Small
Business Matters.
(a)
The
Company acknowledges that St. Cloud Capital Partners, L.P., one of the
Purchasers of the securities being offered hereby (“St. Cloud”) is a federally
licensed Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) under the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958, as amended. Company, together with its “affiliates” (as
that term is defined in 13 C.F.R. Section 121.103), is a “small business
concern” within the meaning of the SBIC Regulations, including 13 C.F.R. Section
121.103. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, Company will have 500 or fewer full-time equivalent employees. The
information regarding Company and its affiliates set forth in the SBA forms
Nos.

of
such forms have been completed and executed by Company and delivered to St.
Cloud at the Closing together with a written statement of Company regarding
its
planned use of the proceeds from the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. The Company does not presently engage in, and it shall

Regulations (including 13 C.F.R. Section 107.720).

providing funds to others, purchasing or discounting debt obligations, factoring

and Company is not classified under Section 53 (Real Estate) of the North
American Industry Classification System manual. The assets of the business
of
Company (the “Business”) will not be reduced or consumed, generally without

Business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the
Business’s financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of
assets.

except where such noncompliance could not be reasonably expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
3.25
Disclosure.
The
Transaction Documents, including the Schedules to this Agreement, as the same
relate to the Company, are true and correct in all material respects and do
not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of
the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; it being understood

relying on, any information constituting a forecast or projection.

limited duration company or limited liability company, as the case may be,
in
such Purchaser’s jurisdictions of organization.

for Own Account.
The
Notes and Warrants hereby acquired by each Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
are being acquired for such Purchaser’s own account, not as nominee or agent,

in
the future decide to dispose of any of such Notes or Warrants or Warrant Shares,
such Purchaser understands and agrees that it may do so only in compliance

circumstances. The Purchaser understands that the Notes and Warrants are being

registration requirements of United States and state securities laws and that
the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s
compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine
the
availability of such exemption and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire
the Notes and Warrants.

Survival
and Indemnification.

Survival.
The
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained
in this Agreement shall expire twelve (12) months after the
Closing.
8.2
Indemnification.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.1, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Purchaser and their respective directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney
fees
and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened
and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such
person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company
under the Transaction Documents, and will reimburse any such person for all
such
amounts as they are incurred by such Person.
8.3
Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
Promptly
after receipt by any person (the “Indemnified
Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might
give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or
investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section
8.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and
the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume
the
payment of all fees and expenses; provided,
however, that
the
failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve
the
Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company
is
materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any
Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the
fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed
to
the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel
to
such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel
would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.
The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person
from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason
of
such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the
Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding
in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person
from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

Violation.
Upon
the occurrence of a Regulatory Violation or in the event that St. Cloud

shall
have the right to the extent required under the SBIC Regulations to demand

immediate repayment of the principal balance of the Note, plus all accrued
interest on the applicable Note, by delivering written notice of such demand

consultants and agents who are required to have the information in order to
carry out the purpose of this Agreement. Each Purchaser also
understands that certain of the Confidential Information may constitute material
non-public information and that trading in the Company’s securities while in
possession of Confidential Information, recommending trading in the Company’s
securities based upon Confidential Information or providing Confidential

criminal liability. Each Purchaser specifically acknowledges that the
Confidential Information is subject to the public disclosure requirements of
Regulation FD promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and that the Company is specifically relying on each Purchaser’s execution of,

the
time of disclosure; (ii) becomes a matter of public knowledge, not as a result
of any inaction or action of the Purchaser; or (iii) was received from a third
