The Shareholders are the record and beneficial owner of the number of Company Shares set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A.
B.
Immediately following the effective time of the Initial Closing and contingent only upon the occurrence of such Initial Closing, the Parent shall consummate the private placement of sale of up to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) of principal amount of five-year, 8% convertible promissory notes of the Parent (“Note” or “Notes”), convertible into shares of the common stock of the Parent, $.001 par value per share (“Parent Common Stock”) at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, for the minimum gross proceeds of $500,000 and the maximum gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000, as contemplated by hereof (the “Financing”).
C.

Termination.
(a)
Termination of Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:
(i)
The Company and the Parent may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Initial Closing;
(ii)
The Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Company at any time prior to the Initial Closing (A) in the event the Company has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, the Parent has notified the Company of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of twenty days after the notice of breach, or (B) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 2009, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Parent itself breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement); and
(iii)
The Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Parent at any time prior to the Initial Closing (A) in the event the Parent has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, the Company has notified the Parent of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of twenty days after the notice of breach or (B) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 2009, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under hereof (unless the failure results primarily from the Company or the Shareholders themselves breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).
(iv)
The Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Parent at any time prior to the Initial Closing because of information disclosed to the Company or discovered by the Company in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b)
Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party to consummate its obligations hereunder or to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for any liability of any Party then in breach.
(c)
Fees For Termination. The Parties acknowledge that Parent has advanced funds to the Company and may continue, at its sole option, to do so up through the Initial Closing Date (“Parent Advances”). If either the Company terminates this Agreement based on a breach of this Agreement by Parent or the Parent terminates this Agreement for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the Company, the Company shall be released from all obligations to repay the Parent Advances and the Parent shall otherwise reimburse the Company for all of the Company’s out-of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, including the Company’s fees and expenses for a non-audit accounting firm to review the Company’s books and records, prepare Company financial statements for audit and otherwise ready the Company for an audit of its financial statements, and for an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of Parent. If the Parent terminates this Agreement based on a breach of this Agreement by the Company or the Shareholders or if the Company or the Shareholders terminate this Agreement for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the Parent, then the Company shall immediately repay all Parent Advances.
SECTION 9.4
Replacement of Securities
. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Parent Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Parent Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Parent Shares is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Parent may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
SECTION 9.5
Remedies
. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Shareholders, Parent and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under this Agreement. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
SECTION 9.6
Independent Nature of Shareholders’ Obligations and Rights
. The obligations of each Shareholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Shareholder, and no Shareholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Shareholder under this Agreement. The decision of each Shareholder to acquire Parent Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Shareholder independently of any other Shareholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Shareholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Shareholder as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Shareholder is in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Shareholder acknowledges that no other Shareholder has acted as agent for such Shareholder in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Shareholder will be acting as agent of such Shareholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Parent Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Shareholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Shareholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each of the Company and Parent acknowledge that the Shareholders have been provided with this same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Shareholders and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Shareholder.
SECTION 9.7
Interpretation
. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.
SECTION 9.8
Severability
. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
SECTION 9.9
Counterparts; Facsimile Execution
. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. Facsimile execution and delivery of this Agreement is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.
SECTION 9.10
Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries
. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) are not intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.
SECTION 9.11
Governing Law
. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (i) that it is and shall continue to be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and (ii)(A) to the extent that such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process and notify the other parties hereto of the name and address of such agent, and (B) to the fullest extent permitted by law, that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the U.S. Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service, and that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, service made pursuant to (ii)(A) or (B) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware.
SECTION 9.12
Assignment
. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
