As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”), if any, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the Exchange Documents (as defined below) or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into (or entered into) in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than 150% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Exchange Note is convertible at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Exchange Note) assuming a date of conversion as of the date hereof, (y) interest on the Exchange Note shall accrue through the Maturity Date (as defined in the Exchange Note) and will be converted in shares of Common Stock (as defined below) at a conversion price equal to the Alternate Conversion Price assuming a date of conversion as of the date hereof and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Exchange Note set forth in the Exchange Note). Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the Exchange Note the Conversion Shares when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights or Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock.

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 WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
