The execution and delivery of this Amendment by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the performance by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries of its obligations hereunder and the consummation by each of the Company and its Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes (as amended hereby) and the Warrants (as amended hereby) will not (i) result in a violation of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a breach or default (or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, constitutes or would constitute a breach or default) under, or give to others any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or other remedy with respect to, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market)
11
applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected. None of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency, the Principal Market or any other regulatory or self-regulatory authority in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Amendment in accordance with the terms hereof, or under the Notes (as amended hereby) or the Warrants (as mended hereby), including, the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms of the Notes (as amended hereby) and the Warrants (as amended hereby).

Other than the Accounts Payable Default, there exists no Triggering Event, Event of Default or breach or failure to comply by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any of the Transaction Documents, or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both and without being cured, constitutes or would constitute such a Triggering Event, Event of Default or breach or failure.
9. Representation and Warranties of the Buyers. Each of the Buyers represents and warrants to the Company that (a) such Buyer is a validly existing corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity and has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability or other organizational power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Amendment, and (b) this Amendment has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and is a valid and binding agreement of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms.
10. Avoidance of Doubt. The parties hereto hereby agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that the terms Notes and Warrants as used in the Transaction Documents shall mean the Notes and the Warrants as amended by this Amendment, and each of the parties hereto agrees not to take any contrary positions.
11. Independent Nature of the Buyers. The obligations of each of the Buyers hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other, and none of the Buyers shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any of the other Buyers hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents. Each of the Buyers shall be responsible only for its own agreements and covenants hereunder and under the Transaction Documents. The decision of each of the Buyers to enter into this Amendment has been made by such party independently of any of the other Buyers and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any of the other Buyers or by any agent or employee of any of the other Buyers, and none of the Buyers nor any of their respective agents or employees shall have any liability to any of the other Buyers (or any other person or entity) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any of the Transaction Documents, and no action taken by any of the Buyers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute any of the Buyers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any of the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
12
obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Buyers shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Amendment, the Notes, the Warrants and the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any of the other Buyers to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The successors and assigns of such entities shall include their respective receivers, trustees or debtors-in-possession.
13. Further Assurances. The Company hereby agrees from time to time, as and when requested by any Buyer, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including financing statements, secretarys certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as such Buyer may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Amendment and the Transaction Documents.
14. Rules of Construction. All words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the use of the word including in this Amendment shall be by way of example rather than limitation.
15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; July Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees 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. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Amendment and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
13
16. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
17. Merger. This Amendment and the Transaction Documents, as amended hereby, represent the final agreement of each of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or prior or subsequent oral agreements, among any of the parties hereto.
18. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. In the event that any signature to this Amendment or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file to deliver a signature to this Amendment or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
19. Section Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
20. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Amendment will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
21. Ratification by Guarantors. By execution hereof, each of the Subsidiaries hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed this Amendment and hereby ratifies and confirms its respective obligations under the Transaction Documents, in each case as amended hereby.
