Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities 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 six months from the Closing Date. For the purposes of Section 4.20 of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business); (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

 

4.21         Foreign Corrupt Practices. None of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

 

4.22         Auditors. The auditor of the Company, which has certified the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the Company’s last fiscal year, and any of its successors or any other auditing firm that is expected to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and as required by the Securities Act.

 

 

4.23         Acknowledgement Regarding Investor Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to compliance by the Investor and the Investor Directors with applicable law, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) the Investor has not been asked by the Company to agree, nor has the Investor agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement for any specified term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Investor, specifically including, without limitation, short sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; (iii) the Investor, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any the Investor is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock; and (iv) the Investor shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) the Investor may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement is being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing shareholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.  The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

 

4.24         Money Laundering. The operations of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Managed PCs are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with applicable financial record-keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, applicable money laundering statutes and applicable rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”), and no action or Proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Managed PC, threatened.

 

4.25         No Disqualification Events. With respect to the Securities to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act, none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, nor, to its knowledge, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, 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) connected 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)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the Investor a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

 

4.26         Other Covered Persons. The Company is not aware of any person (other than any Issuer Covered Person) that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

 

4.27         Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Investor in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person, in each case of which it is aware.

 

 

4.28         Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Notes and shares of Series A Preferred Stock as contemplated by this Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will not result in a violation of the qualification or registration requirements of the any applicable state securities laws, and neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

 

4.29         Valid Issuance of Note Conversion Shares. The Note Conversion Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Articles of Amendment of Series A Preferred Stock and the Articles of Amendment of Series B Preferred Stock for the consideration specified therein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws, and the restrictions imposed by the Subordination Agreement.

(a)           Until 36 months after the date hereof, upon any proposed issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its Managed PCs of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, other than (i) a rights offering to all holders of Common Stock (which may include extending such rights offering to holders of Notes and Series B Preferred Stock) or (ii) issuance of Excluded Securities (each a “Subsequent Financing”), the Company shall offer to the Investor an opportunity to participate in such Subsequent Financing as provided below, and the Investor shall have the right, but not obligation, to participate in such Subsequent Financing, in each case up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to the Investor’s ownership percentage of Common Stock on an “as-converted basis” (assuming the conversion of the Notes, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by the Investor) (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.

 

(b)           At least 10 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask the Investor if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of the Investor, and only upon a request by the Investor, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to the Investor. As part of any such request, the Investor shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the Subsequent Financing Notice may contain material non-public information. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

 

(c)           If the Investor desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, the Investor must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 10th Trading Day after the Investor receives the Pre-Notice that the Investor is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Investor’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Investor has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from the Investor as of such 10th Trading Day, the Investor shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

 

(d)           The Company must provide the Investor with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Investor will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 6.1 of this Agreement, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

 

 

(e)           The Company and the Investor agree that if the Investor elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby the Investor shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the securities purchased hereunder (for avoidance of doubt, the securities purchased in the Subsequent Financing shall not be considered securities purchased hereunder) or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, the Notes, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Investor.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Investor, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Investor that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that the Investor will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the 10th Trading Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such 10th Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Investor, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Investor shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its Managed PCs.

7.10         Indemnification.

 

(a)           Indemnification of Investor. In further consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery, or acceptance, of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other holder of such Securities and all of their shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Investor Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Investor Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any intentional misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Investor Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance by the Company or enforcement of this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no indemnification obligation to the extent any Investor Indemnified Liabilities are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Investor Indemnitees. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Investor Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

 

(b)           Indemnification of Company. In further consideration of the Company’s execution and delivery, or acceptance, of this Agreement and issuing, as applicable, the Securities issuable hereunder, and in addition to all of the Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers and directors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Company Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Company Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Company Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any intentional misrepresentation or material breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any material breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Investor contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall have no indemnification obligation to the extent any Company Indemnified Liabilities are due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company Indemnitees. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Investor may be unenforceable for any reason, the Investor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Company Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

(c)           Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Investor Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party, as applicable (the “Indemnified Party”), has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third Person, which such Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith and makes an unqualified acknowledgment in writing of its obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such matter. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party.

 

 

7.11          Legends.

 

(a)           Each certificate or instrument representing restricted Securities issuable hereunder, if any, shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, until such time that such Securities are no longer restricted under the Securities Act:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY COMPARABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THE SAME IS REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

 

(b)           Until the Senior Debt (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) has been Paid in Full (as defined in the Subordination Agreement), the Securities issuable hereunder shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

 

THIS INSTRUMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF A SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 28, 2017, IN FAVOR OF GUARANTY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, A COLORADO BANK, WHICH AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS TERMS) IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

 

(c)           The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities issuable hereunder to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured such Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of such Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of such Securities.

 

 

(d)           Certificates evidencing the Securities issuable hereunder shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 7.11 hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) if such Securities are eligible for sale, free of any restrictions or limitations, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (including any affiliate restrictions), or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). If the conditions of any of clauses (i)-(iv) above are satisfied, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent or the Investor promptly if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by any Investor, respectively. If all or any portion of the Notes, Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock issuable hereunder is converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the underlying Common Stock, or if such Securities may be sold under Rule 144 free of any restrictions or limitations, or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC), then such Securities shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7.11(d), the Company will, no later than the earlier of (i) two Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing such Securities, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such second Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Company’s transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 7.11(d). Certificates for the Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Company’s transfer agent to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Investor (or as otherwise requested by the Investor). As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing the Securities issued with a restrictive legend.

 

 

(e)           In addition to the Investor’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to an Investor, in cash, the greater of (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Notes acquired pursuant to this Agreement (and corresponding portion of Series A Preferred Stock) (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to an Investor by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by the Investor that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then an amount equal to the excess of the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock that the Company was required to deliver to the Investor by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Investor to the Company of the applicable shares of Common Stock (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 7.11(e).

 

7.12         Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices a register for the Securities, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the amount of such Securities held by such person. The Company shall keep the register open and available during business hours for inspection by the Investor or their legal representatives upon prior written notice.

In this Agreement, except to the extent the context otherwise requires: (a) any reference in this Agreement to a Section, a Schedule or an Exhibit is a reference to a Section thereof, a schedule thereto or an exhibit thereto, respectively, and to a subsection thereof or a clause thereof is, unless otherwise stated, a reference to a subsection or a clause of the Section or subsection in which the reference appears; (b) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and the like mean and refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the specific Section, subsection, paragraph or clause in which the respective word appears; (c) the meaning of defined terms shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined; (d) references to agreements and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments and other modifications thereto; (e) references to statutes or regulations are to be construed as including all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute or regulation referred to; and (f) the captions and headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

 

7.14         Authorizations, Fees and Expenses. The Company shall bear its own expenses and shall pay the reasonable expenses and legal fees of the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all necessary legal, contractual and shareholder authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.15         Further Assurances. Each party agrees to cooperate fully with the other parties and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such further written assurance as may be reasonably requested by any other party to evidence and reflect the transactions described in this Agreement and contemplated hereby and thereby and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

 

7.16         Reservation of Stock. The Company has as of the Closing Date (i) reserved from its authorized and unissued Preferred Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock upon the conversion of the Notes acquired pursuant to this Agreement and Series A Preferred Stock (and shares of its Common Stock for issuance on conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock), (ii) reserved from its authorized and unissued Preferred Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock under the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) filed the Articles of Amendment of Series A Preferred Stock and the Articles of Amendment of Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Colorado, amended the Governing Documents and taken all other necessary steps to provide sufficient reserves of (A) shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and Series A Preferred Stock issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable under this Agreement.
