ARTICLE II
ADVANCES
2.1 Advances; Mechanics. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions of Article VII hereof), the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to the Investor, and the Investor shall purchase from the Company, shares of Common Stock on the following terms:
| 4 |
(a) Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period, the Company may require the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII; provided, however, that: (i) the amount for each Advance as designated by the Company in the applicable Advance Notice shall not be more than the Maximum Advance Amount; (ii) the aggregate amount of the Advances pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the Commitment Amount; (iii) in no event shall the number of Shares issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its Affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”); (iv) if the Common Stock is listed or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other U.S. national securities exchange during the Commitment Period, in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance Notice cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement, together with all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other Principal Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted, to exceed the Exchange Cap; and (v) in no event shall the aggregate offering price or number of Shares, as the case may be, exceed the aggregate offering price or number of Shares, as the case may be, available for issuance under the Registration Statement (the “Registration Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, if any portion of the applicable Advance, or the Shares issuable to Investor pursuant to such Advance, would result in any of the limitations set forth in this Section 2.1(a) to be exceeded, such portion of such Advance shall be void ab initio and automatically be deemed to be withdrawn by the Company with no further action required by the Company or the Investor, and the amount of proceeds ultimately due to the Company under such Advance shall be reduced accordingly. Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall confirm orally or in writing to the Investor, within two (2) Trading Days of such request, the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, or any other information the Investor may request, so that the Investor may properly analyze and make the determinations required to insure that none of the limitations set forth in this Section 2.1(a) shall ever be exceeded.
(b) Date of Delivery of Advance Notice. Advance Notices shall be delivered in accordance with the instructions set forth on the bottom of Exhibit “A”. An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on: (i) the Trading Day it is received by the Investor, if such Advance Notice is received prior to 5:00 pm, Eastern Time; or (ii) the immediately succeeding Trading Day if such Advance Notice is received by Investor after 5:00 pm, Eastern Time, on a Trading Day or at any time on a day which is not a Trading Day. No Advance Notice may be deemed delivered on a day that is not a Trading Day, or if positive receipt of such Advance Notice is not acknowledged by the Investor. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, there shall be a minimum of five (5) Trading Days between a Closing Date and a subsequent Advance Notice Date.
(c) Delivery of Estimated Advance Shares. On an Advance Notice Date, the Company shall deliver to the Investor’s brokerage account (pursuant to instructions provided by the Investor) an estimated number of Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, equal to the Advance indicated in the applicable Advance Notice divided by the lowest daily VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Advance Notice Date, multiplied by two hundred percent (200%) (the “Estimated Advance Shares”). On the Trading Day immediately following the Clearing Date applicable to the then applicable Advance Notice, the Investor shall acknowledge consideration by allocating funds in the Investor’s brokerage account in an amount equal to the par value of the Estimated Advance Shares (“Par Value Payment”), which Par Value Payment shall be held in the Investor’s brokerage account for the duration of the Pricing Period and adjusted at the Closing as hereinafter set forth. Under no circumstances shall the Par Value Payment exceed the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice and no Advance Notice shall be delivered to the Investor if the Company’s Common Stock is trading at or below its par value. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Investor may sell shares of the Company’s Common Stock relating to a particular Advance Notice, including, without limitation, all of the Estimated Advance Shares in the Investor’s brokerage account on the Clearing Date with respect to such Advance Notice, at any time after the Advance Notice is received by the Investor. If the amount of Estimated Advance Shares due to be delivered to the Investor pursuant to a particular Advance Notice would result in the Investor exceeding the Ownership Limitation, then the amount of the Advance requested in the Advance Notice shall be automatically reduced the Estimated Advance Shares shall be automatically reduced to an amount that would allow for delivery by the Company to Investor of Estimated Advance Shares for the full two hundred percent (200%) contemplated hereby, without exceeding the Ownership Limitation.
| 5 |
(d) Exchange Cap. If the Common Stock is listed or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other U.S. national securities exchange during the Commitment Period, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of all shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement, together with all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other Principal Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted, would exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby without: (i) breaching the Company’s obligations under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other Principal Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted; or (ii) obtaining stockholder approval under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other Principal Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted (the “Exchange Cap”). In such a circumstance, any portion of the applicable Advance, or the Shares issuable to Investor pursuant to such Advance, that would exceed the Exchange Cap to be exceeded shall be void ab initio and automatically be deemed to be withdrawn by the Company with no further action required by the Company or the Investor, unless and until the Company elects to solicit stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the stockholders of the Company have in fact approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, any other Principal Market on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted, and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.
2.2 Closings. Each Closing shall take place on a Closing Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:
(a) Settlement Document. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor promptly shall notify the Company in writing of the occurrence of the Clearing Date associated with an Advance Notice. The Pricing Period with respect to such Advance Notice shall begin on the first (1st) Trading Day immediately following the applicable Clearing Date. At the end of the Pricing Period, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document (each a “Settlement Document”) setting forth: (i) the amount of the Advance (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.1 above); (ii) the Purchase Price; (iii) the Market Price (as supported by a report by Bloomberg L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period); and (iv) the number of Shares to be issued and subscribed for in connection with the applicable Advance (which in no event will be greater than the Ownership Limitation, the Exchange Cap, or the Registration Limitation), in each case taking into account any adjustments and/or reductions under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Settlement Document shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.
| 6 |
(b) Confirmation of Settlement Document. Upon receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance, the Company shall, by promptly (and in any event not later than one (1) Trading Day after receipt) signing the Settlement Document and returning it to the Investor, confirm that it has obtained all permits and qualifications, if any, required for the issuance and transfer of the Shares applicable to such Advance, or shall have the availability of exemptions therefrom, and that the sale and issuance of such Shares shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to which the Company is subject. Execution of the Settlement Document by the Company shall also be deemed a representation by the Company that all conditions to an Advance under Article VII have been fully satisfied in all material respects as of each Condition Satisfaction Date.
(c) True-Up Date and Closing Date. If the number of Estimated Advance Shares initially delivered to the Investor pursuant to Section 2.1(c) is greater than the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor pursuant to such Settlement Document, then, on the Advance Shares True-Up Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company any excess Estimated Advance Shares associated with such requested Advance, unless the parties mutually agree for the Investor to retain such excess shares of Common Stock to apply to the next requested Advance. If the number of Estimated Advance Shares initially delivered to the Investor pursuant to Section 2.1(c) is less than the aggregate number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor pursuant to such Settlement Document, then, on the Advance Shares True-Up Date, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a number of additional shares of the Company’s Common stock equal to the difference between the Estimated Advance Shares and the Shares issuable pursuant to such Settlement Document. In all circumstances any amount of additional shares due to the Investor to make up this difference on the Advance Share True-Up Date shall not cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation. If the issuance of any such additional shares would cause the Ownership Limitation or any other limitations set forth in Section 2.1(a) to be exceeded, then the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice shall be automatically reduced to an amount that would not cause any of such limitations to be exceeded, and the amount of proceeds ultimately due to the Company will be reduced accordingly. The Closing of a request for an Advance shall occur upon the date (the “Closing Date”) on which the settlement of trades of all of the Shares that occurred during the applicable Pricing Period and after the applicable Advance Shares True-Up Date associated with such Advance Notice in the Investor’s brokerage account has been completed and when any additional Shares, if required after an Advance Share True-Up Date, have been deposited into the Investor’s brokerage account without restrictive legend and only after the Investor’s broker has confirmed with the Investor that the Investor may execute trades with respect to any such additional Advance Shares. A Closing may be delayed if Shares are sent via physical delivery in certificate form. In all circumstances no subsequent Advance Notice(s) may be deemed delivered and the Investor has no obligation to accept subsequent Advance Notice(s) until all shares of Common Stock related to a previous Advance Notice’s Advance Share True-Up Date have been deposited into the Investor’s brokerage account without restrictive legend and only after the Investor’s broker has confirmed with the Investor that the Investor may execute trades related to them. Once the settlement of all trades of all Shares has been confirmed and, if applicable, any subsequent Shares due to the Investor have been received and their delivery and clearance in Investor’s brokerage account confirmed, then the Investor shall confirm to the Company, by e-mail notification, that the Closing Date with respect to the applicable Advance Notice has occurred, and within one (1) Trading Day of such confirmation, the Investor shall deliver to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company: (i) the amount of the Advance specified in the Advance Notice, and as confirmed and adjusted by the Settlement Document; less (ii) the Par Value Payment. In the event that the Investor is no longer able, due to time constraints beyond its control, to perform a wire on any particular Trading Day, then the wire will be promptly executed on the next following Trading Day. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable in accordance with this Section 2.2(a), and provided that the Company’s transfer agent is then participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Investor, the Company shall cause the Company’s transfer agent to electronically transmit the applicable Shares by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system, and provide proof satisfactory to the Investor of such delivery. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of Shares. Any certificates evidencing Shares delivered pursuant hereto shall be free of restrictive legends.
| 7 |
(d) Additional Documents. On or prior to each Closing Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.
(e) Outstanding Fees or Payments. To the extent the Company has not paid any fees, expenses, or other amounts due to the Investor in accordance with this Agreement, then the amount of such fees, expenses, or other amounts due may be withheld by the Investor from the wire transfer pursuant to that particular Advance Notice and used to pay for any such fees, expenses or other amounts due. If in the event that on a Closing Date the amount of the requested Advance has been reduced to a dollar amount that does not exceed the initial Par Value Payment made by the Investor, then that difference, up to the full Par Value Payment, will be required to be returned and paid by the Company to the Investor on the next following Trading Day via wire transfer, if applicable. If there are any fees, expenses, costs, or other amounts (including any portion of the Par Value Payment per the immediately preceding sentence) is due by the Company to Investor, no subsequent Advance Notice(s) may be deemed delivered and the Investor has no obligation to accept subsequent Advance Notice(s) if any such fees, expenses, costs, or other amounts (including any portion of the Par Value Payment per the immediately preceding sentence) are then outstanding and due to the Investor.
(f) Hardship. In the event the Investor sells shares of the Company’s Common Stock after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in this Agreement, and specifically the Company fails to deliver to the Investor the shares of Common Stock corresponding to the applicable Advance Notice pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 (including, without limitation, delivery of any required Estimated Advance Shares and any additional Shares by no later than on the Advance Share True-Up Date), the Company acknowledges that the Investor shall suffer financial hardship and therefore, the Company shall be liable for any and all losses, commissions, fees, interest, legal fees or any other financial hardships caused to the Investor, whether such hardships were caused by the Company’s failures, failures of the Company’s transfer agent, or otherwise. As compensation to the Investor for late delivery of any such shares in accordance with the strict requirements of this Agreement, the Company agrees to make payments to the Investor in accordance with the schedule below, such amounts being cumulative. The Company understands that if for any reason shares of its Common Stock are not able to be delivered electronically, then significant transaction delays may occur, impacting the ability of transfer agents, brokers, counterparties and intermediaries to deliver and clear shares promptly. This may ultimately delay any applicable Advance Notice Date, Clearing Date, Advance Share True-Up Date, and Closing Date related to an Advance Notice. Furthermore, the Company understands that additional costs may be associated with the delivery of shares of its Common Stock when issued and/or delivered in certificate form and acknowledges that any related fees will be borne by the Company in full. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Investor to pursue all other remedies Investor may have, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement, without the posting of a bond or other security, for the Company’s failure to comply with the issuance and delivery instructions and covenants set forth in this Agreement.

5.3 Notice of Claim. For purposes of this Article V, a party that is subject to a Claim and entitled to indemnification hereunder is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “lndemnitee,” and the party having the obligation to indemnify the other is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnitor.” Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Claim involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnitor, deliver to the Indemnitor a written notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnitor: (i) will not relieve the Indemnitor of liability under this Article V, unless and to the extent the Indemnitor did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Indemnitor of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnitor from any obligations to the Indemnitee, other than those indemnity obligations provided in this Article V. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 5.1 above, counsel to the Indemnitee shall be selected by the Company, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 5.2 above, counsel to the Indemnitee shall be selected by the Investor. An Indemnitor may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any such Claim; provided, however, that counsel to the Indemnitor shall not (except with the consent of the Indemnitee) also be counsel to the Indemnitee. In no event shall the Indemnitor be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in connection with any negotiation or defense of any Claim, and the Indemnitee shall furnish to the Indemnitor all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Claim. The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. An Indemnitor will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought under this Agreement (whether or not the Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such Claim) unless: (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim; and (ii ) such settlement, compromise or consent does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
| 17 |
5.4 Contribution. In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnitee for any reason, the Company and the Investor, as applicable, severally agree to contribute to the aggregate Indemnified Liabilities to which the Company and the Investor may be subject, as applicable, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Investor on the other from transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Investor severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Investor on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Indemnified Liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Investor shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts received by the Investor. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Investor on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. The aggregate amount of Indemnified Liabilities incurred by an Indemnitee and referred to above in this Article V shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.4, the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Purchase Price for Shares actually purchased pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section ll(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Article V, each Person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Investor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Investor, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.
5.5 Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnitee.
