OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other
than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, or to the
Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the
Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does
not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities
Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of
a Purchaser under this Agreement.
(b) Certificates
evidencing any Securities will contain the following legend or such other legend
as may be reasonably appropriate under the Securities Act for so long as the
Company determines that such legend is reasonably appropriate under the
Securities Act:
THIS
SECURITY HAS NOT 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.
4.2 Furnishing of
Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities and the
Company remains subject to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company
covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file
within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long
as any Purchaser owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and
make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144.
-13-
4.3 Securities Laws Disclosure;
Publicity. Promptly following the Closing and in accordance
with federal securities laws and regulations, the Company shall file a Current
Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions
contemplated hereby and filing the Transaction Documents as exhibits
thereto. The Company intends to and may issue press releases with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of
each Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any
Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading
Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as
required by federal securities law in connection with (A) any registration
statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, (B) the Current
Report on Form 8-K required by this Section 4.3, (C) any
filing required by the Commission, (D) any filing required by state securities
laws and regulations as set forth in Section 4.5, and (E)
the filing of final Transaction Documents (including signature pages thereto)
with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or
Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the
Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause
(ii). No Purchaser shall issue any press release or otherwise make
any public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
without the prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which
case the Purchaser shall promptly provide the Company with prior notice of such
public statement or communication.
4.4 Use of
Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale
of the Securities hereunder for general corporate working capital and corporate
purposes, including, but not limited to sales and marketing expenses, general
and administrative expenses, applications and product development expenses and
the expenses of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction
Documents.
4.5 Form D; Blue Sky
Filings. The Company shall timely file a Form D with respect
to the Securities as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and
shall provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The
Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is
necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for,
sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky”
laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such
actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser. Each Purchaser shall
take all commercially reasonable actions that are reasonably requested by the
Company related to, or to effectuate, the filing of a Form D or any filing
required pursuant to the “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States
which, for purposes of clarity, shall not include the payment of any fees by
such Purchaser.
4.6 Subsequent
Placements.
(a) If
the Company consummates an equity financing (the “Next
Financing”) prior to the first anniversary of the initial Closing Date,
each Purchaser may exchange all, but not less than all, of his, her or its Units
for the equity securities issued in such Next Financing (the “Next Financing
Securities”), and shall become subject to the terms and conditions of
such Next Financing; provided that the exchange of
the Purchaser’s Units for Next Financing Securities is permitted under the rules
and regulations of the Trading Market then in effect. The number of
Next Financing Securities into which a Purchaser’s Units may be exchanged shall
be determined by dividing (a) the aggregate Per Unit Purchase Price at which the
Units being exchanged were issued, by (b) the price per Next Financing Security
at which such securities were issued in the Next Financing.
-14-
(b) The
Company shall provide the Purchasers written notice (the “Exchange
Notice”) of any proposed Next Financing at least ten (10) days following
the initial closing of such Next Financing (the “Next Financing
Initial Closing”). Such notice
shall include the terms and conditions of such Financing, including the
consideration which was paid to the Company for the issuance of the Next
Financing Securities. If a Purchaser shall decide to exchange his,
her or its Units for Next Financing Securities, such Purchaser shall notify the
Company in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the Exchange
Notice.
(c) In
order to exchange Units for Next Financing Securities, each Purchaser shall be
required to execute all agreements executed by the investors in the Next
Financing (which in the sole discretion of the Company are reasonably applicable
to such Purchaser) and to deliver the certificate or certificates representing
their shares of Series B Preferred Stock and their Warrants, duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by a duly endorsed stock power (or, if such Purchaser
alleges that such certificate or Warrant has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a
lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to
indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on
account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the
Company at the place designated in the Exchange Notice. Each
exchanging Purchaser also shall be required to execute and deliver such
additional instruments and undertake such other actions as the Company may
reasonably require to transfer such Units and issue Next Financing Securities in
exchange therefore in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Next
Financing.
(d)
Regardless of whether the terms of the Next Financing explicitly contemplate a
closing subsequent to the Next Financing Initial Closing, if any Purchasers
elect to exchange their Units for Next Financing Securities pursuant to this
Section 4.6, then the Company shall cause there to be a subsequent closing in
which such Purchasers may exchange their Units.

5.2 Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents and all of the

together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire

5.4 Amendments;
Waivers. [CONSIDER MAJORITY APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS.] No
provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written
instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and all of the
Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of
any such waived provision is sought. No waiver 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 subsequent
default 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.
5.5 Headings. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof.
5.6 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers. Subject to compliance with federal and state securities
laws and the restrictions on transfers and assignments under the exemptions from
registration upon which the Company is relying to offer, issue and sell the
Securities, any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this
Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any
Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect
to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents
that apply to the “Purchasers.”
5.7 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person.
5.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by
and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning
the interpretations, enforcement, and defense of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a
party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders,
employees, or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal
courts sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each party hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal
courts sitting in the City of Boston for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby
or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the
Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert
in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such court, that such Proceeding is improper or is an
inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The
parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party
shall commence Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by
the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Proceeding.
-16-
5.9 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that each of the parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.10 Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth
herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same
or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.11 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers 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 contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive
and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation
the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
-17-
5.12 Independent Nature of
Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other
Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or
in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an
additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser
has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and
negotiation of the Transaction Documents.
5.13 Construction. The
parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and
had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the
normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation
of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.
