The Company and the Board of Directors of the Company have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation which is or could become applicable to any Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Acquired Securities and any Purchaser’s ownership of the Acquired Securities.

Section 3.16 Insolvency. The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

Each of the Purchasers hereby represents and warrants, for itself only and not jointly or severally with any other Purchaser, to the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Such Purchaser (a) is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation; (b) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently, or is proposed to be, engaged; and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent such failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is or is to be made a party or to comply with its obligations thereunder. Such Purchaser has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is or is to be made a party.

Section 4.2 Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby (excluding, for purposes of this Section 4.2, the consummation of the Offer and the Merger but including the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of Notes and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants), (a) have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action of such Purchaser, (b) do not contravene the terms of such Purchaser’s governing or organizational documents, and (c) do not violate, conflict with or result in any breach, default or contravention of (or with due notice or lapse of time or both would not result in any breach, default or contravention of), or the creation of any Lien under, any Contractual Obligation to which such Purchaser is party or by which any of its assets are bound or, subject to compliance with the matters addressed in Section 4.3, any Legal Requirement applicable to such Purchaser and (d) do not violate any Orders of any Governmental Authority against, or binding upon, such Purchaser or its assets, except, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which such Purchaser is or will be made a party or to comply with its obligations thereunder.

Section 4.3 Governmental Authorization; Third Party Consents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties hereto, no approval, consent, compliance, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, such Purchaser of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby (excluding, for purposes of this Section 4.3, the consummation of the Offer and the Merger but including the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of Notes and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants), except for (i) compliance with the HSR Act in connection with the issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) compliance with the Exchange Act and other applicable securities laws.

Section 4.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement has been and, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser, the other Transaction Document to which such Purchaser is to be made a party will have been, duly executed and delivered by such Purchaser and this Agreement constitutes and, when executed and delivered by such Purchaser, such other Transaction Document will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

Section 4.5 Acquisition for Own Account. The Acquired Securities to be acquired by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement are being acquired for its own account and with no intention of distributing or reselling such Acquired Securities or any part thereof in any transaction that would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any state of the United States, without prejudice, however, to the rights of such Purchaser at all times (subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Registration Rights Agreements) to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Acquired Securities in a transaction that does not violate the Securities Act under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act. If such Purchaser should in the future decide to dispose of any of such Acquired Securities, such Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so only in compliance with the Transaction Documents, the Registration Rights Agreements and the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws, as then applicable and in effect. Such Purchaser agrees to the imprinting of a legend on certificates representing all of its Acquired Securities to the following effect:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED AS OF APRIL 20, 2008, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER AND THE OTHER PERSONS NAMED THEREIN, AS SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE AMENDED, RESTATED OR MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND ANY TRANSFEREE OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT ARE MAINTAINED WITH THE CORPORATE RECORDS OF THE ISSUER AND ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICES OF THE ISSUER.”

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO (I) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (II) AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

Section 4.6 Restricted Securities. Such Purchaser understands that (i) the Acquired Securities will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Agreement is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, (ii) the reliance of the Company on such exemption is predicated in part on such Purchaser’s representations set forth herein, and (iii) such Acquired Securities must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Acquired Securities, except as provided herein. Such Purchaser acknowledges that no public market now exists for the Notes, and that the Company has given no assurance that a public market will ever exist.

Section 4.7 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no Claims pending or, to the Knowledge of such Purchaser, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or by or before any Governmental Authority against or involving such Purchaser or its assets, which seek to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Transaction Documents by such Purchaser. No Order has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority against such Purchaser purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Transaction Documents by such Purchaser.

 

10


Section 4.8 Broker’s, Finder’s or Similar Fees. There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or similar fees or commissions payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document, based on any agreement, arrangement or understanding with such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Section 4.9 Accredited Investor. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment and is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 4.10 Beneficial Ownership of Voting Stock. As of the date of this Agreement, such Purchaser does not Beneficially Own any Voting Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Voting Stock (excluding any Voting Stock of which such Purchaser may be deemed to have Beneficial Ownership as a result of being party to any Transaction Document or as a result of Beneficial Ownership of Company securities by a director of the Company).

Section 4.11 Availability of Funds. Each Purchaser will have on the Closing Date available capital sufficient to purchase the Notes on the Closing Date. Except as provided in the Transaction Documents, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to such Purchaser’s funding of the purchase of the Notes.

Section 4.12 No Other Representations. Except for the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III, each Purchaser acknowledges that neither Company nor any other Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or regarding any other information provided to any Purchaser.

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 5.1 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds of the issuance of Notes for the purpose of financing the Offer and the Merger. The Company shall use any proceeds remaining after such use for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Section 5.2 Public Information; Registration Rights. Following the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make publicly available such information as is required by Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, for so long as is necessary to permit the resale by the Purchasers pursuant to Rule 144 of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. If such resale of such Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 by the Purchasers is not possible due to the Company’s failure to comply with the preceding sentence, upon the written request of the Purchasers, (a) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement relating to the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (the “Registration Statement”) within 120 days after receipt of such request and (ii) have such Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than 180 days after such request and (b) the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into a customary registration rights agreement (a “Registration Rights Agreement”) governing the preparation and filing of such Registration Statement, sales of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares thereunder and including customary blackout periods and customary indemnification provisions. Additionally, the Company and FP agree (a) that the Company shall (i) file a registration statement relating to the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares held by FP (the “Affiliate Registration Statement”) within 120 days after Closing Date, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Affiliate Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter but in any event no later than the expiration of the Lock-up Period and (b) prior to the Closing Date, to enter into a registration rights agreement (also a “Registration Rights Agreement”) on terms substantially similar to Sections

 

11


1 and 3 of the Company’s Investor Rights Agreement dated June 22, 2006 (including the term in the Investor Rights Agreement that the Company shall not be required to file the Affiliate Registration Statement, have it declared effective or make it available for use during any period when the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3). For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Company to comply with its obligations in this Section 5.2 shall not give rise to the acceleration of the Notes, either automatically or at the option of any holder of the Notes, and, notwithstanding Section 6.1(b), shall not be a condition to closing under this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Lock-Up. Each Purchaser agrees, on a several and not joint basis, that for a period of 180 days from the Closing Date, (the “Lock-up Period”), such Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) offer for sale, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or sell or grant options, rights or warrants with respect to any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.3 shall not restrict any Purchaser or any Permitted Transferee of such Purchaser (x) from Transferring any Restricted Securities pursuant to a merger of the Company with any other Person, a tender offer or exchange offer for any and all shares of Common Stock or other similar transaction, provided that such merger, offer or transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (y) Transferring any Restricted Securities or any of the economic benefit or risks of ownership thereof to any Permitted Transferee of such Person, provided, however, that it shall be a condition to any Transfer pursuant to this clause (y) that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities (but only the Restricted Securities or any of the economic benefit or risks of ownership thereof) subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and other than to return the Restricted Securities to the former ownership, there shall be no further Transfer of the Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall restrict the transfer of any securities owned by a director of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Purchasers from purchasing or otherwise acquiring shares of Common Stock, subject to compliance with applicable law, after the date hereof (any shares so acquired after the date hereof other than Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, “Additional Shares”) and (ii) during the Lock-up Period, each Purchaser shall be permitted to Transfer shares of Common Stock or the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such shares, so long as the number of shares of Common Stock so Transferred (directly or on an share-equivalent basis by the transfer of the economic benefits or risks of ownership) is not greater than the excess of the aggregate number of Additional Shares purchased by such Purchaser over the number of shares of Common Stock previously Transferred pursuant to this sentence.

Section 5.4 Removal of Legend. The legend described in Section 4.5 shall be removed and the Company shall issue, or shall cause its transfer agent to issue, a certificate without such legend to the holder of Acquired Securities upon which it is stamped (or, in the case of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled to the holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian system), if (i) such Acquired Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of a law firm reasonably acceptable to the Company, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of such Acquired Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.

Section 5.5 Adjustments. The Company shall not take any action between the date hereof and the Closing which would, if taken after the issuance of the Notes, result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes or the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants) or number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2 of the Warrants, unless the parties hereto shall have amended this Agreement (including the form of Notes and Warrants) as mutually agreed to provide for an appropriate adjustment to the initial Conversion Price of the Notes and the initial Exercise Price of the Warrants, nor shall the Company take any action between the date hereof and the Closing which would, if taken after the issuance of the

 

12


Notes and the Warrants, result in an issuance of rights, options or warrants or the payment of dividends or distribution of cash or other assets pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes or Section 2 of the Warrants.

(a) at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, by mutual written consent of each of the Purchasers and the Company;

(b) at the election of all of the Purchasers or the Company after the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;

(c) upon any bona fide termination of the Merger Agreement not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding obligations under this Agreement;

(e) at the election of all of the Purchasers or the Company in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order, or taken any other action, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document or any Registration Rights Agreement, and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

In the event of termination pursuant to this Section 7.1, the party or parties so terminating the Agreement shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the obligations set forth in Section 3.11 or Section 4.8 (Brokers), this Section 7.2 and ARTICLE VIII, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and except that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any prior willful and material breach of this Agreement or for fraud.

 

14


Section 7.3 Remedies. The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of any party to pursue damages for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Each party acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the other parties and that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each party therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the other parties shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach or to an order for specific performance, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company and the Purchasers hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in state of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 8.11 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 8.2 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PURCHASERS AND THE COMPANY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO, AND AGREE NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 8.4 Waiver. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in one or more instances, shall be valid unless in writing, and no such waiver shall be deemed to be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the same or similar nature.
