Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference (the "Schedule of Exceptions"),
the Company makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchasers
as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. As used in this Section 3, the
term "Company" shall mean and include the Company itself and its majority owned
subsidiaries taken as a whole. The following representations and warranties
shall only be modified by Exhibit C to the extent such Exhibit specifically
references the representation or warranty to be modified.
3.1 Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and
operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted
and as currently proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified and
authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, in
each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities and of its properties (both
owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary except where the failure to
be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section
3.6). The Company has delivered to the Purchasers or their representatives, or
given such parties access to, true and correct copies of the (i) Articles of
Incorporation and the Bylaws or Operating Agreements, as the case may be, as in
effect as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, and (ii) the ledgers and
minute books, in each case, of the Company and each of its subsidiaries.
3.2 Capitalization. The authorized capital of the Company,
immediately prior to the Closing Date, will consist of:
(a) Preferred Stock: 5,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value, all of which have been designated Series A Preferred
Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding.
(b) Common Stock: 25,000,000 shares of Class A Voting
Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Class A Common Stock"), of which 14,848,681
shares are issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting
Common Stock, $.01 par value, ("Class
2
3
B Common Stock" and together with the Class A Common Stock the "Common Stock"),
of which 3,229,223 shares are issued and outstanding.
All of the outstanding shares of capital stock have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and were issued
in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. As of the
Closing Date, the Company will have duly and validly reserved (i) 3,713,540
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for issuance hereunder, (ii) 3,713,540 shares
of Class A Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock, and (iii) 3,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock for issuance under the
Company's Stock Incentive Plan, pursuant to which 1,077,906 shares of Class B
Common Stock are issued and outstanding, options to purchase 1,646,832 shares
are outstanding, and 275,262 shares remain available for future grant. Except
for the rights described in the preceding sentence as to the Company's Stock
Incentive Plan, the conversion rights associated with the Preferred Stock, the
rights created under this Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement attached
hereto as Exhibit D and incorporated herein by reference (the "Rights
Agreement") and the Shareholder Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E and
incorporated herein by reference (the "Shareholder Agreement"), there are no
outstanding rights of first refusal, preemptive rights or other rights, options,
warrants, conversion rights or other agreements, either directly or indirectly,
for the purchase or acquisition from the Company of any shares of its capital
stock. Except as provided in the Articles, there are no outstanding options,
rights, other securities agreements or other commitments, arrangements or
undertakings pursuant to which the Company is or may become obligated to redeem,
repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of capital stock that are
presently outstanding or may be issued in the future. Attached as Schedule 3.2
hereto is a complete and accurate list of all the Company's outstanding shares,
warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities, and options as of the time
immediately after the Closing Date, and such schedule reflects any dilution and
exercise of preemptive rights triggered by the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Series A Preferred Stock has the rights, preferences and privileges
provided for in the Articles. The Company is not a party or subject to any
agreement or understanding, and, to the Company's knowledge, except as set forth
in the Shareholder Agreement, there is no agreement or understanding between any
persons and/or entities with respect to any of the Company's capital stock,
except as otherwise set forth in any of the Schedule of Exceptions. The shares
of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares will represent,
in the aggregate, approximately 15.66% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
at the Closing Date, and the voting power of such issued shares will represent,
in the aggregate, approximately 20.00% of the total number of votes able to be
cast in any matter by all voting securities of the Company at the Closing Date,
treating for purposes of these calculations all securities convertible into,
exchangeable and exercisable for shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date
hereof, including all shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the
Company's Stock Incentive Plan, as having been converted, exchanged or
exercised, and assuming the closings of the sale of all Shares reserved for
issuance hereunder.
3.3 Subsidiaries. Except for Old Review, Princeton Review
Management, L.L.C., Princeton Review Publishing, L.L.C. (including its wholly
owned Subsidiary, Apply Technology, L.L.C.), Princeton Review Products, L.L.C.
and Princeton Review Operations, L.L.C. the Company does not currently own, have
any investment in, or control, directly or indirectly, any
3
4
other corporation, association, or other business entity. The Company is not,
directly or indirectly, a participant in any joint venture or partnership. Each
subsidiary is duly qualified and authorized to do business, and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation, in each jurisdiction where the nature of its
activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such
qualification necessary. The outstanding shares of capital stock of each such
subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable, and are owned by the Company free and clear of any adverse claim,
and no options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of capital stock or
other ownership interests in such subsidiary are outstanding. The Company owns
one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of Old Review,
Princeton Review Management, L.L.C., Princeton Review Products, L.L.C.,
Princeton Review Operations, L.L.C. and Princeton Review Publishing, L.L.C.
3.4 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the
Company and its officers, directors and shareholders necessary (i) for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Shareholder
Agreement and the Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements"), (ii) the
performance of all the Company's obligations hereunder and thereunder and (iii)
the authorization, issuance, reservation, sale and delivery of the Shares and
the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (the "Underlying
Common Stock") has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes,
and the other Agreements, when duly executed and delivered by the Company will
constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms.
3.5 Validity of the Shares. The sale of the Shares and the
subsequent conversion of the Shares into the Underlying Common Stock will not be
subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other preferential
rights that have not been waived and will not result in the anti-dilution
provisions of any security becoming applicable, and the Shares when issued, sold
and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Underlying
Common Stock when issued upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the
Articles will be validly issued (including, without limitation, issued in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws), fully paid and
nonassessable and will be free of any liens or encumbrances; provided, however,
that the Shares and the Underlying Common Stock may be subject to restrictions
on transfer as set forth herein or in the Rights Agreement or in the Shareholder
Agreement.

3.8 Title to Properties and Assets.
(a) Except as disclosed on the Schedule of Exceptions
with respect to this Section 3.8, the Company has good and marketable title to,
or a valid leasehold interest in, as applicable, all tangible assets reflected
on the balance sheet contained in the Financial Statements or acquired after the
date thereof, free and clear of all liens except statutory liens for the payment
of current taxes that are not yet delinquent and security interests which arise
in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect the properties or
assets of the Company in any material respect and except as to such
imperfections in title as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect
to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in material compliance with
such leases. The tangible assets owned by the Company are in all material
respects in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, and all tangible assets leased by the Company are in all material
respects in the condition required by the terms of the lease applicable thereto
during the terms of such lease and upon the expiration thereof. Such assets,
together with the real property and intellectual property assets, constitute all
the material properties, interests, assets and rights held for use or used in
connection with the business and operations of the Company and constitute all
those necessary to continue to operate the business of the Company in all
material respects consistent with current and historical practice and as
presently contemplated to be conducted. Except as indicated in the preceding
sentence, this Section 3.8(a) does not relate to (i) real property or interests
in real property, or (ii) intellectual property of the Company; such items are
covered under Section 3.8(b) and Section 3.14, respectively.
(b) The Company does not own fee title to any real
property. The Schedule of Exceptions discloses with respect to this Section
3.8(b) a complete list of all real property and interests in real property
leased by the Company identifying properties as either single-tenant buildings
or multi-tenant buildings. The Company or a subsidiary is the sole lessee
thereof and has a good and valid leasehold interest in all real property and
interests in real property shown on Schedule 3.8 to be leased by it free and
clear of all liens. There exists no material default, or any event which upon
notice or the passage of time, or both, would give rise to any material default,
in the performance of the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, by any
lessor under any such lease, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is the
landlord of any such lease in default.
3.9 Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company does not have and, as
a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in the other
Agreements, will not have, any material liabilities or obligations of any nature
(whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unasserted or otherwise and whether due
or to become due) which are required under generally accepted accounting
principles to be disclosed on the Financial Statements and are not so disclosed
or otherwise disclosed in the Schedule of Exceptions with respect to this
Section 3.9, except for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice and which individually do not
exceed $100,000. The reserves, if any, established by the Company or the lack of
reserves, if applicable, are reasonably based upon facts and circumstances known
by the Company on the date hereof and there are no loss contingencies that are
required to be accrued by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board that are not provided for on the
balance sheets contained in the Financial Statements as of the respective dates
thereof.

3.10 Obligations to Related Parties. Except as set forth on
the Schedule of Exceptions, no officer, director, shareholder or employee of the
Company, including any member of their immediate families, is (i) a party to any
transaction with the Company (including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or
personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such officer,
director, shareholder, employee or relative, but excluding wages and benefits),
or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any business or person
that is a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company (except for a passive
investment in less than five percent (5%) of the common stock of any publicly
traded company), nor does any such person receive income from any source other
than the Company that relates to the Company's business or should properly
accrue to the Company.
3.11 Employee Matters, ERISA. The Schedule of Exceptions
contains a complete list of all employment agreements, deferred compensation,
pension or retirement agreements or arrangements, bonus, incentive or
profit-sharing plans or arrangements, or labor or collective bargaining
agreements, written or oral, of the Company that provide any employee of the
Company compensation or benefits in excess of $5,000, and the Company does not
have in effect any consulting agreement, written or oral, that provides any
consultant to the Company compensation in excess of $10,000. The Company has no
knowledge that any officer of the Company presently intends to terminate his
employment. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all
applicable laws and regulations relating to labor, employment, fair employment
practices, terms and conditions of employment, and wages and hours, except where
the failure to so comply would not be reasonably expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining
agreement or other labor union contract and, to the Company's knowledge, there
are no activities or proceeding of any labor union to organize any employees of
the Company. The Company is in material compliance with the terms of all plans,
programs and agreements listed on the Schedule of Exceptions with respect to
this Section 3.11, and each such plan, program or agreement is in compliance in
all material respects with all of the applicable requirements and provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each plan intended
to qualify under Code Section 401(a) and any related trust intended to qualify
for exemption from federal income tax under Code Section 501(a) has received a
favorable determination letter from the IRS or is an adoption of a prototype
plan in respect of which the IRS has issued a favorable opinion letter, and
nothing has occurred since the date of such determination letter that would
materially adversely affect such qualification or tax-exempt status. No
nonexempt prohibited transaction (as defined in Code Section 4975) exists with
respect to any plan listed on the Schedule of Exceptions with respect to this
Section 3.11 which would result in a tax or penalty to be imposed on the Company
that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan has
currently an "accumulated funding deficiency" (as defined in Section 302 of
ERISA), and no reportable event (as defined in Section 4043(d) of ERISA) has
occurred with respect to any such Plan for which the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation notice filing requirements have not been waived. The Company is not
now contributing, nor has it ever contributed, to a "defined benefit pension
plan" (as defined in ERISA Section 3(35)) nor a "multi employer plan" (as
defined in ERISA Section 3(37)). The Company has complied in all material
respects with the continued health plan coverage requirements under part 6 of
Title I of ERISA. With respect to each plan listed on the Schedule of Exceptions
for this Section 3.11, an "employee pension benefit plan" under Section 3(2) of
ERISA, all required filings,
9
10
including all filings required to be made with the United States Department of
Labor and Internal Revenue Service, have been timely filed, except where the
failure to file would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.12 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
violation of any provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or its Bylaws as
amended and in effect on and as of the Closing Date, or of any provisions of any
judgment, decree or order by which it is bound. The execution and delivery by
the Company of the Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and compliance with the terms thereof, and the
issuance and sale of the Shares and the Underlying Common Stock pursuant
thereto, will not breach, conflict with, or result in any violation of or
default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or give rise to
a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the
loss of any benefit under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien
of any nature whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company
under, (a) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed
of trust, license, franchise, lease, contract, commitment, permit, agreement,
understanding, instrument or obligation or other arrangement to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its properties or assets
may be bound or affected, (b) any provision of the Articles, Bylaws or other
constitutive documents of the Company, (c) any judgment, order, writ, injunction
or any decree, or any statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to
the Company or any of its properties or assets except, in the case of
subsections (a) and (c) as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
3.13 Litigation. Except as set forth on the Schedule of
Exceptions with respect to this Section 3.13, there are no suits, actions,
claims, arbitration or other legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings or,
to the knowledge of the Company, investigations, whether at law or in equity, or
before or by any federal, foreign, state or municipal or other governmental
department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality (a) pending or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against or affecting the
Company or any of its properties or assets or (b) to the knowledge of the
Company, pending or threatened by or against any of the officers or employees of
the Company that relate to or involve the termination by such person of his
employment with any of such person's former employers. To the knowledge of the
Company, there is no basis for any such lawsuit, claim, arbitration or other
proceeding or investigation which, if commenced, would reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no outstanding judgment, order or
decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator applicable to the Company or
any of its properties, assets or business. There is no action, proceeding or
investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to
initiate.

and effect for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, except
that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.17 shall survive
until thirty (30) days after the end of the applicable statute of limitations
(taking into account any extensions or waivers thereof) and the representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.5 shall survive indefinitely. At the end
of such survival periods the indemnification obligations of the Company in
Section 7.2 with respect thereto shall expire, except to the extent notice of a
claim pursuant to Section 7.2 has been provided prior to such expiration. Any
claims with respect to the foregoing sentence pursuant to this Section 7 must be
asserted in writing with reasonable particularity by the party making such
claims.
7.2 Indemnification by the Company.
(a) The Company will defend and indemnify each of the
Purchasers and their officers, directors, managers, members, partners,
stockholders, attorneys, representatives, agents, and employees (each, an
"Indemnified Party") against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, all
losses (including any diminution in value of the Shares of Underlying Common
Stock or other securities of the Company hereafter acquired by the Purchasers
under this Agreement or the Agreements), demands, actions, causes of action,
assessments, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including without
limitation, interest, penalties, fines, fees, deficiencies, claims of damage,
reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees and expenses incurred in the
investigation, prosecution, defense or settlement thereof (collectively, the
"Losses") arising out of or based on any breach of any warranty, representation
or covenant set forth in this Agreement or the Agreements, other than any Losses
resulting from any breach of any warranty or representation of the Purchasers
set forth in Section 4 above or any action on the part of such Indemnified Party
that is finally determined in such proceeding to be primarily and directly a
result of such party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Losses hereunder shall be entitled to indemnification
hereunder unless the total of all such Losses exceed $270,000 (the "Basket"), in
which case all such Losses up to $27,000,000, including the first $270,000,
shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder, provided that any Losses with
respect to breaches of Section 3.2 and 3.17 shall not be subject to such Basket,
in which case all such Losses up to $27,000,000, shall be entitled to
indemnification hereunder. The Purchasers agree to reimburse the Company for any
payments made by the Company to the Purchasers pursuant to this paragraph for
Losses that are finally determined in such proceeding to result primarily and
directly from the breach of any warranty of representation of the Purchasers set
forth in Section 4 above or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Purchasers.
(b) In the event the Company pays an amount exceeding
$2,000,000 to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in settlement of his claims or by judgment against
the Company, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, at no cost to the
Purchasers, an additional amount of fully paid and
23
24
nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock sufficient to provide the
Purchasers the number of Shares they would have received at the Closing Date had
the $150,000,000 pre-investment valuation of the Company been reduced
dollar-for-dollar by the amount of such payment in excess of $2,000,000. For
purposes of determining the amount of any payment to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ the following
shall be excluded: (i) the amount of any royalty obligation acknowledged by the
Company as of the Closing Date and (ii) any warrant granted with a strike price
per share equal to or greater than the fair market value per share of the Common
Stock underlying the warrant at the time of grant. The fair market value per
share of the Common Stock underlying the warrant shall be determined by mutual
agreement of the Company and seventy-five percent (75%) of holders of the Series
A Shares. In the event the Company and such percentage of holders of the Series
A Shares fail to agree to a fair market value, the fair market value per share
of the Common Stock underlying the warrant shall be determined as follows:
(i) if the Common Stock is not then traded
on a national securities exchange, the average of the closing prices
quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Automated Quotation National Market System, if applicable, or the
average of the last bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in
the over-the-counter-market for the twenty (20) trading days (or such
other reasonable number of days consistent with the methodology agreed
to in the warrant) immediately preceding the time of grant or, if such
date is not a business day on which shares are traded, the next
immediately preceding trading day; or
(ii) if the Common Stock is then traded on a
national securities exchange, the average of the high and low prices of
the Common Stock listed on the principal national securities exchange
on which the Common Stock is so traded for the twenty (20) trading days
(or such other reasonable number of days consistent with the
methodology agreed to in the warrant) immediately preceding the time of
grant or, if such date is not a business day on which shares are
traded, the next immediately preceding trading day; or
(iii) if the Common Stock is not then
publicly traded, as evidenced by a written opinion from an independent
investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing mutually
agreeable to the Company and seventy-five percent (75%) of holders of
the Series A Shares..
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall limit
in any manner any remedy at law or in equity to which an Indemnified Party shall
be entitled against the Company as a result of fraud or intentional
misrepresentation by the Company or any of its representatives or agents. In
addition to all other indemnities in this Agreement, in the event of any breach
of the representation and warranty set forth in the last sentence of Section 3.2
herein, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, at no cost to the Purchasers,
an additional amount of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A
Preferred Stock such that, if such issuance were made at the Closing Date, such
representation and warranty would be true and accurate in all respects when
made.
24
25
(d) Any indemnification payment made by the Company
to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.2, including the issuance of any
additional Shares, shall be treated for federal, state, local and foreign tax
purposes as an adjustment to the price paid by such Purchaser for the Shares.
If an indemnification payment is not treated as an adjustment
to the purchase price of the Shares, the Company agrees to increase the
indemnification payment to account for any Tax Cost (including the Tax Cost
related to such increase) realized by the ultimate corporate or individual owner
of the Purchasers (looking through all non-taxable entities for federal income
tax purposes, including partnerships and LLCs). "Tax Cost" to a Purchaser is the
amount by which the tax liability of Purchaser (or affiliated group in which a
Purchaser is a member) is increased (including any decrease in an amount
refunded).
7.3 Notification by Indemnified Party. In the event of a claim
by a third party for which a party hereto is entitled to indemnification, the
Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Company promptly after such
Indemnified Party has knowledge of any claim, action, proceeding or
investigation as to which indemnity may be sought. The Company shall be entitled
to assume the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation,
including the employment of counsel and the payment of all fees and expenses.
The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in
connection with any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. However, if the Company declines or
fails to assume the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or
investigation and the Indemnified Party then employs counsel to assume defense
thereof, the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel
employed by the Indemnified Party. The Company shall be liable only for
settlement of any claim against an Indemnified Party made with the Company's
written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
8.0 Miscellaneous.
8.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents
referred to herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties, and no
