Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit or license applicable to the Company.

Section 3.02.    Representations and Warranties of the Holders. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that the following statements are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof:

(a)    Organization. The Holder is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and in the places where such properties are now owned, operated and leased or such business is now being conducted.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by the Holder of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part. This Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

The execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement do not and will not require any registration or filing with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state or other governmental authority or regulatory body, but for that required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority monitored regulations.

(e)    Ownership of the Note. The Holder is the beneficial owner of its Notes, free and clear of all liens (other than obligations pursuant to this Agreement).

(f)    Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, except in compliance with the Securities Act. The Holder understands that the Shares issued to it may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder.

(g)    Investment Experience. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares. The Holder is either a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares. The Holder has previously invested in securities similar to the Shares. In making its decision to invest in the Shares, the Holder has relied upon independent investigations made by the Holder and, to the extent believed by the Holder to be appropriate, the Holder’s representatives, including the Holder’s own professional, tax and other advisors. The Holder and its representatives have been given the opportunity to examine documents and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and its representatives concerning the terms and conditions of its investment in the Shares. The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and is presently able to afford the complete loss of such investment. The Holder acknowledges that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties in the offering of the Shares to the Holder without first having registered the Shares under the Securities Act.

(h)    Restricted Securities. It has been advised by the Company that (i) the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the offer and sale of the Shares are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to either Rule 144A or Regulation D under the Securities Act; and (iii) there is no established market for the Shares, and it is not anticipated that there will be any active public market for the Shares in the foreseeable future. The Holder is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

Section 4.01.    Holder’s Conditions to Closing. The obligations of each Holder to complete the Exchange shall be subject to the following conditions: (a) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing as though made on and as of the Closing Date, (b) the Company shall have performed all of its obligations and covenants under this Agreement, (c) no decision, order or similar ruling shall have been issued (and remain in effect) restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (d) from the date hereof to the date of Closing, there shall not have occurred any change, event, occurrence, fact condition, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect upon the business, assets, operations, properties, financial position, results of operations, prospects or liabilities of the Company or any adverse effect upon the consummation of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

delivered its original Notes to the Company for cancellation, (c) the Holder shall have performed all of its obligations and covenants under this Agreement, (d) no decision, order or similar ruling shall have been issued (and remain in effect) restraining or enjoining the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (e) from the date hereof to the date of Closing, there shall not have occurred any change, event, occurrence, fact condition, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or is reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect upon the business, assets, operations, properties, financial position, results of operations, prospects or liabilities of the Company or any adverse effect upon the consummation of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a)    any significant inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties given by the Holder herein; or

(b)    the nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, undertaking, agreement or other obligation of the Holder contained herein.

Section 5.02.    Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Holder Indemnified Persons harmless from any and all Losses (including Taxes) that the Holder Indemnified Person may incur due to:

(a)    A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) shall notify promptly the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced thereby. In case any claim, action or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party and the

Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein and to assume the defense thereof, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party that it so chooses, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) calendar days after receiving notice from such Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes it has failed to do so, or (ii) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any claim or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction), and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any expenses therefor.

(b)    No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party and (iii) does not include any injunctive or other non-monetary relief to the detriment of the Indemnified Party.

Section 5.05.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no reimbursement for Losses asserted against Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be required unless and until the cumulative aggregate amount of such Losses equals or exceeds $25,000, and then from the first dollar of such Losses, as determined up to a maximum of such amount that is equal to the aggregate Stated Value of the Shares.
