(b) The Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of the following legend, or substantially similar legend, on any certificate evidencing the Series B Shares:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
| 10 |
The Company agrees to cause such legend to be removed immediately upon effectiveness of a registration statement covering the Series B Shares, or when any Series B Shares are Rule 144 Eligible. The Company further 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 Series B Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and which agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Investor may transfer pledged or secured Series B Shares 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 Investor’s reasonable expense, the Company will execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Series B Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Series B Shares.
4.2 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Series B Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Series B Shares to the Investor.
4.3 Publicity. The Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Investor shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the Company, with respect to any such press release of the Investor, or without the prior written consent of the Investor, with respect to any such press release of the Company, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior written notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor, or include the name of the Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency, without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except (i) as contained in the press release described above, or (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Investor with prior written notice of such disclosure.
4.4 Reverse Merger. The Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees to vote in favor of the proposed Merger. In the event that the Company has not completed such Merger by June 21, 2013, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete an initial public offering or a reverse merger into an appropriate, debt and liability free, public shell company, such that a class of securities of the Company (or securities in the public shell company received by the members in such a transaction) will be traded on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter bulletin board. Notwithstanding the understanding of the Parties, the Parties agree that in the event that the Merger has not occurred by September 30, 2013, the Series B Shares owned by the Investor, assuming the Maximum Amount has been purchased, shall automatically and without any action required by either Party hereto, convert into debt of the Company to the Investor in the principal amount equal to 133% of the dollar amount then invested by the Investor, whether into the Company directly or as set forth on Schedule A. The promissory note evidencing such debt shall have a term of six (6) months and not bear interest.
4.5 Reimbursement. If Investor becomes involved in any capacity in any proceeding by or against any Person who is a shareholder of the Company (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales and similar transactions by the Investor to or with any current shareholder), solely as a result of Investor’s acquisition of the Series B Shares under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Investor for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses are incurred, or will assume the defense of the Investor in such matter. The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 4.5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of the Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Investor and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, the Investor and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither the Investor nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Series B Shares under this Agreement.
4.6 Indemnification of the Investor
| 11 |
4.7 No Additional Sales of Equity Securities; Right of First Refusal. The Company agrees that for a period of six (6) months following the Effective Date, it shall issue no equity securities to any Person without the prior written consent of the Investor. Commencing six (6) months after the Effective Date, if the Company proposes to issue any of its equity securities to any Person (a “Sale”) the Company shall first notify the Investor in writing of the proposed sale (the “Sale Notice”). Each Sale Notice shall contain all material terms of the proposed Sale, including, without limitation, a copy (if applicable) of the written offer received, the name and address of the prospective purchaser, the purchase price and terms of payment, the date and place of the proposed Sale, and the number and description of equity securities proposed to be sold by the Company (the “Offered Securities”). The Investor shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date the Sale Notice is given to elect to purchase all or a portion of the Offered Securities at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Sale Notice. The Investor may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all (or any portion of) of the Offered Securities, by notifying the Company in writing, before expiration of such fifteen (15) day period as to the number of such Offered Securities that it wishes to purchase.
4.8 Drag-Along Rights; Tag-Along Rights.
(a) Drag-Along Rights. In the event that the Investor accepts an offer to purchase its Series B Shares from a bona fide third party, the Investor may send a written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to the other shareholders of the Company (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) specifying the name of the purchaser, the consideration payable per Series B Share and a summary of the material terms of such proposed purchase. Upon receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, each Drag-Along Seller shall be obligated to (i) sell all of its equity securities, free of any encumbrances, in the transaction contemplated by the Drag-Along Notice on the same terms and conditions as the Investor (including payment of its pro-rata share of all costs associated with such transaction), and (ii) otherwise take all necessary action to cause the consummation of such transaction, including voting its equity securities in favor of such transaction. Each Drag-Along Seller further agrees to take all actions (including executing documents) in connection with consummation of the proposed transaction as may reasonably be requested of it by the Investor, and hereby appoints the Investor as its attorney-in-fact to do the same on its behalf.
(b) Tag-Along Rights. In connection with any proposed purchase of equity securities from any shareholder of the Company other than the Investor (a “Disposing Person”) by a third party, the Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation (a “Tag-Along Right”), to require the third party to purchase from the Investor rather than from the Disposing Person, up to the number of equity securities equal to the Investor’s Proportionate Share. The Investor’s “Proportionate Share” shall mean a number of equity securities equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing the number of equity securities held by the Investor by the aggregate number of equity securities held by the Disposing Person, multiplied by (ii) the number of equity securities to be sold in the contemplated Sale. The transfer of equity securities by the Investor exercising its Tag-Along Right pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) shall not be subject to the right of first refusal provided for in Section 4.7. The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by the Investor by delivery of a written notice to the Disposing Person within 10 days following the date of receipt of the sales notice (the “Disposing Person Sales Notice”), which notice shall set forth the number of equity securities such Disposing Person elects to sell. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any third party offering to purchase equity securities does not purchase all of the equity securities offered by the Investor pursuant to this Section 4.8(b), then the Disposing Person shall not be entitled to sell any equity securities to such third party, whether pursuant to the terms originally agreed to by the Disposing Person and such third party or any other terms, without again complying with this Section 8.3.
| 12 |
4.9 Post-Merger Investments. In the event that the entire Maximum Amount shall not have been purchased by the Investor prior to the closing of the Merger, the Company shall cause Beacon to accept the remaining amount permitted to be invested hereunder on substantially identical terms and conditions.

(a) By the written agreement of the Parties;
(b) By the Company or the Investor in the event that the Closing has not occurred by June 28, 2013 (the “Termination Date”);

5.2 Liabilities upon Termination prior to the Termination Date. In the event of the termination of this Agreement prior to the Termination Date, this Agreement shall thereafter be valid solely to the extent performed, but shall become void and have no effect as to the obligations of the Parties as to all matters to be performed on or after the Termination Date, and no Party hereto shall have any liability concerning those matters to be performed after the Termination Date to the other Parties hereto or their respective equity owners, managers, directors, officers, employees or agents in respect thereof, except that nothing herein will relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of any covenant herein contained prior to such termination.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.11 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.12 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been cancelled.

The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
6.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, Appendices and Schedules hereto, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement.
