This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to the purchaser identified on the signature page to this Agreement (the “Subscriber”) in connection with its investment in the securities of Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).  The Company is conducting a private placement (the “Offering”) of units (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $0.50 per Unit (the “Purchase Price”) with each Unit consisting of (i) one share (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which is convertible into one (1) share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), with such rights and designations as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Exhibit A, (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”) and (ii) a three year warrant, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant”) to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Securities” shall refer to the Shares, the Common Stock into which the Shares are convertible, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares.

 

Prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company took certain corporate actions, including (i) changing the Company’s name to “Drone Aviation Holding Corp.” from “Macrosolve, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), (ii) changing the state of the Company’s state of incorporation to Nevada from Oklahoma (the “Reincorporation”); (iii) in connection with the Reincorporation, exchanging each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding for shares of Common Stock of the newly formed Nevada entity, which will be formed for purposes of the Reincorporation, on a 50.56186 for one basis, with comparable adjustments to outstanding convertible securities of the Company (the “Reincorporation Exchange” and such ratio, the “Reincorporation Exchange Ratio”) and (iv) changing the number of shares of authorized capital from 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share to 400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Capital Increase and, collectively with the Name Change, the Reincorporation and the Reincorporation Exchange, the “Corporate Actions”).  The Company’s Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting capital have voted in favor of the Corporate Actions and such Corporate Actions will be effective following the approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), at which time a new trading symbol will become effective in connection with the Name Change.  The Transaction Documents (as defined below) reflect the consummation of the Name Change, Reincorporation and all per share and dollar amounts referenced in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents reflect the anticipated Reincorporation Exchange.

1.           SUBSCRIPTION AND PURCHASE PRICE

 

(a)           Subscription.  Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units indicated on page 16 hereof on the terms and conditions described herein.

 

(b)           Purchase of Units.  The Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the purchase price to be remitted to the Company in exchange for the Units shall be set at $0.50 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on page 16 hereof (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”), which shall be equivalent to $0.50 per Share, exclusive of the value of the Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, the Aggregate Purchase Price takes into account the Reincorporation Exchange Ratio. The Subscriber’s delivery of this Agreement to the Company shall be accompanied by payment for the Units subscribed for hereunder, payable in United States Dollars, by wire transfer of immediately available funds delivered to Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”) in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in the Escrow Agreement. The Subscriber understands and agrees that, subject to Section 2 and applicable laws, by executing this Agreement, it is entering into a binding agreement.

 

 

(a)           Acceptance. Subject to full, faithful and punctual performance and discharge by the Company of all of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Series E Certificate of Designation, the Warrant and any other agreement entered into between the Subscriber and the Company relating to this subscription (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), the Subscriber shall be legally bound to purchase the Units  pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of the failure by the Company to fully, faithfully and punctually perform and discharge any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, which shall have been performed or otherwise discharged prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Subscriber may, on or prior to the Closing, at its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to purchase the Units  and provide instructions to the Company to receive the full and immediate refund of the Aggregate Purchase Price.  In the event the Closing does not take place because of (i) the election not to purchase the Units  by the Subscriber or (ii) the failure to effectuate the Initial Closing (as defined below) on or prior to June 30, 2014 (unless extended in the discretion of the Board of Directors) for any reason or no reason, this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents shall thereafter be terminated and have no force or effect, and the parties shall take all steps, including the execution of instructions to the Company, to ensure that the Aggregate Purchase Price shall promptly be returned or caused to be returned to the Subscriber without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

 

 

 

(b)           Closing.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at such time and place as determined by the Company and may take place in one of more closings.  Closings shall take place on a Business Day promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 below, as determined by the Company (the “Closing Date”). “Business Day” shall mean from the hours of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) through 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed. The Shares and the Warrants purchased by the Subscriber will be delivered by the Company promptly following the Final Closing Date (as defined in Section 5(h) below) of the Offering.

(c)           Following Acceptance or Rejection.  The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be held by the Company. In the event that this Agreement is not accepted by the Company for whatever reason, which the Company expressly reserves the right to do, this Agreement, the Aggregate Purchase Price received (without interest thereon) and any other documents delivered in connection herewith will be returned to the Subscriber at the address of the Subscriber as set forth in this Agreement. If this Agreement is accepted by the Company, the Company is entitled to treat the Aggregate Purchase Price received as an interest free loan to the Company until such time as the Subscription is accepted.

 

(d)           Favored Nations Provision.  For a period of twenty-four  (24) months from the Final Closing Date, other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the stockholders and a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of this Agreement, (iv) the Company’s issuance of securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date,  (v) an issuance by the Company of securities resulting from the exercise of Warrants or conversion of the Shares, (vi) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by a majority in amount of the Shares sold in the Offering held as of the date of approval (“Subscriber Consent”), and (vii) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Company shall  issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.50 per share, being the per share price of the Series E Preferred Stock  hereunder (disregarding any value attributable to the Warrants) or as in effect at such time, without Subscriber Consent (the “Lower Price Issuance”) and other than with regard to Excepted Issuances, then the Company shall issue the Subscriber such number of additional Units to reflect such lower price for the Shares such that the Subscriber shall hold such number of Units, in total, had Subscriber paid a per Unit price equal to the Lower Price Issuance.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 2 are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement, the Series E Certificate of Designation or the Warrants, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.

(e)           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of Units that the Subscriber shall thereafter be entitled to receive (including number of shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares the Subscriber may thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Shares or exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be) shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such conversion or exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price then in effect.

 

 

 

(f)           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in (i) the Shares (ii) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, (iii) the exercise price of the Warrants and/or (iv) the conversion ratio of the Shares, the Company, at its expense, will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Series E Certificate of Designation or the Warrant, as applicable, and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Subscriber.

 

 

Each Subscriber, severally and not jointly, hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:

 

(a)           The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

 

(b)           The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”).  In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

(i)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.

 

(ii)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws, except sales pursuant to a registration statement or sales that are exempted under the Securities Act.

 

(iii)           The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.

 

(iv)           The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.

 

(v)           The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(vi)           The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, and has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

 

(d)           The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment. Among other things, the Subscriber has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC Filings (as defined below) and any additional disclosures in the nature of Risk Factors described herein.

 

 (e)           The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Subscriber or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

 

 

(f)           No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with the Offering, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the Units the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

 

(g)           The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(h)           The Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company, such Securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

 

“[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

(j)           Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved the Securities or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering. There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Securities.

 

(k)           The Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.

 

 

1. (l)           (i)           In making the decision to invest in the Securities the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Transaction Documents.  To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Securities hereunder.  The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Securities other than the Transaction Documents.

(o)           The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by the Company to the Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

(b)           Issuance of Securities.  The Securities to be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(c)           Authorization; Enforcement.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not (a) constitute a violation (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both) of any provision of any law or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any court, agency or other governmental authority applicable to the Company, (b) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any person, (c) result in a default (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both) under, acceleration or termination of, or the creation in any party of the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, any agreement, lease, note or other restriction, encumbrance, obligation or liability to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any assets of the Company are subject, (d) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon the assets of the Company, or upon any shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other securities of the Company, (e) conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or (f) invalidate or adversely affect any permit, license, authorization or status used in the conduct of the business of the Company.

All reports and statements required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act have been filed, together with all exhibits required to be filed therewith. The Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, if any (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), are engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the SEC Filings, and the SEC Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

 

(e)           No Financial Advisor.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Subscriber is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)           Capitalization and Additional Issuances.  The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (not including the Securities or any securities issued  in connection with  the Acquisition) are set forth in the Company’s SEC Filings and Schedule I annexed hereto.  Except as set forth in the Company’s SEC Filings and Schedule I annexed hereto, there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  The only officer, director, employee and consultant stock option or stock incentive plan or similar plan currently in effect or contemplated by the Company are described in the Company’s SEC Filings.  There are no outstanding agreements or preemptive or similar rights affecting the Company's Common Stock.

(j)           Investment Company.  The Company is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Units will not be or be an affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

 

(k)           Shell Company Status.  The Company is not and has never been an issuer identified in Rule 144(i)(1) of the Securities Act.  The Company is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(l)           Litigation.  Except as set forth in the SEC Filings, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Common Stock or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors which is outside of the ordinary course of business or individually or in the aggregate material to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  No director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation.  Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.  “Governmental Entity” means any nation, state, county, city, town, village, district, or other political jurisdiction of any nature, federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, or other government, governmental or quasi-governmental authority of any nature (including any governmental agency, branch, department, official, or entity and any court or other tribunal), multi-national organization or body; or body exercising, or entitled to exercise, any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, police, regulatory, or taxing authority or power of any nature or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, including any entity or enterprise owned or controlled by a government or a public international organization or any of the foregoing.  “Principal Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Global Market, The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQX, OTCQB or the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(m)           Employee Relations.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union.  The Company believes that its and its Subsidiaries’ relations with their respective employees are good.  The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary, individually or taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or (iii) the authority or ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform any of their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.

(o)           Indebtedness and Other Contracts.  Except as set forth in the SEC Filings and Schedule I annexed hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, (i) has any outstanding Indebtedness (as defined below), (ii) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument, the violation of which, or default under which, by the other party(ies) to such contract, agreement or instrument could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is in violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Agreement:  (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (including, without limitation, “capital leases” in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, claim, lien, tax, right of first refusal, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto; and (z) “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any Governmental Entity or any department or agency thereof.

(e)           Reservation of Securities.  The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.  In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.

(h)            Non-Public Information.  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, and each Subscriber agrees, and shall direct its agents and counsel not to, request any material non-public information from the Company or any Person acting on its behalf, unless prior thereto such Subscriber shall have executed a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
