The Company shall, promptly, but not more than five (5) Business Days after knowledge thereof shall have come to the attention of any officer of the Company, give written notice to the Buyer of all threatened or pending Proceedings before any Governmental Authority or otherwise, affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

During the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder or under any Transaction Documents, the Buyer shall, at the Company’s expense, have the right to make additional inspections without providing advance notice.

(g) Maintain Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall at all times insure and keep insured with insurance companies acceptable to Buyer, all insurable property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, respectively and as applicable, which is of a character usually insured by companies similarly situated and operating like properties, against loss or damage from environmental, fire and such other hazards or risks as are customarily insured against by companies similarly situated and operating like properties; and shall similarly insure employers’, public and professional liability risks. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a certificate setting forth in summary form the nature and extent of the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section. All such policies of insurance must be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer in relation to the amount and term of the Debentures and type and value of the Assets of the Company and the assets and properties of its Subsidiaries, shall identify Buyer as sole/lender’s loss payee and as an additional insured. In the event the Company fails to provide Buyer with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Section or at any time hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above, or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then the Buyer, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by the Company hereunder, may at any time (but shall be under no obligation to so act), obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect thereto, which Buyer deems advisable.

The costs of such insurance, which may be greater than the cost of insurance which the Company may be able to obtain on its own, together with interest thereon at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by Law and any other charges incurred by Buyer in connection with the placement of such insurance may be added to the total Obligations due and owing by the Company hereunder and under the Debentures to the extent not paid by the Company.

So long as Buyer owns, legally or beneficially, any of the Securities, the Company shall: (i) file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any securities Laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company of any state of the United States, or by the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, and, to provide a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing; (ii) not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination; (iii) if required by the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, promptly secure the listing of the Advisory Fee Shares or any other shares of Common Stock issuable to Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents upon the Principal Trading Market (subject to official notice of issuance) and, take all reasonable action under its control to maintain the continued listing, quotation and trading of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, the Advisory Fee Shares or any other shares of Common Stock issuable to Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents) on the Principal Trading Market, and the Company shall comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Trading Market, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and such other Governmental Authorities, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the SEC or any Principal Trading Market, to the extent any such notices could in any way have or be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Rule 144. With a view to making available to Buyer the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Buyer to sell the Advisory Fee Shares or other shares of Common Stock issuable to Buyer under any Transaction Documents to the public without registration, the Company represents and warrants that: (i) the Company is, and has been for a period of at least ninety (90) days immediately preceding the date hereof, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) the Company has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the twelve (12) months preceding the First Closing Date (or for such shorter period that the Company was required to file such reports); and (iii) the Company is not an issuer defined as a “Shell Company” (as hereinafter defined).

(i) Make, keep and ensure that adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144, is publicly available;

(ii) furnish to the Buyer, promptly upon reasonable request: (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (b) such other information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to permit the Buyer to sell any of the Advisory Fee Shares or other shares of Common Stock acquired hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation or restriction; and

(iii) promptly at the request of Buyer, give the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) instructions to the effect that, upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt from Buyer of a certificate (a “Rule 144 Certificate”) certifying that Buyer’s holding period (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144) for any portion of the Advisory Fee Shares or shares of Common Stock issuable under any Transaction Document which Buyer proposes to sell (or any portion of such shares which Buyer is not presently selling, but for which Buyer desires to remove any restrictive legends applicable thereto) (the “Securities Being Sold”) is not less than six (6) months, and receipt by the Transfer Agent of the “Rule 144 Opinion” (as hereinafter defined) from the Company or its counsel (or from Buyer and its counsel as permitted below), the Transfer Agent is to effect the transfer (or issuance of a new certificate without restrictive legends, if applicable) of the Securities Being Sold and issue to Buyer or transferee(s) thereof one or more stock certificates representing the transferred (or re-issued) Securities Being Sold without any restrictive legend and without recording any restrictions on the transferability of such shares on the Transfer Agent’s books and records. In this regard, upon Buyer’s request, the Company shall have an affirmative obligation to cause its counsel to promptly issue to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion providing that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, the Securities Being Sold may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration statement, or re-issued without any restrictive legends pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration statement (the “Rule 144 Opinion”). If the Transfer Agent requires any additional documentation in connection with any proposed transfer (or re-issuance) by Buyer of any Securities Being Sold, the Company shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent or to any other Person, all such additional documentation as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, all at the Company’s expense. Any and all fees, charges or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Buyer in connection with issuance of any such shares, or the removal of any restrictive legends thereon, or the transfer of any such shares to any assignee of Buyer, shall be paid by the Company, and if not paid by the Company, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, pay any such fees, charges or expenses, and the amount thereof, together with interest thereon at the highest non-usurious rate permitted by law, from the date of outlay, until paid in full, shall be due and payable by the Company to Buyer immediately upon demand therefor, and all such amounts shall be additional Obligations of the company to Buyer secured under the Transaction Documents. In the event that the Company and/or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render the Rule 144 Opinion or any other documents, certificates or instructions required to effectuate the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, then: (A) to the extent the Securities Being Sold could be lawfully transferred (or re-issued) without restrictions under applicable laws, Company’s failure to promptly provide the Rule 144 Opinion or any other documents, certificates or instructions required to effectuate the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof shall be an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents; and (B) the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of effectuating the transfer (or re-issuance) of the Securities Being Sold and the issuance of an unlegended certificate to any such Buyer or any transferee thereof, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, transfer or re-issue any such Securities Being Sold as instructed by Buyer and its counsel.

The parties hereto acknowledge that pursuant to Section 7.4(e) below, the Company has agreed to issue, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, and possibly in the future, certain shares of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4(e) below. In the event, for any reason, the Company fails to issue, or cause its Transfer Agent to issue, any portion of the Common Stock issuable to Buyer under Section 7.4(e), either now or in the future, then the parties hereto acknowledge that Buyer shall irrevocably be entitled to deliver to the Transfer Agent, on behalf of itself and the Company, a written instruction requesting the issuance of the shares of Common Stock then issuable in accordance with Section 7.4(e) below, and the Transfer Agent, provided they are the acting transfer agent for the Company at the time, shall, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue such shares of the Company’s Common Stock as directed by Buyer, and surrender to a nationally recognized overnight courier for delivery to Buyer at the address specified in the Buyer’s notice, a certificate of the Common Stock of the Company, registered in the name of Buyer or its nominee, for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Buyer in accordance with Section 7.4(e).

(iii) Removal of Restrictive Legends. In the event that Buyer has any shares of the Company’s Common Stock bearing any restrictive legends, and Buyer, through its counsel or other representatives, submits to the Transfer Agent any such shares for the removal of the restrictive legends thereon, whether in connection with a sale of such shares pursuant to any exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act, or otherwise, and the Company and or its counsel refuses or fails for any reason to render an opinion of counsel or any other documents or certificates required for the removal of the restrictive legends, then the Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that Buyer is hereby irrevocably and expressly authorized to have counsel to Buyer render any and all opinions and other certificates or instruments which may be required for purposes of removing such restrictive legends, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Transfer Agent to, without any further confirmation or instructions from the Company, issue any such shares without restrictive legends as instructed by Buyer, and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified by Buyer, certificates, registered in the name of Buyer or its designees or nominees, representing the shares of Common Stock to which Buyer is entitled, without any restrictive legends and otherwise freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Buyer and its counsel and its representatives, each as the Company’s duly authorized agent and attorney-in-fact for the Company for the purposes of authorizing and instructing the Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of Buyer, as specifically contemplated herein. The authorization and power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as any obligations of the Company under Debentures remain outstanding, and so long as the Buyer owns or has the right to receive, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder or under any Transaction Documents. In this regard, the Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that it can NOT and will NOT give instructions, including stop orders or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement with regard to the matters contemplated herein, and that the Buyer shall have the absolute right to provide a copy of this Agreement to the Transfer Agent as evidence of the Company’s irrevocable authority for Buyer and Transfer Agent to process issuances, transfers and legend removals upon instructions from Buyer, or any counsel or representatives of Buyer, as specifically contemplated herein, without any further instructions, orders or confirmations from the Company.

(v) Injunction and Specific Performance. The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any provision of this Section 7.2(j), the Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section 7.2(j) by the Company, the Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other rights or remedies Buyer may have, at law or in equity, an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Section 7.2(j).

(k) Continued Due Diligence/Field Audits. The Company acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement, Buyer and its agents and representatives undertake ongoing and continuing due diligence reviews of the Company and its business and operations. Such ongoing due diligence reviews may include, and the Company does hereby agree to allow Buyer, to conduct site visits and field examinations of the office locations of the Company and all of its Subsidiaries, and the Assets and records of each of them, the results of which must be satisfactory to Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. In this regard, in order to cover Buyer’s expenses of the ongoing due diligence reviews and any site visits or field examinations which Buyer may undertake from time to time while this Agreement is in effect, the Company shall pay to Buyer, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of an invoice or demand therefor from Buyer, a fee of up to $1,000 per year (based on expected filed audits and ongoing due diligence of $500 semi-annually) to cover such ongoing expenses. The foregoing notwithstanding, from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or any event which with notice, lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, Buyer may conduct site visits, field examinations and other ongoing reviews of the Company’s records, Assets and operations at any time, in its sole discretion, without any limitations in terms of number of site visits or examinations and without being limited to the fee hereby contemplated, all at the sole expense of the Company.

In the event of any Additional Closings, the Company shall pay to Buyer a transaction advisory fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the Debentures purchased by Buyer at any such Additional Closings, which fee shall be due and payable upon such Additional Closing and withheld from the gross purchase price paid by Buyer for the Debentures at such Additional Closing.

All such costs and expenses, if not so immediately paid when due or upon demand thereof, shall bear interest from the date of outlay until paid, at the highest rate set forth in the Debenture, or if none is so stated, the highest rate allowed by law. All of such costs and expenses shall be additional Obligations of the Company to Buyer secured under the Transaction Documents. The provisions of this Subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Advisory Fees.

(i) Share Issuance. In consideration of advisory services provided by Buyer to Company prior to the First Closing Date, the Company shall pay to Buyer a fee equal to $100,000.00 (the “Advisory Fee”). The Advisory Fee shall be initially paid by the issuance to Buyer of restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Advisory Fee Shares”) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section. For purposes of determining the number of shares issuable to Buyer under this Section 7.4(e), the Company’s Common Stock shall be valued at the average of the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the First Closing Date (the “Valuation Date”), as reported by Bloomberg or such other reporting service acceptable to Buyer (the “VWAP”). The Buyer shall confirm to the Company in writing, the VWAP for the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, and the Company shall issue to Buyer, on the Closing Date, a number of Advisory Fee Shares equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Advisory Fee, based on such VWAP as of the Valuation Date. On the First Closing Date, the Company shall instruct its Transfer Agent to issue certificates representing the Advisory Fee Shares issuable to the Buyer hereunder, and shall cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Buyer within five (5) Business Days from the First Closing Date. In the event such certificates representing the Advisory Fee Shares issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Buyer within said five (5) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Advisory Fee Shares, when issued, shall be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Advisory Fee Shares shall be deemed fully earned as of the First Closing Date, regardless of whether any Additional Closings occur hereunder.

(ii) Adjustments. It is the intention of the Company and Buyer that the Buyer shall be able to sell the Advisory Fee Shares and generate net proceeds (net of all brokerage commissions and other fees or charges payable by Buyer in connection with the sale thereof) from such sale equal to the Advisory Fee. In this regard, the Buyer shall have the right to sell the Advisory Fee Shares in the Principal Trading Market, or otherwise, at any time in accordance with applicable securities Laws. Upon : (A) the sale of all Advisory Fee Shares; (B) Buyer receiving net proceeds from the sale of the Advisory Fee Shares equal to the Advisory Fee; or (C) at any time Buyer may elect, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received by the Buyer from the sale of the Advisory Fee Shares (the “Sale Reconciliation”). If, as of the date of the delivery by Buyer of the Sale Reconciliation, the Buyer has not realized and received net proceeds from the sale of the Advisory Fee Shares equal to at least the Advisory Fee, as shown on the Sale Reconciliation, then the Company shall immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Buyer in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds thereof are added to the net proceeds from the sale of any of the previously issued and sold Advisory Fee Shares, the Buyer shall have received total net funds equal to the Advisory Fee. If additional shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and after the sale of such additional issued shares of Common Stock, the Buyer still has not received net proceeds equal to at least the Advisory Fee, then the Company shall again be required to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Buyer as contemplated above, and such additional issuances shall continue until the Buyer has received net proceeds from the sale of such Common Stock equal to the Advisory Fee. In the event the Buyer receives net proceeds from the sale of Advisory Fee Shares equal to the Advisory Fee before Buyer has sold all Advisory Fee Shares issued to Buyer hereunder, then the Buyer shall return all such remaining Advisory Fee Shares to the Company. In the event additional Common Stock is required to be issued as outlined above, the Company shall instruct its Transfer Agent to issue certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock to the Buyer immediately subsequent to the Buyer’s notification to the Company that additional shares of Common Stock are issuable hereunder, and the Company shall in any event cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Buyer within five (5) Business Days following the date Buyer notifies the Company that additional shares of Common Stock are to be issued hereunder. In the event such certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Buyer within said five (5) Business Day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.4(e) to the contrary, at any time on or prior to the maturity date of the Debentures purchased at the First Closing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during such period, to redeem any Advisory Fee Shares then in the Buyer’s possession for an amount payable by the Company to Buyer in U.S. Dollars equal to the Advisory Fee, less any net proceeds received by the Buyer from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares. Upon Buyer’s receipt of such cash payment in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Buyer shall return any then remaining Advisory Fee Shares in its possession back to the Company. In the event the Buyer elects to purchase additional Debentures at Additional Closings as permitted by this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay additional advisory fees to Buyer either in cash or in a similar manner as set forth in this Section 7.4(e) through the issuance of additional Advisory Fee Shares, at Buyer’s sole discretion, in an amount to be determined by Buyer.

(iii) Mandatory Redemption. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Buyer has not realized net proceeds from the sale of Advisory Fee Shares equal to at least the Advisory Fee by the maturity date of the Debentures purchased at the First Closing, then at any time thereafter, the Buyer shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company, to require that the Company redeem (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all Advisory Fee Shares then in Buyer’s possession for U.S. Dollars equal to the Advisory Fee, less any net proceeds received by the Buyer from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any. In the event such redemption notice is given by the Buyer, the Company shall redeem the then remaining Advisory Fee Shares in Buyer’s possession for an amount of U.S. Dollars equal to the Advisory Fee, less any net proceeds received by the Buyer from any previous sales of Advisory Fee Shares, if any, payable by wire transfer to an account designated by Buyer within five (5) Business Days from the date the Buyer delivers such redemption notice to the Company.

(iv) Surviving Obligations. The Borrowers agree and acknowledge that notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, or the payment in full of all of the Company’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents, the Company’s obligations and liability under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Buyer’s lien and security interest on all Collateral, shall survive, shall remain valid and effective and shall not be released or terminated, until the Company has fully complied with all of its obligations with respect to payment of the Advisory Fee, and Buyer has generated and received net proceeds from the sale of the Advisory Fee Shares (or otherwise received equivalent payment thereof in Dollars as permitted hereunder) equal to the Advisory Fee. All of the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.4(e) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(f) Termination; Prepayment. Upon payment in full of all outstanding Debentures purchased hereunder, together with all other charges, fees and costs due and payable under any of the Transaction Documents, the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Buyer (except for such obligations of the Company that specifically survive termination hereunder), without premium or penalty.

7.5 Share Reserve. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares and Advisory Fee Shares under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Share Reserve”). The Company represents that it has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to create the Share Reserve after considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of Common Stock. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of the Debentures and issuance of all Advisory Fee Shares that may be issuable hereunder. If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Debentures and issuance of all Advisory Fee Shares that may be issuable hereunder, the Company shall take all required measures to implement an increase of the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within twenty (20) Business Days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock authorized.

7.6 Documents to be Executed by any Subsidiary following the First Closing Date. Within ten (10) days of any entity becoming a Subsidiary of the Company, such Subsidiary shall execute or cause to be executed and delivered to Buyer all of the following documents, each of which must be satisfactory to Buyer and Buyer’s counsel in form, substance and execution:

(a) Consent and Agreement. One (1) original of a Consent and Agreement duly executed by such Subsidiary, pursuant to which such Subsidiary consents and agrees to become a “Subsidiary” hereunder and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Sub Security Agreement, and all other applicable Transaction Documents;

(b) The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that any of such representations and warranties are already qualified as to materiality in Article VI above, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects without further qualification) as of the date when made and as of the Additional Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Additional Closing Date.

(d) No default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, and no event shall have occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default or an Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

(e) The Company shall have executed such other agreements, certificates, confirmations or resolutions as the Buyer may require to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including a closing statement and joint disbursement instructions as may be required by Buyer.

ARTICLE X

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

10.1 Events of Default. The Company, without notice or demand of any kind, shall be in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”):

(a) Nonpayment of Obligations. Any amount due and owing on the Debentures, whether by its terms, acceleration, or otherwise, is not paid on the date such amount is due, or any other payment Obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the payments and amounts due under the Debentures) is not paid within ten (10) days from the date such payment Obligation is due.

(b) Misrepresentation. Any written warranty, representation, certificate or statement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement with Buyer shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made.

(c) Nonperformance. Any failure to perform or default in the performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement (not otherwise addressed in this Article X), which failure to perform or default in performance continues for a period of fifteen (15) days after the Company receives notice or knowledge from any source of such failure to perform or default in performance (provided that if the failure to perform or default in performance is not capable of being cured, in Buyer’s sole discretion, then the cure period set forth herein shall not be applicable and the failure or default shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder).

(d) Default under Transaction Documents. Any failure to perform or default in the performance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that continues after applicable grace and cure periods under any covenant, condition or agreement contained in any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreement with Buyer, all of which covenants, conditions and agreements are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by express reference.

(e) Default under Other Obligations. Any default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the payment of principal, interest or any other sum for any other material obligation beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto, or in the performance of any other term, condition or covenant contained in any other agreement, the effect of which default is to cause or permit the holder of such obligation (or the other party to such other agreement) to cause such obligation or agreement to become due prior to its stated maturity, to terminate such other agreement, or to otherwise modify or adversely affect such obligation or agreement, the consequences of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Assignment for Creditors. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or if a trustee of any substantial part of the Collateral is applied for or appointed, and in the case of such trustee being appointed in a proceeding brought against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company or applicable Subsidiary, by any action or failure to act indicates its approval of, consent to, or acquiescence in such appointment and such appointment is not vacated, stayed on appeal or otherwise shall not have ceased to continue in effect within sixty (60) days after the date of such appointment.

(g) Bankruptcy. Any proceeding involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is commenced by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of the federal government or any state government, and in the case of any such proceeding being instituted against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries: (i) the Company or applicable Subsidiary, by any action or failure to act, indicates its approval of, consent to or acquiescence therein; or (ii) an order shall be entered approving the petition in such proceedings and such order is not vacated, stayed on appeal or otherwise shall not have ceased to continue in effect within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof.

(h) Judgments. The entry of any judgment, decree, levy, attachment, garnishment or other process, or the filing of any Encumbrance against portion of the Collateral for an amount in excess of $50,000 and such judgment or other process would have a Material Adverse Effect, unless such judgment or other process shall have been, within sixty (60) days from the entry thereof: (i) bonded over to the satisfaction of Buyer and appealed; (ii) vacated; or (iii) discharged.

(i) Material Adverse Effect. A Material Adverse Effect shall occur.

(j) Change in Control. Except as permitted under this Agreement, any Change in Control shall occur; provided, however, a Change in Control shall not constitute an Event of Default if: (i) it arises out of an event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the Company (for example, but not by way of limitation, a transfer of ownership interest due to death or incapacity); and (ii) within sixty (60) days after such Change in Control, the Company provides Buyer with information concerning the identity and qualifications of the individual or individuals who will be in control, and such individual or individuals shall be acceptable to Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion.

(k) Collateral Impairment. The entry of any judgment, decree, levy, attachment, garnishment or other process, or the filing of any Encumbrance against, any of the Collateral or any collateral under a separate security agreement securing any of the Company’s Obligations, and such judgment or other process shall not have been, within thirty (30) days from the entry thereof: (i) bonded over to the satisfaction of Buyer and appealed; (ii) vacated; or (iii) discharged, or the loss, theft, destruction, seizure or forfeiture, or the occurrence of any material deterioration or impairment of any of the Collateral or any of the Collateral under any security agreement securing any of the Company’s Obligations, or any material decline or depreciation in the value or market price thereof. The cause of such deterioration, impairment, decline or depreciation shall include, but is not limited to, the failure by the Company and its Subsidiaries to do any act deemed reasonably necessary by Buyer to preserve and maintain the value and collectability of the Collateral.

10.2 Rights and Remedies.

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) relating to any of the Company’s Obligations, or any security therefor, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer may, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to the Company to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Section 10.1(f) or Section 10.1(g), all commitments of Buyer to the Company shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of Buyer. The Company hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Buyer’s rights under the Transaction Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of the Company or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Transaction Documents to the contrary.

(b) No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by Buyer, except and unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Buyer. No failure or delay on the part of Buyer in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of Buyer to exercise any remedy available to Buyer in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. The Company agrees that in the event that the Company fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to Buyer, and further agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

ARTICLE XI

In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to defend and indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, and the successors and assigns of each of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) and Company does hereby agree to hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties forever harmless, from and against any and all Claims made, brought or asserted against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, and Company hereby agrees to pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all Claims payable by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties to any Person, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses, court costs, settlement amounts, costs of investigation and interest thereon from the time such amounts are due at the highest non-usurious rate of interest permitted by applicable Law, through all negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, trial and appellate levels, as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to: (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or Obligation of the Company or its subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (iii) any Claims brought or made against the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or any one of them, by a third party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other instrument, document or agreement executed pursuant hereto or thereto, any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Debentures, or the status of the Buyer or holder of any of the Securities, as a buyer and holder of such Securities in the Company. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Claims covered hereby, which is permissible under applicable Law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations of the Company and the termination of this Agreement.

11.2 Release. In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants made herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and each Subsidiary hereby agrees to fully, finally and forever release and forever discharge and covenant not to sue Buyer, and/or and its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, and their respective attorneys, officers, directors, agents, shareholders, members, employees, predecessors, successors, assigns, personal representatives, partners, heirs and executors from any and all debts, fees, attorneys’ fees, liens, costs, expenses, damages, sums of money, accounts, bonds, bills, covenants, promises, judgments, charges, demands, claims, causes of action, suits, liabilities, expenses, obligations or contracts of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or in equity, whether asserted or unasserted, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, under statute or otherwise, from the beginning of time through the First Closing Date, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all Claims relating to or arising out of any financing transactions, credit facilities, debentures, security agreements, and other agreements including, without limitation, each of the Transaction Documents, entered into by the Company, and any of its Subsidiaries with Buyer and any and all claims that the Company does not know or suspect to exist, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect their decision to enter into this Agreement or the related Transaction Documents. The provisions of this Section shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations of the Company and the termination of this Agreement.
