REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

 

The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, on and as of the date of this Agreement, as follows:

 

Section 4.1            Valid Existence.  The Purchaser (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and (ii) has all requisite power, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, necessary to own its Properties and carry on its business as its business is now being conducted, except where the failure to obtain such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.2            No Breach.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and compliance by the Purchaser with the terms and provisions hereof and the purchase of the Purchased Common Shares by the Purchaser do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any Law, governmental permit, determination or award having applicability to the Purchaser or any of its Properties, (b) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or (c) require any consent (other than standard internal consents), approval or notice under or result in a violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under (i) any note, bond, mortgage, license, or loan or credit agreement to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser or any of its Properties may be bound or (ii) any other such agreement, instrument or obligation, except in the case of clauses (a) and (c) where such violation, default, breach, termination, cancellation, failure to receive consent or approval, or acceleration with respect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3            Investment. The Purchased Common Shares are being acquired for the Purchaser’s own account, or the accounts of clients for whom the Purchaser exercises discretionary investment authority (all of whom the Purchaser represents and warrants are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), not as a nominee or agent, and with no present intention of distributing the Purchased Common Shares or any part thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intention of selling or granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same in any transaction in violation of the securities Laws of the United States of America or any state, without prejudice, however, to the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Purchased Common Shares under a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws or under an exemption from such registration available thereunder (including, if available, Rule 144 under the Securities Act).  If the Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of the Purchased Common Shares, the Purchaser understands and agrees (a) that it may do so only (i) in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities Law, as then in effect, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom or (ii) in the manner contemplated by any registration statement pursuant to which such securities are being offered, and (b) that stop-transfer instructions to that effect will be in effect with respect to such securities.

 

Section 4.4            Nature of Purchaser.  The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Company that (a) it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and (b) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Purchased Common Shares, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

Section 4.5            Receipt of Information; Authorization.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it has (a) had access to the Company SEC Documents, (b) received confidential, non-public information related to the Company’s restatement of its financial statements and (c) been provided a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Representatives of the Company regarding the matters described therein.

 

Section 4.6            Restricted Securities.  The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Common Shares it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, the Purchaser represents that it is knowledgeable with respect to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

Section 4.7            Certain Fees.  No fees or commissions will be payable by the Purchaser to brokers, finders or investment bankers with respect to the sale of any of the Purchased Common Shares or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company will not be liable for any such fees or commissions.  The Purchaser agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all

 

5



 

claims, demands or liabilities for broker’s, finder’s, placement or other similar fees or commissions incurred by the Purchaser or alleged to have been incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Common Shares or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 4.8            Legend.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Purchased Common Shares initially will bear the following legend: “These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  These securities may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged (except in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by these securities) or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder and, in the case of a transaction exempt from registration, unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under such Act or the issuer has received documentation reasonably satisfactory to it that such transaction does not require registration under such Act.”

 

Section 4.9            No Side Agreements.  There are no other agreements by, among or between the Company or its Affiliates on the one hand, and the Purchaser or its Affiliates on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby nor promises or inducements for future transactions between or among any of such parties.

 

ARTICLE V.
COVENANTS

 

Section 5.1            Taking of Necessary Action.  Each of the Parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to take or cause to be taken all action and promptly to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 5.2            Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Common Shares for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes.

 

ARTICLE VI.
CLOSING DELIVERIES

6



 

(c)           a receipt, dated the Closing Date, executed by the Company and delivered to the Purchaser certifying that the Company has received the Purchase Price with respect to the Purchased Common Shares issued and sold to the Purchaser.

 

ARTICLE VII.
INDEMNIFICATION, COSTS AND EXPENSES

 

Section 7.1            Indemnification by the Company.  The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its Representatives from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to (i) any actual or proposed use by the Company of the proceeds of the sale of the Purchased Common Shares or (ii) the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained herein; provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a representation or warranty is made prior to one year after the Closing.

 

Section 7.2            Indemnification by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company and its Representatives from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay and reimburse each of them for all costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such matter that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of or in any way related to the breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Purchaser contained herein; provided that such claim for indemnification relating to a breach of a representation or warranty is made prior to one year after the Closing.

 

Section 7.3            Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after any party seeking reimbursement has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third party, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.  Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying

 

7



 

Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof.  Such cooperation shall include furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control.  Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party.  After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or (B) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel with consent of the Indemnifying Party and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, involves no admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, and includes a complete release from liability of, the Indemnified Party.

 

ARTICLE VIII.

and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of acceptance of the Purchased Common Shares and payment therefor and repayment or repurchase thereof.  All indemnification obligations of the Company and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.7 and Article VII shall remain operative and in full force and effect for a period of one year after the Closing, unless such obligations are expressly terminated in a writing by the Parties referencing the particular Article or Section, regardless of any purported general termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.3            No Waiver; Modifications in Writing.

 

(a)           Delay.  No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or remedy.  The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a Party at law or in equity or otherwise.

 

(b)           Specific Waiver.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless signed by each of the Parties or each of the original signatories thereto affected by such amendment, waiver, consent, modification or termination.  Any amendment, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or and any consent to any departure by the Company from the terms of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.  Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on any Party in any case shall entitle any Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 8.4            Binding Effect; Assignment.

 

(a)           Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company, the Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

(b)           Assignment of Purchased Common Shares.  All or any portion of the Purchaser’s Purchased Common Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement may be sold, assigned or pledged by the Purchaser, subject to compliance with applicable securities Laws.

 

(c)           Assignment of Rights.  The Purchaser may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Company to any Affiliate of the Purchaser, and in such case the assignee shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights or obligations and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.  Except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.4(c), such rights and obligations may not otherwise be transferred except with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), in which case the assignee shall be deemed to be the Purchaser hereunder with respect to such assigned rights or obligations and shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.7            Removal of Legend.  The Company shall remove the legend described in Section 4.8 from the certificates evidencing the Purchased Common Shares at the request of the Purchaser submitting to the Company such certificates, together with such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Company or required by its transfer agent, unless the Company, with the advice of counsel, reasonably determines that such removal is inappropriate; provided that no opinion of counsel shall be required in the event the Purchaser is effecting a sale of such Purchased Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement.  The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser to effect removal of such legend.  The legend described in Section 4.8 shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of Purchased Common Shares upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities Laws, (i) such Purchased Common Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company (with any law firm set forth under Section 8.6 being deemed acceptable), in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of such Purchased Common Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with
