REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

4.1 Accredited Investor.

In accordance therewith and in furtherance thereof, such Purchaser represents and warrants to and agrees with the Company that it is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act).

Such Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities to be purchased hereunder by such Purchaser for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution, and with no present intention of distributing such Securities or selling such Securities for distribution. Such Purchaser understands that such Securities are being sold to such Purchaser in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, such Purchaser acknowledges that it has been advised that such Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being sold by the Company in reliance upon the veracity of such Purchaser's representations contained herein and upon the exemption from the registration requirements provided by the Securities Act and the securities laws of all applicable states. Such Purchaser's acquisition of such Securities shall constitute a confirmation of the foregoing representation and warranty and understanding thereof.

12


business, management and financial affairs of the Company in order to evaluate the merits and risks of making this investment. Further, such Purchaser acknowledges that such Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the officers of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this investment and to obtain information relating to the organization, operation and business of the Company and of the Company's contracts, agreements and obligations or needed to verify the accuracy of any information contained herein or any other information about the Company.

(g) if any of the Company or its subsidiaries shall default in the observance or performance of any term or provision of an agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound, which default will have a Material Adverse Effect and such default is not waived or cured within the applicable grace period provided for in such agreement;

(h) if a final judgment which, either alone or together with other outstanding final judgments against the Company and its subsidiaries, exceeds an aggregate of $250,000 shall be rendered against the Company or any subsidiary and such judgment shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for thirty-five (35) days after entry thereof; or

(i) if the Company or any subsidiary shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts; or if the Company or any subsidiary shall suffer a receiver or trustee for it or substantially all of its assets to be appointed, and, if appointed without its consent, not to be discharged or stayed within ninety (90) days; or if the Company or any subsidiary shall suffer proceedings under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or the reorganization or relief of debtors to be instituted by or against it, and, if contested by it, not to be dismissed or stayed within ninety (90) days; or if the Company or any subsidiary shall suffer any writ of attachment or execution or any similar process to be issued or levied against it or any significant part of its property which is not

9.2 Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Majority Holders may at any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been remedied) at their option, by written notice or notices to the Company (i) declare the Debentures to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; and (ii) declare any other amounts payable to the Purchasers under this Agreement or as contemplated hereby due and payable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.2(a), in the event that at any time after the principal of the Debentures shall so become due and payable and prior to the date of maturity stated in the Debentures all arrears of principal of and interest on the Debentures (with interest at the rate specified in the Debentures on any overdue principal and, to the extent legally enforceable, on any interest overdue) shall be paid by or for the account of the Company, then the Majority Holders, by written notice or notices to the Company, may (but shall not be obligated to) waive such Event of Default and its consequences and rescind or annul such declaration, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right resulting therefrom.

(c) Enforcement. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, a Purchaser may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in its Debenture or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. In case of a default in the payment of any principal of or interest on a Debenture, the Company will pay to the applicable Purchaser such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the cost and the expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, expenses and disbursements. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of a Purchaser in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Purchaser's rights. No right conferred hereby or by the Debentures upon the Purchasers shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now available at law in equity, by statute or otherwise.

The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and shall reimburse each Purchaser for, from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of

 

25


attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, "Losses") directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Company contained herein or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered to such Purchaser pursuant hereto.

11.2 Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and shall reimburse the Company for, from and against all Losses directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of such Purchaser contained herein or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered to the Company pursuant hereto.

11.3 Procedure. The indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under Sections 11.1 or 11.2 of this Agreement, and, if such claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the indemnifying party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding.

No such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a firm written offer is made to settle any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding and the indemnifying party proposes to accept such settlement and the indemnified party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the indemnifying party shall be excused from, and the indemnified party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of the indemnifying party relating to such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the indemnified party on such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement.

12.7 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any holder of any Securities upon any breach or default of the Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence, therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury in any such legal proceeding. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby consents to service of process by

Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, 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 by the Transaction Documents.
