Except as set forth on Schedule 5(m), neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act in a way that would jeopardize the availability of any applicable federal or state securities law exemption for the offer and sale of the Securities, or any applicable stockholder approval provisions of, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the OTCQB [as defined in Section 5(v)], if any. No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and any registration statement which registers the Securities or statements regarding the Subscribers’ ownership of the Securities or in correspondence with the Commission regarding same, it will not disclose publicly or privately the identity of the Subscribers unless (i) expressly agreed to in writing by Subscribers, (ii) as needed in any dispute or proceeding with a Subscriber, (iii) in response to an inquiry by a governmental agency or a self-regulatory organization or (iv) to the extent required by law and then only upon not less than four (4) days prior notice to Subscribers. Upon delivery by the Company to the Subscribers after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing, electronically or otherwise, and while a Note and Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are held by such Subscribers, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice or information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries or unless such information is delivered to such Subscriber pursuant to a nondisclosure agreement between the Company and such Subscriber whereby such Subscriber has agreed to maintain material nonpublic information in confidence, the Company shall within four (4) days after any such delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Report on Form 8-K. In the event that the Company believes that a notice or communication to Subscribers contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, except as required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information. Subscribers will be granted five (5) days to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information. In the case that Subscriber elects not to receive such information, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers; provided that such failure to provide such information will not be deemed to be a default by the Company under the Transaction Documents. In the absence of any such Company indication, Subscribers shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, taken together. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to file a Report on Form 8-K and/or provide prior notification to a Subscriber in advance of delivering any notice or information that contains material nonpublic information to any Subscriber who is serving as a director or officer of the Company at the time of disclosure. The Company agrees that any information known to Subscriber as of the Closing Date not already made public by the Company on or after the filing of the Form 8-K required to be filed pursuant to Section 9(o) below may be made public and disclosed by the Subscriber unless and to the extent that such information was disclosed to such Subscriber pursuant to a nondisclosure agreement between the Company and such Subscriber whereby such Subscriber has agreed to maintain material nonpublic information in confidence.
20

10. Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscribers, the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, counsel, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation or warranty, or material misrepresentation, by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto in any Transaction Document; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other Transaction Document entered into by the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.
(b) In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Registrable Securities (as defined herein).
11.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(a) The Company shall file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act on or before sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable following the Filing Date (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of its effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 within three (3) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed, or not be subject to further review), but in any event not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Closing Date (the “Effective Date”).
24
To the extent permitted by the Commission, the Company will register not less than a number of shares of common stock in the aforedescribed Registration Statement that is equal to 125% of the Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of all the Notes issued on the Closing Date including interest for the entire term of the Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively the “Registrable Securities”). Any security which is Registrable Security (including Warrant Shares after giving effect to cashless exercise of the Warrants) shall cease being a Registrable Security once such Registrable Security has been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or may be resold under Rule 144 without volume limitations or manner of sale requirements pursuant to Rule 144b(i)(i) (including, with respect to Warrant Shares, giving effect to the ability to net exercise the Warrants), and at such time as there are no longer any “Registrable Securities” as defined above (and in all events one year after the Closing Date), the Company may terminate the Registration Statement. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, pro rata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each Subscriber and Warrant holder. The Company represents that there are no securities of the Company which would or could be aggregated with the Registrable Securities for purposes of Rule 415 and the Company will not take any action that could cause such aggregation. Not later than twenty (20) days after first being permitted by applicable Commission rules and regulations, the registration statement will be amended by the Company or additional registration statements will be filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. Without the written consent of a Majority in Interest, no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a default of the Company’s obligations if at any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Holders fewer than 90% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein (the difference between the amount required to be registered therein and the actual amount of shares registered being the “Shortfall”). In such event the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein to be registered within forty-five (45) days after the first day such Shortfall exists. Failure to file the registration statement in accordance with the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the first day such Shortfall first exists or failure to cause such registration to become effective within forty-five (45) days after such Shortfall first exists shall be included in the definition of a Non-Registration Event set forth in Section 11.4.
If at any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Holders fewer than 90% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein (with any Cut Back Shares being deemed as not required to be registered) (the difference between the amount required to be registered therein and the actual amount of shares registered being the “Shortfall”), the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement as soon as reasonably practicable but in all events within forty-five (45) days after the first day such Shortfall exists, and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a registration statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires any holder of Registrable Securities (a “Holder”) to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by the registration statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Holders is an “underwriter.” The Holders (through a single counsel for all Holders) shall have the right to participate in and comment on any written submission made to the Commission with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the Commission regarding such issues to which such counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section, the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the registration statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or
25
(ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 and that no Holder is named as an “underwriter” in the registration statement without that Holder’s prior written consent (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”). Any cut-back imposed on the Holders pursuant to this Section shall be allocated first, to any shares included in the Registration Statement on behalf of any one who is not a Holder and then, among the Holders on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement and then to any other shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Holders otherwise agree. Provided that the number of Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement after the application of any cutback is not less than 17.6 million shares [subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 13(p)], no limitation on the number of Registrable Securities included in the registration statement as a result of the application of Rule 415 shall be deemed to be a breach of any provision of the Transaction Documents, and no penalties, liquidated damages or other damages or other consequences under the Transaction Documents shall result from or accrue due to such initial cutback but shall accrue in connection with the obligation described in the next sentence. In the event the Company amends the initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-1 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the initial Registration Statement, as amended. In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment.
(b) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered pursuant to the Registration Statement which has not ceased to be a Registrable Security, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller” or “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten or a registered direct public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting or registered direct offering may be reduced by the managing underwriter or managing placement agent if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter or managing placement agent shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction.
26
(c) The Subscribers hereby acknowledge that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of a prospectus until such time as an amendment to the related registration statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission or until the Company has amended or supplemented such prospectus. Each Subscriber hereby covenants that it will not sell any securities pursuant to any prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Sellers notice of the suspension of the use of such prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Sellers notice that the Sellers may thereafter effect sales pursuant to such prospectus. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not suspend use of any registration statement by the Sellers unless in the good faith determination of the Company such suspension is necessary (A) to delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) to amend or supplement the affected registration statement or the related prospectus as required by the federal securities laws or so that such registration statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) because it would be detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for sales to be made from such Registration Statement at such time, or that there exists a material development or potential material development involving the Company which the Company would be obligated to disclose in the prospectus contained in such registration statement, which disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, be materially detrimental to the Company at such time, or that it is advisable to suspend use of the prospectus not to exceed the period of time described below due to material undisclosed pending corporate developments or pending public filings with the Commission (which need not be described in detail) (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that (X) except as otherwise provided by clause (Y) below, in the event that such suspension is required by the need for an amendment or supplement to a registration statement or a related prospectus, the Company shall promptly (taking into account the above factors) file such required amendments or supplements as shall be necessary for the disposition of the Registrable Securities to recommence, (Y) if the Company has determined in good faith that offers and sales pursuant to a prospectus should not be made by reason of the presence of potential material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in the related registration statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, the Company may suspend the use of such prospectus and defer the filing of any required amendment or supplement for the minimum period of time reasonably necessary (taking into account the above factors) to avoid such adverse effect, and (Z) Allowed Delays may be imposed for not more than forty-five (45) days (which need not be consecutive days) in any twelve (12) month period (defined as every rolling period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive days commencing on the effective date). Notwithstanding anything else herein, a Subscriber’s inability to sell Registrable Securities during an Allowed Delay shall not be deemed to be a breach or default, but will result in the accrual of liquidated damages hereunder.
11.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 11.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by Section 11.1 with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Sellers (by facsimile and by e-mail to an address, if any, provided by the Subscribers) and Grushko & Xxxxxxx, P.C. (by email to xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) on or before the second Business Day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the Notes and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);
27
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of one (1) year, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement or make them electronically available;
(d) [reserved];
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) notify the Sellers within twenty-four (24) hours of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;
(g) provided same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers during reasonable business hours, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Sellers, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the Sellers, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement at such requesting Seller’s expense; and
(h) provide to the Sellers copies of the registration statement and amendments thereto five (5) Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission. Any Seller’s failure to comment on any registration statement or other document provided to a Subscriber or its counsel shall not be construed to constitute approval thereof nor the accuracy thereof.
11.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each registration described in this Section 11, each Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
28
11.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company agrees that the Sellers will suffer damages if the registration statement is not filed or is not declared effective by the Commission by the dates described herein and accordingly, if (A) due to the action or inaction of the Company a registration statement is not declared effective within five days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (B) any registration statement described in Section 11.1(a) is not filed by the Filing Date, or is not declared effective by the Effective Date or any other date set forth in Section 11.1(a), or (C) any registration statement described in Sections 11.1(a), 11.1(b) or 11.1(c) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded within twenty-two (22) Business Days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive days commencing on the effective date) (each such event shall be a “Non-Registration Event”), then the Company shall pay to the holder of Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and purchase price of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of Notes and exercise of Warrants held by Subscribers which are subject to such Non-Registration Event. The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash. The Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event a registration statement is filed but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the Commission, then such registration statement will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated accordingly. All oral or written communications received from the Commission relating to a registration statement must be responded to within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such communication from the Commission. Failure to timely respond to Commission communications is a Non-Registration Event for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate and amounts set forth above calculated from the date the response was required to have been made. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with Registrable Securities for such times as such Registrable Securities may be freely sold by the holder thereof pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) without volume limitations.
11.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars (but excluding such fees relating to any transfer of Common Stock by a Subscriber that is unrelated to a resale under a Registration Statement), are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described in Section 11. Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration statement shall be borne by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares included on behalf of the Seller relative to the aggregate number of shares included under such registration statement for all Sellers, or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
11.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of the officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made,
29
and will subject to the provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
30
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
11.7. Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.
(a) Delivery of Unlegended Shares. Within three (3) Business Days (such fifth day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock (acquired pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) held by the Subscriber has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements under rule 144 as to such shares are without volume and manner of sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required, Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and any other documents reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date. Provided Unlegended Shares may be resold pursuant to the effective registration statement or Rule 144(b)(1) without volume or manner of sale limitations, the Company may deliver uncertificated shares in lieu of share certificates.
31
(b) DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per Business Day (increasing to $200 per Business Day after the tenth Business Day) after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any three hundred and sixty (360) day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the purchase price paid or deemed paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty (30) day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty (30) day period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. To the extent that liquidated damages accrues under this Section, Section 2.5A of the Note and Section 2(d)(i) of the Warrant, then the Holder may elect which one of the Sections referring to such liquidated damages shall apply.
(d) Injunction. In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or anyone associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has not complied with Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of the greater of (i) 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which is subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day (as defined in Section 13(h) herein) before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
32
(e) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) 144 Default. At any time commencing six months after the Closing Date and ending on the End Date, in the event the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares without such shares thereafter being subject to any resale restrictions or without any restrictive legend being put on the shares following their sale or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144 (a “144 Default”), for any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any other filings required to be made by the Company by the required filing dates (provided that any filing made within the time for a valid extension shall be deemed to have been timely filed), or the Company’s failure to make information publicly available which would allow Subscriber’s reliance on Rule 144 in connection with sales of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, except due to a change in current applicable securities laws or because the Subscriber is an Affiliate (as defined under Rule 144) of the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty (30) days) an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.7(f) in connection with Shares for such times as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without any legend or volume or other restrictions (other than the availability of current public information) pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.
12. (a) Favored Nations Provision. Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, or pursuant to acquisitions of assets or intellectual property (or licensing of or rights to use assets or intellectual property) or similar strategic transactions approved by a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company, in each case so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements and other bona fide partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other equity awards to purchase Common Stock to officers, employees, and directors, and up to 200,000 shares or awards to consultants who perform consulting services to the Company, pursuant to any option or equity incentive plan or agreement duly adopted for such purpose approved by a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company,
33
(iv) the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the unamended terms disclosed in the Reports and which securities are also described on Schedule 12(a), (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement, (vi) securities issued pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock resulting in a proportionate and an equitable adjustment to the conversion price of the Notes or the exercise price of the Warrants, and (vii) placement agent warrants issuable to licensed broker dealers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as described on Schedule 12(a) or underwriter warrants issued as compensation to licensed broker dealers in connection with underwritten public offerings (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the a Majority in Interest, then the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price. The Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares and exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. For purposes of the adjustments described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the adjustment described above upon the sooner of (A) public announcement of, (B) the agreement to, or (C) actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or options and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance. A convertible instrument (including a right to purchase equity of the Company) issued, subject to an original issue or similar discount or which principal amount is directly or indirectly increased after issuance will be deemed to have been issued for the actual cash amount received by the Company in consideration of such convertible instrument. The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 12(a) are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, Warrants, any other Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.
(b) Right of Participation. Until twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Subscribers hereunder shall be given not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its Common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations including but not limited to a registered direct offering; in connection with the Excepted Issuances (“Other Offering”). If Subscribers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(b), the Subscribers shall have the right during the ten (10) days following receipt of the notice, to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Note Principal issued to them on Closing Date. Subscribers who participate in such Other Offering shall be entitled at their option to purchase, in proportion to each other, the amount of such Other Offering that could have been purchased by Subscribers who do not exercise their rights hereunder until up to the entire Other Offering is purchased by Subscribers. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the ten (10) days following the notice of modification to exercise such right.
34
(c) Until the later of (a) eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, or (b) the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Subscriber is granted the right to elect to substitute any term or terms of any other offering in connection with which the Subscriber has rights as described in Section 12(a) or Section 12(b), for any term or terms of the Offering in connection with Securities owned by Subscriber as of the date the Subscriber’s rights pursuant to Section 12(a) are triggered or the date notice described in Section 12(b) is required to be given to Subscriber, at Subscriber’s election.
(d) Maximum Exercise of Rights. In the event the exercise of the rights described in Section 12(a), Section 12(b) and Section 12(c) would or could result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Subscriber (but not the payment to the Company of the purchase price for the common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations sold in the Other Offering) will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the applicable maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement and such Subscriber notifies the Company accordingly.
13. Special Conditions. The Company issued promissory notes (“Prior Notes”) to the persons and entities identified on Schedule 13 hereto (“Prior Lenders”), in the principal amounts and on the dates indicated thereon. The amount outstanding to the Prior Lenders in connection with the Prior Notes as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 13 (“Outstanding Prior Debt”). Each Prior Lender may participate in the Offering and tender as payment of such Prior Lender’s Purchase Price, dollar-for-dollar the amount outstanding and owed to such Prior Lender in connection with such Prior Notes. The Prior Lenders will deliver the Prior Notes to the Escrow Agent on or prior to the Closing Date to be exchanged for Notes.

(n) Independent Nature of Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(o) Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their permitted successors and assigns.
(p) Adjustments. The conversion price, Warrant exercise price, amount of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.
