If the Holder exercises such election, the Registrable Securities so designated shall be included in the registration statement (without any holdbacks) at no cost or expense to the Holder (other than any commissions, if any, relating to the sale of Holder’s shares). Each Holder’s rights under this Section 4(g)(i) shall expire at such time as such Holder can sell all of such Holder’s remaining Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (as defined below) without volume or other restrictions or limit, except the limitations in the 1933 Act and Exchange Act.
(ii) The parties acknowledge that the damages which may be incurred by the Holder if the Company does not fulfill its obligations under subparagraph (i) above, which will
13
affect the Holder’s ability to sell the shares, may be difficult to ascertain. If either (A) the Company fails to give the Lender the notice referred to in the immediately preceding subparagraph (i) which results in any of the Holder’s shares not being included in the Subsequent Registration Statement or (B) after giving such notice, the Company fails to include all of the Holder’s shares (to the extent requested by the Holder) in the Subsequent Registration Statement, then the Company will make payment to the Lender, for each Computation Period (as defined below) an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Note then outstanding (the “Periodic Amount”) provided however, that no event shall the aggregate liquidated damages exceed 18% of the principal amount. The term “Computation Period” means each thirty (30) day period commencing on the effective date of the Subsequent Registration Statement and ending on the date on which there are one or more effective registration statements covering the Lender’s sale of all of the Holder’s shares. The Periodic Amount shall be due without further demand or notice from the Lender. The parties agree that the amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(g) represent a reasonable estimate on the part of the parties, as of the date of this Agreement, of the amount of such damages.
(iii) With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (collectively, “Rule 144”), the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish to the Holder so long as such party owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and the 1934 Act, (ii) if not available on the SEC’s XXXXX system, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holder to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and
(d) at the request of any Holder then holding Registrable Securities, give the Transfer Agent instructions (supported by an opinion of Company counsel, if required or requested by the Transfer Agent) to the effect that, upon the Transfer Agent’s receipt from such Holder of
|
|
|
|
(i) a certificate (a “Rule 144 Certificate”) certifying (A) that the Holder’s holding period (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144) for the Shares which the Holder proposes to sell (the “Securities Being Sold”) is not less than (1) year and (B) as to such other matters as may be appropriate in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and |
|
14
|
|
|
|
(ii) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that, based on the Rule 144 Certificate, Securities Being Sold may be sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, even in the absence of an effective registration statement, |
|
|
|
|
the Transfer Agent is to effect the transfer of the Securities Being Sold and issue to the Lender(s) or transferee(s) thereof one or more stock certificates representing the transferred Securities Being Sold without any restrictive legend and without recording any restrictions on the transferability of such shares on the Transfer Agent’s books and records (except to the extent any such legend or restriction results from facts other than the identity of the relevant Holder, as the seller or transferor thereof, or the status, including any relevant legends or restrictions, of the shares of the Securities Being Sold while held by the Lender). If the Transfer Agent reasonably requires any additional documentation at the time of the transfer, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered all such reasonable additional documentation as may be necessary to effectuate the issuance of an unlegended certificate.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the date of effectiveness of the registration statement, the Company notifies the Holder in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined below), the Holder shall not offer or sell any Registrable Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to the Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until the Holder receives written notice from the Company that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event; provided, however, that the Company may not so suspend such right other than during a Permitted Suspension Period. The term “Potential Material Event” means any of the following: (i) the possession by the Company of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, which shall be evidenced by determinations in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company that disclosure of such information in the registration statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Company; or (ii) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that the registration statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information.
g. Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc. Except, in each case contemplated below, as required by applicable law, rule or regulation or court or administrative order, each of the parties agrees that it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases, holding any press conferences or other forums (collectively, “Publicity”) without giving the other party reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof (which comments shall be provided promptly and without delay). Neither party will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will provide to the Lender drafts of the applicable text of the first (and only the first) filing of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as
15
practicable and will not include in such filing any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Documents in filings made with the SEC as well as any descriptive text accompanying or part of such filing which is accurate and reasonably determined by the Company’s counsel to be legally required. Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(i), the Company will, after the Closing Date, promptly file a Current Report on Form 8-K referring to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
5. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
a. The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 4(a) hereof, it will give its transfer agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions to issue Common Stock to the Holder as contemplated in the Transaction Documents. Except as so provided, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Lender’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Lender provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Lender of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 4(a) of this Agreement) permit the transfer or reissue of the Shares represented by one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend (or where applicable, by electronic registration) in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Lender.
b. The Company will authorize the Transfer Agent to give information relating to the Company directly to the Holder or the Holder’s representatives upon the request of the Holder or any such representative, to the extent such information relates to (i) the status of shares of Common Stock issued or claimed to be issued to the Holder in connection with a Notice of Exercise or transfer of Pledged Shares to the Holder, or (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of all shareholders (as a group, and not individually) as of a current or other specified date. At the request of the Holder, the Company will provide the Holder with a copy of the authorization so given to the Transfer Agent.
6. CLOSING DATE.
a. The Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first Trading Day after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run.
b. The closing of the Transactions shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Lender and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Lender.
7. CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO CONVERT.
16
The Lender understands that the Company’s obligation to sell the New Note, the Issued Shares and the Additional Issued Shares in the event such shares are issued to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date is conditioned upon:
a. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Lender;
b. The accuracy on such Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Lender contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Lender on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Lender required to be performed on or before such date; and
d. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

b. Delivery by the Company to the Lender of the Certificates in accordance with this Agreement or any other agreements between the parties;
c. The execution and delivery of the Pledge Agreement by the Pledgor;

f. Delivery by the Company of a schedule detailing all assets of the Company, their value and their location;
g. The loan contemplated by this Agreement shall be senior to all other debt of the Company;
h. The accuracy in all material respects on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Company on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before such date;
i. The Company’s financial statements and public filings must be up-to-date.
j. There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained; and
17
k. From and after the date hereof to and including the Closing Date, each of the following conditions will remain in effect: (i) the trading of the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or on the Principal Trading Market; (ii) trading in securities generally on the Principal Trading Market shall not have been suspended or limited; (iii) no minimum prices shall been established for securities traded on the Principal Trading Market; and (iv) there shall not have been any material adverse change in any financial market..
9. INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.
a. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, and each Lender Control Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Lender, its partners, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and duly authorized agents, and any such Lender Control Person becomes subject to, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any material covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in this Agreement, as such Damages are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result from Lender’s failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Lender’s or its officer’s, director’s, employee’s, agent’s or Lender Control Person’s gross negligence, recklessness or bad faith in performing its obligations under this Agreement.
b. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(i) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which any Person claiming indemnification under any provision of this Section (an “Indemnified Party”) might seek indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of this Section against any Person (the “Indemnifying Party”), together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the “Dispute Period”) whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim. The following provisions shall also apply.
18
|
|
|
(x) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this paragraph (b) of this Section, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this subparagraph (x), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this subparagraph (x), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section with respect to such Third Party Claim. |
|
|
|
(y) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to prosecute in a reasonable manner and in good faith or settle the Third Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the |
19
|
|
|
Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subparagraph (y), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in subparagraph(z) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this subparagraph (y) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this subparagraph (y), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. |
|
|
|
(z) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under paragraph (a) of this Section or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the amount of Damages specified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate. |
(ii) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under paragraph (a) of this Section specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an “Indemnity Notice”) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim or the amount of the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the amount of Damages specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under paragraph (a) of this Section and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
20
Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; provided, however, that it the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.
c. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to.
10. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. The Company and the Lender hereby waive a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the Parties hereto against the other in respect of any matter arising out or in connection with the Transaction Documents.
11. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS.
a. (i) This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of New York or the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. To the extent determined by such court, the Company shall reimburse the Lender for any reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Lender in enforcement of or protection of any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(ii) The Company and the Lender acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
b. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
c. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
d. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may require.
e. A facsimile transmission of this signed Agreement shall be legal and binding on all parties hereto.
21
f. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.
g. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
h. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
i. This Agreement may be amended only by the joint consent of the parties hereto.
j. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
