5.3                                 Investment Experience.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters and in private placement transactions of companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase contemplated hereby.

 

5.4                                 Disclosure of Information.  The Purchaser has had an opportunity to receive documents related to the Company and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and has received and read the SEC Filings filed via EDGAR.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by the Purchaser shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made pursuant to this Agreement.

 

5.5                                 Restricted Securities.  The Purchaser understands that the Securities (and, when issued, the Additional Securities) are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable state laws and regulations

 

12



 

such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

5.6                                 Legends.  It is understood that, until registration for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or until sales under Rule 144(k) are permitted, certificates evidencing the Securities (and Additional Securities, as applicable) may bear one or all of the following legends or legends substantially similar thereto:

 

(a)                                  “The shares represented by this certificate may not be transferred without (i) the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the corporation that such transfer may lawfully be made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or qualification under applicable state securities laws; or (ii) such registration or qualification.”

 

(b)                                 If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance of sale of the Securities, the legend required by such state authority.

 

Upon registration for resale pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or upon Rule 144(k) under the 1933 Act becoming available, the Company shall promptly cause certificates evidencing the Unit Shares, Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares previously issued to be replaced with certificates which do not bear such restrictive legends, and all Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares subsequently issued shall not bear such restrictive legends and each Purchaser will certify to the Company that it will thereafter sell the Common Stock evidenced by such unlegended certificates only pursuant to the Prospectus (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) as permitted under the Registration Rights Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144(k).

 

5.7                                 Accredited Investor.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the 1933 Act.

 

5.8                                 No General Solicitation.  The Purchaser did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any public advertising or general solicitation.

 

5.9                                 No Shorting.  Neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates and investment partners has, directly or indirectly, engaged in “short sales” of the Company’s Common Stock or any hedging strategies.  Each Purchaser agrees that on any business day prior to the time such Purchaser no longer holds any Unit Shares, such Purchaser shall not maintain a Net Short Position.  For purposes hereof, “Net Short Position” shall mean circumstances in which the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held in a short position by such Purchaser exceeds the sum of the number of Unit Shares and the number of Underlying Shares and Warrant Shares then issuable (without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise) to such Purchaser.

 

6.                                       Security Agreement.     As security for the payment and performance of the Notes, the Company shall execute a Security Agreement and financing statement in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit E, granting to the Purchasers collectively, a first lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company.  The Company shall deliver such property and execute such additional documents agreements and forms as may be required from time to time to perfect and

 

13



 

to maintain such lien and security interest on behalf of the Purchasers, and the Company hereby designates the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact to execute any such documents, agreements or forms.

7.2                                 Obligation to Issue Additional Securities.     In the event that the Company does not achieve the Milestone, and conditioned upon and following the date of Shareholder Approval, (i) the Company shall issue to each Purchaser, for each Unit purchased by such Purchaser, an additional 9,058 shares of Common Stock and an additional 11,113 Warrants; and (ii) the Conversion Price with respect to the Notes and the Warrant Price with respect to the Warrants, shall be reset in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Warrants.

 

7.3                                 Reservation of Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion of Notes and Exercise of Warrants.     The Company hereby agrees at all times to reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the full conversion of Notes (including payment of interest thereon) and the exercise of the Warrants, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall equal the number of shares sufficient to permit the full conversion of Notes (including payment of interest thereon) and to permit the full exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

 

7.4                                 Press Releases.     Any press release or other publicity originating from the Company concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be submitted to the Collateral Agentfor comment one business day prior to issuance.

7.5                                 No Conflicting Agreements.     The Company will not, without obtaining prior approval from the Required Holders, take any action, enter into any agreement or make any commitment that would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the obligations to the Purchasers under the Agreements.

 

14



 

7.6                                 Insurance.     For so long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any of the Securities, the Company shall have in full force and effect (a) insurance reasonably believed by the Company to be adequate on all assets and activities, covering property damage and loss of income by fire or other casualty, and (b) insurance reasonably believed to be adequate protection against all liabilities, claims and risks against which it is customary for companies similarly situated as the Company to insure (other than key man insurance).

 

7.7                                 Compliance with Laws.     So long as the Purchasers beneficially own any Securities, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders and decrees of all governmental authorities, except to the extent non-compliance (in one instance or in the aggregate) would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

7.8                                 Corporate Existence.     So long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence, except in the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets so long as the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (a) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith, regardless of whether or not the Company would have had a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance in order to fulfill its obligations hereunder and effect the conversion (including payment on) and exercise in full of all Notes and Warrants outstanding as of the date of such transaction; (b) has no legal, contractual or other restrictions on its ability to perform the obligations of the Company hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith; and (c)(i) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock and the shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion and exercise of the Notes and Warrants are (or would be upon issuance thereof) listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market, New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or (ii) if not such a publicly traded corporation, then the buyer agrees that it will, at the election of the Purchasers, purchase such Purchasers’ Securities at a price equal to the greater of (a) 120% of the Purchase Price of such Securities or (b) the fair market value of such Securities on an as-converted and as-exercised basis based on the closing price immediately preceding such transaction or the redemption date, whichever is greater.

 

7.9                                 Nonpublic Information.     On or before the 5th business day following the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K (or include in its upcoming filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K due March 30, 2004) with the SEC describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and including as exhibits to such report this Agreement, the form of the Notes, the form of Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Security Agreement in the form required by the 1934 Act (with such exhibits, a “Required Report”).  Upon the filing of the Required Report with the SEC, to the knowledge of the Company, no Purchaser shall be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Form 8-K.  The Company shall not, and shall not knowingly cause any of its officers, directors, employees and agents, to provide any Purchaser with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company from and after the filing of the Required Report with the SEC without the express written consent of such recipient.

(a)                                  Confidentiality.     The Purchaser agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Company, unless expressly agreed to by the Company or unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such requirement.

 

(b)                                 Non-Public Information.     The Purchaser agrees not to effect any purchases or sales in the shares of the Company’s Common Stock while in possession of material, non-public information regarding the Company if such sales would violate applicable securities law.
