALUE

For VALUE RECEIVED, ______________ (“Warrantholder”), is entitled to purchase, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, from NightCulture Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), at any time not later than 5:00 P.M., Central time, on the Expiration Date (as defined above), at an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price (as defined below), __________ shares (“Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).  The number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as described herein.

The “Warrant Price” shall mean, as of any time, fifty percent (50%) of the Market Price. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Market Price” shall mean for the Common Stock (or its successor security) (i) if the Common Stock is traded on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange”), the average closing sales price of the Common Stock on the Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted for trading as reported by Bloomberg L.P. over the twenty (20) consecutive trading day period ending on the Conversion Date (the “Measurement Period”); (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on an Exchange but is quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), the average closing sale price of the Common Stock as so reported by the OTC Bulletin Board over the Measurement Period; and (iii) if the Common Stock is not then listed on an Exchange or quoted for trading on the OTCBB but are then reported in any of the OTC Markets published by OTC Markets Group Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices)(the “OTC Market”), the average of the last accepted bid price per share of Common Stock as so reported over the Measurement Period.  If the Common Stock is listed or quoted on an Exchange and/or the OTCBB and/or the OTC Market during a portion, but not all, of the Measurement Period, the Market Price shall computed taking into account the days within the Measurement Period on which each of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in that order of preference, applied. If the Common Stock is not listed for trading or eligible for quotation on any of the foregoing exchanges or public markets, then the Market Price of the Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

Section 1.  Registration.  The Company shall maintain books for the transfer and registration of the Warrant.  Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register the Warrant in the name of the Warrantholder.

Section 2.  Transfers.  As provided herein, this Warrant may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration.  Subject to such restrictions, the Company shall transfer this Warrant from time to time upon the books to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, upon surrender thereof for transfer properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Company, including, if required by the Company, an opinion of its counsel to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to establish that such transfer is being made in accordance with the terms hereof, and a new Warrant shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled by the Company.

Section 3.  Exercise of Warrant.  Subject to the provisions hereof, the Warrantholder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time prior to its expiration upon surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of the duly executed Warrant exercise form attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment by cash, certified check or wire transfer of funds for the aggregate Warrant Price for that number of Warrant Shares then being purchased, to the Company during normal business hours on any business day at the Company’s principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Warrantholder).  The Warrantholder shall deliver the Exercise Agreement to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer by facsimile to 281-605-1333 and by Email to mike@nightculture.com.  The Warrant Shares so purchased shall be deemed to be issued to the Warrantholder or the Warrantholder’s designee, as the record owner of such shares, as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered (or evidence of loss, theft or destruction thereof and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company), the Warrant Price shall have been paid and the completed Exercise Agreement shall have been delivered.  Certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, representing the aggregate number of shares specified in the Exercise Agreement, shall be delivered to the Warrantholder within a reasonable time, not exceeding three (3) business days, after this Warrant shall have been so exercised.  The certificates so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be requested by the Warrantholder and shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the Warrantholder.

If by the third business day following the date this Warrant is duly exercised in accordance the preceding paragraph in this Section 3(a), the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to this Section 3, and if after such date and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, shares of Common Stock are purchased by or for the account of the Warrantholder to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Warrantholder of the Warrant Shares which the Warrantholder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Warrantholder the amount by which (x) the Warrantholder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Warrantholder in connection with such exercise by (B) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date the Exercise Form was delivered and (2) deliver to the Warrantholder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company with respect to a Buy-In shall not apply where the Warrant Shares in question are subject to resale restrictions under the Securities Act.  The Warrantholder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Warrantholder in respect of the Buy-In.

If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, then, unless this Warrant has expired, the Company shall, at its expense, at the time of delivery of such certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a new Warrant representing the number of shares with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised.  As used herein, “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks in Houston, Texas are open for the general transaction of business.

Section 4.  Compliance with Securities Act.  The Company may cause the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant to be set forth on each Warrant or similar legend on any security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such security that such legend is unnecessary.

Section 5.  Payment of Taxes.  The Company will pay any documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares are issued, and in such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for Warrant Shares or any Warrant until the person requesting the same has paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid.  The Warrantholder shall be responsible for income taxes due under federal, state or other law, if any such tax is due.

Section 6.  Mutilated or Missing Warrants.  In case this Warrant shall be mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange and substitution of and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and for the purchase of a like number of Warrant Shares, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of the Warrant, and with respect to a lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant, reasonable indemnity or bond with respect thereto, if requested by the Company.

Section 7.  Reservation of Common Stock.  The Company hereby represents and warrants that there have been reserved, and the Company shall at all applicable times keep reserved until issued (if necessary) as contemplated by this Section 7, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by this Warrant.  The Company agrees that all Warrant Shares issued upon due exercise of the Warrant shall be, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Warrant Shares, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

Section 8.  Adjustments.  Subject and pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, the Warrant Price and number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth hereinafter.

(a)          If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock that is in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares that is in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or issue by reclassification of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by the Company so that the Warrantholder thereafter exercising the Warrant shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock which the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event.  Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.  This Warrant shall not be adjusted for any stock dividend, distribution in shares of Common Stock or stock dividend that is equal to or less than twenty percent (20%) of the then-issued and outstanding Common Stock.

(b)          If any capital reorganization, reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation shall be effected, then, as a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.  The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other disposition unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder, at the last address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.  The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

 
4

 
 
(c)          In case the Company shall make or issue a dividend or other distribution payable in securities (other than Common Stock), assets or evidence of indebtedness, then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Investor shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities, assets and/or evidence of indebtedness that they would have received had this Warrant been exercised into Common Stock on the date of such event and had they thereafter during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period under this paragraph with respect to the rights of the Warrantholder.
 
(d)          If the Company repurchases or retires any of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, to the extent of such reduction of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  No such adjustment to the Warrant Shares shall be made for the retirement or repurchase of any security that is exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock.

(e)          Adjustments pursuant to this Section 8 shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment.

(f)           In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 8, the Warrantholder shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject thereafter to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Warrant Shares contained in this Warrant.

Section 9.  Fractional Interest.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fractional share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9, be deliverable upon such exercise, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share, shall pay to the exercising Warrantholder an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of such fractional share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

Section 10.  Benefits.  Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation (other than the Company and the Warrantholder) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim, it being agreed that this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Warrantholder.

Section 11.  Notices to Warrantholder.  Upon the happening of any event requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Warrantholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company, stating the adjustment resulting from such event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.  Failure to give such notice to the Warrantholder or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the subject adjustment.

In addition to the Demand Registration rights provided hereunder, if (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Investors) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than with respect to an Excluded Registration), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Investor written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Investor given within twenty (20) days after such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 8(j), the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(c), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Investor has requested to be registered, and (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested by the Investors to be included in any public offering to be not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Company’s securities included in such offering.

If the managing underwriters shall give written advice to the Company of an Underwriters’ Maximum Number, then: (i) if the registration has been initiated by the Company, then, subject to Section 3(a)(ii), (A) the Company shall be entitled to include in such registration the maximum number of securities which the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration and which does not exceed the Underwriters’ Maximum Number, (B) if the Underwriters’ Maximum Number exceeds the number of securities which the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration, then the Company will be obligated and required to include in such registration the maximum number of Registrable Securities requested by the Investors (on a pro rata basis based on such Investors’ respective ownership of Registrable Securities) to be included in such registration and which does not exceed such excess, and (C) if the Underwriters’ Maximum Number exceeds the sum of the number of Registrable Securities which the Company shall be required to include in such registration pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) and the number of securities which the Company proposes to offer and sell for its own account in such registration, then the Company may include in such registration that number of securities which other persons shall have requested be included in such registration and which shall not be greater than such excess; and (ii) if the registration has been initiated by any other person(s), then (A) the Company shall be entitled to include in such registration the maximum number of securities which such other person(s) propose to offer and sell for their own account in such registration and which does not exceed the Underwriters’ Maximum Number, (B) if the Underwriters’ Maximum Number exceeds the number of securities which such other person(s) proposes to offer and sell for their own account in such registration, then the Company will be obligated and required to include in such registration the maximum number of Registrable Securities requested by the Investors (on a pro rata basis based on such Investors’ respective ownership of Registrable Securities) to be included in such registration and which does not exceed such excess, (C) if the Underwriters’ Maximum Number exceeds the sum of the number of Registrable Securities which the Company shall be required to include in such registration pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), then the Company may include in such registration that number of other securities which the Company and/or any other holders of the Company’s securities be included in such registration and which shall not be greater than such excess.
  
4.           Registration Procedures. When the Company proposes to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or 3, the Company shall have the following obligations:
 
(a)      Subject to Section 6, the Company agrees that the Investors that have elected to participate in a registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 and holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration shall have the right to select one legal counsel to represent such Investors as a group to review and oversee any such registration (“Legal Counsel”). The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. The Company shall permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC.

The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
(d)     The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the Prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver one copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate; and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related Prospectus.

(e)      The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(g)      If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such Investor consents to being so named, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection by such Investor and Legal Counsel (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure (except to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

(m)     The Company shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.
 
(n)     The Company shall notify all Investors holding Registrable Securities being offered in the event that, in the judgment of the Company, it becomes advisable to suspend use of a Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company. Upon receipt of such notice, each such Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Prospectus and the related Registration Statement until such Investor has received copies of a supplement or amendment to such Prospectus and the related Registration Statement or until such Investor has been advised in writing by the Company that such Prospectus and the related Registration Statement, as then in effect, may again be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus and the related Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section 4(n) to suspend sales of Registrable Securities for a period in excess of 60 days in any 360-day period.

(a)      Indemnification by the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any blue sky law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 7(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 4(b); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 8(d).

(b)      Indemnification by the Investors. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 7(a), the Company, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any blue sky law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages 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 to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 7(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7(d)(i) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 7(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 8(d).
 
(c)      Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7, 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 control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate reasonably with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 7, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
 
 
10

 
 
(d)      Contributions; Investors Treated Separately.
 
(i)       To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (1) no person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (2) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
(ii)      Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Investor shall be treated individually and separately from all other Investors under this Section 7, and will neither (1) become the subject of any obligation under this Section 7 as a result of any action, failure to act, statement, omission, or otherwise of any other Investor hereunder, nor (2) benefit from the provisions of Section 7(a) as a result of any indemnification obligation of the Company to any other Investor under said Section.
 
8.           Miscellaneous.
 
(a)      Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Texas.
 
(b)      Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 
(c)       Remedies. The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder may cause irreparable harm to the Investors and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Investors shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without any bond or other security being required.
  
(d)      Assignment. All or any portion of the rights under this Agreement shall be assignable by each Investor in connection with any transfer of such Investor’s Registrable Securities or Debentures or Warrants made in accordance with the provisions of the same, if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with such transferee, assignee or participant (as the case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such transferee, assignee or participant (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, assignment or participation (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee, assignee or participant (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; and (iii) such transferee, assignee or participant (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
 
(e)      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.
 
 
11

 
 
(f)       Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
 
(g)      Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
 
(h)      Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investors, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein.
 
(i)       Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (determined at the time of such amendment or waiver), and any amendment or waiver to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 8(i) shall be binding on all of the Investors. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Registrable Securities then outstanding.
 
(j)       Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Agreement, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 4.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
 
(k)      Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
 
(l)       No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to the requirements of Section 8(d), this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.
 
(m)     Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
  
(n)      No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

EXHIBIT 10.5
 
Employment Agreement
 
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 13, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between NIGHTCULTURE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and JEREMY WORD (“Employee”) (each a “Party” and, collectively, the “Parties”).  Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms are defined in Article VII.
 
WHEREAS, Employee and Company are party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase, and Employee agreed to sell (the “Acquisition”), substantially all of the assets used, or usable in an event promotion business operated by Employee and Brooke Humphries under the name “Full Access and Prototype Industries” (the “Business”) in Dallas County, Texas and each county adjoining Dallas County (the “Subject Market”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and as a condition to closing of the purchase and sale contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Employee agreed to enter into an employment agreement pursuant to which Employee would provide services exclusively to the Company as an employee in connection with events promoted and produced by the Company in the Subject Market in order to preserve the value of the Business following closing of the purchase and sale contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
EMPLOYMENT TERMS

1.1.           Employment.  The Company hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts employment with the Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending as provided in Section 3.1 hereof (the “Employment Period”).

1.2.           Position and Duties.

  1.2.1.           Generally.  During the Employment Period, Employee will be an employee of the Company and will serve in such position(s) as management of the Company shall determine from time to time.  In any such capacity, Employee shall provide such services to the Company and its subsidiaries as are commensurate with the customary duties, responsibilities and authority of such offices as to which he may be appointed and subject to the power of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  Employee shall also perform such other services on behalf of the Company as the Board may reasonably direct from time to time.

  1.2.2.           Duties and Responsibilities.  Employee shall report to the President and the Board of the Company and shall devote his best efforts and his full business time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in particular, all aspects of the promotion and production of events (the “Covered Events”) in the Subject Market and such other aspects of the operations of the Business as the President and/or the Board may from time to time determine.  Employee shall perform his duties and responsibilities to the best of his abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.  During the Employment Period, Employee shall not engage in any other business activities which could reasonably be expected to conflict with Employee’s duties, responsibilities and obligations hereunder.  Except in connection with charitable or civic endeavors, Employee will not serve as a member of the board of directors of any business, other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, without the prior approval of the Board.  Employee shall also comply with all policies, rules and regulations of the Company as well as all reasonable directives and instructions from the Board.  The Company shall have the right to purchase in Employee’s name a “key man” life insurance policy naming the Company and any of its subsidiaries as the sole beneficiary thereunder and Employee shall cooperate with the Company in obtaining such insurance if the Company elects to purchase such insurance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Employment Period, Employee may, from time to time upon prior notice to and written consent of the Company, provide contract DJ, music production and remixing services to third parties (“Permitted Outside Services”) provided that the same does not conflict with Employee’s service to the Company hereunder.

ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION

2.1.           Salary.  Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Employment Period, the Company shall pay to Employee a base salary in the amount of $50,000.00 per year (the “Salary”); provided, however, that, the Board may, at its sole discretion, increase, but not decrease, the Salary.  The Salary will be payable by the Company in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s general payroll practices, currently providing for payments on the 1st and 15th days of each month, and shall be subject to customary withholding for income tax, social security and other such taxes.

2.2.           Covered Event Bonuses.  In addition to the Salary, during the Employment Period, Employee shall receive cash bonuses from time to time in an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Net Profits for each Covered Event in the Subject Market (the “Covered Event Bonuses”) and payable not later than twenty (20) days after each Covered Event. For purposes hereof, “Net Profits” shall mean the excess of all revenues received by Company from a Covered Event over all direct costs incurred by Company attributable to the promotion and production, or otherwise directly incurred with respect to the subject Covered Event.  Net Profits for a Covered Event shall be calculated (i) after deducting amounts paid or payable to co-promoters, co-producers, partners or any third parties holding an interest in the profits from the Covered Event, other than Brooke Humphries, and (ii) before deducting (a) any corporate overhead of Company, (b) any Covered Event Bonus attributable to the Covered Event, and (c) amounts paid, or payable, to Brooke Humphries as Consultant Fees under the Advisory Board Consulting Agreement between the Company and Brooke Humphries.

2.4.           Additional Benefits.  During the Employment Period, Employee shall be entitled to participate in any employee welfare and health benefit plans provided to salaried employees of the Company which may be established by the Company from time to time for the benefit of other Company employees (collectively “Benefits”).  Employee shall be required to comply with the conditions attendant to coverage by such plans and shall comply with and be entitled to Benefits only in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plans as they may be amended from time to time.  Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Company to establish or continue any particular Benefits in discharge of its obligations under this Agreement.

2.5.           Expenses.  The Company shall reimburse Employee for all reasonable expenses incurred by him for the benefit of the Company in the course of performing his duties under this Agreement that are consistent with the Company’s policies in effect at that time with respect to travel, entertainment and other business expenses; provided that:  (i) such expenditures are of a nature qualifying them as proper deductions on the federal and state income tax returns of the Company; (ii) Employee furnishes to the Company adequate records and other documentary evidence required by federal and state statutes and regulations issued by the appropriate taxing authorities for the substantiation of each such expenditure as an income tax deduction; and (iii) such expenditures otherwise comply with the Company’s requirements with respect to reporting and documentation of such reimbursable expenses.

2.6.           Applicable Withholdings.  The Salary, Covered Event Bonuses, Benefits and any other compensation will be subject to all withholdings and deductions required by law and will be payable in accordance with the Company’s normal periodic payroll practices.

3.3.           Voluntary Termination.  Employee may voluntarily terminate his employment with the Company upon 30 days prior written notice.  In the event such voluntary termination is without Good Reason, the Company shall be released from any and all further obligations under this Agreement, except that, so long as Employee continues to perform his duties in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee the Salary, Covered Event Bonuses, Benefits and reimbursable expenses owing to Employee through the date of such termination (such period not to exceed 30 days from the date of notice).

3.4.           Termination due to Death or Disability.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the death of Employee, and Employee may be terminated by reason of “Disability” and, in such event, the Company shall be released from any and all further obligations under this Agreement, except that the Company shall be obligated to pay Employee, or Employee’s heirs or estate, his Salary, Covered Event Bonuses, Benefits, including accrued vacation, and reimbursable expenses owing to Employee through the date of such termination.

3.6.           Other Rights.  Except as set forth in Article III, all of Employee’s rights to Benefits, Covered Event Bonuses and Salary hereunder (if any) which accrue or become payable after the termination of the Employment Period shall cease upon such termination.  The Company and its Subsidiaries may offset any amounts Employee owes any of them against any amounts the Company owes Employee hereunder; provided that such offset shall occur only upon Employee’s termination of employment with the Company.

3.7.           Obligation to Make Severance Payments.  The Company will be obligated to make the severance payments contemplated in this Article III if Employee has not breached, and only for so long as Employee does not breach, his obligations under Sections IV or V of this Agreement.

3.8.           Withholding.  All amounts payable to Employee as severance hereunder shall be subject to all required withholdings by the Company (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code).

ARTICLE IV
CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1.           Confidentiality. Employee will hold in confidence and not use to the detriment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and will cause each of its Affiliates which it controls to hold in confidence and not use to the detriment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, both during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after its termination, all Confidential Information (as defined below) with respect to the Business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee agrees, covenants and acknowledges that, from and after the Effective Date, Employee will not, and will cause its affiliates which it controls not to, disclose, give, sell, use, or otherwise divulge any Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may disclose such information (i) if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Applicable Law, (ii) if the same currently is, or hereafter is, in the public domain through no fault of Employee, or (iii) if the same is later acquired by Employee from another source and Employee is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential. If Employee or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such information, the Disclosing Party shall provide Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Company may seek, at its expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Company, the Disclosing Party nonetheless, based on the advice of counsel, is required to disclose such information to any tribunal, the Disclosing Party, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information which such counsel advises the Disclosing Party it is legally required to disclose.
 
 
4

 

4.2.           Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement or upon an earlier request of Company, Employee will return or deliver to Company all tangible forms of such Confidential Information in Employee’s possession or control, including but not limited to documents, records or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof.

4.3.           Confidential Information.  For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with their businesses, including but not limited to (i) customer lists, project or proposal lists and other related information; (ii) business development, growth and other strategic business plans; (iii) accounting and business methods, (iv) services or products and the marketing of such services and products; (v) fees, costs and pricing structures; (vi) designs; (vii) analysis; (viii) drawings, photographs and reports; (ix) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (x) flow charts, manuals and documentation; (xi) data bases; (xii) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice; (xiii) copyrightable works; (xiv) all technology and trade secrets; and (xv) all similar and related information in whatever form.

ARTICLE V
COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE, SOLICIT OR DISPARAGE

5.1.           Non-Compete. During, and for a period of one year after, the term of this Agreement (the “Time Covenant”), Employee covenants that it shall not, either individually or as a partner, joint venturer, consultant, shareholder, member or representative of another Person or otherwise, directly or indirectly, participate in, engage in, or have a financial or management interest in, or assist any other Person in any business operation or any enterprise if such business operation or enterprise engages, or would engage, in the Business in the Subject Market, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Employee from owning up to one percent (1%) of a publicly traded company nor shall it prohibit Employee from providing Permitted Outside Services.
 
 
5

 

5.2.           Non-Solicit. During the Time Covenant, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, whether for its own account or for the account of any Person (other than Company) that is in competition with Company (A) solicit, recruit, hire, engage in any activity that would cause any Person who is as of the Closing Date, or was during the 12 months prior to the Closing Date, employed in the Business to violate any agreement with Company, endeavor to entice away any such Person from Company, interfere with the relationship of Company with such Person or induce any such Person to reject any employment offer by Company or (B) solicit, entice or induce any Person who is, or was a Customer or Supplier to (i) become a Customer or Supplier of any other Person engaged in any business activity that competes with the Business, (ii) cease doing business with Company or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of Company with any such person, team, Customer or Supplier. For purposes of this Section 5.2, a “Customer” means any Person which has been during the 12-month period prior to the Closing Date a customer of the Business or shall have been contacted by Employee in the six-month period prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of soliciting it to become a customer of the Business; and a “Supplier” means any Person which has been during the 12-month period prior to the Closing Date a supplier or vendor of the Business.

5.3.           Non-Disparage. Employee covenants that it will not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, make any statement, written or oral, or perform any other act or omission that is intended to be materially detrimental to the goodwill of the Business, except as compelled by judicial or administrative process.

5.4.           Enforceability and Remedies. The parties hereby agree that all restrictions and agreements contained in this Article V, including, without limitation, those relating to the Time Covenant, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the Business and to carry out the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and any objections or reservations to such restrictions or agreements are hereby waived. Employee hereby agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Article V will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms.  Accordingly, the parties agree that upon any breach of this Article V, Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened further breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit Company’s remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Employee of any of the provisions of this Agreement that may be pursued by or made available to Company.

5.5.           Extension of Time Covenant. If, during the Time Covenant, Employee is not in compliance with such restrictions, then Company shall be entitled, among other remedies, to compliance by Employee with the terms of such provisions for an additional number of days that equals the number of days during which such noncompliance occurred.

EXHIBIT 10.6
 
Advisory Board Consulting Agreement

THIS ADVISORY BOARD CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of September 13, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between BROOKE HUMPHRIES (“Consultant”), and NIGHTCULTURE, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Company”).

WHEREAS, Consultant and the Company are party to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase, and Consultant agreed to sell (the “Acquisition”), substantially all of the assets used, or usable in an event promotion business operated by Consultant and Jeremy Word under the name “Full Access and Prototype Industries” (the “Business”) in Dallas County, Texas and each county adjoining Dallas County (the “Subject Market”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and as a condition to closing of the purchase and sale contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Consultant agreed to enter into a consulting agreement pursuant to which Consultant would provide services to the Company as an advisory director and provide consulting services in connection with events promoted and produced by the Company in the Subject Market in order to preserve the value of the Business following closing of the purchase and sale contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF SERVICES

1.1.           Description of Services. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Company hereby retains Consultant as a member of the Advisory Board of, and a consultant to, the Company, and Consultant hereby agrees to:

 (a)           Act as a member of the Company’s Advisory Board and attend periodic meetings of the Company’s Advisory Board (the “Advisory Board Service”); and

 (b)           Provide services with respect to the promotion and production of events by the Company in the Subject Market (each such event being a “Covered Event”); including oversight of all phases of promotion and production of each Covered Event (such services being the “Consulting Services”).

1.2.           Nature of Services. Consultant’s relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee. Accordingly, Consultant will not be eligible for any employee benefits, nor will the Company make deductions from payments made to Consultant for taxes, which shall be solely Consultant’s responsibility. Consultant shall have no authority to enter into contracts which bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company.

1.3.           Additional Services and Consideration.  Nothing herein shall preclude Company and Consultant from entering into separate agreements to provide services in addition to those described in Section 1.1 above.  In the event that additional services are provided, the parties shall negotiate consideration for such services separate and apart from the consideration described in Article II and such other terms and conditions as may be agreed to which shall in no way alter or terminate the rights and responsibilities of the parties under this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
COMPENSATION

2.1.           Consultant Fee. As full consideration for the Advisory Board Service and the Consulting Services provided hereunder, Company will, not later than twenty (20) days after each Covered Event in the Subject Market, pay to the Consultant ten percent (10%) of the Net Profits (as defined below) for each Covered Event (which amount shall be referred to as the “Consultant Fee”).

2.2.           Net Profits Calculation. For purposes hereof, “Net Profits” shall mean the excess of all revenues received by Company from a Covered Event over all direct costs incurred by Company attributable to the promotion and production, or otherwise directly incurred with respect to the subject Covered Event.  Net Profits for a Covered Event shall be calculated (i) after deducting amounts paid or payable to co-promoters, co-producers, partners or any third parties holding an interest in the profits from the Covered Event, other than Jeremy Word, and (ii) before deducting (a) any corporate overhead of Company, (b) any Consultant Fee attributable to the Covered Event, and (c) amounts paid, or payable, to Jeremy Word as Covered Event Bonuses under the Employment Agreement between the Company and Jeremy Word.

ARTICLE IV
CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1.           Confidentiality. Consultant will hold in confidence and not use to the detriment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, and will cause each of its Affiliates which it controls to hold in confidence and not use to the detriment of the Company or any of its Affiliates, both during the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years after its termination, all Confidential Information (as defined below) with respect to the Business. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Consultant agrees, covenants and acknowledges that, from and after the Effective Date, Consultant will not, and will cause its affiliates which it controls not to, disclose, give, sell, use, or otherwise divulge any Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant may disclose such information (i) if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Applicable Law, (ii) if the same currently is, or hereafter is, in the public domain through no fault of Consultant, or (iii) if the same is later acquired by Consultant from another source and Consultant is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential. If Consultant or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such information, the Disclosing Party shall provide Company with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Company may seek, at its expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Company, the Disclosing Party nonetheless, based on the advice of counsel, is required to disclose such information to any tribunal, the Disclosing Party, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information which such counsel advises the Disclosing Party it is legally required to disclose.

4.2.           Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement or upon an earlier request of Company, Consultant will return or deliver to Company all tangible forms of such Confidential Information in Consultant’s possession or control, including but not limited to documents, records or any other material and copies or reproductions thereof.

4.3.           Confidential Information.  For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean information that is not generally known to the public and that is used, developed or obtained by Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with their businesses, including but not limited to (i) customer lists, project or proposal lists and other related information; (ii) business development, growth and other strategic business plans; (iii) accounting and business methods, (iv) services or products and the marketing of such services and products; (v) fees, costs and pricing structures; (vi) designs; (vii) analysis; (viii) drawings, photographs and reports; (ix) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (x) flow charts, manuals and documentation; (xi) data bases; (xii) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice; (xiii) copyrightable works; (xiv) all technology and trade secrets; and (xv) all similar and related information in whatever form.

5.1.           Non-Compete. During, and for a period of one year after, the term of this Agreement (the “Time Covenant”), Consultant covenants that it shall not, either individually or as a partner, joint venturer, consultant, shareholder, member or representative of another Person or otherwise, directly or indirectly, participate in, engage in, or have a financial or management interest in, or assist any other Person in any business operation or any enterprise if such business operation or enterprise engages, or would engage, in the Business in the Subject Market, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Consultant from owning up to one percent (1%) of a publicly traded company.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during and following the term of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall not apply to, or in any way prohibit, the production or promotion of events by Consultant at venues owned, in part or in whole, by Consultant, provided that DJ/Show fees do not exceed $7,500.

5.2.           Non-Solicit. During the Time Covenant, Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, whether for its own account or for the account of any Person (other than Company) that is in competition with Company (A) solicit, recruit, hire, engage in any activity that would cause any Person who is as of the Closing Date, or was during the 12 months prior to the Closing Date, employed in the Business to violate any agreement with Company, endeavor to entice away any such Person from Company, interfere with the relationship of Company with such Person or induce any such Person to reject any employment offer by Company or (B) solicit, entice or induce any Person who is, or was a Customer or Supplier to (i) become a Customer or Supplier of any other Person engaged in any business activity that competes with the Business, (ii) cease doing business with Company or (iii) otherwise interfere with the relationship of Company with any such person, team, Customer or Supplier. For purposes of this Section 5.2, a “Customer” means any Person which has been during the 12-month period prior to the Closing Date a customer of the Business or shall have been contacted by Consultant in the six-month period prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of soliciting it to become a customer of the Business; and a “Supplier” means any Person which has been during the 12-month period prior to the Closing Date a supplier or vendor of the Business.

5.3.           Non-Disparage. Consultant covenants that it will not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, make any statement, written or oral, or perform any other act or omission that is intended to be materially detrimental to the goodwill of the Business, except as compelled by judicial or administrative process.

5.4.           Enforceability and Remedies. The parties hereby agree that all restrictions and agreements contained in this Article V, including, without limitation, those relating to the Time Covenant, are necessary and fundamental to the protection of the Business and to carry out the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and any objections or reservations to such restrictions or agreements are hereby waived. Consultant hereby agrees that the remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Article V will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach are not readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms.  Accordingly, the parties agree that upon any breach of this Article V, Company shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief and may obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened further breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit Company’s remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Consultant of any of the provisions of this Agreement that may be pursued by or made available to Company.

5.5.           Extension of Time Covenant. If, during the Time Covenant, Consultant is not in compliance with such restrictions, then Company shall be entitled, among other remedies, to compliance by Consultant with the terms of such provisions for an additional number of days that equals the number of days during which such noncompliance occurred.
