8.2 Purchaser’s Indemnification. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company’s officers, directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at all times against any claims, costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, losses or damages (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature (“Company Losses”), incurred by or imposed upon the Company that result, arise out of or are based upon: (i) any misrepresentation by the Purchaser or breach of any warranty by the Purchaser in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or thereto; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by the Purchaser of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Purchaser hereunder, under any Related
31
Agreement or under any other agreement entered into by the Company and the Purchaser relating hereto or thereto; in each case excluding all Company Losses to the extent occasioned by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any such indemnified person as finally determined pursuant to applicable law.
9. Exercise of the Warrants.
9.1 Mechanics of Exercise.
|
|
|
(a) Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the Purchaser’s intention to sell the Warrant Shares in accordance with the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration in the amount to be sold: (i) upon the exercise of the Warrants or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser following a request by the Purchaser) to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.1(b) hereof and in such denominations to be specified representing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise; and (ii) the Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given by the Company to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the registered Warrant Shares issued will be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the registered Warrant Shares. |
|
|
|
(b) The Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to exercise the Warrants or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be subscribed to the Company (the “Form of Subscription”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender the Warrants until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Warrant Shares or until the Warrants have been fully exercised. Each date on which a Form of Subscription is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Exercise Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Form of Subscription, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within three (3) business days of the date of the delivery to the Company of the duly and timely completed Form of Subscription and payment therefore (the “Instruction Date”) and shall use its best efforts to cause the transfer agent to promptly transmit the certificates representing the Warrant Shares set forth in the applicable Form of Subscription to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after the Instruction Date (the “Delivery Date”). |
32
|
|
|
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 9.1(b) above and the Warrant Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9 hereof upon exercise of the Warrants in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock (if any) that the Purchaser was forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such exercise, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate amount of the Exercise Price for the Warrants, for which such Form of Subscription was not timely honored. |
10. Registration Rights.
