2.1
|
Issuance and Sale of Unit Consisting of Preferred Stock and Warrant; Purchase Price.
|
(a)
|
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Company Closing the Company will issue and sell to the Investors, and the Investors, severally and not jointly, shall purchase from the Company that number of Units consisting of:
|
(i)
|
SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTY SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT (766,190) shares of its Series E Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) as are set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A hereto; and,
|
|
(ii)
|
TWENTY FOUR MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND (24,705,000) warrants to purchase additional Common Shares (the “Senior Warrant”) as are set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A hereto, at an average exercise price of $3.1756 per share and an expiration date of THIRTY SIX (36) months from the Company Closing.
|
(b)
|
In consideration of the issuance and sale of the individual Units each consisting of ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED THIRTY TWO (1,532) Series E Shares and FORTY NINE THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED TEN (49,410) Senior Warrants as provided for in Table 1 in this Section 2, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein by the Company to the Investors, at the Company Closing the Investors shall pay to the Company the amount (the “Senior Purchase Price”) set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A hereto by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds to the Company Cash Account with the Intermediary using the wire instructions contained in the Section 1 of this Agreement in the definition for the Company Cash Account. The Purchase Price per Unit is $153,238.00, for a total Purchase Price of SEVENTY SIX MILLION SIX HUNDRED NINTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($76,619,000).
|
(c)
|
The Conversion of the Series E Shares to Common Shares shall be at the “Series E Conversion Rate.”1 Any partial share amounts will be rounded up to the next full share. The number of Series E Shares that are scheduled to be Converted in each monthly Breakout is shown in the planned Breakout schedule in Table 2 of this Section 2 and titled “Series E Shares Uncovered.”2 The actual number of Series E Shares Uncovered at any Breakout will be calculated using the Breakout Calculator. The full Senior Purchase Price shall be deposited in the Company Cash Account at the Company Closing, and then subsequently released from the Company Cash Account to the Working Account in monthly installments in accordance with the specific terms and conditions of the AMA, and subject only to the Company’s compliance with the conditions set forth in the AMA.
|
(d)
|
No Reversal. For avoidance of doubt, the payment and subsequent deposit of the Senior Purchase Price into the Company Cash Account shall not be reversible under any circumstances not listed in Section 2.1(g). The Company is the sole Party that may receive the Senior Purchase Price disbursements once the Senior Purchase Price has been deposited into the Company Cash Account. The Series E Conversion mechanics and various terms and conditions of this Agreement and the AMA cumulatively set forth and enforce limitations on the rate of the release of the Senior Purchase Price to the Company depending on the (i) valuation and (ii) demand for the Company’s Common Stock. Plainly stated, the Breakouts have been structured with a view towards incentivising the Company to build shareholder value to the targeted Breakout Prices on the targeted time frames set forth in Table 2 of this Section 2. In the event and to the extent that the Company is unable to build value to the targeted Breakout Prices on the targeted time frames, the Company will incur additional dilution at the Series E Conversion Rate for the same Senior Purchase Price paid by the Senior Investors; and, in the event that the demand and volume for the Common Stock are insufficient to justify release of the Scheduled Breakout as shown in Table 2 of this Section 2, then the release of the Senior Purchase Price scheduled for any such Breakout shall be reduced on a pro rated basis to be equal to no more than the “Trailing Volume”3 times the then-current Market Price (the “Available Breakout”).4 Any such reduction, or the difference between the Scheduled Release and the Available Breakout, shall be subject to release from the Draw Account as defined in and provided for in Section A.2.4 of Exhibit A of the AMA.
