The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit in any material respect the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined below) in any material respect.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

Based on the representations of the Purchaser set forth in Section 2.2, neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or Subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings if to do so would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act or otherwise prevent a completed offering of Securities hereunder.
(gg) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares and the Warrant hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.
(hh) No Disqualification Events. None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) affiliated with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event.

2.2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date:
(a) Organization and Standing of the Purchaser. The Purchaser is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or limited partnership duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization.
(b) Authorization and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to purchase the Shares and the Warrant being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or company action, and no further consent or authorization of the Purchaser or its board of directors, managers, stockholders, members or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchaser, the Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.
(d) Certain Fees. The Purchaser has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the Transaction Documents.
(e) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and the Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. The Purchaser is purchasing the Securities for its own account, not with a view toward the distribution thereof; provided, however, the foregoing representations shall not be deemed to limit a Purchaser’s ability to resell the Securities in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Purchaser is sophisticated with respect to its purchase of the Securities.
(f) No Disqualification Events. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its shareholders, members, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Covered Persons”), is subject to any Disqualification Event. The Purchaser has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Purchaser Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The purchase of the Shares and the Warrant by the Purchaser will not subject the Company to any Disqualification Event.
(g) No General Solicitation. The Purchaser represents that it is not purchasing the Securities in response to a general solicitation or a published advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

With respect to any third-party claims giving rise to a claim for indemnification, the Indemnified Party will give written notice to the Company of such third party claim; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Article 6 except to the extent that the Company is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party an actual conflict of interest between it and the Company exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the Indemnified Parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Company advises an Indemnified Party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within ten (10) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person or entity of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the Company elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Company shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Company elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 6 to the contrary, the Company shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof. The indemnification obligations to defend the Indemnified Party required by this Article 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the Indemnified Party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Company or others, and (b) any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to any applicable law.
6.3. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.1 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party thereunder in respect of any Losses, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other.

7.1. Costs and Expenses. The Company shall reimburse the Purchaser (or its designee) for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby (including all reasonable legal fees, travel, disbursements and due diligence in connection therewith and all fees incurred in connection with any necessary regulatory filings and clearances). In addition, the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided, however, that in the event that the enforcement of this Agreement is contested and it is finally judicially determined that the Purchaser was not entitled to the enforcement of the Transaction Document sought, then the Purchaser seeking enforcement shall reimburse the Company for all fees and expenses paid pursuant to this sentence. The Company shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall pay all fees of its transfer agent, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of the Securities to the Purchaser. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(a) The Company and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof without the requirement of posting a bond or providing any other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that Texas is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Dallas County of the state of Texas. The Company and the Purchaser consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agree that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

7.5. Waivers. No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.
7.6. Headings; Interpretation. The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Unless otherwise stated, any reference to the plural shall include the singular and any reference to the singular shall include the plural. Any reference to an article, section or subsection shall be an article, section or subsection of the body of this Agreement, unless otherwise stated.
7.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.

The Company may not assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document.
7.8. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person or entity.

7.10. Survival. The covenants, agreements and representations and warranties of the Company under the Transaction Documents shall survive the execution and delivery hereof indefinitely.
7.11. Counterparts.

7.12. Publicity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser consents to being identified in any filings the Company makes with the SEC to the extent required by law or the rules and regulations of the SEC.
7.13. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
7.14. Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Purchaser or the Company, the Company and the Purchaser shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents

FORM OF CERTIFICATE AMENDMENT
| 1. | Article V will be amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: |
The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, Class I Directors, Class II Directors and Class III Directors, all of whom shall be eligible for election at each annual meeting of the stockholders. The Board of Directors shall have the right to fix the number of directors from time to time; provided that the number of Class I Directors shall at all times comprise a majority of the directors and there shall always be at least one Class III Director. The Class I Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class (and to the extent that no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, then the Class I directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class), the Class II Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class, and the Class III Directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a single class (and to the extent that no shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, then the Class III directors shall be elected by the vote of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock voting together as a single class).
| 2. | A new Article XII will be added to read in its entirety as follows: |
To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, a director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liabilities of a director, then the liability of a director of the Corporation will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as so amended. This Article XII may only be amended with the vote of 95% of the outstanding equity of the Corporation, voting on a fully-diluted and as-converted to Common Stock basis.
