(d) Each Investor represents that (i) such Investor is able to fend for itself in the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Investor's prospective investment in the Securities; (iii) such Investor has the ability to bear the economic risks of such Investor's prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment; (iv) such Investor has been furnished with and has had access to such information as is in the Company Disclosure Letter together with the opportunity to obtain such additional information as it requested to verify the accuracy of the information supplied; and (v) such Investor has had access to officers of the Company and an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from such officers and has had all questions that have been asked by such Investor satisfactorily answered by the Company.
(e) Each Investor further represents by execution of this Agreement that such Investor qualifies as an "accredited investor" as such term is defined under Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. Any Investor that is a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, a trust or other business entity further represents by execution of this Agreement that it has not been organized for the purpose of purchasing the Securities.
(f) By acceptance hereof, each Investor agrees that the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Underlying Shares and any shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing held by it may not be sold by such Investor without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and therefore such Investor may be required to hold such securities for an indeterminate period.
4.2. Legends. All certificates for the Purchased Shares, Purchased Warrants and the Underlying Shares, and each certificate representing any shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing, whether by reason of a stock split or share reclassification thereof, a stock dividend thereon or otherwise and each certificate for any such securities issued to subsequent transferees of any such certificate (unless otherwise permitted herein) shall bear the following legend:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT."
5. Additional Covenants of the Company.
5.1. Reports, Information, Shares.
(a) The Company shall cooperate with each Investor in supplying such information as may be reasonably requested by such Investor to complete and file any information reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of an exemption, presently existing or hereafter adopted, from the Securities Act for the sale of any of the Purchased Shares, the Purchased Warrants, the Underlying Shares and shares of capital stock of the Company received in respect of the foregoing.
(b) For so long as an Investor (or the successor or assign of such Investor) holds either Securities or Underlying Shares, the Company shall deliver to such Investor (or the successor or assign of such Investor), contemporaneously with delivery to other holders of Common Stock, a copy of each report of the Company delivered to holders of Common Stock.
(c) The Company shall keep reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities into which the Purchased Warrants are then exercisable) so that the Purchased Warrants may be converted or exercised to purchase Common Stock (or such other securities) at any time.
5.2. Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to pay on each Closing Date and save the Investors harmless against liability for the payment of any stamp or similar taxes (including interest and penalties, if any) that may be determined to be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issue and sale of any Securities and the Underlying Shares, the expense of preparing and issuing the Securities and the Underlying Shares, the cost of delivering the Securities and the Underlying Shares of each Investor to such Investor's address, insured in accordance with customary practice, and the costs and expenses incurred in the preparation of all certificates and letters on behalf of the Company and of the Company's performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or complied with. Each Investor shall be responsible for its out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, except that, at the Closing, the Company shall pay fees and disbursements of counsel to the Investors as set forth in Section 6.9.
(b) The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Investors have been induced to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the Securities hereunder, in part, based upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein. The Company hereby agrees to pay, indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and any director, officer or employee of any Investor against all claims, losses and damages resulting from any and all legal or administrative proceedings, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith (collectively, "Loss"), resulting from a breach by the Company of any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or the failure of the Company to perform any covenant made herein; provided that the Company's liability under this Section 5.2(b) shall be limited to the aggregate purchase price of the Securities.
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by an Investor of notice of any Loss in respect of which the Company may be liable under this Section 5.2, the Investor shall give notice thereof to the Company. Each Investor may, at its option, claim indemnity under this Section 5.2 as soon as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as counsel for such Investor shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that such Investor may be liable or otherwise incur a Loss as a result thereof and shall give notice of such determination to the Company. Each Investor shall permit the Company, at the Company's option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel mutually and reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Investors who are subject to such claim, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that each Investor may at all times participate in such defense at such Investor's expense; and provided, further, that the Company shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of each Investor subject to such claim, (i) consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to each Investor and its affiliates of a release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or (ii) consent to any settlement of such claim. If the Company does not promptly assume the defense of such claim irrespective of whether such inability is due to the inability of the afore-described Investors and the Company to mutually agree as to the choice of counsel, or if any such counsel is unable to represent one or more of the Investors due to a conflict or potential conflict of interest, then an Investor may assume such defense and be entitled to indemnification and prompt reimbursement from the Company for such Investor's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. Such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Investors as soon as practicable after submission of invoices to the Company.
(d) The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act for as long as is required under the Investor Rights Agreement.
5.3. Conduct of Business of the Company. From the date of the execution of this Agreement until the date on which STM notifies the Company of its exercise or its waiver of the Preemptive Rights, or the Preemptive Rights expire unexercised by their terms, the Company, unless otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement or consented to in writing by the Investors, will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, carry on their respective businesses only in the Ordinary Course of Business, use their respective reasonable best efforts to preserve intact their business organizations and assets, retain the services of their officers and employees and maintain their relationships with customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees and others having business dealings with them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date of the execution of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries to:
(a) (i) increase in any manner the compensation or fringe benefits of, or pay any bonus to, any director, officer or employee, except for increases or bonuses in the Ordinary Course of Business to employees who are not directors or officers and except pursuant to existing arrangements previously disclosed to or approved in writing by the Investors; (ii) grant any severance or termination pay (other than pursuant to the normal severance practices or existing agreements of the Company or its subsidiary in effect on the date of this Agreement) to, or enter into any severance agreement with, any director, officer or employee, or enter into any employment agreement with any director, officer or employee; (iii) establish, adopt, enter into or amend any plan or other arrangement, except as may be required to comply with applicable law; (iv) pay any benefit not provided for under any plan or other arrangement; (v) grant any awards under any bonus, incentive, performance or other compensation plan or arrangement or plan or other arrangement (including the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock-based or stock-related awards, performance units or restricted stock, or the removal of existing restrictions in any plan or other arrangement or agreement or awards made thereunder), except for grants in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(b) declare, set aside or pay any dividend on, or make any other distribution in respect of, outstanding shares of capital stock;
(c) (i) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock of the Company, or any options, warrants or conversion or other rights to acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company or any such securities or obligations, or any other securities thereof, other than redemption and purchases from departing employees in the Ordinary Course of Business; (ii) effect any reorganization or recapitalization; or (iii) split, combine or reclassify any of its capital stock or issue or authorize or propose the issuance of any other securities in respect of, in lieu of or in substitution for, shares of its capital stock;
(d) except upon the exercise of Company stock options in accordance with their terms, issue, deliver, award, grant or sell, or authorize the issuance, delivery, award, grant or sale (including the grant of any limitations in voting rights or other encumbrances) of, any shares of any class of its capital stock (including shares held in treasury), any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any such shares, or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, any such shares, or amend or otherwise modify the terms of any such rights, warrants or options the effect of which shall be to make such terms more favorable to the holders thereof;
(e) acquire or agree to acquire, by merging or consolidating with, by purchasing an equity interest in or a portion of the assets of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets of any other person (other than the purchase of assets from suppliers or vendors in the Ordinary Course of Business);
(f) sell, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise subject to any encumbrance or dispose of, or agree to sell, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise subject to any encumbrance or dispose of, any of its assets, except for sales, dispositions or transfers in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(g) adopt any amendments to its articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable charter or organizational documents;
(h) pay, discharge, settle or satisfy any claims, liabilities or obligations (whether absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown), other than the payment, discharge or satisfaction, in the Ordinary Course of Business or in accordance with their terms, of liabilities reflected or reserved against in, or contemplated by, the most recent financial statement or incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or waive any material benefits of, or agree to modify in any material respect, any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreements to which the Company is a party;
(i) except in the Ordinary Course of Business, waive, release or assign any rights or claims, or modify, amend or terminate any agreement to which the Company is a party;
(j) make any change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or policy other than those required by generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States or a governmental entity; or
(k) authorize, or commit or agree to do any of the foregoing.
