(a)    Such Lender represents and warrants that the Note issued to it is being acquired for investment only for its own account and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, except to the extent that it serves as a nominee for a limited number of “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act.
 
(b)    Such Lender understands that the Note issued to it has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws on the grounds that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and that Borrower’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on such Lender’s representations set forth herein.
 
(c)    Such Lender recognizes that the investment in the Note issued to it involves a special risk, and represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Note issued to it, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment. Prior to making a decision to enter into this Agreement, such Lender was provided the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the executive officers of Borrower concerning Borrower, and to obtain from Borrower information requested from Borrower. Based on the materials provided by Borrower in response to due diligence requests, such Lender has conducted an investigation to its satisfaction of the investment in the Note issued to it and has received all information requested from Borrower it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Note issued to it; provided, however, that no investigation conducted by such Lender shall be deemed to release Borrower in any manner whatsoever from any breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. On the basis of the foregoing, and on the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith, such Lender acknowledges that it has, individually or through advisers, such knowledge or experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable it to understand and evaluate the merits and risks associated with an investment in the Note issued to it.
 
(d)    Such Lender understands that each certificate representing the Note or the shares into which the Note is convertible will be endorsed with the following legend:
 
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
 
 
-26-

 
(e)    Such Lender and the persons for which it acts as nominee are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the SEC.

4.3 No Public Market. Each Lender understands that no public market exists for the Notes and there is no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Notes.
 
4.4 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Lenders nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby does or would, after the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, (a) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or violate the organic documents of such Lender, or (b) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or violate any Law applicable to such Lender, except as would not otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on such Lender.

Borrower acknowledges that Lenders do not and will not waive any rights it may have under this Agreement as a result of such consultations.
 
5.4 Supplements to Schedules. From time to time, but in no event less than every ninety (90) days, until the date on which no amounts due under the Notes are outstanding, Borrower shall supplement or amend the Schedules that it has delivered with respect to any matter first existing or occurring following the date hereof that (a) if existing or occurring at or prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Schedules, or (b) is necessary to correct any information in the Schedules that has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to any Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 6.2 or otherwise.
 
5.5 Authorization and Reservation of Common Stock. It is the intent of Lenders and Borrower that, upon issuance, the shares of Common Stock issuable to AirWorks and RS Properties upon conversion of the AirWorks Note and the RS Properties Note in full, assuming the entire $17,300,000 amount is advanced by AirWorks and RS Properties, (the “AirWorks and RS Properties Notes Shares”) will represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis (taking into account, without limitation, all potentially dilutive securities which are outstanding, authorized by Borrower, or otherwise required to be issued, as of the First Closing Date, and assuming that all outstanding options, warrants and other rights for the purchase of capital stock of Borrower shall have been exercised, and all outstanding shares of all series of Borrower’s preferred stock, if any, have been converted into Common Stock), no less than 93.3% of the outstanding capital stock of Borrower. As soon as reasonably practicable following the First Closing Date, Borrower shall take such action as is necessary to authorize and reserve a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to permit Lenders to convert the Notes in whole. Accordingly, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lenders and Borrower agree that if at any time after the First Closing Date it is determined that the AirWorks and RS Properties Notes Shares will not, or did not represent, on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis at least 93.3% of the outstanding capital stock of Borrower, Lenders and Borrower will take all such action as is necessary for Borrower to authorize and reserve, and Borrower shall authorize and reserve for Lenders, such additional shares of its Common Stock as are necessary for AirWorks and RS Properties to hold, beneficially and of record, at least 93.3% of the outstanding capital stock of Borrower on an as-converted, fully-diluted basis upon conversion of their respective Notes in whole.

5.6 Expansion of Board of Directors; Observer.

5.7 Publicity. Except as otherwise required by Law as advised by counsel, neither Lenders nor Borrower shall issue any press release or make any other public statement, in each case relating to or connected with or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contained herein, without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party to the contents and the manner of presentation and publication thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lenders, and each Lender shall give prompt notice to Borrower, of (a) the occurrence, or nonoccurrence, of any event which would be likely to cause any representation or warranty on its part contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate and (b) any failure by such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice (including, any condition to closing).
 
5.11 SBIA Regulatory Compliance.
 
(a)    Within seventy-five (75) days after the date hereof, Borrower shall provide to Lenders a certificate of Borrower’s chief financial office and chief executive officer (a) verifying (and describing in reasonable detail) the use of the proceeds of the Lenders’ financing hereunder to such date and (b) certifying compliance by Borrower with the provisions of this Section 5.11. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower shall at all times provide Lenders and the SBA access to Borrower’s books and records for the purposes of, without limitation, verifying the use of the proceeds of Lenders’ financing and for all other purposes required by the SBA.

(d)    For a period of one year following the date of this Agreement, neither Borrower nor any of its subsidiaries will change its business activity if such change would render Borrower ineligible to receive financial assistance from a Small Business Investment Company under the SBIA and the regulations thereunder (within the meanings of 13 C.F.R. 107.720). If Borrower breaches this covenant, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Lenders, Lenders may demand that Borrower immediately repurchase all Notes acquired by Lenders. The purchase price of the Notes shall be the outstanding principal and all accrued interest then remaining unpaid.

7.9 Attorneys’ Fees. Should any litigation or arbitration be commenced between the parties hereto concerning this Agreement, the party prevailing in such litigation or arbitration shall be entitled, upon final judgment and expiration of all appeals, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and costs in such litigation or arbitration, which shall be determined by the court or arbitrator, as the case may be.
 
7.10 Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall to the extent practicable be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
7.11 Amendments; Waivers; Delays or Omissions. No waiver, amendment, modification or change of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until made in writing and signed by AirWorks and Borrower. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Borrower or a Lender upon any breach, default or noncompliance of Lenders or Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Borrower or Lenders of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents or any waiver on Borrower’s or Lenders’ part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing and that all remedies, either under this Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of Borrower, or otherwise afforded to Borrower and Lenders, shall be cumulative and not alternative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, AirWorks and RS Properties shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to change the respective amounts that may be advanced by them pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that in no event shall AirWorks and RS Properties have the right to contribute in excess of $14,200,000 in the aggregate at all Subsequent Closings.
 
7.12 Finder’s Fees.
 
(a)    Except for The Wall Street Group, which is entitled to receive a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the first Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($16,500,000) of the Loan that is actually advanced to the Borrower by the Lenders, Borrower (i) represents and warrants that it has not retained any finder or broker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Lenders harmless of and from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee to any broker or other Person (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which Borrower is responsible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, under no circumstance will the amount paid to The Wall Street Group exceed Four Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($495,000)
 
-38-

 
(b)    Each Lender, severally but not jointly, hereby agrees to indemnify and to hold Borrower harmless of and from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s fee to any broker or other Person (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which such Lender is responsible.
 
7.13 Assignment. No party hereto may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other person or entity; provided, however, that AirWorks shall be permitted to freely assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
 
7.14 Independent Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of each Lender under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Company hereby confirms that it understands and agrees that the Lenders are not acting as a “group” as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
 
7.15 Construction. Borrower and each of the Lenders have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Borrower and Lender and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
