Our Services

Global Business Services

 NetSol has the technical knowledge and business experience to ensure the optimization of the development process in alignment with basic business principles.  The Company’s global business services offer a broad array of professional services to clients in the global commercial markets and specializes in the application of advanced and complex IT enterprise solutions to achieve its customers' strategic objectives. Global business services include IT Consulting & Services; NetSol Defense Division; Business Intelligence, Independent System Review (ISR); Information Security, Outsourcing Services and Software Process Improvement Consulting; maintenance and support of existing systems; and project management.

As part of the Company’s GBS strategy, each subsidiary adheres to the BestShoring® provides BestSolutions™ model.  Each subsidiary expounds on that model by providing IT Consulting services unique to their client base.  The development of solutions for clients has resulted in the development of vertical offerings catering to various industries and accordingly, diversifying NetSol’s offerings.

Business Intelligence (BI) solution providers must have both the capability to service BI customers using its own resources but also service the customers’ international affiliates.  Typical BI projects run into several years of phased implementation and rely on expensive international resources with a very restricted and limited accessibility.  As such, management believes, NetSol’s competitors compromise on quality by turning BI projects into IT projects, which is a recipe for failure.  Our strategy is simple; we identify the business needs of our potential customer and involve our industry domain experts directly with business managers at the client side.  This results in ownership of the project with the business group rather than the IT group which is involved in the overall initiative only from a support and facilitation standpoint.

Independent System Review (ISR) delivers high quality independent review of software systems running, or under deployment, at client sites. NetSol leverages its rich quality assurance experience in customization and implementation, as well as application development in finance and other domains.  It employs a range of automated quality assurance tools in providing independent assurance to customers regarding the reliability and performance of their new software systems.  The actual testing may be performed both onsite and offsite for the clients.

An ever growing awareness of highly publicized IT Security problems, coupled with greater demands by international business partners, has led the movement of companies world-wide towards compliance with internationally recognized Information Security Systems standards.  Information Systems Security or Information Assurance applies to all systems in all departments of an organization whether on a computer disk, paper or in the heads of employees.  Information Security services is provided by NetSol’s Infosec Unit.  This unit provides services to secure all corporate information and its supporting processes, systems and networks.  NetSol’s Information Security Services is a group of vendor-neutral, dedicated security consultants with real-life field experience.  The Infosec group utilizes industry standard security best practices coupled with best-of-breed products to deliver proven and robust Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).  INFOSEC services include:  managed security services; BS-7799/ISO 27001 Consultancy, Information Security Assessment, Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment; Disaster Recovery Planning; and, Secure Network Design.

Software Process Improvement Consulting provides quality engineering and related consulting services to technology companies.  The services include: consultancy, facilitation services and implementation support for CMMI appraisal, all of these activities are broadly developed under the guidelines of SEI based CMMI processes as well as the information security consulting practices.

Additional services and products are provided to meet local needs within the operating regions.

Our Products

NetSol Financial Suite™

The Company develops advanced software systems for the lease and finance industries. Like our services, our product offerings are fashioned to provide a Best Product for Best Solution™ model.  Our offerings include our flagship global solution, NetSol Financial Suite (“NFS”)™, a robust suite of five software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and finance cycle starting from quotation origination through end of contract. The Company’s over eight years of effort has resulted in over 60 modules grouped in five comprehensive applications.  The five software applications under NFS™ have been designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and are capable of dealing with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual, multi-distributor and multi-manufacturer environments.  Each application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
 
The constituent software applications are:
 
·           Point of Sale (POS).  POS is a front office processing system for companies in the financial sector.  It provides a quotation system which also incorporates a simulation for all kinds of financial products using a built-in loan calculator.   POS includes a proposal module which gathers all the required information from the customer in order to create finance or leasing contracts.  POS boasts a document management module which manages all the documents required in making the contract, such as bank statements and identity information.  POS incorporates a workflow engine that ensures smooth transition of tasks and streamlines the processes. It can work as an independent web-based system for all types of financial institutions including, but not limited to banks and finance companies.

·           Credit Application Processing System (CAP). CAP provides companies in the financial sector an environment to handle the incoming credit applications from dealers, agents, brokers and the direct sales force. LeaseSoft.CAP automatically gathers information from different interfaces like credit rating agencies, evaluation guides, and contract management systems and scores the applications against defined scorecards. This automated workflow permits the credit team members to make their decisions more quickly and accurately. Implementation of CAP dramatically reduces application-processing time in turn resulting in greater revenue through higher number of applications finalized in a given time. CAP reduces the probability of a wrong decision thus, again, providing a concrete business value through minimizing the bad debt portfolio. CAP is a database independent online system developed in Microsoft's .Net framework. Toyota Leasing Thailand and BMW Financial Services China are the first two clients of CAP. It can be run from any PC with normal specifications, which is a key benefit for clients.
 
·           Contract Management System (CMS).  CMS provides comprehensive business functionality that enables its users to effectively and smoothly manage and maintain a contract with the most comprehensive details throughout its life cycle. It provides interfaces with company banks and accounting systems. CMS effectively maintains details of all business partners that do business with the company including, but not limited to, customers, dealers, debtors, guarantors, insurance companies and banks. Developed with the input of a number of leasing consultants, this product represents a complete lease and finance product. NetSol’s CMS provides business functionality for all areas that are required to run an effective, efficient and customer oriented lease and finance business.
 
 
·           Wholesale Finance System (WFS).  WFS automates and manages the floor plan/bailment activities of dealerships through a finance company. The design of the system is based on the concept of one asset/one loan to facilitate asset tracking and costing. The system covers credit limit, payment of loan, billing and settlement, stock auditing, online dealer and auditor access, and ultimately the pay-off functions.  A separate online add-on module, Dealer & Auditor Access System (DAS), allows dealers to view their outstanding limits and current asset-wise balances through an interface with the finance company.  WFS consists of the following four modules:  Credit Request Management Module (CRM); Loan Management Module (LMS); Stock Auditing Module (SAS); and Billing & Settlement Module (B&S).
 
 
·           Fleet Management System (FMS).  FMS is designed to efficiently handle all fleet management needs.  FMS is easily integrated with CMS and WFS as well as with any third party contract management system to ensure a single comprehensive system.  FMS’ key features include: a detailed tracking information on every driver and vehicle; customizable reports; periodic reporting on fleet related aspects; internet based access to information; integration with third party software; and, linkage to GPS for real time tracking.

Implementation Process

The implementation process normally spans three to six months.  NetSol derives its income both from selling the license to use the products, as well as from related software services. The related services include requirement study/gap analysis, customization, if required on the basis of gaps development, testing, configuration, installation at the client site, data migration, training, user acceptance testing, supporting initial live operations and, finally, the long term maintenance of the system. Any changes or enhancement done is also charged to the customer. In the requirements study/gaps analysis, the NetSol team goes to the client site to study the client’s business and functional requirements and maps them against the existing functionality available in NFS™. With the maturing of our products, free requirement studies tend to yield few, if any gaps.  The highly parameterized NFS™ solutions are configured to meet the clients’ requirements. This is followed by thorough testing, which takes place at our development facility, although some of these steps may also be carried out at the clients’ locations.  Based on successful testing, the system is installed at the client’s site.  When required, this involves migration of data from an older system to the NFS™ database.  Successful installation is followed by user and administration training.  Both functional and business users are involved.  After training, user acceptance testing is conducted, where client’s nominated staff, along with NetSol consultants, tests the system against business requirements. Upon acceptance, the system is then considered ready for normal business use. NFS™ provides mission critical software solutions, and the entire business operations of our clients hinge on successful performance of the system. Hence in the early days after going live, NetSol consultants remain at the client site to assist the company in smooth operations. After this phase, the regular maintenance and support services phase for the implemented software begins. In addition to the daily rate paid by the customer for each consultant, the customer also pays for all the transportation related expenses, boarding of the consultants, and a living allowance. NetSol’s involvement in all of the above steps is priced to bring value to our customers and increase our profitability from our interactions.

Pricing and Revenue Streams

The company’s NFS™ revenue streams occur through the following three main areas:  product licensing, implementation related services, and maintenance and support related services.  License fees can vary generally between $100,000 for SaaS minimal modules to over $1,000,000 for more robust multiple module implementations.  There are various attributes which determine the level of complexity, a few of which are: number of contracts; size of the portfolio; business strategy of the customer; number of business users; and branch network of the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.  However, revenue from sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percent of completion basis.  Implementation related services, including gap analysis, configuration, data migration, user acceptance testing (UAT) and training  are recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method.  Maintenance and support related services are then provided on a continued basis.  Revenue from software services includes fixed price contracts and is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method using the output measure of “Unit of Work Completed.”  The annual maintenance fee, which usually is an agreed upon percentage of overall monetary value of the implementation, then becomes an ongoing revenue stream realized on yearly basis.

Growth Prospects for NFS™

Growth prospects for NFS™ are linked to the maturing of the product portfolio and its growing customer base across different geographic and product markets. With a next generation product ready for testing at customer sites, NetSol is eyeing key international markets for growth in sales. Its sales strategy now carefully balances expansion into new geographic markets, including North and South Americas, and further consolidation of its already leading position in Asia Pacific.

Growth in North America is expected to come from the huge potential market for replacement of legacy systems. The next generation version of NFS™ is aimed at providing a highly flexible solution based on latest technology and advanced architecture for the North American customers looking to replace their legacy systems.

On the other hand, growth in NetSol’s traditionally strong base in Asia Pacific is expected through diversification across market segments, to include new customers in related banking and commercial lending areas. At the same time, the existing customer base will be tapped for increased service and maintenance revenues by offering enhanced features and new solutions to emerging customer needs.

NetSol’s growth strategy through joint ventures and partnerships will provide an important thrust to this growth strategy. Already, it is aggressively exploring NFS™ business in the Middle East through its Atheeb NetSol joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Another joint venture in Brazil is expected to provide access to an exciting new customer base in South America.

Besides the growth in revenues expected through its next generation solution, NetSol expects to continue selling its current version to businesses looking for a mature and globally tested solution. Future growth will therefore involve increased revenues from both the current version and the next generation of NFS™.

NFS™ has already been winning awards and appreciation in regional markets. The most exciting of these is the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Award that it won in 2007. This prestigious award is testimony to the quality and maturity of NFS™.

LeasePak
 
While the new generation of NFS™ is designed to be a truly global solution ready for customization in any market, the Company has historically provided products tailored to the various markets.  In North America, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”) has and continues to develop the LeasePak Productivity modules as an additional companion set of products to operate in conjunction with the LeasePak base system licensed software.  LeasePak handles every aspect of the lease or loan lifecycle, including credit application origination, credit adjudication, pricing, documentation, booking, payments, customer service, collections, midterm adjustments, and end-of-term options and asset disposition.
 
LeasePak’s tracking modules manage critical stages of the lifecycle, allowing users to process work using fully customizable task queues. LeasePak also includes an extensive collection of reports including origination and portfolio management, accounting, and asset financial management reports.
 
Additionally, NTNA offers LeasePak users a comprehensive toolkit of application interfaces to streamline portfolio management system with best-of-breed, third-party tools and enterprise applications. Designed to work with web services as well as with the client-server architecture, Link IT streamlines application integration and reduces version-maintenance overhead.  The integrated document generation for LeasePak, Doc IT, auto-generates the letters and documents required to book and finalize a deal. Using private-label customer templates, Doc IT generates letters and documents, delivers them, and archives them for instant access throughout the life of the contract, asset, and customer relationship.
 
This complete and integrated toolset enables the LeasePak user to leverage the power of the system to streamline originations, integrate the dealer/vendor network, automate documentation, enhance customer service, manage risk, and control infrastructure overhead.
 
During 2010, the NTNA Development team released two LeasePak version upgrades, LeasePak 6.2A and LeasePak 6.3A. These two sets of technical and functional enhancements were successfully released for general availability and have gone into daily use by the company’s clients. With the release of versions 6.2A and LeasePak 6.3A, LeasePak users have new options for navigation, reporting, asset remarketing, accounting, and integration with complementary applications, both within the organizational infrastructure and via the Internet.  The breadth of the functional enhancements contained in these two releases was truly impressive and has won accolades from NTNA customers.
 
Highlights among these improvements in LeasePak usability include:
 
·  
LeasePak LaunchPad  – Allows for user-level configurability of the LeasePak opening screen, allowing the system to be tailored to the individual user’ s role in the organization and scope of tasks. Enables the user to have immediate access to the specific functional areas of LeasePak used the most frequently.
 
·  
Customizable Lease/Lessee  Summary Screen – This tool is particularly valuable for those whose tasks include customer service and collections, enabling the LeasePak user to have instantaneous access to the salient data for any finance contract or for any institution customer (the "Lessee"), including summary information for all active payment schedules.
 
·  
Password Security Enhancements – enables LeasePak to work with password requirements and acceptance protocols shared by other enterprise applications and fully compliant with contemporary security requirements, including those of regulated financial institutions.
 
·  
Increased payment application and accounting flexibility — While LeasePak has long been an industry leader in its flexibility and ability to adapt to an organization’s specific business processes, enhancements delivered in 2010 extended this competitive advantage even further. Users now have a wide range of new options for applying cash payments, adjusting asset costs, accommodating new tax accounting requirements, tracking property insurance, and automating the adjustment or reversal of within the active term of a contract.

·  
Credit Bureau Interface – Enables LeasePak users to streamline the process of credit adjudication and contract acceptance and pricing. For organizations operating in the highly-competitive sectors of micro-and small-ticket finance, this enhanced functionality results in competitively-critical improvements in decision times.
 
·  
File Attachment URL - Enhances the ability of LeasePak to perform document updates and extensions through a web service.
 
·  
Improved Collections Tracking  Tools – These extend the LeasePak summary screens to give collections and customer service personnel instantaneous access to a wider range of data to view payment histories.
 
·  
LeasePak Module Enhancements- With its modular architecture, LeasePak has been designed to enable users to extend its functionality significantly through the use of LeasePak modules. 2010 saw the release and/or improvement of LeasePak modules in key operational areas. Some highlights are:
 
·  
LeasePak Asset Focus Module – Gives LeasePak users the option to use either of two fundamentally different accounting practices: unique in the industry, LeasePak is capable of accounting at the contract level or by what is known as asset-based accounting. This flexibility gives LeasePak the ability to accommodate the accounting and customer service requirements of bank leasing teams, captive finance organizations within a manufacturing entity, and independent finance organizations.
 
·  
VIN Validation enhancement to LeasePak Vehicle Finance module –Automates the validation of a vehicle VIN number, streamlining the completion and assuring the accuracy of vehicle finance contracts and associated documentation.
 
 
NFS™ - WFS

In an area of the UK finance new to NTE, a customized LeaseSoft solution was delivered to a major UK short-term consumer lending business. The solution supports a wide range of consumer loan products with a focus on the sub-prime sector.

Being focused on sub-prime, the application is highly effective in the areas of customer service and delinquency management.
 
LeaseSoft remains core to the NTE business.  Going into 2011/12, the division has made a number of significant enhancements, which will further cement LeaseSoft as a premier application for existing customers and new prospects alike.

Organic Growth, Alliances and Joint Ventures

Outsourcing Services-NetSol-Innovation

In November 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Innovation Group (formerly referred to as TiG) NetSol-Innovation (Pvt) Ltd., (“NetSol-Innovation”), a Pakistani company, provides support services enabling the Innovation Group to scale solution delivery operations in key growth markets. NetSol-Innovation operations are centered in NetSol’s IT Village, Lahore, Pakistan. NetSol owns a majority of the venture.

NetSol-Brasilinvest Group
 
Netsol Technologies Inc. is establishing a joint venture company in Brazil with Brasilinvest Group one of the iconic corporations to facilitate economic growth in Brazil.
 
The Brasilinvest Group was founded in 1975 by Brazilian business leader Mario Garnero. It is Brazil's first private development agency. From its inception, Brasilinvest has played the role of a classic "banque d'affaires", a modern-day merchant bank. Along with 80 partners in 16 different countries, the Group has already coordinated, in Brazil and abroad, projects that exceed US$ 4 billion.

Nowadays, Brasilinvest takes a leading role in structuring, developing, implementing and commercializing projects and business in the sectors of real estate, high technology, environment, agribusiness, energy, health, infrastructure and telecommunication, working in fundraising and investment orientation along with international investors.
 
The joint venture will target whole of South America with a special emphasis on Brazil to sell and deliver NetSol Financial Suite (NFS) and other IT related Services.  The collaboration with Brasilinvest provides the NetSol operations in Brazil with management consisting of not only NetSol product experts but Brasilinvest market experts.  We anticipate a modest investment of $500,000 in year one to establish the NetSol operations in Brazil.
 
Growth through Establishing Partner Networks
 
NetSol is well aware that market reach is essential to effectively market IT products and services around the globe. For this purpose, the Company is looking forward to establishing a network of partners worldwide. These companies will represent NetSol in their respective countries and will develop business for NetSol. Keeping these strategic objectives in view, NetSol has entered into a mutually non-exclusive agreement with Singapore Computer Systems (“SCS”) that allows SCS to market LeaseSoft in the entire Asia Pacific region.

NetSol is a member of the world’s largest equipment leasing association, the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association of North America, or ELFA.  Boasting more than 1,000 members, the ELFA is a strong presence in the $500 billion North American market.

In Japan, NetSol has partnered with a leading systems integrator in the Japanese asset finance and leasing industry to grow its business in Japan’s lending market. The partnership will facilitate NetSol’s product offerings and consulting services to clients operating in Japan, while also enabling Japanese lending companies to expand their business operations to other, high growth Asia Pacific markets. The relationship will enable NetSol and its partner to mutually leverage their respective strengths in the asset finance and leasing space with NetSol’s multi-country experience and the partner’s rich Japanese market expertise.

The Company remains willing to explore mergers and acquisition opportunities with a focus on strategic acquisitions that provide immediate, strong, bottom line benefits.  Management believes that an ideal target will fulfill one or many of these criteria:  geographic synergy/providing a foot print in a market; unique and/or complimentary product lines; provide additional, and cost effective development hubs, or complimentary or target customers in a previously untapped market.  While there is no guaranty that an acquisition which appears to be sound will ultimately benefit the Company, management continues to analyze the price, value and market of any potential target.  The model of targeting well established, profitable product companies, within NetSol’s domain, management believes, has proven successful with our recent acquisitions.  Management believes this model can be replicated over the next three years.

This support center is powered by highly qualified technical and business personnel. ASC NFS in conjunction with our Asia Pacific Region are supporting DFS companies in seven different countries in Asia and this list can increase as other DFS companies from other countries may also opt for NFS.  In July 2008, the Company entered into a new Frame Agreement with Daimler Financial Services AG (“DFS”) for the Asia Pacific and Africa region.  This agreement was renewed in October 2010 for an additional 3 year term.  The agreement, which serves as a base line agreement for use of the NFS products by DFS companies and affiliated companies, represents an endorsement of the NFS product line and the capabilities of NetSol to worldwide DFS entities. This continued endorsement has had a tremendous impact on our perspective customers, it has helped our sales and Business Development personnel to market and sell our NFS solution to blue chip customers around the world.  This relationship has resulted in new agreements with DFS and has served as a marketing source which has resulted in agreements with companies such as Toyota and BMW.

NTE's strategic relationship with Neptune Software plc has provided the Company with the opportunity to further develop its business in Africa. Neptune has a number of Banking clients in Africa whose interest in Leasing and Asset Finance is demonstrably increasing, this being drive by a number of fiscal factors and the desire in the region to mechanise agricultural production in particular.

Technical Affiliations

The Company currently has technical affiliations such as: a Microsoft Certified GOLD Partner; a member of the Intel Solution blueprint Program; IBM Business Partner and, an Oracle Certified Partner.

Marketing and Selling

NetSol management continues its optimism that the Company will experience ever increasing opportunities for its product and services offerings in 2012 and beyond.  The Company is aggressively growing the marketing and sales organizations in its regions.  The objective of the Company's marketing program is to create and sustain preference and loyalty for NetSol as a leading provider of enterprise solutions, e-services consulting, software solutions and business process outsourcing.  Marketing is performed at the corporate and business unit levels. The corporate marketing department has overall responsibility for communications, advertising, public relations and the website and, also engineers and oversees central marketing and communications programs for use by each of the business units.
 
 
11

 
Our dedicated marketing personnel, within the regions, undertake a variety of marketing activities, including sponsoring focused client events to demonstrate our skills and products, sponsoring and participating in targeted conferences and holding private briefings with individual companies. We believe that the industry focus of our sales professionals and our business unit marketing personnel enhances their knowledge and expertise in these industries and will generate additional client engagements.

The Markets

NetSol provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial industries. In the global commercial area, the Company's service offerings are marketed to clients in a wide array of industries including, automotive, chemical, textiles, Internet marketing, software, medical, banks, higher education and telecommunication associations, and, financial services.

Geographically, NetSol has operations on the West Coast of the United States, Central Asia, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. NetSol took the initiative as the first US NASDAQ listed company to dual list on the NASDAQ Dubai exchange in Dubai. Although UAE markets suffered the impact of recession, this move was primarily to introduce NetSol to the potential of the most capitalized Middle Eastern countries. By design, NetSol has increased its brand recognition in one of the most vibrant and dynamically growing regions.

NetSol researched and identified Brazil as one of the fastest emerging economies in BRIC nations. The growth rate in excess of 6% annually and a growing middle class offers tremendous new markets for NetSol business offerings in the auto manufacturing, financial services, banks, energy and oil sectors. Most of the major global auto manufacturers, such as VW, Fiat, Nissan, Mercedez-Benz and Toyota hold a majority of the market share. In terms of the energy and oil sectors, Petrobras is the biggest oil giant in Brazil and has one of the world’s most ambitious business plans for growth. NetSol intends to focus on these sectors for NFS and customized IT solutions and services. Management believes that the newly formed joint venture with the well reputed and established Brasilinvest Group will provide introduction to these companies to promote NetSol offerings.

The Asian continent including, Australia and New Zealand, from the perspective of marketing, are targeted by the Asia Pacific Region from its Bangkok, Beijing and Lahore facilities.  The marketing for our products and services in the Americas and Europe is carried out from our San Francisco Bay Area and London Metropolitan area offices.

People and Culture

The Company believes it has developed a strong corporate culture that is critical to its success. Its key values are delivering world-class quality software, client-focused timely delivery, leadership, long-term relationships, creativity, openness and transparency and professional growth. The services provided by NetSol require proficiency in many fields, such as software engineering, project management, business analysis, technical writing, sales and marketing, communication and presentation skills.

To encourage all employees to build on our core values, we reward teamwork and promote individuals who demonstrate these values. NetSol offers all of its employees the opportunity to participate in its stock option program. Also, the Company has an intensive orientation program for new employees to introduce our core values and a number of internal communications and training initiatives defining and promoting these core values. We believe that our growth and success are attributable in large part to the high caliber of our employees and our commitment to maintain the values on which our success has been based.  NetSol worldwide is an equal opportunity employer.

NetSol believes it should give back to the community and employees as much as possible.  Certain of our subsidiaries are located in regions where basic services are not readily available.  Where possible, NetSol acts to not only improve the quality of life of its employees but the standard of living in these regions.  An example of such programs are:

·  
Humanitarian Relief:  We are all aware of the devastation that can be wrought by natural disasters.  NetSol has historically supported earthquake and flood relief where the need is the greatest.  As recently as last year, the company established a fund raising effort on a worldwide basis to encourage outside and employee contributions to relief efforts.

·  
Literacy Program-- launched to educate low paid illiterate employees of the organization. The main objective of this program is to enable these resources to acquire basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills. The first phase of the plan was completed with astounding accomplishments; the people who could not even write a single word are now able to write complete letters within a span of 6 months. This initiative has been extremely successful and NetSol intends to further support this program.
 
 
12

 
·  
Noble Cause Fund--A noble cause fund has been established to meet medical and education expenses of the children of the low paid employees. NetSol employees voluntarily contribute a fixed amount every month to the fund and the Company matches the employee subscriptions with an equivalent amount contribution. A portion of this fund is utilized to support social needs of certain institutions and individuals, outside NetSol.

·  
Day Care Facility--NetSol’s human resources are its key assets and thus the company takes numerous steps to ensure the provision of basic comforts to its employees. In Pakistan, the provision of outside pre-school child care is a rarity.  Recently, a Child Day Care facility has been created in close proximity to the work premises equipped with the necessary essential staff and equipment. Married female employees are offered the opportunity to entrust complete care of their young ones to a trained and experienced staff. Child day care allows female employees to pay unhindered focused attention to work requirements while their child remains safe and comfortable. The premises and environment are neat and clean with all basic needs fulfilled to ensure complete care of the children.

·  
Preventative Health Care Program--In addition to the comprehensive out-patient and in-patient medical benefits, preventive health care has also been introduced. This phased program focuses on vaccination of our employees against Hepatitis – A/B, Tetanus, Typhoid and Flu, etc. This is a regular annual immunization program to keep employees healthy.

·  
NetSol Corporate University-- NetSol Corporate University (“NCU”) was established for developing human resources at NetSol. A need was felt to further develop and retain the talent at hand through strategic learning interventions to respond to growing competition and challenges.

Overall, NetSol as a global IT company has over 20% female employees with the biggest concentration in our development facility in Lahore and in the U.S. headquarters. The Company is an equal opportunity employer. Being a successful company with a well respected name in the business community, NetSol encourages its employees to actively participate and contribute to charitable contributions for catastrophic tragedies anywhere in the globe.

There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to perform the services we offer. The company runs an elaborate training program for different cadre of employees ranging from technical knowledge, business domains as well as communication, management and leadership skills.  The Company believes that it has been successful in its efforts to attract and retain the highest level of talent available, in part because of the emphasis on core values, training and professional growth. We intend to continue to recruit, hire and promote employees who share this vision.

As of June 30, 2011, we had 872 full-time employees and 7 part-time employees; comprised of 691 IT project and technical personnel; and 188 non-IT personnel.  The non-IT personnel include 29 employees in management, 47 employees in sales and marketing, 23 employees in accounting, 17 in customer support, and 72 in general and administration.  None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Competition

Neither a single company, nor a small number of companies, dominates the IT market in the space in which the Company competes. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those offered by NetSol. Some of these are large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and computer consulting firms that have greater financial resources than NetSol and, in some cases, may have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by NetSol.

In the NFS™ business space, the barriers to entry are getting higher. The products are getting more cutting edge while richness in functionality is paramount. Older companies have prolonged the life of their legacy products by creating web-based front ends, while the core of the systems has not been re-engineered.  In the case of NFS™, we compete chiefly against leading suppliers of IT solutions to the financial industry, including names such as Fimasys, International Decision Systems (IDS), Data Scan, CHP Consulting, 3i Infotech, Finnone and Nucleus Software.

In the IT based business services areas, we compete with both smaller local firms and many global IT services providers, including names such as Wipro, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway, HCL and TCS (Tata Consulting).

Our competition is based primarily in high cost locations in the US, UK and Europe as opposed to NetSol with its facility in Bangkok and Lahore. NetSol is now the only company in the leasing and finance solution space that provides regional solutions in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.  In addition, it is the only company in this space that is publicly listed and provides an offshore development infrastructure with CMMI level 5 accreditation.

Some of the competitors of the Company are International Decisions Systems, EDW, Data Scan, AIPAC, CHP, KPMG, LMK Resources, Systems Innovation (Si3), Bearing Point, Kalsoft, Systems Limited, Oratech Pakistan, TechAccess Pakistan a few others. These companies are scattered worldwide geographically. In terms of offshore development, we are in competition with some of the Indian companies such as Wipro, HCL, TCS, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway and others. Many of the competitors of NetSol have longer operating history, larger client bases, and longer relationships with clients, greater brand or name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, and public relations resources than NetSol. Existing or future competitors may develop or offer services that are comparable or superior to ours at a lower price, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Technology Campus was inaugurated in Lahore, Pakistan in May 2004.  This facility consists of 50,000 square feet of computer and general office space.  This facility is state of the art, purpose-built and fully dedicated for IT and software development; the first of its kind in Pakistan.  Title to this facility is held by NetSol Technologies Ltd. and is not subject to any mortgages.  The Company also signed a strategic alliance agreement with the IT ministry of Pakistan to convert the technology campus into a technology park.  By this agreement, the IT ministry has invested nearly 10 million Rupees (approximately $150,000) to install fiber optic lines and improve the bandwidth for the facility.  In order to cater for future business expansion and taking advantage of depressing real estate market, the company purchased two cottages adjacent to its main building. Total covered area of these cottages is 4,900 sq feet and it cost was approximately $250,000. The management has moved its accounts, finance, internal audit, company secretariat, costing and budgeting, graphics, technical communication & procurement departments into these cottages.

ITEM 7- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol’s financial position and results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2011.  It should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 A few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in 2010-2011 were:

•Executing a successful joint venture agreement with Atheeb Group
•Further expansion in the China market by adding new customers
•Certification of our smartOCI™ by SAP for integration into SAP applications
•Favorable renewal of the frame agreement with Daimler Financial Services AG
•Strategic understanding with SANY Auto Finance Company Limited for enhanced financial solutions and IT services
•Entry into  partnerships with CIBER Netherlands and Excelerated Sourcing Limited, UK
•Relocation of NetSol Beijing offices to accommodate expanded operations
•Successfully implemented ISO 20000 at NetSol PK
•Signed memorandum of understanding with Brasilinvest Group to launch a joint venture in Brazil
•Fortune 500 IT Company selected NetSol's smartOCI™ Search Engine as their e-procurement solution •NetSol PK won Teradata National IT Excellence Award
•NetSol PK’s Executive Vice President awarded CIO of the year from Teradata
•Successfully reassessed as CMMi Level 5 by SEI of Carnegie Mellon University
•Restructured global operational units by streamlining the regional delivery capabilities and sales organization Consolidated from three global regions to two regions with Region 1 the Americas and Europe and Region 2 Asia Pacific and the Middle East

The success of the Company, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on the Company's ability to: (a) continue to grow revenues and improve profits, (b) raise funds for continued operations and growth; (c) make a major entry in the US market and, (d) continue to streamline sales and marketing efforts in the Asia Pacific region, Europe, China and the Middle East, Japan and Australia. However, management's outlook for the continuing operations, which has been consolidated and has been streamlined, remains optimistic.

Marketing and Business Development Activities

Management has developed, and the board of directors has ratified, an aggressive 3-5 year growth strategy aimed at increasing competitiveness and financial strength.

This plan is designed to:

●        Achieve 15-25% annual revenue growth for next 5 years
●        Result in enhanced organic growth
●        Foster strategic and synergestic M&A and alliances
●        Enhance delivery capabilities in USA and Thailand locations


The plan contemplates the following enhanced activities and initiatives will accomplish these goals:
 
 
o  
The remarkable success and demand of NFS™ in China has led to long term planning to expand in the Chinese market. The overall steady economic growth in China and historic transformation of the auto sector (China outsold cars against the United States in number of units in 2009) combined with growing consumer spending, warrants hiring additional local Chinese staff and infrastructure improvement. Management is poised to create a ‘proximity development center’ or PDC and clients support team to better serve our growing customers base. The Chinese market offers huge opportunities in the auto sectors in comparison with the US market, thus offers a very strong growth opportunities for NFS.

o  
NetSol’s Beijing office more than doubled its office space on March 1, 2011; new local Chinese staff has been added and additional hiring continues.  The process of forming a new wholly owned subsidiary by the Company, as a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise under Chinese laws, is in progress and is expected to be completed in the current calendar year. NetSol is positioning China to become a dominant market for lending enterprise solutions for captive multinationals and local Chinese companies, including equipment
finance, big ticket leasing markets and the banking industry. In the lease and finance domain NetSol can claim the de facto leadership position in the rapidly growing Chinese market.
 
 
20

 
o  
Thailand has emerged as a new market for banking and auto finance. NetSol has formalized its presence in Bangkok by establishing a wholly owned subsidiary, NetSol Thai. The office space in Bangkok has been enhanced with new hires of local and international staff to address and support a very rapidly growing market. The pipeline of new customers is growing from the markets in Japan, South Korea, Australia, India and other regional markets. These markets will be serviced and supported from the Thailand office with strong sales and client support team. The Bangkok facility is intended to become the prime location for delivery and implementation for global customers and partners particularly in Asia Pacific.

o  
To date, few US-based fortune 500 captive auto finance companies have shown serious interest in NFS™.   We expect, however, to achieve stronger results through strengthening NetSol’s North American operation by augmenting the service levels of the local technical team with effective integration of the NetSol PK center of excellence, resulting in a seamless integration of core project delivery and global support teams. The consolidation period of 2009-2010 is over and we expect this mature and giant industry to add new capital investment.  NetSol is experiencing a growing interest in our next generation NFS solution which is  poised to go to market by late 2012 to expand our revenue base.
 
o  
The new and fast growing manifestations of Ecommerce, such as Cloud computing, are being utilized by some of our offerings and will be further explored by us for other offerings. Our new IP, AKA, smartOCI™ has been demonstrated and presented to major fortune 500 companies in the US as an on-demand, catalogue content management system. The demand of e-procurement search engine seems robust and attractive. Several new license sales activities are in the pipeline and we are analyzing the possibilities of spinning them out as a stand-alone Ecommerce new vertical for NetSol.

o  
Europe recently experienced a severe recession.  Despite this, NetSol Europe’s operations have been steady.  Further, the business outlook is positive and, if this continues, NTE is expected to expand its product line and hire stronger management personnel. Our relationship with existing clientele is very strong and we are cautiously expanding the sales and marketing efforts in the region.

o  
The market of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is robust, rich and well capitalized, offering vast opportunities for NetSol through our joint venture. Recently, there have been a few new local IT contracts awarded but our vision is based on long term and high value projects in the defense, public, infrastructure and multinational auto captive markets. In order to be equal partners with a major conglomerate, Atheeb Group, a $2 billion group in revenue, we need to have the serious financial wherewithal and resources to bid on major projects exceeding $100 million each in value. Currently, the joint venture has 10 employees based in Riyadh with direct delivery and implementation support from NetSol PK. The long term plan is to expand staffing levels and provide financial capability to bid in major projects with Atheeb.

o  
Our NFS™ suite of products is currently undergoing a major initiative towards developing the next generation of solutions. The Company believes that this would change the landscape for NetSol and increase both demand and the market. We are in the middle of developing a comprehensive sales and marketing plan requiring new personnel, markets and investment.

o  
In order to maximize the market and product potential of our SAP and Ecommerce line, highlighted by our smartOCI™ product, we are spinning this line off into its own operational entity.  We believe this will better enhance product and market development by providing a dedicated management and fulfillment staff.
 

●           Growth – New Alliances, Mergers & Acquisition

o  Pursue new opportunities in emerging markets of Latin America - such as Brazil and Argentina - through local partners. These focused and niche markets for leasing and finance verticals represent new opportunities to introduce NFS™ and related service offerings.

o The markets in the US and UK offer a host of complementary companies with impressive client bases to expand the distribution channels for NFS™ and its new generation product line.  There are   established small sized Companies, with relatively low valuations, which can become part of NetSol on an affordable basis. It is important to seek out these companies in order to grow our customer base, revenue and net margins by leveraging our delivery and implementation model.

Funding and Investor Relations:

The fundamental challenge constantly facing the management is to achieve sustainable growth with a healthy balance sheet, without too much dilution. In light of global opportunities for organic growth and through alliances and M&A, there are certain opportunity costs for an inability to tap into these markets and areas. Therefore, management has the responsibility to broaden its horizon by prudently exploring all available vehicles to adequately capitalize the Company. Smart new capital may be needed to make NetSol a much healthier company with an impressive balance sheet and sufficient size to   participate in and win major projects in key markets. To summarize,   the following areas would need injections of new capital either from internal operations or external injections, dependent, in part, on market conditions.

·  
Expansion in China, Thailand and other emerging markets, including Latin America.
 
·  
Expanding the North American operation to roll out NetSol new generation solutions and enter Cloud Computing Solutions.
 
·  
Diversify in Ecommerce space such as smartOCI™ search engine.
 
·  
Support of bigger IT related public and defense sectors projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with our joint venture partner.
 
·  
Capital Expenditures for our next generation products, technology and infrastructure.
 
·  
Improve credit ratings for our new big customers and win the confidence of new and existing investors.
 
·  
Hiring and training of programmers, engineers, sales and marketing.
 
Capital may be injected through:  continued exercises of options by the officers in cash; new debt and stock offerings with “friends and family” investors who typically hold for long term investment and can be raised without the necessity of placement agent fees; and, such other capital raising methods that are both reasonable in terms and beneficial to the Company.

Investor Relations efforts will include:

·  
Working to grow our institutional investor base.
·  
Sharing the NetSol story with sell side analysts, funds, portfolio managers and the financial media.
·  
Aggressively positioning NetSol in front of major investors’ conferences and road shows to be organized by RedChip and other major institutions.
·  
Utilizing US mainstream media to highlight NetSol’s image and ‘niche’ business offering.
·  
Founding management’s anticipated continued investment in the Company displaying management’s belief in NetSol’s potential to new investors.
·  
Dedicating and focusing efforts to improve shareholder value.

Improving the Bottom Line:

Management believes that these measures will improve the bottom line on an ongoing basis:
 
·  
Improve pricing, sales volume and fee structures.
·  
Continue consolidation and reevaluating operating margins as ongoing activities.
·  
Streamline further cost of goods sold to improve gross margins to historical levels over 70%, as sales ramp up.
·  
Generate higher revenues per employee, enhance productivity and lower cost per employee.
·  
Optimize the utilization of NetSol PK resources, infrastructure, processes and disciplines to maximize the bottom-line and fully leverage the cost arbitrage.
·  
Grow process automation and leverage the best practices of CMMI level 5. Global delivery concept and integration will further improve both gross and net margins.
·  
Cost efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation to improve bottom line.
·  
Implement SAAS model in mature markets to improve visibility and cash flow.
·  
Retire Debt to reduce the interest cost significantly and to make every effort to avoid any one time charges.

Management continues to be focused on building its delivery capability and has achieved key milestones in that respect.  Key projects are being delivered on time and on budget, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal processes.  CMMI level companies are reassessed every three years by independent consultants
 
 
22

 
under the standards of the Carnegie Mellon University to maintain its CMMI Level 5 quality certification.  As required, NetSol was reassessed in 2010 and was successfully recertified as CMMI Level 5.  We believe that the CMMI standards are a key reason in NetSol’s demand surge worldwide. We remain convinced that this trend will continue for all NetSol offerings promoting further beneficial alliances and increasing the number and quality of our global customers.  The quest for quality standards is imperative to NetSol’s overall sustainability and success.  In 2008, NetSol became ISO 27001 certified, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security Management.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

Positive trends:

·  
The global recession and consolidations have opened doors for low cost solution providers such as NetSol. The BestShoring® model of NetSol is a catalyst in today’s environment.

·  
Global economic pressures and the recession have shifted users of IT processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions providers, to control costs and improve ROIs.

·  
Serious interest in NetSol’s next generation solution has been expressed by a few global companies.  Demonstrations and workshops with key global clients and partners of have been very well received. Hence, the new generation solution appears to be gaining momentum.

·  
GMAC – China, the implementation of first R2 for Wholesale Finance (WFS) is on track setting a strong foundation for growth. Two other key modules (CMS / CAP) are in the development stage and are expected to be marketed in fiscal 2012.
 
·  
China has become the world’s second largest economy, continuing to grow by over 9%   a year while growth in other industrial nations has declined or grown only marginally.

·  
China’s automobile and banking sectors have been unaffected by the global meltdown and   their recent automobile sales statistics have outperformed all other economies.

·  
As reported by the Associated Press, China surpassed the US as the number one automobile market in auto sales.  JD Powers & Associates anticipated further strong growth in future auto sales.  It is anticipated that this market opportunity will result in further penetration by NetSol into China’s burgeoning leasing and finance market.

·  
E-Commerce, new technologies, innovations and online activities are gaining momentum in many verticals.   New areas for diversification are opening for NetSol.

·  
The surviving IT companies, such as NetSol, with price advantage and a global presence, will gain further momentum as economic indicators turn positive. The bigger customers and targeted verticals are much more cost conscious and are seeking a better rate of return on investments in IT services. NetSol has an edge due to its BestShoring® model and proven track record of delivery and implementations worldwide.

·  
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is investing billions in healthcare, education, IT, infrastructure and many other new sectors. This makes it a most promising market for the Atheeb NetSol joint venture.

·  
Noticeable new interest emanating from the Latin America markets for NFS™.

·  
NetSol has never lost a product customer despite the recent severe recession. The dependency of our blue chip clients on NetSol solutions has further elevated new enhancements and services orders in the US.

·  
Improved outlook and earnings of bellwether technology companies in USA, reflecting the turnaround of this sector after recession.

 
23

 
·  
Global opportunities for NetSol to diversify its delivery capabilities to Bangkok, Thailand and such other new emerging economies that offer geopolitical stability and low cost IT resources, thereby reducing dependency upon the Lahore technology campus.

·  
Our global multi-national clients have continued to pursue deeper relationships in newer regions and countries. This reflects our customers’ dependencies and satisfaction with our NetSol Financial Suite of products.

·  
The levy of Indian IT sector excise tax of 35% (NASSCOM) on software exports is very positive for NetSol. In Pakistan there is a 15 year tax holiday on IT exports of services. There are 5 more years remaining on this tax incentive.

Negative trends:

·  
Geopolitical unrest due to extremism in the regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

·  
Significant strains in US-Pakistan relations.

·  
Recent turbulent political developments in the Arab world might delay activities and plans.

·  
Natural disasters in Japan and floods disaster in Pakistan have damaged their economies.

·  
The emergence of many smaller players offering IT solutions in China has resulted in greater price competition.
 
·  
The fear of renewed recession in light of U.S debt down-grade and the continued sluggish European market, could lead to our business in North America and Europe suffering.
 
·  
Dramatic and deep global recession has created a serious decline in business spending causing significant budget cuts for many of the Company’s target verticals.
 
·  
Tighter internal processes and budgets will cause delays in the receivables from a few clients.
 
·  
Tightened liquidity and credit restrictions in consumer spending has either delayed or reduced spending on business solutions and systems, squeezing IT budgets and extending decision making cycles.
 
·  
Anticipated worsening US deficit and a rise in inflation in coming years would put further stress on consumers and business spending.

·  
Higher oil prices in the US could deter the growth of GDP.

·  
Unrest and growing war in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional challenges.

·  
Management believes that the Pakistan rupee is overvalued and that once adjustments are made there might be both positive and negative impacts on the financial statements of the Company. Positive impact could be in terms of the price of our services while translating Pakistan revenues at a higher exchange rate in the consolidated revenue statement might result in negative impact on the financial statements in future.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition and multiple element arrangements, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.

 
24

 
REVENUE RECOGNTION

The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method.

Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.

MULTIPLE ELEMENT ARRANGEMENTS

We may enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a number of different combinations of software licenses, consulting services, maintenance and support, as well as training and development (multiple-element arrangements).

VSOE of fair value for each element is based on the price for which the element is sold separately. We determine the VSOE of fair value of each element based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When VSOE of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which such VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. The only exception to this guidance is when the only undelivered element is maintenance and support or other services, then the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Costs incurred to internally develop computer software products or to enhance an existing product are recorded as research and development costs and expensed when incurred until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.

The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the
 
 
25

 
reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
 
The company does impairment testing of the goodwill on an annual basis at the balance sheet date i.e., June 30th. In addition to our annual internal impairment testing, the Company retains the services of an independent valuation specialist to validate our findings.
 
The source of the Company’s goodwill relates to the acquisition of three companies namely NetSol PK Tech, CQ Systems, UK and McCue Systems, USA. NetSol PK Tech operates in the Asia Pacific region; CQ Systems (currently NetSol Technologies Europe Limited) operates in Europe; and McCue Systems (currently NetSol Technologies North America, Inc.) operates in the North American region. All these geographies are considered as different reporting units (segments). Goodwill arising from the acquisition of these companies has been allocated to their respective geographical segments to which they relate. While identifying reporting units/ segments, the Company takes into consideration the reports reviewed by the CEO (chief operating decision maker). As our financial reports are analyzed on this regional basis, we have defined this as segment reporting for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. Reporting unit detail of goodwill as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 is given below:
 

 
Reporting Units

North America
4,664,100
4,664,100
Total
$9,439,285
$9,439,285

 
There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. A number of factors are taken into consideration while calculating the fair value of the reporting units. These factors include the projected after tax earnings of the reporting unit, industry price earnings ratio and a reasonable discount rate to arrive at the actual fair value of the reporting unit.
 

As the fair value of all reporting units substantially exceeded the carrying values, no impairment was identified in the consolidated financial statements. The following table sets forth the percentage by which the fair value exceeds the carrying value for all reporting units as on June 30, 2011:
 
Reporting Units
Percentage by which fair
value exceeds carrying value
Asia Pacific
108.42%
Europe
29.61%
North America
99.66%

CASH RESOURCES
We were successful in maintaining our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2011 with $4.17 million in cash worldwide. In addition, $5,714,300 was injected by the exercise of options and sale of equity during 2011.

 The Company has maintained its estimated revenue projections despite severe global economic challenges. Total consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2011, slightly decreased 0.63% from $36,779,897 in fiscal year 2010 to $36,547,575 in fiscal year 2011. This decrease included a 6.25% growth in maintenance fee revenue, from $7,047,936 to $7,488,387 and a 14.12% growth in service revenue from $15,574,853 to $17,774,715, including consulting and implementation services. The decrease in consolidated net revenue is attributed to approximately a 20.29% decline in license revenue from $14,157,107 in 2010 to $11,284,472 in 2011. This decrease is mainly attributable to delay in signing new contacts by some prospective customers owing to worldwide recession and deteriorating geo-political condition of the sub-continent. However, none of the deals in pipe have been lost by the Company and the management anticipates getting the deals signed in the coming quarters.

The Company is well-positioned for revenue growth and has invested heavily in the development of its next generation product, which is expected to be completed during the calendar year 2012. Globally, our target customers are still using old systems for maintaining their lease and finance portfolios and are now planning to replace their legacy systems. NetSol, being a trusted name in this field, is in a good position to tap new business from these companies. The completion of this next generation software will provide the Company the capability to enter into a much larger market. We note that this product-conversion may negatively impact our license fee revenue until which point the new product gains traction in the marketplace.
 
The gross profit was $21,743,448 for year ended June 30, 2011, as compared with $22,912,849 for the same period of the previous year.  This is a 5.10% decrease.  The gross profit percentage was 59.49% for the current fiscal year and 62.30% in the prior year.   The cost of sales was $14,804,127 in the current year compared to $13,867,048 in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales is mainly due to increase in salaries of the staff, increase in depreciation and amortization expense and some inflationary factors affecting global economy.

Operating expenses were $11,578,627 for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to, $13,185,141 for the year ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 12.18% from the prior year.  The decrease is mainly attributable to reversal of lease abandonment charges upon final settlement with the lessor. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $1,180,226 and $1,609,854 for the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Combined salaries and wage costs were $3,347,896 and $3,026,275 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $321,621 from the corresponding period last year. General and administrative expenses were $3,719,797 and $4,115,658 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $395,862 or 9.62%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 10.18% in the current year compared to 11.19% in the prior year. The decrease in costs is due to the cost rationalization measures taken by the company.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $3,016,402 for the year ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $2,222,841 for the year ended June 30, 2010.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 8.25% in the current year compared to 6.04% in the prior year.  The Company provided for certain doubtful debts of $367,064 and $442,804, during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2011 was $10,164,821 as compared to $9,727,709 in fiscal year 2010. As a percentage of sales, net income from operations was 27.81% in the current year as compared to 26.45% in the prior period.

Net income in fiscal year 2011 was $5,728,087 as compared to $1,394,120 in fiscal year 2010.    The current fiscal year amount includes a net reduction for the minority interest in earnings of $3,974,882 compared to a reduction of $4,892,097 in the prior year for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Innovation, and the 39.48% minority interest in NetSol PK. The net earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.12 in 2011 as compared to $0.04 in 2010.

The net EBITDA income was $10,845,991 as compared to $6,573,187 after amortization and depreciation charges of $4,288,512 and $3,907,946, income taxes of $120,542 and $53,943, interest expense of $863,707 and $1,478,474 and interest income of $154,856 and $261,296 respectively.  The EBITDA income per share, basic & diluted was $0.22 as compared to $.19 and $0.17 in the year ago period. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of income, we are providing it because we believe it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.  It should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.  It may not be indicative of the Company’s historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results.

We note that the Company's cash position was $4,172,802 at June 30, 2011 compared to $4,075,546 at June 30, 2010.   Further, we note that the Company’s current assets, as of June 30, 2011, totaled $34,590,439 and were 40.39% of total assets, an increase of 3.70% from $33,354,816, or 46.24% of total assets as of June 30, 2010.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $14,575,589 compared to $12,887,508 as of June 30, 2010, an increase of $1,688,081. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $15,062,503 million in accounts receivable and $7,601,230 million in revenues in excess of billings.  Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $13,922,189 for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $8,669,710 for the year ended June 30, 2010.

The increase is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable and net profits of the company, accounts receivable.  The average collection cycle for accounts receivables ranges between three to six months from the date of invoicing. Payments are usually received within the due dates. The average days sales outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2011, were 152 days as compared with 122 days in fiscal year 2010.
 
We note that net cash used in investing activities amounted to $17,795,596 for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $10,216,790 for the year ended June 30, 2010. The difference is primarily a result of the capitalization of intangible assets and an increase in purchases of fixed assets. Please note that the Company had purchases of property and equipment of $9,085,148 compared to $2,986,495 for the comparable period last fiscal year.
 
We note that net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4,266,782 and $1,708,837 for years ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The current fiscal year included the cash inflow of $4,099,250 from the sale of common stock and $1,615,050 from the exercising of stock options and warrants, compared to $854,509 and $71,250 in the prior year, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011 the convertible notes payable, net of the associated beneficial conversion feature amounted to $2,745,524 which will be payable in fiscal 2011.
 
In the current fiscal year, the Company had $2,969,146 in proceeds from bank loans, and net capital leases payments of $3,118,344 as compared to $4,540,971 in proceeds from bank loans, and net capital leases payments of $4,328,700 in the comparable period last year.  The Company operates in a range of geographical regions of the world through its various subsidiaries. These subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their short and long term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates the detail of which is given in Note No. 12 of the annexed financial statements. The Company and all of its subsidiaries are in compliance with our financial covenant arrangements. The Company’s subsidiary, NetSol PK, has a term finance facility from Askari Bank to finance the construction of a new building. The total amount of the facility is Rs. 200,000,000 or approximately $2,319,378 which is secured by the first of Rs. 580 million of land, building, and equipment of the Company. The Company has used only Rs. 75 million ($869,767 approximately) of this facility as on June 30, 2011 and the balance of Rs. 125 million is available depending upon the financial requirements of the Company.
 
The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to: expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and strengthen marketing and sales activities in strategic markets.   A strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts.
 
As a growing and dynamic company, we will continue our organic growth strategy in selective markets. While we have scaled down any major capital expenditures, there will be on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long term business plans.  Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate having the need for working capital of $4.0 to $6.0 million for overall expansion plans that would involve continued R&D, new product development, business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.

Management intends to further improve the accounts receivable collections process from our customers. In addition, we expect that significant executive and employee stock options exercises as a substantial amount of these options are in the money. The Company will explore injections of new capital from strategic investors, as the most feasible and viable source of new capital.  Some of the joint ventures partners could be amongst the strategic investors to strengthen our balance sheet. Management is very aware of the need to continue to reduce both short term and long term liabilities while continuously improving cash flow and net cash position. Management remains very committed and focused to strengthening overall assets and will employ all of the above mentioned tools and such others as may become available to achieve these goals.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Kabani & Company, Inc.’s report on NetSol’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

In connection with the audit of NetSol's financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 there were no disagreements, disputes, or differences of opinion with Kabani & Company on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kabani & Company would have caused Kabani & Company to make reference to the matter in its report.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.   Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management has the responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our external financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
 
33

Due to inherent limitations of any internal control system, management acknowledges that there are limitations as to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and therefore recognize that only reasonable assurance can be gained from any internal control system. Accordingly, our internal control system may not detect or prevent material misstatements in our financial statements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Under the supervision and participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. This assessment was based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of our assessment, the Company has determined that as of June 30, 2011, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, while in the performance of this assessment, management identified that its accounting staff do not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for complex U.S. GAAP matters.  In particular, although our CFO is a Chartered Accountant (CA) in Pakistan neither he, nor our controllers, holds a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) license in the United States.  While the CA certification is recognized in several key countries relative to the Company’s operations, including Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and other British Commonwealth countries, the Company has determined that a deficiency exists with respect to required financial reporting expertise in the United States. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2011.   Notwithstanding the existence of such material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Management is committed to remediating the material weakness as quickly as possible and we will continue to encourage our current accounting staff to both further their continuing education and to sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam in the United States. Additionally, and in recognition of immediate financial reporting needs, the Company intends to implement additional controls and procedures during the current fiscal year to continue to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting objectives. Such additional controls and procedures may include: The retention of a U.S. based CPA as Chief Financial Officer with U.S. GAAP experience and appropriate knowledge of internal controls over financial reporting, for purposes of appropriate oversight of the financial reporting process and continued training of the accounting staff; recruitment of additional personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP experience to enhance our financial reporting and internal control function; retention of the services of a consultant for advisory services with respect to SOX 404 compliance.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f)).
 
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
 
On September 13, 2011, NetSol Technologies, Inc. entered into a purchase agreement to sell convertible notes with a total principal value of $4,000,000 and warrants to purchase shares of common stock to  an investment fund managed by CIM Investment Management Limited and another accredited investor.  The notes have a 2 year maturity date and are convertible into shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $0.895 per share, which conversion price was determined as of September 13, 2011, the date of the purchase agreement.  The warrants have a 5 year term and have an initial exercise price of $0.895 per share.  The issuance of the notes and warrants was made in reliance on an exemption from registration available under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 11-EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
NetSol Technologies’ Named Executive Officers, a group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and three other executive officers in the 2010-2011 fiscal year, are the following individuals:
 
Najeeb Ghauri
Chief Executive Officer
Salim Ghauri
President of Asia Pacific and Middle East Operations
Naeem Ghauri
President of European Operations
Boo Ali
Chief Financial Officer
Patti L. W. McGlasson
Secretary and General Counsel
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance at or above established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.
 
Setting Executive Compensation
 
Management develops our compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data in the media services and technology industries. We believe that the practices of these groups of companies provide us with appropriate compensation benchmarks, because these groups of companies are in similar businesses and tend to compete with us for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, we typically review the compensation data we have collected from these groups of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees as the Company. For purposes of determining executive compensation, as of the period covered by this report, we have not engaged consultants to help us analyze this data or to compare our compensation programs with the practices of the companies represented in the compensation data we review.  However, the compensation committee has determined to utilize the services of a consultant for purposes of comparing our compensation program with similarly situated companies in like industries.  The recommendations of these consultants will be utilized by the Committee in determining the appropriate compensation packages.  While these consultants may make general recommendations about the size and components of compensation, we anticipate our philosophy to continue on the basis of a pay-for-performance philosophy.
 
Based on management's analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to establish base salaries and total executive compensation (taking into consideration the executive's experience and abilities) that are competitive with those companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data we review.
 
We work within the framework of this pay-for-performance compensation philosophy to determine each component of an executive's initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:
 
 The individual's particular background, track record and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;

 The individual's role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that we review;

• The demand for individuals with the individual's specific expertise and experience;

 Performance goals and other expectations for the position; and,
 
39

 
Uniqueness of industry skills.
 
The terms of each executive officer's compensation are derived from employment agreements negotiated between the Company and the executive. Each executive's employment agreement is generally negotiated to cover a one to three-year period, and prescribes the base salary and other annual payments, if any, to the executive. Employment agreements for all executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. Employment agreements for other executives are approved by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
 
2011 Executive Compensation Components
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the principal components of compensation that our named executive officers were eligible to receive were:
 
 Base salary;
Long Term Equity Incentive Compensation;
Performance-based incentive compensation (discretionary bonus); and,
 Perquisites and other personal benefits.
 
Base Salary
 
An executive's base salary is evaluated together with components of the executive's other compensation to ensure that the executive's total compensation is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy.
 
The base salaries were established in arms-length negotiations between the executive and the Company, taking into account their extensive experience, knowledge of the industry, track record, and achievements on behalf of the Company.
 
Base salaries are adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee.  As of June 30, 2011, the annual review had not been completed and annual adjustments had not occurred.
 
Annual Bonus
 
Our compensation program includes eligibility for bonuses as rewarded by the Compensation Committee. All executives are eligible for annual performance-based cash bonuses in accordance with Company policies. The compensation committee takes into consideration the executive’s performance during the previous year to determine eligibility for discretionary bonuses.  Further, the compensation committee will review, if applicable, the performance criteria set forth in an executive’s previous year’s agreement and will determine if the executive has met such criteria in order to achieve the bonus.  The Company’s bonus criteria at the executive management level, is typically based on a gross revenue and per share profit targets.
 
During our fiscal year ended 2010, none of the named executives were awarded cash bonuses.   The Compensation Committee determined to forgo the grant of cash bonuses during the fiscal year ended June 2010 because, while the Company was experiencing an easing of the effects of the recession, cash bonuses could have a negative impact on the Company’s desire to maintain cash reserves.
 
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
 
We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by our executives in equity-based awards. Our various Employee Stock Option Plans allow us to grant stock options to employees. We currently make initial equity awards of stock options to new executives and certain non-executive employees in connection with their employment with the Company. Annual grants of options, if any, are approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
Equity Incentives.    Executives, certain non-executive employees, and directors who join us may be awarded stock awards and/or stock option grants after they join the Company. These grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Such awards are intended to provide the executive with incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The size of the stock option award is also reviewed in light of the executive's track record, base salary, other compensation and other factors to ensure that
 
40

the executive's total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy.  A review of all components of compensation is conducted when determining equity awards to ensure that total compensation conforms to our overall philosophy and objectives.
 
Equity incentives provided to executives are determined by the Fair Market Value of our common stock on the grant date were provided to the executives as an adjustment of their overall compensation while taking in to account the need to continue to incentivize the executive to build value in the organization. Each executive’s stock award was based on an analysis of the Compensation Committee of an appropriate overall cash compensation for each individual taking into account their position and compensation at similarly situated companies.  Each executive’s stock award was based on a desired overall compensation cash value less the base salary as approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
We provide named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to executive officers.
 
We maintain benefits and perquisites that are offered to all employees, including health insurance and dental insurance.   Benefits and perquisites may vary in different country locations and are consistent with local practices and regulations.
 
Termination Based Compensation
 
Upon termination of employment, all executive officers with a written employment agreement are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve, and as part of the process of setting the terms of, such severance arrangements, the Compensation Committee recognizes that executives and officers often face challenges securing new employment following termination.  Further, the Committee recognizes that many of the named executives and officers have participated in the Company since its founding and that this participation has not resulted in a return on their investments.  Termination and Change in Control Payments considered both the risk and the dedication of these executives’ service to the Company.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer, CEO of NetSol Technologies, Ltd. and CEO of NetSol Technologies Europe, Ltd.  have employment agreements that provide, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination.  Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued.  These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.

Tax and Accounting Implications
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
 
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. We believe that compensation paid under the management incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
Commencing on July 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including awards under our Employee Stock Option Plans, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R).

All Other Fees
 
There were no other fees billed by Kabani & Co. or services rendered to NetSol during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, other than as described above.
 
Pre-Approval Procedures
 
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors and for approving, in advance, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee maintains a policy for the engagement of the independent auditors that is intended to maintain the independent auditor’s independence from NetSol. In adopting the policy, the Audit Committee considered the various services that the independent auditors have historically performed or may be needed to perform in the future. The policy, which is to be reviewed and re-adopted at least annually by the Audit Committee:
 
 
(i)
Approves the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of service (principally audit-related and tax), subject to restrictions in some cases, based on the Committee’s determination that this would not be likely to impair the independent auditors’ independence from NetSol;

 
(ii)
Requires that management obtain the specific prior approval of the Audit Committee for each engagement of the independent auditors to perform other types of permitted services; and,

 
(iii)
Prohibits the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of services due to the likelihood that their independence would be impaired.
 
Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chairman of the Committee in office at the time, or by any other Committee member to whom the Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditors to any member of management.
 
The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of an engagement of the independent auditors is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefore and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditors’ independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable professional standards. Relevant considerations include, but are not limited to, whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of NetSol’s financial statements; whether the independent auditors would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would enhance NetSol’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would increase efficiency because of their familiarity with NetSol’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable to the independent auditors in the period that is for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditors’ ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

 

 

 
F-1

 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries
Calabasas, California
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (The "Company") as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive losses, equity and cash flows for each of years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its consolidated operations and comprehensive loss, equity and cash flows for each of years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries(collectively, the “Company”), formerly known as NetSol International, Inc. and Mirage Holdings, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 18, 1997. During November 1998, Mirage Collections, Inc., a wholly owned and non-operating subsidiary, was dissolved.
 
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking, healthcare, and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(A)  
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:
 
Wholly-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”)
NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”)
NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”)
NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”)
NTPK (Thailand) Co. Limited (“NTPK Thailand”)
NetSol Connect (Private), Ltd. (“Connect”)
 
Majority-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies, Ltd. (“NetSol PK”)
NetSol Innovation (Private) Limited (“NetSol Innovation”)
 
The Company consolidates any variable interest entities of which it is the primary beneficiary. Equity investments through which we exercise significant influence over but do not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
(B)  
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 
June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
(C)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(D)  
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Concentrations
 
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
(E)  
Restricted Cash
 
The Company has certificates of deposits (“CD”s) in various configurations and maturity dates with Habib American Bank. A portion of these CDs are restricted as collateral to secure outstanding balances on an existing line of credit, and become unrestricted to the extent that they are not required for collateralization purposes. As of June 30, 2011 the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $5,404,608, with a corresponding restriction to the CD balances. The line of credit has a maximum available balance of $5,700,000.
 
(F)  
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,717,745 and $2,525,009, respectively.
 
(G)  
Revenues in Excess of Billings
 
Revenues in excess of billings represent the total of the project to be billed to the customer over the revenues recognized under the percentage of completion method. As the customer is billed under the terms of their contract, the corresponding amount is transferred from this account to “Accounts Receivable.”
 
(H)  
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to ten years.

The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.” Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense as incurred.
 
(I)  
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
 
(J)  
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
 
(K)  
Software Development Costs
 
Costs incurred to internally develop computer software products or to enhance an existing product are recorded as research and development costs and expensed when incurred until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
 
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.

(L)  
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.
 
(M)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
 
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is primarily attributed to the short maturities of these instruments.
 
(N)  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method.
 
Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.

(O)  
Multiple Element Arrangements
 
We enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a number of different combinations of software licenses, consulting services, maintenance and support, as well as training and development (multiple-element arrangements).
 
VSOE of fair value for each element is based on the price for which the element is sold separately. We determine the VSOE of fair value of each element based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When VSOE of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which such VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. The only exception to this guidance is when the only undelivered element is maintenance and support or other services, then the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.
 
Net revenues by our various products and services provided for the year ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
 Licensing Fees
  $ 11,284,472     $ 14,157,107  
 Maintenance Fees
    7,488,387       7,047,936  
 Services
    17,774,715       15,574,853  
 Total
  $ 36,547,575     $ 36,779,897  
 
(P)  
Unearned Revenue
 
Unearned revenue represents billings in excess of revenue earned on contracts and are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contract. Unearned revenue was $2,653,460 and $2,545,314 as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 respectively.
 
(Q)  
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $246,254 and $227,045 respectively.
 
(R)  
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award (generally four to five years) using the straight-line method.
 
(S)  
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

(T)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income.
 
(U)  
Statement of Cash Flows
 
The Company's cash flows from operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
(V)  
Segment Reporting
 
The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on geographic locations of its subsidiaries (see Note 17).
 
(W)  
Reclassifications
 
Certain 2010 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.
 
(X)  
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended guidance related to the measurement of liabilities at fair value, which was effective upon issuance. These amendments clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In October 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to revenue recognition that will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB amended guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. The adoption of these amendments is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to fair value measurements and Disclosures, which was effective beginning the 2nd quarter of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, December 31, 2009. These amendments prescribe new disclosures and clarify certain existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The objective of the amendments was to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance related to disclosure of subsequent events, which was effective upon issuance. These amendments prescribe that entities that are SEC filers are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
(A)  
United States of America
 
The Company has established a full valuation allowance as management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future. The valuation allowance decreased by $1,163,238 for the year ended June 30, 2011 mainly due to adjusting the Company's net operating loss carry forwards for the current year operating loss.
 
At June 30, 2011, federal and state net operating loss carry forwards were $27,439,816 and $8,171,971 respectively. Federal net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2020, while state net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2015. Due to both historical and recent changes in the capitalization structure of the Company, the utilization of net operating losses may be limited pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
 
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the federal and state jurisdictions for the years ending June 30, 2008 through 2011. The Company does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
 
The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that the Company intends to
 
permanently invest and upon which no deferred US income taxes have been provided is $26,794,050 as of June 30, 2011. The additional US income tax on unremitted foreign earnings, if repatriated, would be offset in part by foreign tax credits. The extent of this offset would depend on many factors, including the method of distribution, and specific earnings distributed.

Pakistan
 
As of June 30, 2011 the Company's Pakistan subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards
 
which can be carried forward six years to offset future taxable income.

Warrants
 
During 2010, the Company amended the terms of warrant agreements associated with common stock issued in October, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the exercise price was reduced to $0.31 from $0.63, resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants by 3,274,682. The above holders exercised 1,000,000 warrants and 2,879,028 warrants through a cashless exercise, resulting in 2,384,390 shares issued.
 
(B)  
Equity Incentive Plan
 
In May 2008, the shareholders approved the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) which provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or performance share awards or any other right or interest relating to shares or cash, to eligible participants. The aggregate number of shares reserved and available for award under the 2008 Plan is 1,000,000 (the Share Reserve). The 2008 Plan contemplates the issuance of common stock upon exercise of options or other awards granted to eligible persons under the 2008 Plan. Shares issued under the 2008 Plan may be both authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company. Upon termination or expiration of an unexercised option, stock appreciation right or other stock-based award under the 2008 Plan, in whole or in part, the number of shares of common stock subject to such award again become available for grant under the 2008 Plan. Any shares of restricted stock forfeited as described below will become available for grant. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any one participant in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture.
 
Stock Options
 
Options granted under the 2008 Plan are not generally transferable and must be exercised within 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon termination of the option holder's employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's term. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (except in connection with the assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (a Ten Percent Shareholder) must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant and must not be exercisable for longer than five years. Options become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the 2008 Plan is ten years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder must have a term not exceeding five years.
 
Performance Awards
 
Under the 2008 Plan, a participant may also be awarded a "performance award," which means that the participant may receive cash, stock or other awards contingent upon achieving performance goals established by the Committee. The Committee may also make "deferred share" awards, which entitle the participant to receive our stock in the future for services performed between the date of the award and the date the participant may receive the stock. The vesting of deferred share awards may be based on performance criteria and/or continued service with our Company. A participant who is granted a "stock appreciation right" under the Plan has the right to receive all or a percentage of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right minus the grant price of the stock appreciation right determined by the Committee (but in no event less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant). Finally, the Committee may make "restricted stock" awards under the 2008 Plan, which are subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines and as are set forth in the award agreement related to the restricted stock. As of June 30, 2011, 917,000 shares have been issued under this plan.

Subsequent to the execution of the agreement, and previous to the incorporation of the JV, Raseen terminated its participation without cause, as defined. The Company has filed a civil suit against Raseen in the civil court of Lahore, Pakistan for the recovery of the JV-related expenditures disbursed. As a result of the litigation on this matter, and the inherent uncertainty of any recovery, the Company had recorded a loss as of the year-ended June 30, 2010 in the amount of $237,104, which is the total of non-capital related expenditures. The capital assets purchased are computer equipment, as well as furniture and fixtures that are currently being utilized and accordingly depreciated by the Company for use in the normal course of operations.
 
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, to the best knowledge of the Company’s management and counsel, there is no material litigation pending or threatened against the Company.
 
NOTE 17 – SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
 
The Company has identified three global regions or segments for its products and services; North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. Each business unit provides similar products and services; license fees for leasing and asset-based software, related maintenance fees, and implementation and IT consulting services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to operational issues and strategies unique to their particular regional location.

ARTICLE III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
 
The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:
 
3.1           Corporate Existence and Power; Subsidiaries. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are corporations duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which they are incorporated, and have all corporate powers required to carry on their business as now conducted. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased by them or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any person or entity, a material adverse effect on its and its Subsidiaries’ condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, assets, liabilities (including contingent liabilities), results of operations or current prospects, taken as a whole, on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or under the Related Documents.  True and complete copies of the Seller’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, as currently in effect and as will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Articles and Bylaws”), have previously been provided to the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means, with respect to any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by such entity or of which such entity is a partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity securities or equivalent profit participation interests, or is considered a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act.  The Seller has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 3.1 hereto, each of which, unless otherwise indicated, is wholly-owned by the Seller.
 
3.2           Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the Investor Rights Agreement and each of the other documents executed pursuant to and in connection with this Agreement (collectively, the
 
 
3

 
“Related Documents”), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, but not limited to, the sale and delivery of the Notes and the Warrants, and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants) have been duly authorized, and no additional corporate or stockholder action is required for the approval of this Agreement.  The Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance by the Seller (without regard to any limitations on issuance or beneficial ownership).  This Agreement and the Related Documents have been or, to the extent contemplated hereby or by the Related Documents, will be duly executed and delivered and constitute the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of its obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
3.3           Charter, Bylaws and Corporate Records. The minute books of the Seller and its Subsidiaries contain complete and accurate records of all meetings and other corporate actions of the board of directors, committees of the board of directors, incorporators and stockholders of the Seller and its Subsidiaries.  All material corporate decisions and actions have been validly made or taken.  All corporate books, including without limitation the share transfer register, comply with applicable laws and regulations and have been regularly updated.  Such books fully and correctly reflect all the decisions of the stockholders.
 
 
3.4           Governmental Authorization. Except as otherwise specifically contemplated in this Agreement and the Related Documents, and except for: (i) the filings referenced in Sections 5.10 and 5.11; (ii) the filing of a Form D with respect to the Notes and Warrants under Regulation D under the Securities Act; (iii) the application(s) to each trading market for the listing of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares for trading thereon; and (iv) any filings required under state securities laws that are permitted to be made after the date hereof, the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and the Related Documents, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, but not limited to, the sale and delivery of the Notes and Warrants and the subsequent issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon conversion of the Notes or otherwise or exercise of the Warrants, as applicable) by the Seller require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency, official or authority.

3.5           Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement and the Related Documents, and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares) do not and will not (a) contravene or conflict with the Articles (as amended by any certificate of designation) and Bylaws of the Seller and its Subsidiaries or any material agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound; (b) contravene or conflict with or constitute a violation of any provision of any law, regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon or applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries; (c) constitute a default (or would constitute a default with notice or lapse of time or both) under or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration or loss of any benefit under any material agreement, contract or other instrument binding upon the Seller or its Subsidiaries or under any material license, franchise, permit or other similar authorization held by the Seller or its Subsidiaries; or

(d) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (as defined below) on any asset of the Seller or its Subsidiaries.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Lien” means, with respect to any asset, any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, claim or encumbrance of any kind in respect of such asset.
 
3.6           SEC Documents. The Seller is obligated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to file reports pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) thereof (all such reports filed or required to be filed by the Seller, including all exhibits thereto or incorporated therein by reference, and all documents filed by the Seller under the Securities Act hereinafter called the “SEC Documents”).  The Seller has filed all reports or other documents required to be filed under the Exchange Act.  All SEC Documents filed by the Seller as of or for any period beginning on or after June 30, 2010, (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The Seller has previously delivered to the Purchaser a correct and complete copy of each report (including, without limitation, the most recent Proxy Statement) which the Seller filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) under the Exchange Act for any period ending on or after June 30, 2010 (the “Recent Reports”) to the extent not available via EDGAR.  None of the information about the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries which has been disclosed to the Purchasers herein or in the course of discussions and negotiations with respect hereto which is not disclosed in the Recent Reports is or was required to be so disclosed, and no material non-public information has been disclosed to the Purchasers, except for certain information which will be publicly disclosed on prior to September 30, 2011.  To the extent that the Seller fails to so publicly disclose any such material non-public information prior to such date, any Purchaser in possession of such information shall be permitted to publicly disclose such material non-public information.  The Seller agrees that it shall not furnish any Purchaser any material non-public information concerning the Seller which it does not intend to disclose on or prior to such date.
 
3.7           Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Seller included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Seller and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. Except, however, that Seller’s financial statements may only be relied upon in light of the disclosure contained in Seller’s amendment to its 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2010.  In this amendment, Seller’s disclosed a material weakness in controls over financial reporting in that those responsible for preparing the financial statements do not hold a US CPA or have equivalent experience and as such Seller’s management has determined that its accounting staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for complex U.S. GAAP matters.  Sellers’ anticipate that this conclusion shall remain until such time as the staff

can demonstrate its knowledge. All material agreements to which the Seller and its Subsidiaries are a party or to which any of their respective property or assets are subject that are required to be filed as Exhibits to the SEC Documents under Item 601 of Regulation S K are included as a part of, or specifically identified in, the SEC Documents.
 
3.8           Compliance with Law. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are in compliance and have conducted their business so as to comply with all laws, rules and regulations, judgments, decrees or orders of any court, administrative agency, commission, regulatory authority or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to their operations, the violation of which would cause a Material Adverse Affect.  There are no judgments or orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards (whether rendered by a court or administrative agency or by arbitration), including any such actions relating to affirmative action claims or claims of discrimination, against the Seller or its Subsidiaries or against any of their properties or businesses.
 
3.9           No Defaults. Except as disclosed in Section 3.9, to the Seller and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, Seller and its Subsidiaries are not, nor have they received notice that they would be with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, (i) in violation of any provision of their Articles and Bylaws (ii) in default or violation of any term, condition or provision of (A) any judgment, decree, order, injunction or stipulation applicable to the Seller or its Subsidiaries or (B) any agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument, permit, concession, franchise or license to which the Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party or by which the Seller or its Subsidiaries or their properties or assets may be bound, and no circumstances exist which would entitle any party to any agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, contract, lease or instrument to which such Seller or its Subsidiaries are a party, to terminate such as a result of such Seller or its Subsidiaries, having failed to meet any provision thereof including, but not limited to, meeting any applicable milestone under any agreement or contract which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or its subsidiaries.
 
3.10           Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.10, there is no action, suit, proceeding, judgment, claim or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against the Seller and its Subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or its Subsidiaries or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller is not aware of any basis for the assertion of any of the foregoing.
 
There are no claims or complaints existing or, to the knowledge of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, threatened for product liability in respect of any product of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, and the Seller and its Subsidiaries are not aware of any basis for the assertion of any such claim.

(g)           Any transfer or grant of a right with respect to the trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned or licensed by the Seller or its Subsidiaries, except as among the Seller and its Subsidiaries.

Except as set forth in the Recent Reports, and except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2010, as of the date hereof, (i) the Seller and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liabilities or obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) which, and (ii) there has not been any aspect of the prior or current conduct of the business of the Seller or its Subsidiaries which may form the basis for any material claim by any third party which if asserted could result in any such material liabilities or obligations which, are not fully reflected, reserved against or disclosed in the balance sheet of the Seller as at June 30, 2010.
 
3.13           Taxes. All tax returns and tax reports required to be filed with respect to the income, operations, business or assets of the Seller and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (or appropriate extensions have been obtained) with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such returns and reports are required to be filed, and all of the foregoing as filed are correct and complete and, in all material respects, reflect accurately all liability for taxes of the Seller and its Subsidiaries for the periods to which such returns relate, and all amounts shown as owing thereon have been paid.  All income, profits, franchise, sales, use, value added, occupancy, property, excise, payroll, withholding, FICA, FUTA and other taxes (including interest and penalties), if any, collectible or payable by the Seller and its Subsidiaries or relating to or chargeable against any of its material assets, revenues or income or relating to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder or other third party through the Closing Date, will have been fully collected and paid by such date if due by such date or provided for by adequate reserves in the Financial Statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2010 (other than taxes accruing after such date) and all similar items due through the Closing Date will have been fully paid by that date or provided for by adequate reserves, whether or not any such taxes were reported or reflected in any tax returns or filings.  No taxation authority has sought to audit the records of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of verifying or disputing any tax returns, reports or related information and disclosures provided to such taxation authority, or for the Seller’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ alleged failure to provide any such tax returns, reports or related information and disclosure.  No material claims or deficiencies have been asserted against or inquiries raised with the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any taxes or other governmental charges or levies which have not been paid or otherwise satisfied, including claims that, or inquiries whether, the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries has not filed a tax return that it was required to file, and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there exists no reasonable basis for the making of any such claims or inquiries. Neither the Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any restrictions on assessment or collection of taxes or consented to the extension of any statute of limitations relating to taxation.

3.17           Preemptive Rights.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17, none of the stockholders of the Seller possess any preemptive rights in respect of the Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares to be issued to the Purchasers in connection herewith or upon exercise of the Warrants, as applicable.

3.21           Options, Warrants, Rights.  Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.21, there are no outstanding (a) securities, notes or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any of the capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries; (b) options, warrants, subscriptions or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries; or (c) commitments, agreements or understandings of any kind, including employee benefit arrangements, relating to the issuance or repurchase by the Seller or its Subsidiaries of any capital stock or other equity interests of the Seller or its Subsidiaries, any such securities or instruments convertible or exercisable for securities or any such options, warrants or rights.  Other than the rights of the Purchasers under the Notes and warrants issued in connection therewith and except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, neither the
 
 
10

 
Seller nor the Subsidiaries have granted anti-dilution rights to any person or entity in connection with any outstanding option, warrant, subscription or any other instrument convertible or exercisable for the securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries.  Other than the rights granted to the Purchasers under the Investor Rights Agreement and except as set forth on Schedule 3.21, there are no outstanding rights which permit the holder thereof to cause the Seller or the Subsidiaries to file a registration statement under the Securities Act or which permit the holder thereof to include securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in a registration statement filed by the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries under the Securities Act, and there are no outstanding agreements or other commitments which otherwise relate to the registration of any securities of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries for sale or distribution in any jurisdiction.
 
3.22           Employees, Employment Agreements and Employee Benefit Plans.  Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, there are no employment, consulting, severance or indemnification arrangements, agreements, or understandings between the Seller and any officer, director, consultant or employee of the Seller or its Subsidiaries (the “Employment Agreements”).  Except as set forth in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, no Employment Agreement provides for the acceleration or change in the award, grant, vesting or determination of options, warrants, rights, severance payments, or other contingent obligations of any nature whatsoever of the Seller or its Subsidiaries in favor of any such parties in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Except as disclosed in the Recent Reports or on Schedule 3.22, the terms of employment or engagement of all directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and professional advisors of the Seller and its Subsidiaries are such that their employment or engagement may be terminated upon not more than two weeks’ notice given at any time without liability for payment of compensation or damages and the Seller and its Subsidiaries have not entered into any agreement or arrangement for the management of their business or any part thereof other than with their directors or employees.

No representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, nor in any document, written information, financial statement, certificate, schedule or exhibit prepared and furnished by the Seller or the representatives of the Seller pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or to Seller’s knowledge omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements or facts contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were furnished.
 
3.30           Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Seller and an unconsolidated or other off-balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Seller in its Exchange Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no such transactions, arrangements or other relationships with the Seller that may create contingencies or liabilities that are not otherwise disclosed by the Seller in its SEC filings.

3.31           Application of Takeover Protections.  Except as is set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto of Seller, the Seller and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Seller’s Articles and By-Laws (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation or any agreement to which the Seller is a party that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result of the Purchasers and the Seller fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Agreement and the Related Documents, including without limitation the Seller’s issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers’ ownership of the Securities.
 
3.32           No Additional Agreements.  The Seller does not have any agreement with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents other than as specified in this Agreement and the Related Documents.
 
3.33           Acknowledgment Regarding Purchasers’ Purchase of Seller Securities.  The Seller acknowledges and agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Seller further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Seller or any other Purchaser (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the Related Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any of their respective representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement or the Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities.  The Seller further represents to each Purchaser that the Seller’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the Related Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Seller and its representatives.
 
3.34           Internal Accounting Controls.  Except as disclosed in Seller’s 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2010, the Seller and each of its subsidiaries maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.  The Seller has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Seller and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Seller, including its subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Seller’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared.  The Seller’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Seller’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Seller’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).  The Seller presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date.  Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule
 
 
14

 
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Seller’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
3.35           Solvency.  Based on the financial condition of the Seller as of the Closing Date, (i) the Seller’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Seller’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Seller’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Seller, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Seller, together with the proceeds the Seller would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Seller does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).
 
3.36           Title to Assets.  The Seller and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property, do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Seller and the Subsidiaries, (ii) Liens for taxes not yet due and payable and (iii) Liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.  To the Seller’s knowledge, any real property and facilities held under lease by the Seller and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Seller and the Subsidiaries are in compliance except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.3           Indemnity Procedure.  The Seller is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”.  An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced.
 
The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.
 
 
23

 
With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.
 
7.4           Liquidated Damages.  The Seller and the Purchasers agree that the Purchasers will suffer damages if a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs or is ongoing. The Seller and the Purchasers further agree that it may not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. If a Breach Event (as defined below) occurs, then the Purchasers may elect, as liquidated damages, and in addition to any other remedies legally available to such Purchasers, to require that the Seller shall pay to the Purchasers liquidated damages at a rate of 12% per annum of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchasers payable monthly in cash at the end of each month (or part thereof) in which the Breach Event is outstanding.
 
“Breach Event” means either:
 
(i)           Any breach of any warranty or representation of the Seller as of the date made in this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, which breach, or the facts and circumstances concerning such breach, has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
 
(ii)           Any breach by the Seller of any material covenant or obligation under this Agreement, any Related Agreement or any other agreement delivered herewith, and which breach, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within ten (10) days after notice of such breach has been given by the holders of a majority of principal amount of Notes to the Seller.
 
The Seller and the Purchasers have expressly negotiated this Section 7.4, and have agreed that in light of the circumstances existing at the time of execution of this Agreement, the liquidated damages expressed herein represent a reasonable estimate of the harm likely to be suffered by the Purchasers upon the occurrence of a Breach Event.

3.           Registration Procedures.
 
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
 
(a)           Include in any Registration Statement a Plan of Distribution substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to the Holders selling Registrable Securities.

4

 
counsel to the Company determines in writing that such objection is without merit.
 
(b)           (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and to the extent any Registrable Securities are not included in such Registration Statement for reasons other than the failure of the Holder to comply with Section 3(m) hereof, shall prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as possible, and in no event later than 10 Business Days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
 
(c)           Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the Special Counsel as promptly as possible (A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed (but in no event in the case of this subparagraph (A), less than three (3) Business Days prior to date of such filing); (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement; and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (which notice shall be delivered to the Purchasers and Special Counsel on the same day as such effectiveness), and after the effectiveness thereof: (i) of any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) if the financial statements included in the Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
 
 
5

 
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limitation to any remedies to which the Holders may be entitled under this Agreement, if any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3(c)(C) occurs, the Company shall use its best efforts to respond to and correct the event.
 
(d)           Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, use best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
 
(e)           If requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the Company reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 3(e) that would, in the written opinion of counsel for the Company (addressed to the Special Counsel), violate applicable law.
 
(f)           Furnish to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.
 
(g)           Promptly deliver to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
 
(h)           Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is
 
 
6

 
not then so subject or subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
 
(i)           Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any Holder may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, the Company shall promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (but no later than one day thereafter) cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent, which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend upon sale by the Holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.
 
(j)           Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(C)(iii) or (iv), as promptly as possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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.
 
(k)           Cause all Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the OTC.BB (the “Exchange”).
 
(l)           Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its security holders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 not later than 45 days after the end of any 3-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall conform to the requirements of Rule 158.
 
(m)           Request each selling Holder to furnish to the Company information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails (i) to furnish such information or (ii) to agree to furnish, upon request, such additional information regarding such Holder as may later be required by law to be disclosed, in each case, within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement.
 
If the Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder
 
 
7

 
of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (if such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force) the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.
 
Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(i), 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 3(j), or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.
 
(n)           If (i) there is material non-public information regarding the Company which the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company is not otherwise required to disclose, or (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to the Company which the Board reasonably determines not to be in the Company's best interest to disclose and which the Company would be required to disclose under the Registration Statement, then the Company may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive days, provided that the Company may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 3(n) for more than 30 days in the aggregate during any 12 month period (each, a “Blackout Period”).
 
4.           Registration Expenses.
 
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with each other securities exchange, quotation system or market on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with the Commission, and (C) in compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of Special Counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities may designate)), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing or photocopying prospectuses), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv)
 
 
8

 
Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company's independent public accountants (including, in the case of an underwritten offering, the expenses of any comfort letters or costs associated with the delivery by independent public accountants of a comfort letter or comfort letters) and legal counsel, and (vi) fees and expenses of the Special Counsel in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.
 
5.           Indemnification.
 
(a)           Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, which information was reasonably relied on by the Company for use therein or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing); or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
 
 
9

 
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) to this Agreement) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.
 
(b)           Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such Prospectus and that such information was reasonably relied upon by the Company for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or to the extent that such information relates to (x) such Holder and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus, or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (y) such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities as set forth in Exhibit A (or as such Holder otherwise informs the Company in writing) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 3(c)(ii), 3(c)(iii), 3(c)(iv) or 3(n), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the delivery to the Holder of written notice from the Company that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 3(m); provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be liable under this Section 5(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
(c)           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent
 
 
10

 
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
 
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel in writing (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not impose any monetary or other obligation or restriction on the Indemnified Party.
 
All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall be delivered no more frequently than on a monthly basis (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
 
(d)           Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
 
 
11

 
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be required to contribute under this Section 5(d) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. The indemnity and contribution agreements herein are in addition to and not in diminution or limitation of any indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.
 
6.           Rule 144.
 
As long as any Holder owns any Notes, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  As long as any Holder owns any Notes, Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby, in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement relating to the transfer of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a
 
 
12

 
duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
 
7.           Covenants of Purchasers.
 
In connection with the Registration Statement, each of the Purchasers covenants as follows:
 
(a) Unless and until such Purchaser has provided written notice to the Company to the contrary, all sales of Registrable Securities by such Purchaser shall be made without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions except for the usual and customary commission paid to brokers or dealers.
 
(b) Such Purchaser shall advise the Company of any arrangement with a broker or dealer for the sale of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary distribution or a principal purchase by a broker or dealer, and the details of such transaction.
 
(c) Such Purchaser shall comply with all prospectus delivery requirements with respect to sales of the Registrable Securities to the extent required by the Securities Act and other applicable law.
 
(d) Such Purchaser shall report to the Company, upon written request of the Company, whether all Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser have been sold or otherwise transferred.
 
8.           Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
(b)           No Inconsistent Agreements. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to an agreement currently in effect, nor shall the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, the Company shall not grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted are subject in all respects to the prior rights in full of the Holders set forth herein, and are not otherwise in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement.
 
 
13

 
(c)           Notice of Effectiveness. Within two (2) Business Days after the Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the holders of Registrable Securities.
 
(d)           [Intentionally Left Blank.]
 
(e)           Failure to File Registration Statement and Other Events.  The Company and the Holders agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Registration Statement is not filed and maintained in the manner contemplated herein during the Effectiveness Period.  The Company and the Holders further agree that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.  Accordingly, if (i) the Company fails to include Registrable Securities in a registration statement filed with the Commission under the Securities Act to the extent required in accordance herewith, or (ii) the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission but thereafter ceases to be effective as to all Registrable Securities at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, without being succeeded promptly by a subsequent Registration Statement filed with the Commission, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 3(n), or (iii) trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from any securities exchange, quotation system or market on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed (each an “Exchange”), without immediately being listed on any other Exchange, for any reason for more than one (1) Business Day, other than pursuant to Section 3(n), or (iv) the conversion or redemption rights of the Holders, or the exercise rights of the Holders under the Warrants, are suspended for any reason without the consent of the particular Holder, or (v) the Company has breached Section 3(n) of this Agreement (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), the Company shall pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to each Holder an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the initial thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) until the applicable Event has been cured, and one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each subsequent thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) until the applicable Event has been cured (the “Periodic Amount”).  Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 8(e) shall be due and payable immediately upon demand in immediately available cash funds.  The parties agree that the Periodic Amount represents a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of damages that may be incurred by the Holders in connection with such Event.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall remain obligated to cure the breach or correct the condition that caused the Event, and the Holder shall have the right to take any action necessary or desirable to enforce such obligation.
 
 
14

 
(f)           Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
(i)           The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
 
(ii)           Each of the Company and the Holders (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York City, New York for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Holders consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 8(f) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
 
(g)           Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of at least 75% of the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
 
(h)           Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earlier of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified for notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service such as Federal Express or (iv) actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have the Company register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be automatically assignable by each Holder to any transferee of such Holder of all or a portion of the Notes or Warrants or the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 8(j), the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement, and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement.

(k)           Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by electronic image or facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such electronic image or facsimile signature were the original thereof.
 
(l)           Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law thereof.
 
(m)           Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
 
(n)           Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(p)           Registrable Securities Held by the Company and its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than any Holder or transferees or successors or assigns thereof if such Holder is deemed to be an Affiliate solely by reason of its holdings of such Registrable Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
 
(q)           Obligations of Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement, are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement.  The decision of each Purchaser to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser.  The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement,
 
 
17

 
and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
 
The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.  The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to this Agreement in no way creates a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

EXHIBIT A

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


We are registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. Sales of shares may be made by selling security holders, including their respective donees, transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest directly to purchasers or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or through agents. Sales may be made from time to time on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other exchange or market upon which our shares may trade in the future, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, or at negotiated or fixed prices. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following:
 
-
a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction (including crosses in which the same broker acts as agent for both sides of the transaction);
 
-
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer, including resales for its account, pursuant to this prospectus;
 
-
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
 
-
through options, swaps or derivatives;
 
-
in privately negotiated transactions;
 
-
in making short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus or in transactions to cover such short sales; and
 
-
put or call option transactions relating to the shares.
 
The selling security holders may effect these transactions by selling shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. These broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling security holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions). The selling security holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities.
 
The selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, the broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the shares or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for the shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the
 
 
21

 
selling security holders. The selling security holders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery of shares offered by this prospectus to those broker-dealers or other financial institutions. The broker-dealer or other financial institution may then resell the shares pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if required by applicable law, to reflect those transactions).
 
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers that act in connection with the sale of shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by broker-dealers or any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The selling security holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify each of the selling security holders and each selling security holder has agreed, severally and not jointly, to indemnify us against some liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
The selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to their sales in the market.
 
Selling security holders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of Rule 144.
 
Upon being notified by a selling security holder that a material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing:
 
-
the name of each such selling security holder and of the participating broker-dealer(s);
 
-
the number of shares involved;
 
-
the initial price at which the shares were sold;
 
-
the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to the broker-dealer(s), where applicable;
 
-
that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus; and
 
-
other facts material to the transactions.
 
 
22

 
In addition, if required under applicable law or the rules or regulations of the Commission, we will file a supplement to this prospectus when a selling security holder notifies us that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock.
 
We are paying all expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. The selling security holders will bear all brokerage or underwriting discounts or commissions paid to broker-dealers in connection with the sale of the shares.

2.           Exercise of Warrant.
 
2.1.           Manner of Exercise.
 
(a)           From and after the date of issuance hereof and until 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder.
 
(b)           In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, and (iii) upon exercise of this Warrant in full, this Warrant.  Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program.  The parties agree to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.   In lieu of such electronic delivery through DWAC, the Company shall, to the extent requested by the Holder or required by law, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise hereof.  The time periods for delivery of physical certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares are the same as those described above.  Any stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date when the notice to exercise is received by the Company as described
 
 
4

 
above.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, if not effected using book entry as described below, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
 
(c)           Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company, provided that if at any time following the 120th day after the Closing Date there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
 
(A) = the closing sale price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
 
(B) = the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.1(c).
 
(d)           All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
 
(e)           Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant.  The warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.  In connection therewith a form of ledger to maintain a record of such transactions is attached hereto.  The warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.
 
2.2.           Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder
 
 
5

 
of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
 
2.3.           Continued Validity. A Holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a Holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and 13 of this Warrant.
 
2.4.           Restrictions on Exercise Amount.
 
(i)           Unless a Holder delivers to the Company irrevocable written notice prior to the date of issuance hereof or sixty-one days prior to the effective date of such notice that this Section 2.4(i) shall not apply to such Holder, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Warrant Stock to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of Warrant Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.
 
(ii)           Overall Limit on Common Stock Issuable.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other documents, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue, upon exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Issuable Maximum”) without causing the Company to breach its obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(d) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules), provided that any portion of this Warrant which cannot be exercised due to such Issuable Maximum shall be purchased by the Company using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.  Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold to such Holder by (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and sold by the Company.  If any Holder shall no longer hold any Notes, then such Holder’s remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum, if any, shall be
 
 
6

 
reallocated pro-rata among the other Holders.  “Shareholder Approval” means approval by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(e) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules) and Nevada corporate law, of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants (as amended hereby), including without limitation the issuance of all of the Conversion Shares under the Notes in excess of the Issuable Maximum.
 
3.           Transfer, Division and Combination.
 
3.1.           Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Holder or transferee of this Warrant shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent).
 
3.2.           Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is registered under the Securities Act or is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
 
 
7

 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER ___, 2011, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES.

3.3.           Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
 
4.           Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
 
4.1.           Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:
 
(i)           declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
 
(ii)           subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
 
(iii)           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:
 
(1)           the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock
 
 
8

 
that would have been acquirable under this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable, and
 
(2)           the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
 
(A)           the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by
 
(B)           the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
 
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
4.2.           Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
 
(i)           cash,
 
(ii)           any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof), or
 
(iii)           any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever, then:
 
(1)           the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Warrant Price minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; and
 
(2)           the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal (x) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of
 
 
9

 
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
 
4.3.           Securities Issuances.  In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Current Warrant Price, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Current Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Current Warrant Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is thereafter exercisable shall be automatically inversely proportionately increased such that the aggregate Warrant Price hereunder immediately preceding such issuance shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price following such issuance and the adjustments hereby.  The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders.  The Company shall give to the Warrantholder written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
 
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
 
 
10

 
exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.
 
For purposes of this Section 4.3, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Current Warrant Price shall be used.
 
“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company.  In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price.  A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above).  In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause a adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities.  If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder.  In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
 
4.4.           Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:
 
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum
 
 
11

 
adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
 
(b)  Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.
 
(c)  When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
 
(d)  Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this Warrant exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.
 
4.5.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.
 
(a)  If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
 
(b)  In case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.5(a) above, the resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate
 
 
12

 
(as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control transactions.
 
4.6.           Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 4 or any other action described in Section 4, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holder of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances.
 
4.7.           Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
 
4.8.           Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
5.           Notices to Warrant Holders.
 
5.1.           Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.
 
5.2.           Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
 
 
13

 
(a)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
 
(b)           there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation,
 
(c)           there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or
 
(d)           the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, or (iii) any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof); or (iv) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever;
 
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.
 
5.3.           No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
6.           No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without
 
 
14

 
limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
 
7.           Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the date of issuance hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants (without regard to any ownership limitations provided in Section 2.4(i)). All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.
 
8.           Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
 
 
15

 
9.           Piggyback Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be registered to the extent set forth and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in that certain Investor Rights Agreement dated of even date hereof, among the Holder, the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), and the Company may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable hereunder if Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended Registration Statement.
 
10.           Supplying Information. Upon any default by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
 
11.           Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
 
12.           Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
 
13.           Financial and Business Information.
 
13.1.           Quarterly Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder, as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, one copy of an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such quarter and, in the case of the second and third quarters, for the portion of the fiscal year ending with such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous fiscal year. Such financial statements shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by the certification of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer that such financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and for such year-to-date period, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such
 
 
16

 
quarterly information under this Section 13.1 to the extent it is publicly available; and provided further, that if such information contains material non-public information, the Company shall so notify the Holder prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have the right to refuse delivery of such information.
 
13.2.           Annual Information. The Company will deliver to the Holder as soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, one copy of an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such year, and audited consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries for such year; setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding periods in the previous fiscal year; all prepared in accordance with GAAP, and which audited financial statements shall be accompanied by an opinion thereon of the independent certified public accountants regularly retained by the Company, or any other firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such annual information under this Section 13.2 to the extent it is publicly available; and provided further, that if such information contains material non-public information, the Company shall so notify the Holder prior to delivery thereof and the Holder shall have the right to refuse delivery of such information..
 
13.3.           Filings. The Company will file on or before the required date all regular or periodic reports (pursuant to the Exchange Act) with the Commission and will deliver to Holder promptly upon their becoming available one copy of each report, notice or proxy statement sent by the Company to its stockholders generally.
 
14.           Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
15.           Miscellaneous.
 
15.1           Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any third party costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
15.2           Notice Generally. All notices, requests, demands or other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
15.3           Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 3.1,
 
 
17

 
this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.
 
15.4           Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions of this Warrant waived with the written consent of both the Company and the Holder.
 
15.5           Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
15.6           Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
 
15.7           Governing Law. This Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be consummated in the State of New York and shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the local laws of the State of New York without regard to the provisions thereof relating to conflicts of laws. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in New York City, New York in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant.

2.           Exercise of Warrant.
 
2.1.           Manner of Exercise.
 
(a)           From and after the date of issuance hereof and until 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder.
 
(b)           In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, (i) a written notice of Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, and (iii) upon exercise of this Warrant in full, this Warrant.  Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof to the Holder, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program.  The parties agree to coordinate with DTC to accomplish this objective.   In lieu of such electronic delivery through DWAC, the Company shall, to the extent requested by the Holder or required by law, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise hereof.  The time periods for delivery of physical certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares are the same as those described above.  Any stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date when the notice to exercise is received by the Company as described
 
 
4

 
above.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, if not effected using book entry as described below, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
 
(c)           Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company, provided that if at any time following the 120th day after the Closing Date there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
 
 
(A) = the closing sale price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of such election;
 
(B) = the Warrant Price of this Warrant, as adjusted; and
 
 
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.1(c).
 
(d)           All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
 
(e)           Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon exercise of any portion of this Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof, the warrantholder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless such holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant.  The warrantholder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares so purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the warrantholder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon each such exercise.  In connection therewith a form of ledger to maintain a record of such transactions is attached hereto.  The warrantholder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or a new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof.
 
2.2.           Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder
 
 
5

 
of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
 
2.3.           Continued Validity. A Holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part (other than a Holder who acquires such shares after the same have been publicly sold pursuant to a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or sold pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder), shall continue to be entitled with respect to such shares to all rights to which it would have been entitled as the Holder under Sections 10 and 13 of this Warrant.
 
2.4.           Restrictions on Exercise Amount.
 
(i)           Unless a Holder delivers to the Company irrevocable written notice prior to the date of issuance hereof or sixty-one days prior to the effective date of such notice that this Section 2.4(i) shall not apply to such Holder, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of shares of Warrant Stock to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Commission, and the percentage held by the holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of Warrant Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.
 
(ii)           Overall Limit on Common Stock Issuable.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other documents, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue, upon exercise of the Warrants, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount of shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Issuable Maximum”) without causing the Company to breach its obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(d) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules), provided that any portion of this Warrant which cannot be exercised due to such Issuable Maximum shall be purchased by the Company using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.  Each Holder shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold to such Holder by (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and sold by the Company.  If any Holder shall no longer hold any Notes, then such Holder’s remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum, if any, shall be
 
 
6

 
reallocated pro-rata among the other Holders.  “Shareholder Approval” means approval by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(e) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules) and Nevada corporate law, of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants (as amended hereby), including without limitation the issuance of all of the Conversion Shares under the Notes in excess of the Issuable Maximum.
 
3.           Transfer, Division and Combination.
 
3.1.           Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 12, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company. In connection with any transfer of this Warrant after the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Holder or transferee of this Warrant shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs in connection with such transfer (including without limitation the reasonable attorneys fees for preparing and filing a prospectus supplement with the SEC and/or delivering an updated opinion letter to the Seller’s transfer agent).
 
3.2.           Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, unless, in each case, such Warrant Stock is registered under the Securities Act or is eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
 
 
7

 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER ___, 2011, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF ITS OUTSTANDING SECURITIES. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
 
3.3.           Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
 
4.           Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
 
4.1.           Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:
 
(i)           declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
 
(ii)           subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
 
(iii)           combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:
 
(1)           the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock
 
 
8

 
that would have been acquirable under this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable, and
 
(2)           the Current Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
 
(A)           the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by
 
(B)           the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
 
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
4.2.           Certain Other Distributions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution of:
 
(i)           cash,
 
(ii)           any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof), or
 
(iii)           any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever, then:
 
(1)           the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the Current Warrant Price per share of Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (y) the denominator of which shall be such Current Warrant Price minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable; and
 
(2)           the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted to equal (x) the Current Warrant Price multiplied by the number of shares of
 
 
9

 
Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 4.2 and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 4.1.
 
4.3.           Securities Issuances.  In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Current Warrant Price, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Current Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Current Warrant Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale, and the number of shares of Warrant Stock for which this Warrant is thereafter exercisable shall be automatically inversely proportionately increased such that the aggregate Warrant Price hereunder immediately preceding such issuance shall be equal to the aggregate Warrant Price following such issuance and the adjustments hereby.  The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders.  The Company shall give to the Warrantholder written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
 
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
 
 
10

 
exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.
 
For purposes of this Section 4.3, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Current Warrant Price shall be used.
 
“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company.  In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price.  A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above).  In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions or weighted-average anti-dilution provisions similar to that set forth herein, provided that any actual reduction of such price under any such security pursuant to such weighted-average anti-dilution provision shall be included and cause a adjustment hereunder), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities.  If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder.  In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
 
4.4.           Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:
 
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum
 
 
11

 
adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
 
(b)  Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.
 
(c)  When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
 
(d)  Escrow of Stock. If after any property becomes distributable pursuant to Section 4 by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, a holder of this Warrant exercises the Warrant during such time, then such holder shall continue to be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereunder by reason of such adjustment and such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the holder of this Warrant by the Company to be issued to holder of this Warrant upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned to the Company.
 
4.5.           Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.
 
(a)  If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
 
(b)  In case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.5(a) above, the resulting, successor or acquiring entity (if other than the Company) and, if an entity different from the successor or acquiring entity, the entity whose capital stock or assets the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive as a result of such Change of Control, shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate
 
 
12

 
(as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive Change of Control transactions.
 
4.6.           Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action in respect of its Common Stock, other than the payment of dividends permitted by Section 4 or any other action described in Section 4, then, unless such action will not have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the holder of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and/or the purchase price thereof shall be adjusted in such manner as may be equitable in the circumstances.
 
4.7.           Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
 
4.8.           Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
5.           Notices to Warrant Holders.
 
5.1.           Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.
 
5.2.           Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
 
 
13

 
(a)           the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
 
(b)           there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation,
 
(c)           there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, or
 
(d)           the Company shall cause the holders of its Common Stock to be entitled to receive (i) any dividend or other distribution of cash, (ii) any evidences of its indebtedness, or (iii) any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever (other than cash or additional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 4.1 hereof); or (iv) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or assets of any nature whatsoever;
 
then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be selected for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 20 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 15.2.
 
5.3.        No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
6.           No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without
 
 
14

 
limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
 
7.           Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the date of issuance hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants (without regard to any ownership limitations provided in Section 2.4(i)). All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.
 
8.           Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
 
 
15

 
9.           Piggyback Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be registered to the extent set forth and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in that certain Investor Rights Agreement dated of even date hereof, among the Holder, the Company and the other parties named therein (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), and the Company may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable hereunder if Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended Registration Statement.
 
10.           Supplying Information. Upon any default by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall cooperate with the Holder in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such Holder to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrant or Restricted Common Stock.
 
11.           Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
 
12.           Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
 
13.           Financial and Business Information.

Such financial statements shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP and accompanied by the certification of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer that such financial statements present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and for such year-to-date period, as the case may be; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver such
 
 
16

14.           Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
15.           Miscellaneous.
 
15.1           Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any third party costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

OF

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

 
  Original Principal Amount: $400,000

This Note (“Note”) is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), designated as the Company's 8.25% Convertible Notes due on September 13, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”) in an aggregate principal amount (when taken together with the original principal amounts of all other Notes) which does not exceed Four Million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $4,000,000) (the “Notes”).
 
For Value Received, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of SOLOMON STRATEGIC HOLDINGS, INC. or its registered assigns or successors-in-interest (“Holder”) the principal sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $400,000), together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, on the Maturity Date, to the extent such principal amount and interest has not been repaid or converted into the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms hereof.  Interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof shall accrue at the rate of 8.25% per annum from the date of original issuance hereof (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date upon acceleration or by conversion or redemption in accordance with the terms hereof or of the other Agreements.  Interest on this Note shall accrue daily commencing on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, 30-day months and actual days elapsed and shall be payable in accordance with Section 1 hereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Note shall bear interest on the due and unpaid Principal Amount from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 4(a) at the rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lower of eighteen (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:
 
Section 1. Payments of Principal and Interest.
 
(a) Interest Only Payments.  Subject to the terms of Section 1(b) below, on each Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder all interest accrued to date on the entire Principal Amount of this Note (“Interest Amount”), in either cash or in shares of Common Stock at the Company’s option, in accordance with this Section 1.
 
(b) Certain Additional Payments by the Company.  Any payment by the Company to the Holder hereunder, whether for principal, interest or otherwise, shall not be subject to any deduction, withholding or offset for any reason whatsoever except to the extent required by law, and the Company represents that to its best knowledge no deduction, withholding or offset is so required for any tax or any other reason.  Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Note to the contrary, if it shall be determined that any payment by the Company to or for the benefit of the Holder (whether for principal, interest or otherwise and whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable, actual or deemed, pursuant to the terms of this Note or otherwise) (a “Payment”) would be or is subject to any deduction, withholding or offset due to any duty or tax (such duty or tax, together with any interest and/or penalties related thereto, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Payment Tax”), then the Company shall, in addition to all sums otherwise payable hereunder, pay to the Holder an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after all such Payment Taxes (whether by deduction, withholding, offset or payment) (including any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes), including without limitation any Payment Taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) imposed upon any Gross-Up Payment, Holder actually receives an amount of Gross-Up Payment equal to the Payment Tax imposed upon the Payment (i.e., the Holder receives a net amount equal to the Payment).
 
(i) Cash or Common Stock.  Subject to the terms hereof, the Company shall either (i) pay the Interest Amount in full in cash on each Payment Date or (ii) issue shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of such Interest Amount in accordance with the terms hereof, but not both, at the Company’s option.  Prior to each Payment Date the Company shall deliver to all the holders of Notes a written irrevocable notice electing to pay such Interest Amount in cash or Common Stock on such Payment Date.  Such notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the applicable Payment Date but no more than twenty (20) days prior to such Payment Date.  If such notice is not delivered within the prescribed period set forth in the preceding sentence, then the Interest Amount shall be paid in cash.  If the Company elects to pay any Interest Amount in cash on an Payment Date, then on such date the Company shall pay to the Holder an
 
 
6

 
amount equal to the Interest Amount due in satisfaction of such obligation.  If the Company elects to pay such Interest Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares to be issued for such Payment Date shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the Interest Amount due, by (y) 90% of the Market Price determined as of the applicable Payment Date.  Such shares shall be issued and delivered within three (3) Trading Days following such Payment Date and shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all encumbrances, restrictions and legends.  If any Holder does not receive the requisite number of shares of Common Stock in the form required above within such three Trading Day period, the Holder shall have the option of either (a) requiring the Company to issue and deliver all or a portion of such shares or (b) canceling such election to pay in Common Stock (in whole or in part), in which case the Company shall immediately pay in cash the Interest Amount due hereunder or such portion as the Holder specifies is to be paid in cash instead of being converted.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1, all holders of Notes must be treated equally with respect to such payment of Interest Amounts.  Any payment of the Interest Amount hereunder in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute and be deemed a conversion of such portion of the Principal Amount of this Note for all purposes under this Note (except that such conversion shall be at the rate set forth above and except as otherwise provided herein).
 
(ii) Limitations to Payment in Common Stock.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be prohibited from exercising its right to pay any Interest Amount hereunder in shares of Common Stock (and must deliver cash in respect thereof) on the applicable Payment Date (1) if at any time within ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Payment Date any of the Equity Conditions fails to be satisfied or an Event of Default hereunder exists or occurs, unless otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option, and (2) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance of shares of Common Stock would result in the Holder hereof exceeding the limitations contained in Section 3(i) below.
 
(c) Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to have up to 75% of the original principal amount of this Note repaid on the first anniversary of the Closing (“Redemption Date”) by delivering written notice to the Company at least 30 days prior to such Redemption Date (provided that Holder may revoke such notice at any time prior to five days before the Redemption Date).  If the Holder makes such election, then on the Redemption Date the Company shall pay the Holder such principal amount elected to be redeemed together with any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
 
(d) Subscription Collection.  The Company shall use its best efforts to collect in full the $2,075,460 in stock subscription receivable indicated on the Company’s consolidated March 31, 2011 balance sheet on or before December 31, 2011.  If the Company fails to collect at least 80% of such stock subscription receivable on or before March 31, 2012, then notwithstanding anything contained herein the interest rate hereunder shall be automatically increased to the Default Rate, provided that if the Company subsequently collects at least 80% of such stock subscription receivable, then provided there is no Event of Default hereunder the interest rate hereunder shall be reset to 8.25% per annum as of the first day of the first full calendar quarter commencing after such date on which the Company so collects in excess of 80%.

Section 2. Senior Debt.  So long as any Principal Amount of Notes is outstanding, the Company and its subsidiaries shall not directly or indirectly, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, except as to indebtedness outstanding as of the date of this Note in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness in effect as of the date of the Note, incur or permit to exist additional indebtedness which is senior to the Notes, or incur, assume or permit to exist any lien, mortgage, security interest or encumbrance (other than statutory liens imposed by law incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith, if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made in respect thereof) on any of its assets, except for capital leases, financing for equipment and purchase money security interests. However, Holder acknowledges that the Company intends to enter into a loan agreement with a bank in connection with the acquisition of a UK business whereby the loan in the amount of £1.3 million is secured by the assets NetSol Technologies Europe, Ltd. and guaranteed by the Company.  This loan is specifically excluded from this Section 2.
 
Section 3. Conversion.
 
(a) Conversion Right.  Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, at any time and from time to time, to convert the outstanding Principal Amount under this Note in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a fully executed notice of conversion in the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), which may be transmitted by facsimile.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note and the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall not be convertible into Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder hereof exceeding the limitations contained in, or otherwise violating the provisions of, Section 3(i) below.
 
(b) Common Stock Issuance upon Conversion.
 
(i) Conversion Date Procedures.  Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall be converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount being converted by the then applicable Conversion Price.  The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder and any Payment Date shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.  If a conversion under this Note cannot be effected in full for any reason, or if the Holder is converting less than all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder (but no later than five Trading Days after the Conversion Date) a Note for such outstanding Principal Amount as has not been converted if this Note has been surrendered to the Company for partial conversion.  The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company upon any conversion or hereunder unless the full outstanding Principal Amount represented by this Note is being converted or repaid.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment.

(ii) Stock Certificates or DWAC.  The Company will deliver to the Holder not later than three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions if a Registration Statement has been declared effective covering such shares or such shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144), representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).  If in the case of any conversion hereunder, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion.  If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through DTC) pursuant to this Section 3(b) (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends, if such shares have been registered) in accordance herewith, prior to the sixth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to 1% of the Principal Amount per month.
 
(c) Conversion Price Adjustments.
 
(i) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations.  If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Notes are outstanding (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then each Affected Conversion Price (as defined below) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
 
As used herein, the Affected Conversion Prices (each an “Affected Conversion Price”) shall refer to:  (i) the Conversion Price; and (ii) each reported VWAP occurring on any Trading Day included in the period used for determining the Market Price or Conversion Price, as the case may be, which Trading Day occurred before the record date in the case of events referred to in clause (A) of this subparagraph 3(c)(i) and before the effective date in the case of the events referred to in clauses (B) and (C) of this subparagraph 3(c)(i).
 
(ii) Distributions.  If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Notes are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences
 
 
9

 
of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (excluding those referred to in Section 3(c)(i) above), then concurrently with such distributions to holders of Common Stock in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, rights or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company and a majority-in-interest of Holders of Notes.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets, rights or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.  If the Company and Holders of Notes are unable to agree upon the determination of the fair market value of such assets, rights or evidence of indebtedness so distributed, then the Company shall promptly submit (via email or facsimile) such disputed determination or calculation to a reputable investment bank or valuation company which shall be independent of all parties and selected jointly by the Company and a majority-in-interest of Holders of Notes.
 
(iii) Common Stock Issuances.  In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding (other than pursuant to terms existing on the date hereof), at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Conversion Price, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Conversion Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.
 
The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders.  The Company shall give to the each Holder of Notes written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
 
 
10

For purposes of this Section 3(c)(iii), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be used.
 
(iv) Rounding of Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 3 or Section 1 shall be made to the nearest 4 decimal places or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(v) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Affected Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company shall promptly deliver to each holder of the Notes, a notice setting forth the Affected Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.
 
(vi) Change in Control Transactions.  In case of any Change in Control Transaction, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert this Note, in whole or in part, at the lower of the Conversion Price and the then applicable Market Price into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and/or property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Change in Control Transaction, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Change in Control Transaction would have been entitled if such conversion were permitted, subject to such further applicable adjustments set forth in this Section 3 or (B) require the Company or its successor to redeem this Note, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the outstanding Principal Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (x) the average of the Fair Market Price for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Holder's election to have its Notes redeemed and (y) the Conversion Ratio.  The terms of any such Change in Control Transaction shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holders the right to receive the amount of securities, cash and/or property upon any conversion or redemption following such Change in Control Transaction to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion would have been entitled in such Change in Control Transaction, and interest payable hereunder shall be in cash or such new securities and/or property, at the Holder’s option.  This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(e) No Fractions.  Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock at such time.  If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
 
 
12

Each Holder of Notes shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold to such Holder by (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and sold by the Company. If any Holder shall no longer hold any Notes, then such Holder’s remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum, if any, shall be reallocated pro-rata among the other Holders. “Shareholder Approval” means approval by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(e) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules) and Nevada corporate law, of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Notes (as amended hereby), including without limitation the issuance of all of the Conversion Shares under the Notes in excess of the Issuable Maximum. To the extent any portion of the Principal Amount of Notes is not convertible due to the Issuable Maximum, such portion shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

14

 
(b) Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the Notes, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other Notes held by the Holder, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from events described in clauses (vii) and (viii) of Section 4(a), this Note shall become due and payable without further action or notice.  In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be the greater of (1) 125% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes held by the Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A) the highest closing price for the five (5) Trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio.  In either case the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within 7 days of Holder’s request.  The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.
 
Section 5. General.
 
(a) Payment of Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.
 
(b) Savings Clause.  In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law.  If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt.  If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.
 
(c) Amendment.  Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

(e) No Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power.  Each and every right, remedy or power
 
 
15

 
hereby granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.

amount equal to the Interest Amount due in satisfaction of such obligation.  If the Company elects to pay such Interest Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares to be issued for such Payment Date shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the Interest Amount due, by (y) 90% of the Market Price determined as of the applicable Payment Date.  Such shares shall be issued and delivered within three (3) Trading Days following such Payment Date and shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all encumbrances, restrictions and legends.  If any Holder does not receive the requisite number of shares of Common Stock in the form required above within such three Trading Day period, the Holder shall have the option of either (a) requiring the Company to issue and deliver all or a portion of such shares or (b) canceling such election to pay in Common Stock (in whole or in part), in which case the Company shall immediately pay in cash the Interest Amount due hereunder or such portion as the Holder specifies is to be paid in cash instead of being converted.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1, all holders of Notes must be treated equally with respect to such payment of Interest Amounts.  Any payment of the Interest Amount hereunder in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof shall constitute and be deemed a conversion of such portion of the Principal Amount of this Note for all purposes under this Note (except that such conversion shall be at the rate set forth above and except as otherwise provided herein).
 
(ii) Limitations to Payment in Common Stock.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall be prohibited from exercising its right to pay any Interest Amount hereunder in shares of Common Stock (and must deliver cash in respect thereof) on the applicable Payment Date (1) if at any time within ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Payment Date any of the Equity Conditions fails to be satisfied or an Event of Default hereunder exists or occurs, unless otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option, and (2) to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance of shares of Common Stock would result in the Holder hereof exceeding the limitations contained in Section 3(i) below.
 
(c) Redemption.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to have up to 75% of the original principal amount of this Note repaid on the first anniversary of the Closing (“Redemption Date”) by delivering written notice to the Company at least 30 days prior to such Redemption Date (provided that Holder may revoke such notice at any time prior to five days before the Redemption Date).  If the Holder makes such election, then on the Redemption Date the Company shall pay the Holder such principal amount elected to be redeemed together with any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
 
(d) Subscription Collection.  The Company shall use its best efforts to collect in full the $2,075,460 in stock subscription receivable indicated on the Company’s consolidated March 31, 2011 balance sheet on or before December 31, 2011.  If the Company fails to collect at least 80% of such stock subscription receivable on or before March 31, 2012, then notwithstanding anything contained herein the interest rate hereunder shall be automatically increased to the Default Rate, provided that if the Company subsequently collects at least 80% of such stock subscription receivable, then provided there is no Event of Default hereunder the interest rate hereunder shall be reset to 8.25% per annum as of the first day of the first full calendar quarter commencing after such date on which the Company so collects in excess of 80%.

Section 2. Senior Debt.  So long as any Principal Amount of Notes is outstanding, the Company and its subsidiaries shall not directly or indirectly, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes then outstanding, except as to indebtedness outstanding as of the date of this Note in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness in effect as of the date of the Note, incur or permit to exist additional indebtedness which is senior to the Notes, or incur, assume or permit to exist any lien, mortgage, security interest or encumbrance (other than statutory liens imposed by law incurred in the ordinary course of business for sums not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith, if such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made in respect thereof) on any of its assets, except for capital leases, financing for equipment and purchase money security interests. However, Holder acknowledges that the Company intends to enter into a loan agreement with a bank in connection with the acquisition of a UK business whereby the loan in the amount of £1.3 million is secured by the assets NetSol Technologies Europe, Ltd. and guaranteed by the Company.  This loan is specifically excluded from this Section 2.
 
Section 3. Conversion.
 
(a) Conversion Right.  Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, at any time and from time to time, to convert the outstanding Principal Amount under this Note in whole or in part by delivering to the Company a fully executed notice of conversion in the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”), which may be transmitted by facsimile.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note and the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall not be convertible into Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Holder hereof exceeding the limitations contained in, or otherwise violating the provisions of, Section 3(i) below.
 
(b) Common Stock Issuance upon Conversion.
 
(i) Conversion Date Procedures.  Upon conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder shall be converted into such number of fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free of any liens, claims and encumbrances, as is determined by dividing the outstanding Principal Amount being converted by the then applicable Conversion Price.  The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder and any Payment Date shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.  If a conversion under this Note cannot be effected in full for any reason, or if the Holder is converting less than all of the outstanding Principal Amount hereunder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder (but no later than five Trading Days after the Conversion Date) a Note for such outstanding Principal Amount as has not been converted if this Note has been surrendered to the Company for partial conversion.  The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company upon any conversion or hereunder unless the full outstanding Principal Amount represented by this Note is being converted or repaid.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the outstanding Principal Amount so converted and repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion or repayment.
 
 
8

 
(ii) Stock Certificates or DWAC.  The Company will deliver to the Holder not later than three (3) Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions if a Registration Statement has been declared effective covering such shares or such shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144), representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note.  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).  If in the case of any conversion hereunder, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note tendered for conversion.  If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through DTC) pursuant to this Section 3(b) (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends, if such shares have been registered) in accordance herewith, prior to the sixth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount equal to 1% of the Principal Amount per month.
 
(c) Conversion Price Adjustments.
 
(i) Stock Dividends, Splits and Combinations.  If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Notes are outstanding (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on any equity securities (including instruments or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities) in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combine outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then each Affected Conversion Price (as defined below) shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
 
As used herein, the Affected Conversion Prices (each an “Affected Conversion Price”) shall refer to:  (i) the Conversion Price; and (ii) each reported VWAP occurring on any Trading Day included in the period used for determining the Market Price or Conversion Price, as the case may be, which Trading Day occurred before the record date in the case of events referred to in clause (A) of this subparagraph 3(c)(i) and before the effective date in the case of the events referred to in clauses (B) and (C) of this subparagraph 3(c)(i).
 
(ii) Distributions.  If the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at any time while the Notes are outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock evidences
 
 
9

 
of its indebtedness or assets or cash or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (excluding those referred to in Section 3(c)(i) above), then concurrently with such distributions to holders of Common Stock in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets, rights or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to 1 outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company and a majority-in-interest of Holders of Notes.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement delivered to the Holder describing the portion of assets, rights or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to 1 share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.  If the Company and Holders of Notes are unable to agree upon the determination of the fair market value of such assets, rights or evidence of indebtedness so distributed, then the Company shall promptly submit (via email or facsimile) such disputed determination or calculation to a reputable investment bank or valuation company which shall be independent of all parties and selected jointly by the Company and a majority-in-interest of Holders of Notes.
 
(iii) Common Stock Issuances.  In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or Convertible Securities, or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding (other than pursuant to terms existing on the date hereof), at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Conversion Price, then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Conversion Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale.
 
The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders.  The Company shall give to the each Holder of Notes written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
 
 
10

 
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding.
 
For purposes of this Section 3(c)(iii), if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be used.
 
(iv) Rounding of Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 3 or Section 1 shall be made to the nearest 4 decimal places or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(v) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Affected Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company shall promptly deliver to each holder of the Notes, a notice setting forth the Affected Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, provided that any failure to so provide such notice shall not affect the automatic adjustment hereunder.
 
(vi) Change in Control Transactions.  In case of any Change in Control Transaction, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to, at its option, (A) convert this Note, in whole or in part, at the lower of the Conversion Price and the then applicable Market Price into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and/or property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Change in Control Transaction, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which this Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Change in Control Transaction would have been entitled if such conversion were permitted, subject to such further applicable adjustments set forth in this Section 3 or (B) require the Company or its successor to redeem this Note, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 125% of the outstanding Principal Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (x) the average of the Fair Market Price for the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the Holder's election to have its Notes redeemed and (y) the Conversion Ratio.  The terms of any such Change in Control Transaction shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holders the right to receive the amount of securities, cash and/or property upon any conversion or redemption following such Change in Control Transaction to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon such conversion would have been entitled in such Change in Control Transaction, and interest payable hereunder shall be in cash or such new securities and/or property, at the Holder’s option.  This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
 
(vii) Notice of Certain Events.  If:
 
 
A.
the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock; or

 
B.
the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of its Common Stock; or

 
11

 
 
C.
the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights; or

 
D.
the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share of exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or

 
E.
the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the books of the Company, on or prior to the date notice to the Company's stockholders generally is given, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange.
 
(d) Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note (including repayments in stock), free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of the Notes, not less than such number of shares of Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 3 but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note hereunder in Common Stock (including repayments in stock).  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and freely tradeable.
 
(e) No Fractions.  Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock at such time.  If the Company elects not, or is unable, to make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.
 
 
12

 
(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note (including repayment in stock) shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Note when surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by an assignment form; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any such transfer.
 
(g) Cancellation.  After all of the Principal Amount (including accrued but unpaid interest and default payments at any time owed on this Note) have been paid in full or converted into Common Stock, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled and the Holder shall promptly surrender the Note to the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices.
 
(h) Notices Procedures.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by confirmed facsimile, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service to the Company at the facsimile telephone number or address of the principal place of business of the Company as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to the Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.  Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed delivered (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally, (ii) when sent by facsimile, upon receipt if received on a Business Day prior to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), or on the first Business Day following such receipt if received on a Business Day after 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) or (iii) upon receipt, when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service.
 
(i) Conversion Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon conversion pursuant to the terms hereof shall not exceed a number that, when added to the total number of shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by such Holder (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities (including the Notes) that have limitations on the Holder’s right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), together with all shares of Common Stock deemed beneficially owned at such time (other than by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) by the holder’s “affiliates” at such time (as defined in Rule 144 of the Act) (“Aggregation Parties”) that would be aggregated for purposes of determining whether a group under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, exists, would exceed 9.9% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock (the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”).  Each holder shall have the right (w) at any time and from time to time to reduce its Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately upon notice to the Company and (x) (subject to waiver) at
 
 
13

 
any time and from time to time, to increase its Restricted Ownership Percentage immediately in the event of the announcement as pending or planned, of a Change in Control Transaction.
 
(j) Overall Limit on Common Stock Issuable.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the other Notes to the contrary, if the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount of shares of Common Stock which may be issued (the “Issuable Maximum”) without causing the Company to breach its obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(d) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules). Each Holder of Notes shall be entitled to a portion of the Issuable Maximum equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold to such Holder by (y) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and sold by the Company. If any Holder shall no longer hold any Notes, then such Holder’s remaining portion of the Issuable Maximum, if any, shall be reallocated pro-rata among the other Holders. “Shareholder Approval” means approval by the shareholders of the Company, in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including without limitation Section 5635(e) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules) and Nevada corporate law, of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Notes (as amended hereby), including without limitation the issuance of all of the Conversion Shares under the Notes in excess of the Issuable Maximum. To the extent any portion of the Principal Amount of Notes is not convertible due to the Issuable Maximum, such portion shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
 
Section 4. Defaults and Remedies.
 
(a) Events of Default. An “Event of Default” is:  (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 business days after the due date thereof; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of Underlying Shares upon and in accordance with terms hereof, which default continues for five Business Days after the Company has received written notice informing the Company that it has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the fifth day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for fifteen (15) days after written notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of any of the Notes, the Purchase Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement (including without limitation the failure to issue the requisite number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion hereof and the failure to redeem Notes upon the Holder’s request following a Change in Control Transaction pursuant to Section 3(c)(vi); (iv) a material breach by the Company of its representations or warranties in the Purchase Agreement or Investor Rights Agreement; (v) if at any time the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or has failed to file all reports required to be filed thereunder during the then preceding 12 months; (vi) if at any time the Common Stock shall not be listed or quoted for trading on a the New York Stock Exchange, Alternext, the NASDAQ Stock Market or the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board; (vii) any default after any cure period under, or acceleration prior to maturity of, any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company for in excess of $25,000 or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company for in excess of $25,000, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter; or (viii) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event.
 
 
14

 
(b) Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the Notes, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all other Notes held by the Holder, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from events described in clauses (vii) and (viii) of Section 4(a), this Note shall become due and payable without further action or notice.  In the event of such acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be the greater of (1) 125% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes held by the Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A) the highest closing price for the five (5) Trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio.  In either case the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within 7 days of Holder’s request.  The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.
 
Section 5. General.
 
(a) Payment of Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay all reasonable charges and expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in successfully enforcing this Note and/or collecting any amount due under this Note.
 
(b) Savings Clause.  In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  In no event shall the amount of interest paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowable by applicable law.  If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the excess collected shall be applied to reduce the principal debt.  If the interest actually collected hereunder is still in excess of the applicable maximum rate, the interest rate shall be reduced so as not to exceed the maximum allowable under law.
 
(c) Amendment.  Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.
 
(d) Assignment, Etc.  The Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any transferee only with the prior written consent of the Company, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that (i) the Holder may assign or transfer this Note to any of such Holder's affiliates without the consent of the Company and (ii) upon any Event of Default, the Holder may assign or transfer this Note without the consent of the Company.  The Holder shall notify the Company of any such assignment or transfer promptly.  This Note shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.
 
(e) No Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, remedy or power hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power.  Each and every right, remedy or power
 
 
15

 
hereby granted to the Holder or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Holder from time to time.
 
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
 
(i) Governing Law.  THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
 
(ii) Jurisdiction.  The Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any State or Federal Court sitting in the State of New York, County of New York, or San Jose, California, over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note.  The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that suit, action, or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
The Company agrees that the service of process upon it mailed by certified or registered mail (and service so made shall be deemed complete three days after the same has been posted as aforesaid) or by personal service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding.  Nothing herein shall affect Holder's right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.  The Company agrees that a final non-appealable judgement in any such suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on such judgment or in any other lawful manner.
 
(III) NO JURY TRIAL.  THE COMPANY HERETO KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS NOTE.
 
(g) Replacement Notes.  This Note may be exchanged by Holder at any time and from time to time for a Note or Notes with different denominations representing an equal aggregate outstanding Principal Amount, as reasonably requested by Holder, upon surrendering the same.  No service charge will be made for such registration or exchange.  In the event that Holder notifies the Company that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a replacement Note identical in all respects to the original Note (except for registration number and Principal Amount, if different than that shown on the original Note), shall be issued to the Holder, provided that the Holder executes and delivers to the Company an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with the Note.
