REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and
warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as applicable (except
for the representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which
shall be made as of such date), to each of the Purchasers that, except as set
forth in the Schedules delivered herewith:
(a) Subsidiaries. The
Company has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than Kun Run HK and Hainan
Zhonghe. The Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests
of each Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien, and all the issued and
outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully
paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive and similar rights. Except as
disclosed on Schedule
3.1(a), there are no outstanding obligations of any of the Company’s
Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for, or warrants, options or other
rights for the purchase or acquisition from the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or other obligations of any Company Subsidiary to issue, directly
or indirectly, any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any
Company Subsidiary. All issuances and transfers of equity interests
in each Subsidiary since their inception were properly made in accordance with
all applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdiction(s) in which such
Subsidiary is or was incorporated, and all filings, registrations, permits and
approvals required from Government Authorities were properly made and obtained
with respect to such issuance or transfer of equity securities. The
corporate records of each Subsidiary accurately reflect all issuances and
transfers of equity securities by such Subsidiary or, where applicable, its
predecessor.
11
(b) Organization and
Qualification. Each of the Company and each Subsidiary is an entity duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation (as applicable), with the
requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is not in
violation of any of the provisions of its articles of incorporation or bylaws,
and none of the Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of the provisions
of its respective organizational documents. Each of the Company and
each Subsidiary is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as
a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as
the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Authorization; Enforcement;
Validity. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out
its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of
the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party by the Company, and
the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby (including, but not limited to, the issuance of, or the reservation for
issuance and the subsequent issuance of, as applicable, the Units, the Warrants
and the Shares) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on
the part of the Company, and no further corporate action is required by the
Company, its Boards of Directors or stockholders in connection therewith other
than in connection with the Required Approvals. Each of the
Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party has been (or upon delivery
will have been) duly executed by the Company, as applicable, and is, or when
delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application, and
insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by
applicable law. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(c)
hereto, there are no stockholder agreements, voting agreements, or other similar
arrangements with respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is
a party or, to the Company’s Knowledge, between or among any of the Company’s
stockholders.
(d) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, but not limited to, the issuance of,
or the reservation for issuance and the subsequent issuance of, as applicable,
the Units, the Warrants and the Shares) do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate any provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws,
(ii) except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(d),
conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of
time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, adjustment, acceleration or cancellation (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any Material Contract or warrant
or other right to acquire capital stock of the Company or (iii) result in a
violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or
other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries is subject or decree (including federal and state
securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations, assuming the
correctness of the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers herein,
of any self regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are
subject, including all applicable Trading Markets), or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected), except in
the case of clause (iii) such as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.
12
(e) Filings, Consents and
Approvals. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
required to obtain any approval, consent, waiver, authorization or order of,
give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other
federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Transaction Documents (including the issuance of the Securities), other than (i)
the filing with the Commission of one or more Registration Statements in

required by applicable state and federal securities laws, (iii) the filing of a
Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with the Commission under Regulation D of
the Securities Act, (iv) the filing of any requisite notices and/or

have been made or obtained prior to the date hereof and (vi) the Stockholder
Approval (collectively, the “Required
Approvals”).
(f) Issuance of the
Securities. The Units, the Shares and the Warrants have been
duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of
the Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, free and clear of
all Liens, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction
Documents or imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to
preemptive or similar rights of stockholders. Assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Purchasers in this Agreement, the
Securities will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state
securities laws. As of the Closing Date, the Company shall have
reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Series A Preferred to be sold and issued hereunder as Unit
Shares, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such Series A Preferred. The Company shall, so long as
any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and
keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the
purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants (x) the maximum number of
shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without
taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in
the Warrants) and (y) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.
13
(g) Capitalization. The
number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital
stock, options and other securities of the Company (whether or not presently
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of
the Company) has been set forth in the SEC Reports and has changed since the
date of such SEC Reports only to reflect stock option and warrant exercises that
do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the issued
and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities. All of
the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, have been issued in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and
none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights
or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the

(i) no shares of the Company's capital stock are subject to preemptive rights or
any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances suffered or permitted by
the Company; (ii) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to
subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or
securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any
shares of capital stock of the Company, or contracts, commitments,
understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to
issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or options, warrants,
scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) there are no
material outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit
facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing indebtedness
of the Company or by which the Company is or may become bound; (iv) there are no
financing statements securing obligations in any material amounts, either singly
or in the aggregate, filed in connection with the Company; (v) there are no
agreements or arrangements under which the Company is obligated to register the
sale of any of their securities under the Securities Act (except the Investor

or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company; (vii) there are no
securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that
will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities; (viii) the Company does not
have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any
similar plan or agreement; and (ix) the Company has no liabilities or
obligations required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports (as defined herein) but
not so disclosed in the SEC Reports, other than those incurred in the ordinary
course of the Company's businesses and which, individually or in the aggregate,
do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.1(g)(ii)
sets forth a complete and accurate list, as of the date hereof,
(A) with respect to all outstanding options and warrants to acquire capital
stock of the Company, the number and type of capital stock subject to each such
stock option or warrant, the grant date, expiration date, exercise price per
share and vesting schedule thereof and the name of the holder thereof and (B)
with respect to all outstanding shares of Common Stock that are subject to
outstanding Company restricted stock or restricted stock units, the grant date
and vesting schedule and name of the holder thereof. All outstanding
stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units are evidenced by stock
option agreements, restricted stock unit agreements or other award agreements,
in each case substantially in the forms filed as exhibits to the SEC Reports,
except that the forms of such agreements differ with respect to the number of
shares covered thereby, the exercise price (if applicable), vesting schedule and
expiration date applicable thereto and other similar terms, provided
that no stock option agreement, restricted stock unit agreement or other award
agreement contains terms that are inconsistent in any material respect with, or
material terms in addition to, such forms. With respect to the
outstanding stock options, (A) each was duly authorized no later than the
date on which the grant of such stock option was by its terms to be effective
(the “Grant
Date”) by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable,
approval by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly constituted and
authorized committee thereof) and any required stockholder approval by the
necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing
such grant (if any) was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto,
(B) each grant was made in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Company equity incentive plan, the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws,

Stock on the applicable Grant Date and (D) each grant was properly
accounted for in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the
related notes) of the Company and disclosed in the SEC Reports in accordance
with the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws. The Company has
not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or
practice to knowingly grant, stock options prior to, or otherwise knowingly
coordinate the grant of stock options with, the release or other public
announcement of material information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries
or their financial results or prospects.
(h) SEC

statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange
Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for two (2) years

law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the

dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement, the SEC Reports
complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be

the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
14

involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or
the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain
all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the

Company in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) has set aside on their books
provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply,
except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, where the failure to so pay
or file any such tax, assessment, charge or return would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(k) Material
Changes. Since the date of the latest financial statements

Reports, (i) there have been no events, occurrences or developments that have
had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the

Subsidiaries has incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise)
other than (A) trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities incurred

respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses,
properties, operations or financial condition that would be required to be
disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this
representation is made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one Trading
Day prior to the date that this representation is made.
15
(l) Environmental
Matters. To the Company’s Knowledge, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries (i) is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation,
decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or
foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic

or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and there is no pending or, to
the Company’s Knowledge, threatened investigation that might lead to such a
claim.
(m) Litigation. There
is no Action which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or
enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents or the Securities, (ii)
involves a claim of material violation of or material liability under any
federal, state, local or foreign laws governing the Company's or any of its

limiting the generality of the foregoing, laws relating to the manufacture,
processing, packaging, labeling, marketing, distribution, use, inspection,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of the Company's product,
and regulated or hazardous substances, as well as all authorizations, codes,
decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or
notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered,
promulgated or approved thereunder, all as may be in effect from time to time
and all successors, replacements and expansions thereof, (iii) involves material
injury to or death of any person arising from or relating to any of the
Company's product, or (iv) could, if there were an unfavorable decision,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(n) Employment
Matters. No material labor dispute exists or, to the Knowledge
of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees is
a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the
Company or such Subsidiary, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its
Subsidiaries believe that their relationships with their employees are good. No
executive officer, to the Knowledge of the Company, is, or is now expected to
be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement or
non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive
covenant in favor of any third party, and the continued employment of each such
executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any
liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in
compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n), none
of the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and
each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(including, but not limited to, the issuance of, or the reservation for issuance
and the subsequent issuance of, as applicable, the Units, the Warrants and the
Shares) (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination
of employment) will (A) entitle any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
employees to any compensation or benefit, except as required by any statute,
rule or regulation of any governmental authority applicable to the Company,
(B) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or trigger any payment or
funding, of any compensation or benefit, including any stock options, restricted
stock, or restricted stock units, or trigger any other material obligation or
(C) result in any material breach or violation of, or default under, or limit
the Company’s right to amend, modify or terminate, any Company employee
compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement (each,
an “Employee
Transaction Benefit”). Each Company benefit plan or
arrangement that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the
meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the IRC subject to Section 409A of
the IRC has been in operational compliance with Section 409A of the IRC
since January 1, 2005, and has been in documentary compliance with Section 409A
of the IRC since January 1, 2009, based upon a good faith, reasonable
interpretation of Section 409A of the IRC and the final Treasury
Regulations and other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service
thereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(n)
attached hereto, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (either
alone or upon the occurrence of termination of employment) constitute an event
that may result in (either alone or in connection with any other circumstance or
event) or give rise directly or indirectly to any “parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the IRC. The Company is not a party
to any agreement to compensate any Person for excise taxes payable pursuant to
Section 4999 of the IRC.
16
(o) Compliance. The
Company (i) is not in default under or in violation of (and no event has
occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both,

notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any
Material Contract (whether or not such default or violation has been waived),
(ii) is not in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental
body having jurisdiction over the Company or its properties or assets, or (iii)
is not or has not been in violation of, or in receipt of notice that it is in
violation of, any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority
applicable to the Company, except in each case as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Regulatory
Permits. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all
certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal,
state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their
respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, including without
limitation the PRC State Food and Drug Authority (“PRC
SFDA”), except where the failure to possess such permits, individually or
in the aggregate, has not and would not have, individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect (“Material
Permits”), and (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or material
adverse modification of any such Material Permits and (ii) the Company is
unaware of any facts or circumstances that the Company would reasonably expect
to give rise to the revocation or material adverse modification of any Material
Permits.
(q) Title to
Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(q), the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title or valid
land use rights granted by relevant Governmental Authorities in the People’s
Republic of China to all real property used in the conduct of their
respective businesses as now conducted and proposed to be conducted, in each
case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(q), the
Company and each of its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all
tangible personal property owned by them which is material to the business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and defects except such as do not materially affect the value of
such property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of
such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any real property
and facilities held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are
held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions
as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property and buildings by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.
17
(r) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and its Subsidiaries own, possess,
license or have other rights to use all foreign and domestic patents, patent
applications, trade and service marks, trade and service xxxx registrations,
trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, technology and
other proprietary rights and processes (collectively, the “Intellectual
Property”) necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as
now conducted and proposed to be conducted. Except where
such violations or infringements would not have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, to the Company’s Knowledge (a) there
are no rights of third parties to any such Intellectual Property; (b) there is
no infringement by third parties of any such Intellectual Property; (c) there is
no pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging
the Company’s rights in or to any such Intellectual Property; (d) there is no
pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging

pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the
Company or any Company Subsidiary infringes or otherwise violates any patent,
trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights of
others. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable
security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of
their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so would not have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has duly and properly filed or caused to be filed
with applicable foreign patent authorities all patent applications owned by the
Company (the “Company Patent
Applications”). To the knowledge of the Company, the Company has made no
material misrepresentation in the Company Patent Applications. The Company is
not aware of any information material to a determination of patentability
regarding the Company Patent Applications not called to the attention of the
foreign patent authority. The Company is not aware of any information not called
to the attention of the foreign patent authority that would preclude the grant
of a patent for the Company Patent Applications. The Company has no knowledge of
any information that would preclude the Company from having clear title to the
Company Patent Applications.
(s) Insurance. Neither
the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice of cancellation
of any insurance, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be
unable to renew its respective existing insurance coverage as and when such
coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be
necessary to continue their respective businesses without a significant increase
in cost.
(t) Transactions With Affiliates
and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports and
other than the grant of stock options or other equity awards that are not
individually or in the aggregate material in amount, none of the officers or
directors of the Company and, to the Company’s Knowledge, none of the employees
of the Company, is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or to a
presently contemplated transaction (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors) that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item
404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
(u) Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of
liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management's general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and
liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since
the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act)
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
18
(v) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx; Disclosure
Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material
respects with all of the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are
applicable to it, except where such noncompliance would not have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has

processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the

the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report

under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the

no Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or a
Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any
agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the

(y) Registration
Rights. Other than each of the Purchasers or as set forth in

Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has
taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under

Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received written
notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has
been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with
the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market except as set
forth on Schedule
3.1(bb). The Company is in compliance in all material respects
with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued trading of the

under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the
Company's charter documents or the laws of the State of Nevada that is or could
reasonably be expected to become applicable to any of the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the
Company's issuance of the Securities and the Purchasers' ownership of the
Securities. The Company has not adopted a stockholder rights plan or similar
arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or
a change in control of the Company.
(ee) Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other
relationship between the Company and an unconsolidated or other off balance
sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its Exchange Act
filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(ff) Acknowledgment Regarding
Purchasers’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that each of the Purchasers is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s
length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no
Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by any Purchaser or any
of their respective representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely
incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the Securities.
(gg) Solvency. As
of the Closing Date, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and will be
Solvent. As used herein, “Solvent”
means, with respect to the Company on a particular date, that on such date, in
each case including the fair value of the Company’s Intellectual Property, (a)
the fair value of the property of the Company is greater than the total amount
of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Company; (b) the
present fair salable value of the assets of the Company is not less than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on its
debts as they become absolute and matured; (c) the Company does not intend to,
and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the
Company’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; (d) the Company
is not engaged in a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a
business or transaction, for which the Company’s property would constitute an
unreasonably small capital; and (e) as of the date hereof, the Company is not
“insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et. seq), as amended from time to time (the
“Bankruptcy
Code”). The amount of contingent liabilities (such as
litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be
computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances
existing at the time, represents the amount that can be reasonably be expected
to become an actual or matured liability. The Company does not intend
to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into
account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its
debt). The Company has no Knowledge of any facts or circumstances
which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation
under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year
from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date
thereof all outstanding secured and unsecured indebtedness of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments, which
are required to be disclosed in such XXX Xxxxxxx.

any of its Subsidiaries (each such product, a “Pharmaceutical
Product”), such Pharmaceutical Product is being manufactured, packaged,
labeled, tested, distributed, sold and/or marketed by the Company in compliance
with all applicable requirements applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations
relating to registration, investigational use, premarket clearance, licensure,
or application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory
practices, good clinical practices, product listing, quotas, labeling,
advertising, record keeping and filing of reports, except where the failure to
be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. There is no pending, completed or, to the Company’s Knowledge,
threatened, action (including any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or
administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation)
against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning letter or other
communication from the PRC SFDA or any other governmental entity, which (i)
contests the premarket clearance, licensure, registration, or approval of, the
uses of, the distribution of, the manufacturing or packaging of, the testing of,
the sale of, or the labeling and promotion of any Pharmaceutical Product, (ii)
withdraws its approval of, requests the recall, suspension, or seizure of, or
withdraws or orders the withdrawal of advertising or sales promotional materials
relating to, any Pharmaceutical Product, (iii) imposes a clinical hold on any
clinical investigation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) enjoins
production at any facility of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) enters
or proposes to enter into a consent decree of permanent injunction with the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (vi) otherwise alleges any violation of
any laws, rules or regulations by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and
which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse
Effect. The properties, business and operations of the Company have been and are
being conducted in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations of the PRC SFDA. The Company has not been informed by the
PRC SFDA that it either will prohibit the marketing, sale, license or use in the
PRC of any product proposed to be developed, produced or marketed by the Company
nor has the PRC SFDA expressed any concern as to approving or clearing for
marketing any product being developed or proposed to be developed by the
Company.
(ii) No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or
understanding with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction
Documents.
(jj) MOC
Approval. Based on the legal opinion of the Company PRC
Counsel, Kun Run HK’s acquisition of accumulative 99.12% equity interests in the
Company in 2008 will not be deemed as a transaction between affiliates under
Circular 10 of 2006, and the aforesaid acquisition did not require approval by
the PRC Ministry of Commerce on the basis of being a transaction between
affiliates.
21
3.2 Representations and
Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby, for
itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization with the requisite corporate or partnership power and authority to
enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable
Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and
thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all

partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the
part of such Purchaser. Each of this Agreement and the Investor
Rights Agreement has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by
such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid
and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’
rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
application.
(b) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such
Purchaser of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement and the
consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of
such Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to
others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of,
any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party, or
(iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws)
applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii)
above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations
hereunder.
(c) Investment
Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are
“restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or
any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal
for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling
such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities laws, provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the
Securities for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, at all times to
sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Warrants or the Shares
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring the
Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Such Purchaser does
not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the
Securities (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any
Person; such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the
Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so
registered as a broker-dealer.
(d) Purchaser
Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities,
it was, and at the date hereof it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act.
(e) General
Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities
as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication
regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media
or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other
general advertisement.
22
(f) Experience of Such
Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its
representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business
and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits
and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is
able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(g) Access to
Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to review the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the
opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive
answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions
of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its respective
financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and
prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the
opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or
can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such
inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such
Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such
Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the
Disclosure Materials and the Company's representations and warranties contained
in the Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser has sought such
accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an
informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the
Securities.
(h) Certain Trading
Activities. Other than with respect to the transactions contemplated
herein, since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company,
the Consultant or any other Person regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby until the date hereof, neither the Purchaser nor any Affiliate of such
Purchaser which (x) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y)
has or shares discretion relating to such Purchaser’s investments or trading or
information concerning such Purchaser’s investments, including in respect of the
Securities, and (z) is subject to such Purchaser’s review or input concerning
such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading
Affiliates”) has
directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to
any understanding with such Purchaser or Trading Affiliate, effected or agreed
to effect any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser and/or Trading Affiliate that is,
individually or collectively, a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby
separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser's or
Trading Affiliate’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge
of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other
portions of such Purchaser's or Trading Affiliate’s assets, the representation
set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed
by the portfolio manager that has knowledge about the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons who are parties to
this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all
disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the
existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
except as otherwise provided in Section 4.12 of this Agreement, no Purchaser
makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in
Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the effectiveness of any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Investor Rights
Agreement.
(i) Brokers and
Finders. Except for the Consultant Fees, no Person will have,
as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right,
interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Purchaser for any
commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser.
23
(j) Independent Investment
Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the
merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction
Documents, and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of
any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such
decision. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement
or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser
in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or
investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and
investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or
appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.
(k) Reliance on
Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgements and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
(l) No Governmental
Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.

Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Series A Preferred and
Common Stock and other activities with respect to the Series A Preferred and
Common Stock by the Purchasers.

Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in
this Article III and the Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1
Transfer
Restrictions.
(a) Compliance with
Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV,
each Purchaser covenants that the Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to
an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the
requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from,
or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal
securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities
other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the
Company (including pursuant to the Lead Investor’s exercise of the Put Right),
(iii) to an Affiliate of a Purchaser, (iv) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that the Purchaser
provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and
broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such
rule) or Rule 144A, (v) pursuant to Rule 144 following the applicable holding
period or (vi) in connection with a bona fide pledge, the Company may require
the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected
by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and
substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to
the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer of
any Securities other than Unrestricted Securities (as defined below), any such
transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and
shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Investor
Rights Agreement.
24
(b) Legends. Each
of the Warrants and the certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear any legend
as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in
substantially the following form, as applicable, until such time as they are not
required under Section 4.1(c) (and a stock transfer order may be placed against
transfer of the certificates for the Shares):
NEITHER
THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF
THESE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED
OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY ARTICLE IV OF THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF APRIL 17, 2010, BY AND AMONG KUN RUN BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC.
AND THE PURCHASERS IDENTIFIED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES THERETO.
In
addition, if any Purchaser is an Affiliate of the Company, the Warrants and the
certificates evidencing the Shares issued to such Purchaser shall bear a
customary “affiliates” legend.
(c)
Removal of
Legends. The legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) above shall be
removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend or any
other legend to the holder of the applicable Securities upon which it is stamped
or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account
at DTC, if (i) a Registration Statement covering the resale of such Securities
by the Purchasers is effective, (ii) such Securities are sold or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or
(iii) such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (any Securities
meeting any of such criteria being referred to as “Unrestricted
Securities”). Fees with respect to the Transfer Agent and
Company Counsel associated with the removal of such legend shall be borne by the
Company. Following such time as a legend is no longer required for
certain Securities, the Company will no later than five (5) Trading Days
following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with
notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities
(endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in
form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer), deliver or cause to be
delivered to the transferee of such Purchaser or such Purchaser, as applicable,
a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and
other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records
or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on
transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. In lieu of delivering
physical certificates, upon the written request of any Purchaser, the Company
shall use its best efforts to transmit certificates for Securities subject to
legend removal hereunder to such Purchaser by crediting the account of the
transferee’s Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission (DWAC) system. The time periods for delivery and
penalties described herein shall apply to the electronic transmittals described
herein. Any delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be
effected by delivery of physical certificates. Each Purchaser agrees
that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates representing
Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1(c) above is predicated upon the
Company’s reliance that such Purchaser would sell, transfer, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of such Securities pursuant to either the
registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable
prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such
Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in
compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
25
(d)
Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions. The Company shall execute and deliver
irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent, which irrevocable instructions
shall be acknowledged in writing by the Transfer Agent (the “Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions”). The Company represents and warrants that
no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions or
instructions consistent therewith referred to in this Section 4.1(d) will be
given by the Company to its transfer agent in connection with this Agreement,
and that the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and
records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the
other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company acknowledges that a
breach by it of its obligations under this Section 4.1(d) will cause irreparable
harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at
law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.1(d) will be inadequate
and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 4.1(d), that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction
restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without
the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security
being required.
(e)
Acknowledgement. Each
Purchaser hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the
Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the
Securities or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of
the Securities Act. While any Registration Statement remains
effective, each Purchaser hereunder may sell the Shares in accordance with the
plan of distribution contained in such Registration Statement and, if it does
so, it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery
requirements unless an exemption therefrom is available. Each
Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that if
it is notified by the Company in writing at any time that a Registration
Statement registering the resale of any of the Shares is not effective or that
the prospectus included in such Registration Statement no longer complies with
the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, the Purchaser will refrain
from selling such Shares until such time as the Purchaser is notified by the
Company that such Registration Statement is effective or such prospectus is
compliant with Section 10 of the Exchange Act, unless such Purchaser is able to,
and does, sell such Shares pursuant to an available exemption from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act. Both
the Company and its Transfer Agent, and their respective directors, officers,
employees and agents, may rely on this subsection (e), and each Purchaser
hereunder will indemnify and hold harmless each of such persons from any
breaches or violations of this paragraph.
4.2 Acknowledgment of
Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the
Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred and Common Stock. The Company further acknowledges that its
obligations under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation its
obligation to issue the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are
unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off,
counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution
or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other
stockholders of the Company.
4.3 Reservation of Series A
Preferred Stock and Common Stock. As of the Closing Date, the
Company shall have taken all action necessary to authorize and reserve no less
than (i) the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred to be sold and
issued hereunder as Unit Shares, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A Preferred. The
Company shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action
necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued
capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants
(x) the maximum number of shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the
Warrants set forth in the Warrants) and (y) the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants.
26
4.4 Furnishing of
Information. In order to enable the Purchasers to sell the
Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, commencing on the date hereof
and ending at such time as all Purchasers can freely sell Securities without
restriction under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and
file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the
Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. During
such period, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such
laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchasers and make publicly available
in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the
Purchasers to sell the Shares under Rule 144.
4.5 Form D and Blue
Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect
to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof
to each Purchaser who requests a copy in writing promptly after such
filing. The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such
action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain
an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers at each
Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky”
laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the
Purchasers who request in writing such evidence on or prior to the Closing
Date. The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the
offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing
Date.
4.6 No
Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall
sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect

7.4 Amendments; Waivers; No
Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may
be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an
amendment, by the Company and the Purchaser or Purchasers holding or having the
right to acquire, at the time of such amendment, at least a majority of the
total Unit Shares and Warrant Shares (on a fully-diluted basis) then issued and
held by, or remaining issuable to, all Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver,
by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought; provided that if any
provision of this Agreement states that such provision can only be waived as to
a Purchaser with the consent of such Purchaser, then the consent of such
Purchaser shall be required to waive such provision with respect to such
Purchaser. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the
future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision,
condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party
to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to
amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any other provision of this
Agreement, the Warrants or the Investor Rights Agreement unless the same
consideration is also offered to all Purchasers.
7.5 Construction. The
headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions
hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the
language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of
strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement
shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents.
7.6 Successors and
Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may
not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the
Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or
in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities
in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee
shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities,
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the
“Purchasers”. In addition, any Purchaser may assign its rights or
obligations to purchase the Units that the Purchaser has agreed to purchase at
the Closing, in whole or part, to any other Person (including in the event that
the conditions to such Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Units at the
Closing as set forth in Section 5.1 hereof are not satisfied or waived by such
Purchaser), subject to the written consent of the Company and Purchasers
(including the assigning Purchaser) who have agreed to purchase a majority of
the aggregate number of Units to be sold at the Closing, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
37
7.7 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person.
7.8 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each
party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other
Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the courts of
the State of New York sitting in New York County or in the United States of
America for the Southern District of New York (the “New York
Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of
the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to
assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been
commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process
being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way
any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PURCHASERS ENTERING INTO THIS
AGREEMENT.
7.9 Survival. The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by
or on behalf of the Company or the Purchasers or any person controlling any of
them and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities for two (2)
years following each the Closing. The agreements and covenants
contained herein shall survive for the applicable statute of
limitations.
7.10 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken
together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the
other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
38
7.11 Severability. If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
7.12 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any
Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or
cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or
instrument, but only upon the execution by the holder thereof of a customary
lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and, with respect to Shares, the Transfer Agent for any
losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in
such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. If a
replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due
to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated
certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a
replacement.
7.13 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will
be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction
Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any
action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection
with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at
law would be adequate.
7.14 Adjustments in Share Numbers
and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or
distribution payable in shares of Series A Preferred or Common Stock (or other
securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to
receive directly or indirectly shares of Series A Preferred or Common Stock, as
applicable), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring
after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of
shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately
account for such event.
7.15 Independent Nature of
Purchasers' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any
Transaction Document. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase
and/or acquire Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by
such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser 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 Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser,
and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to
any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained
herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser
pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other
Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its
investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such
Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or
enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser
shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including
without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has
been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a
transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or
requested to do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each Purchaser
under this Agreement are identical to its obligations to each other Purchaser
other than such differences resulting solely from the number of Securities
purchased by such Purchaser, but regardless of whether such obligations are
memorialized herein or in another agreement between the Company and a
Purchaser.

full shares of Series A Preferred covered hereby upon surrender of this Warrant,
with the Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise
Form”) duly completed and executed, together with the full Exercise Price
(as defined below, which may be satisfied by a Cash Exercise or a Cashless
Exercise, as each is defined below) for each share of Series A Preferred as to
which this Warrant is Exercised, at the office of the Company, Kun Run
Biotechnology, Inc., Free Trade Xxxx, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 570216, Fax: [____], or at such other office or agency as the
Company may designate in writing, by overnight mail, with an advance copy of the
Exercise Form sent to the Company and the transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred (“Transfer
Agent”) by facsimile (such surrender and payment of the Exercise Price
hereinafter called the “Exercise”
of this Warrant).
(b) Date of Exercise. The “Date of
Exercise” of the Warrant shall be defined as the date that the Exercise
Form, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to the Company, provided that
the original Warrant and Exercise Form are received by the Company and the
Exercise Price is satisfied, each as soon as practicable thereafter.
Alternatively, the Date of Exercise shall be defined as the date the original
Exercise Form is received by the Company, if Holder has not sent advance notice
by facsimile.
(c) Confirmation; Delivery of
Series A Preferred Upon Exercise. Upon receipt by the Company
of an Exercise Form, the Company will promptly send, but in no event later than
three (3) Trading Days following such receipt, via facsimile or other electronic
means, a confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Form to the Holder and the
Transfer Agent. Within five (5) Trading Days after any Date of
Exercise (the “Delivery
Period”), the Company shall issue and deliver (or cause its Transfer
Agent to so issue and deliver) in accordance with the terms hereof to or upon
the order of the Holder that number of shares of Series A Preferred (“Exercise
Shares”) for the portion of this Warrant Exercised. Upon the Exercise of
this Warrant or any part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and
expense, take all necessary steps, including obtaining and delivering, an
opinion of counsel to assure that the Transfer Agent shall issue stock
certificates in the name of Holder (or its nominee) or such other persons as
designated by Holder and in such denominations to be specified at Exercise
representing the Exercise Shares issuable upon such Exercise.
(d) Delivery Failure. In
addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the
event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Exercise
Shares by the end of the Delivery Period (a “Delivery
Failure”), the Holder will be entitled to revoke all or part of the
relevant Exercise Form by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company
whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective
positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice.
(e) Cancellation of
Warrant.
This Warrant shall be canceled upon the full Exercise of this Warrant or upon
full redemption of this Warrant. If this Warrant is not Exercised in
full, Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant (containing terms
identical to this Warrant) representing any unexercised portion of this Warrant
in addition to any Exercise Shares.
(f) Holder of Record. Each person in
whose name any Warrant for shares of Series A Preferred is issued shall, for all
purposes, be deemed to be the Holder of record of such shares on the Date of
Exercise of this Warrant, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Series A
Preferred purchased upon the Exercise of this Warrant or the date such Series A
Preferred is credited to the Holder’s DTC account, as the case may be. Nothing
in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder any rights as a
stockholder of the Company.
(g) Delivery of Electronic
Shares. In lieu of delivering physical certificates
representing the Series A Preferred issuable upon Exercise or redemption, upon
the written request of any Holder, the Company shall use its best efforts to
transmit certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred to such Purchaser by
crediting the account of the transferee’s Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC
through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system. Any
delivery not effected by electronic transmission shall be effected by delivery
of physical certificates.

this Warrant in cash, bank or cashier’s check or wire transfer (a “Cash

option, may exercise this Warrant in a cashless exercise transaction. In order
to effect a Cashless Exercise, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant at the
principal office of the Company together with the Exercise Form attached hereto

cashless election, in which event the Company shall issue Holder a number of
shares of Series A Preferred computed using the following formula (a “Cashless
Exercise”):
X = Y
(A-B)/A
where: X
= the number of shares of Series A Preferred to be issued to
Holder.
Y = the
number of shares of Series A Preferred for which this Warrant is being
Exercised.
A = the
Series A Price of one (1) share of Series A Preferred.
B = the
Exercise Price.
For
purposes of Rule 144 and subsection (d)(3)(ii) thereof, it is intended,
understood and acknowledged that any Exercise Shares issued in a Cashless
Exercise transaction and/or any shares issued in a redemption pursuant to
Section 4(b)(ii) shall be deemed to have been acquired at the time this Warrant
was issued. Moreover, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the
holding period for any Exercise Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise transaction
and/or any shares issued in a redemption pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) shall be
deemed to have commenced on the date this Warrant was issued.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, on the Expiration Date, any outstanding portion
of this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via a Cashless
Exercise.
(b) Dispute
Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination
of any closing price, trading price or any other stock price or the arithmetic
calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price, any Redemption Price or any
similar calculation, the Company will issue or instruct the Transfer Agent to
issue to the Holder the Shares representing the number of Shares that is not
disputed or pay to the Holder the amount that is not disputed and will transmit
an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the
Holder via facsimile within one Business Day of receipt, or deemed receipt, of
the Exercise Notice or Change of Control Redemption Notice, or other event
giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be. If the Holder and
the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within
one Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being
transmitted to the Holder, then the Company will within two Business Days submit
via facsimile or by other electronic means (A) the disputed determination of the
closing price, the trading price or such other stock price to an independent,
reputable investment bank agreed to by the Company and the holders of a majority
in interest of the Warrants involved in the transaction (whether an Exercise,
redemption or otherwise) for which such determination is required, or (B) the
disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exercise Price, Market Price, any Change
of Control Redemption Price or any similar calculation to the Company’s
independent, outside accountant or such other independent accountants agreed to
by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants
involved in the transaction (whether an Exercise, redemption or otherwise) for
which such calculation is required. The Company, at its expense, will
cause the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the
determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of the
results no later than three Business Days from the time it receives the disputed
determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or
accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, will be binding
upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
Section
4. Adjustments Upon Certain
Events.
(a) Subdivisions, Splits and
Combinations of Stock. If the outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred will be subdivided into a greater number of such shares or will be
combined into a smaller number of such shares, then upon the effective date
thereof, the number of shares of Series A Preferred which Holder shall be
entitled to purchase upon Exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or
decreased, as the case may be, in direct proportion to the increase or decrease
in the number of shares of Series A Preferred by reason of such subdivision or
combination, and the
Exercise Price shall be, in the case of an increase in the number of shares,
proportionally decreased and, in the case of decrease in the number of shares,
proportionally increased.
(b) Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(i) Reorganization,
Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any (i)
capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar
transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing
immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of
the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger,
consolidation or reorganization; or (iv) sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (each of
(i) – (iv) above a “Corporate
Reorganization”) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best
efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each
Warrantholder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and
receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in
lieu of the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such
Warrantholder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (“Acquirer”),
receivable upon such Corporate Reorganization by a Warrantholder of the number
of shares of Series A Preferred which might have been purchased by the
Warrantholder immediately prior to such Corporate Reorganization, and in any
such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and
interest of the Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including
without limitation, provisions for the adjustment of the Exercise Price and the
number of shares issuable hereunder and the provisions relating to the Cashless
Exercise) shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock or
other securities and property thereafter deliverable upon exercise
hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring
entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial
reporting purposes, the “Acquirer” shall be deemed to be the parent of such
consolidated group for purposes of this Section 4(b)(i) and Appendix A
hereto.
Moreover,
appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of
each Warrantholder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without
limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares
of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not
effect any such Corporate Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with
the consummation thereof the successor corporation resulting from such
consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring
such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written
instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Required Warrantholders to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation
to deliver to the Warrantholders, at the last address of such holder appearing
on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other
obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Section 4(b)(i) shall
similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in
spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue
in full force and effect during the entire Term in connection with any Corporate
Reorganization, then such Corporate Reorganization shall be treated as a change
of control of the Company (“Change of
Control”) hereunder, the Holder shall be deemed to have delivered a
Change of Control Notice with respect to this Warrant and the Holder shall be
entitled to receive a Change of Control Redemption Price equal to the Warrant
Value in accordance with Sections 4(b)(ii) – (iv) hereunder.
(ii) Optional Redemption Upon
Change of Control. In addition to the rights of the Holder
under Section 4(b)(i), upon a Change of Control the Holder will have the right,
at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to redeem (a “Redemption Upon
Change of Control”) all or a portion of this Warrant. At least fifteen
(15) days prior to the consummation of any Change of Control, but, in any event,
on the first to occur of (x) the date of the public announcement of such Change
of Control if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or
(y) the day following the public announcement of such Change of Control if such
announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the Company
shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the
Holder (a “Change of Control
Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s
receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending five (5) Trading Days prior to
the consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder may exercise its
redemption rights hereunder by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control
Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption
Notice shall indicate the portion of the Warrant (the “Redeemed
Shares”) that the Holder is electing to have redeemed. The
Redeemed Shares shall be redeemed by the Company at a price (the “Change of Control
Redemption Price”) equal to the Warrant Value therefor. The
Change of Control Redemption Price shall be payable no later than the date of
the consummation of the Change of Control. The Change of Control
Redemption Price shall be paid in cash in the event that the Change of Control
results in the stockholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at
the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of Series A
Preferred (with the value of each share of Series A Preferred equal to the
Series A Price) in the event that the Change of Control results in the
stockholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at
the closing of the transaction. In the event that the stockholders of the
Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such
payment to the Warrantholders shall be also be made in both cash and shares in
the same proportion as the consideration received by the
stockholders.
(iii) Escrow; Payment of Change of
Control Redemption Price. If the Company is required to redeem
a Warrant from any Warrantholder, the Company shall not effect a Change of
Control, unless it either obtains the written agreement of the acquiring entity
that payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be made to the
Warrantholder (either in cash or shares, as the case may be) upon consummation
of such Change of Control or it shall first place into an escrow account with an
independent escrow agent, at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the closing
date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control
Escrow Deadline”), an amount (in cash or shares, as applicable) equal to
the Change of Control Redemption Price. Concurrently upon closing of such Change
of Control, the Company shall pay or deliver or shall instruct the escrow agent
to pay or deliver the Change of Control Redemption Price to the
Warrantholder. For purposes of determining the amount required to be
placed in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (iii) and without
affecting the amount of the actual Change of Control Redemption Price, the
Warrant Value of the Warrant shall be calculated as of the Trading Day
immediately preceding the date that the funds and/or shares, as applicable, are
deposited with the escrow agent.
(iv)
Injunction. If
the Company is required to redeem a Warrant from any Warrantholder, in the event
that the Company attempts to consummate a Change of Control without placing the
Change of Control Redemption Price in escrow in accordance with subsection
(iii) above or without payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price to
the Holder upon consummation of such Change of Control, the Holder shall have
the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in
the City of San Francisco to prevent the closing of such Change of Control until
the Change of Control Redemption Price is paid to the Holder, in
full.
To the
extent redemptions required by Section 4(b)(ii) are deemed or determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Warrant by the Company,
such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4, until the Change of Control
Redemption Price is paid in full, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in
part, by the Holder into shares of Series A Preferred, or in the event the
Exercise Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares of
Series A Preferred (or their equivalent) of the Acquirer pursuant to Section
4(b)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company’s
redemption of any portion of the Warrant under Section 4(b)(ii), the Holder’s
damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’
inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the
availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder.
Accordingly, any premium due under Section 4(b)(ii) is intended by the parties
to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of
its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
(c) Antidilution
Protection. The conversion price of the Series A Preferred
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to full ratchet antidilution
protection as set forth in [Section 3(d) of the Company’s Certificate of
Designation of the Preferences, Rights, Limitations, Qualifications and
Restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock], as amended from time
to time.
(d) Record
Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Series A
Preferred for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in Series A Preferred, Common Stock, Options or in
Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Series A Preferred,
Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be
deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Series A Preferred, Common
Stock, Options or Convertible Securities deemed to have been issued or sold upon
the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the
date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
(e) Other
Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions
(including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights,
phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's
Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and
the number of Exercise Shares issuable hereunder so as to protect the rights of
the Holder under this Warrant; provided that no such adjustment will increase
the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Exercise Shares issuable hereunder
as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 4.
(f) This Warrant Deemed
Outstanding. If during the period beginning on and including
the Subscription Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the Issuance
Date, the Company enters into or undertakes any action described in this Section
4, then solely for purposes of determining any adjustment under this Section 4
as a result of such action, this Warrant shall be deemed to have been
outstanding at the time of each such action.
(g) Exercise Price
Adjusted. As used in this Warrant, the term “Exercise
Price” shall mean the purchase price per share specified in
Section 3(a) of this Warrant, until the occurrence of an event stated in
this Section 4 or otherwise set forth in this Warrant, and thereafter shall
mean said price as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 4.
(h) Adjustments: Additional
Shares, Securities or Assets. In the event that at any time,
as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise,
Holder shall, upon Exercise of this Warrant, become entitled to receive shares
and/or other securities or assets (other than Series A Preferred) then, wherever
appropriate, all references herein to shares of Series A Preferred shall be
deemed to refer to and include such shares and/or other securities or assets;
and thereafter the number of such shares and/or other securities or assets shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and upon terms as nearly
equivalent as practicable to the provisions of this Section 4.
(i) Notice of
Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted
pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly mail to the
Holder a notice (an “Exercise Price
Adjustment Notice”) setting forth the Exercise Price after such
adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish
to such Holder a like Warrant setting forth (i) such adjustment or
readjustment, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and
(iii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred and the amount, if any, of
other securities or property which at the time would be received upon Exercise
of the Warrant. For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company
provides an Exercise Price Adjustment Notice pursuant to this Section 4(i),
upon the occurrence of any event that leads to an adjustment of the Exercise
Price, the Holder would be entitled to receive a number of Exercise Shares based
upon the new Exercise Price, as adjusted, for exercises occurring on or after
the date of such adjustment, regardless of whether a Holder accurately refers to
the adjusted Exercise Price in the Exercise Form.
Section
5. Fractional Interests.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issuable
upon the Exercise of this Warrant, but on Exercise of this Warrant, Holder may
purchase only a whole number of shares of Series A Preferred. If, on Exercise of
this Warrant, Holder would be entitled to a fractional share of Series A
Preferred or a right to acquire a fractional share of Series A Preferred, such
fractional share shall be disregarded and the Company shall pay for such
fractional shares in cash.
Section
6. Reservation of
Shares.
(a) Reservation. From
and after the date hereof, the Company shall at all times reserve for issuance
such number of authorized and unissued shares of (i) Series A Preferred (or
other securities substituted therefor as herein above provided) as is equal to
the number of shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon the Exercise of this
Warrant (the “Series A Reserve
Amount”) and (ii) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series A
Preferred issuable upon Exercise of this Warrants (the “Common Stock
Reserve Amount” and together with the Series A Reserve Amount, the “Required Reserve
Amounts”) The Company covenants and agrees that upon the
Exercise of this Warrant, all shares of Series A Preferred issuable upon such
Exercise and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Series
A Preferred shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of
any person or entity.
(b) Insufficient Authorized
Shares. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient
number of authorized and unreserved shares of Series A Preferred or Common Stock
equal to at least the Series A Reserve Amount or Common Stock Reserve Amount,
respectively (in each case, an “Authorized Share
Failure”), then the Company will immediately take all action necessary to
increase the Company’s authorized shares of Series A Preferred or Common Stock,
as applicable, to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the
applicable Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the
occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 90 days
after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company will hold a
meeting of its stockholders for the authorization of an increase in the number
of authorized shares of Series A Preferred or Common Stock, as
applicable. In connection with such meeting, the Company will provide
each stockholder with a proxy statement and will use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in
authorized shares and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the
stockholders that they approve such proposal.
Section
7. Noncircumvention. The
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of
its articles of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of
assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale
of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all
times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all
action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par
value of any shares of Series A Preferred receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) shall take all
such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A
Preferred upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Section
8. Default and
Redemption.
(a) Events Of
Default. Each of the following events shall be considered to
be an “Event of
Default,” unless waived by the Holder:
(i) Failure To Deliver Series A
Preferred. A Delivery Failure occurs and remains uncured for a
period of more than twenty (20) days; or at any time, the Company announces
or states in writing that it will not honor its obligations to issue Exercise
Shares upon Exercise by the Holder of this Warrant; and
(ii) Corporate Reorganization;
Change of Control. (A) with respect to an Corporate Reorganization, the
Company has failed to meet the requirements of Section 4(b)(i) prior to
effecting such Corporate Reorganization or (B) the Company has effected a Change
of Control without paying the Change of Control Redemption Price, if applicable,
to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii).
(b) Remedies, Other Obligations,
Breaches And Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Warrant
shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this
Warrant, the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, at law or in
equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive
relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual
damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will
cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such
breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any
such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled
to an injunction restraining any breach. The parties further
acknowledge that (A) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the
Holder is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate and (B) the parties
are sophisticated business parties and have been represented by sophisticated
and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s
length.
Section
9. Mechanics of Holder’s
Redemptions. In the event that the Holder has sent a
Change of Control Redemption Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii),
the Holder shall promptly submit this Warrant to the Company. If the Holder has
submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section
4(b)(ii), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption
Price to the Holder concurrently with the consummation of such Change of
Control.
Section
10. No Obligation to Net Cash
Settle this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that the Company is not permitted to issue shares of Series
A Preferred to Holder pursuant to this Warrant because the Company has
insufficient shares authorized under its Restated Articles of Incorporation, the
Company shall not be required to net cash settle or otherwise make any cash
payment to Holder to settle this Warrant by virtue of such
limitation.
Section
11. Benefits of this
Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to
confer upon any person other than the Company and Holder any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Warrant and this Warrant shall be for the sole
and exclusive benefit of the Company and Holder.
Section
12. Reserved.
Section
13. Transfer of this Warrant;
Legends and Legend Removal. The Holder may assign or transfer
some or all of its rights hereunder at any time and from time to time, subject
to compliance with the Securities Act, without the consent of the Company,
provided that such assignment or transfer complies with Section 4.1 of the
Purchase Agreement. The Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall be
subject to the legend requirements and legend removal procedures and penalties
described in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement. Holder shall
deliver a written notice to Company, substantially in the form of the Assignment
attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating
the person or persons to whom the Warrant shall be assigned and the respective
number of warrants to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the
assignment within fifteen (15) Trading Days of its receipt of a properly
completed and executed form of Assignment (the “Transfer Delivery
Period”) and any other documents required by Company Counsel, and shall
deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Warrant or Warrants of like
tenor and terms for the appropriate number of shares. This Warrant
and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant
are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this
Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.
Section
14. Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each
party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement
and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall
be commenced exclusively in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New
York County or in the United States of America for the Southern District of New
York (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient
forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service
of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by
mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
(with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices
to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any
manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PURCHASERS ENTERING INTO THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
Section
15. Replacement of
Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and
substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution
therefor, a new Warrant, but only upon execution by the Holder of a customary
lost certificate affidavit and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company for any losses in connection therewith, the fees and expenses of which
shall be borne by the Holder. If a replacement certificate or
instrument evidencing this Warrant is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the
Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a
condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.
Section
16. Reissuance of
Warrant. In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant,
the Company will promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder, upon
tender by the Holder of this Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor representing
the remaining unexercised Shares. The “Issuance Date” will not change
as a result of such reissuance.
Section
17. Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to
be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and
effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile (provided the sender receives a
machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission) at the facsimile

Agreement.

Registration.
(a) On
or prior to each Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a “shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the
then outstanding Registrable Securities or Registrable Securities issuable upon
exercise of then outstanding Warrants not already covered by an existing and
effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415 or, if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales
of the Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of
Registrable Securities as the Holders may reasonably specify (each, an “Initial
Registration Statement”). Each Initial Registration Statement
shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is then ineligible to register for
resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration
shall be on Form S-1) subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) and shall
contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from
the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the “Plan of
Distribution” section approved by a majority of the
Holders. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in
this subsection (a) and subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2, in the event
the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities
required to be included in an Initial Registration Statement cannot, as a result
of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering
on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform
each of the Holders thereof and file amendments to the applicable Initial
Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw such
Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration
Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable
Securities required to be included in an Initial Registration Statement and
permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form
available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary
offering; provided,
however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration
Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the
Registrable Securities in accordance with SEC Guidance, including without
limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any
SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities
permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary
offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable
efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater
number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a
Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to
be registered on such Registration Statement will (A) if applicable, first be
reduced by Registrable Securities not acquired pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement (whether pursuant to registration rights or otherwise), and (B) second
by Registrable Securities represented by holders of Shares (applied, in the case
that some Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on
the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders). In the
event the Company amends an Initial Registration Statement or files a New
Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the
Company will 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-3 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, or the New
Registration Statement (the “Remainder
Registration Statements”).
(b) The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable and, with respect to
each Initial Registration Statement or New Registration Statement, as
applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the Commission no later than the
Effectiveness Deadline (including filing with the Commission a request for
acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the
Securities Act within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Company is
notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that
such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or will not be subject to
further review and that the effectiveness of such Registration Statement may be
accelerated) and shall, subject to Section 3(c) hereof, keep each such
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
earlier of (i) such time as all of the Shares (including any securities issued
or issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution,
recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing) shall cease to
be Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the date on which the Purchasers shall
have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement or (iii) the date four years after the Effective Date (the “Effectiveness
Period”). The Company shall ensure that each Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and Prospectuses
contained therein) shall not contain any 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 Prospectuses, in the light of the
circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. Each
Registration Statement shall also cover, to the extent allowable under the
Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock
splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable
Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via
facsimile or e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement within two
(2) Business Days of the date on which the Company telephonically confirms
effectiveness with the Commission, which confirmation shall initially be the
date requested for effectiveness of a Registration Statement. The
Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City Time on the third Business Day after
the Effective Date, file a Rule 424(b) prospectus with the
Commission.
4
(c) The
Company shall not, prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statements
covering the resale of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable at, or upon
exercise or conversion of securities issued at, the Closing, prepare and file
with the Commission any registration statement under the Securities Act covering
any of its securities other than a registration statement on Form
S-8.
(d) Each
Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire not more than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this
Agreement. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named
as a selling securityholder in a Registration Statement or use the Prospectus
for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder
has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling
Stockholder Questionnaire after the deadline specified in the previous sentence,
the Company shall take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a
selling security holder in the applicable Registration Statement or any
pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent
not theretofore included) in such Registration Statement the Registrable
Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire. Each
Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire will be used by the Company in the preparation of one or more
Registration Statements covering such Holder’s Registrable Securities and hereby
consents to the inclusion of such information in such Registration
Statements.
(e) In
the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale
of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall
register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form
reasonably acceptable to the Holders, including a registration statement on
Form S-1 and maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement that
is on a form other than Form S-3 during the Effectiveness
Period.
3.
Registration
Procedures
In
connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company
shall:
(a) Not
less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement
and not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of any related
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except for annual reports on
Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and
any similar or successor reports), the Company shall furnish to the Holder
copies of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review
of such Holder (it being acknowledged and agreed that if a Holder does not
object to or comment on the aforementioned documents within such five (5)
Business Day or three (3) Business Day period, as the case may be, then the
Holder shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of such
documents). The Company shall not file any Registration Statement or
amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which a Holder reasonably objects
in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in
writing within the five (5) Business Day or three (3) Business Day period
described above, as applicable. The Company shall permit a single
firm of counsel designated by the Holders to review such Registration Statement
and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for
acceleration or effectiveness thereof) and use commercially reasonable efforts
to reflect in such documents any comments as such counsel may reasonably propose
(so long as such comments are provided to the Company at least three
(3) Business Day prior to the expected filing date) and will not request
acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such
counsel.
5
(b) (i) Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for
its Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such
additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the
Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related
Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement
(subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably
practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably
possible, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence
from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement but, except
as agreed by a Holder, not any comments that would result in the disclosure to
the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the Company; and
(iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as
set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as
so supplemented; provided,
however, that each Purchaser shall be responsible for the delivery of the
Prospectus to the Persons to whom such Purchaser sells any of the Shares
(including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act), and each
Purchaser agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with the
plan of distribution described in the applicable Registration Statement and
otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In
the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are
required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this
Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q
or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall
have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if
applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on
the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for
the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was
filed.
6
(c) Notify
the Holders (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (v) hereof,
be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in
the case of (i)(A) below, not less than three Business Days prior to such
filing, in the case of (iii) and (iv) below, not more than one Business Day
after such issuance or receipt, and in the case of (v) below, not less than one
Business Day after a determination by the Company that the financial statements
in any Registration Statement have become ineligible for inclusion therein) and
(if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than
one Business Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed
to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be
a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments
in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall
provide to each of the Holders true and complete copies of all comments that
pertain to the Holders as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of
Distribution” and all written responses thereto, but not information that the
Company believes would constitute material and non-public information); and (C)
with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any
other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains
to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” or the “Plan of Distribution”; (iii) of
the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of
any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such
purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
(in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading; provided that any and all of
such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information
otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by a Holder is required by law;
provided, further, that notwithstanding
each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential, the Holders make
no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public
information.
(d) Use
commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain
the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.
(e) Prior
to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, register or qualify, or
cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or
qualification, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably
requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during any Effectiveness Period and to do any and
all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statements; provided,
that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any
action that would subject the Company to general service of process in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject.
(f) If
requested by the Holders, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
be delivered to a transferee pursuant to any Registration Statement, which
certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement
and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such
Holders may reasonably request. In connection therewith, if required
by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall promptly after the
effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement cause an opinion of
counsel as to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement to be delivered
to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other
authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent,
which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable
Securities without legend upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable
Securities under such Registration Statement.
7
(g) Following
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(iii) through (v), as
promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a
supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will
contain 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 any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading.
(h) In
the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market, prepare and file
with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all
of the Registrable Securities, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to take
all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for
listing on the Principal Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) if
requested by any Holder, provide such Holder evidence of such listing, and (iv)
during each Effectiveness Period, use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on the Principal Trading
Market.
(i) In
order to enable the Holders to sell Shares under Rule 144, for a period
commencing on the date hereof until five years of the later of the date hereof,
and the Closing, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in
respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. During such period, if the Company is not
required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
it will prepare and furnish to the Holders and make publicly available in
accordance with Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act annual and
quarterly financial statements, together with a discussion and analysis of such
financial statements in form and substance substantially similar to those that
would otherwise be required to be included in reports required by Section 13(a)
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as well as any other information required thereby,
in the time period that such filings would have been required to have been made
under the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such
further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such Person to sell Shares without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to
furnish to the Holders so long as the Holders own Registrable Securities,
promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) 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 Holders to sell such securities pursuant to
Rule 144 without registration.
(j) The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified
statement as to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
such Holder and any Affiliate thereof, (ii) any FINRA affiliations, (iii) any
natural persons who have the power to vote or dispose of the Common Stock and
(iv) any other information as may be requested by the Commission, FINRA or any
state securities commission.
8
(k) The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or the
rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which the Company’s
securities are then listed or traded, (ii) the disclosure of such information is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration
Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The
Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information
concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Holder prior to
making such disclosure, and allow such Holder, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order
for, such information.
(l) The
Company shall cooperate with each Holder who holds Registrable Securities being
offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters as reasonably requested by
them with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive
legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such
Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations
or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, or a Holder may reasonably request and registered in such names as the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or a Holder may request, and,
within three (3) Business Days after a Registration Statement which includes
Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the Commission, the Company shall
deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to
the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Holder)
an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required
by the transfer agent in order to issue such Registrable Securities free of
restrictive legends upon the resale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement.
(m) At
the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements
to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement. The Company
shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate
disposition by the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement.
(n) The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and
all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection
therewith (including without limitation the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission).
(o) If
required by the FINRA Corporate Financing Department or any similar entity, the
Purchasers shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 2710
with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under
the Registration Statement (an “Issuer
Filing”), and the Company shall pay the filing fee required by such
Issuer Filing. The Purchasers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not
object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration
Statement.
4.
Holder
Covenants.
(a) Suspension of
Trading. At any time after the Registrable Securities are covered by an
effective Registration Statement, the Company may deliver to the Holders of such
Registrable Securities a certificate (the “Suspension
Certificate”) approved by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial
Officer of the Company and signed by an officer of the Company stating that the
effectiveness of and sales of Registrable Securities under the applicable
Registration Statement would:
9
1. materially
interfere with any transaction that would require the Company to prepare
financial statements under the Securities Act that the Company would otherwise
not be required to prepare in order to comply with its obligations under the
Exchange Act, or
2. require
public disclosure of a material transaction or event prior to the time such
disclosure might otherwise be required.
Upon
receipt of a Suspension Certificate by Holders of Registrable Securities, such
Holders of Registrable Securities shall refrain from selling or otherwise
transferring or disposing of any Registrable Securities then held by such
Holders for a specified period of time (a “Suspension
Period”) that is customary under the circumstances (not to exceed ten
(10) Trading Days). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall be
permitted to cause Holders of Registrable Securities to so refrain from selling
or otherwise transferring or disposing of any Registrable Securities on only one
(1) occasion during each six (6) consecutive month period that such Registration
Statement remains effective. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions
to enforce any required agreement of the Holders under this Section
4(a).
(b) Discontinued
Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of
Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the
occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities
under the applicable Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the
“Advice”)
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been
supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide
appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this Section
4(b).
5.
Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s
performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement shall be
borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant
to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses to be borne by the
Company referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation,
(i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and
expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market
on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed for trading, (B) with
respect to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws
(including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the
Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable
Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by
the Holders) and (C) with respect to any filing that may be required to be made
by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable
Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 2710 or similar rules, (ii)
printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing
certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the
printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities included in the applicable Registration Statement),
(iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company
so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons
retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. In no event shall the Company be responsible for
any underwriting, broker or similar fees or commissions of any Holder or, except
to the extent provided above or otherwise in any Transaction Document, any legal
fees or other costs of the Holders.
10
6.
Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the
Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers,
directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and
employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents
and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”),
as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary Prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the
Commission) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material
fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act, any state securities law, any “blue sky” laws of any
jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being,
collectively, “Violations”),
except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements,
alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon
information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates
to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable
Securities and was consented to and approved by such Holder for use in the
applicable Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) in the case of an occurrence of
an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), related to the use by a
Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified
such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to
the receipt by such Holder of the Advice, but only if and to the extent that
following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to
such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the
Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding
arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 6(c)) and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.
(b) Indemnification by
Holders. Each Holder shall, notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the
Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20
of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any
Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but
only to the extent that, such untrue statements or omissions are based solely
upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by
such Holder expressly for use therein, (ii) to the extent that such information
relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved by such Holder expressly
for use in the applicable Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form
of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) in the case of
an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(iii)-(v), to the
extent related to the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus
after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is
outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the
Advice. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder
hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise
to such indemnification obligation.
11
(c) Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any
Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from
whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and
expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of
any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and
only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely
prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties
unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists or may
arise if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party); provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at
any time for all Indemnified Parties except to the extent that an Indemnified
Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists or
may arise if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and
another Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending
Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party
(including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection
with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as
incurred, within twenty Business Days of written notice thereof to the
Indemnifying Party; provided, that the
Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that
portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such
Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to
indemnification hereunder). The failure to deliver written notice to the
Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the
Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action.
12
(d) Contribution. If
a claim for indemnification under Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by,
such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party
as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations
set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees
or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the
extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the
indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in
accordance with its terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), (A)
no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder
from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the
maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the
Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section
6. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition
to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification
provisions under the Purchase Agreement.
7.
Piggy-Back
Registrations.
(a) If
at any time after the date hereof there is not one or more effective
Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities then
outstanding or Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of then outstanding
Warrants, the Company shall notify all Holders in writing at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the
Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company
(including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary
offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration
Statements) and will, subject to Section 7(b) hereof, afford each such Holder an
opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such
Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to
include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities held by it shall, within five (5) Business Days after the
above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such
notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of
its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the
Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include
any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or
registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings
of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
13
(b) Underwriting. If the registration
statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 7 is for an
underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders. In
such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration
pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation
in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to
distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company (or, in the case of a
registration statement initiated by stockholders of the Company, the underwriter
selected by such stockholders that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if
the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that
may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated (i) in the case of a
registration statement initiated by the Company for any offering of shares by
the Company, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders, together with any
other stockholders of the Company on a pro rata basis and
(ii) in the case of a registration statement initiated by stockholders of
the Company the Holders and any other participating stockholders of
the Company on a pro rata basis. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any
such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice
to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the effective date of the applicable registration
statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
(c) Right to Terminate
Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw
any registration initiated by it under this Section 7 prior to the effectiveness
of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities
in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to
include Registrable Securities in such registration of such termination or
withdrawal. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the
Company in accordance with this Agreement.
8.
Other
Agreements.
(a) Preemptive
Rights.
1. So
long as a Purchaser owns not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Unit Shares
(or shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of such Unit
Shares) purchased under the Purchase Agreement by such Purchaser as of the time
of a determination under this Section, and subject to applicable securities
laws, each Purchaser shall have a right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of all Common
Stock Equivalents that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and
issue, other than Excluded Securities. Each Purchaser’s pro rata share is equal to
the ratio of (A) the number of outstanding Unit Shares (including all
shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of such Unit Shares)
of which such Purchaser is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the
issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents to (B) the total number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis
immediately prior to the issuance of the Common Stock Equivalents; provided, however, that such
Purchaser shall not have right of first refusal to purchase more than twenty
five percent (25%) of each offering of such Common Stock
Equivalents.
14
2. If
the Company proposes to issue any Common Stock Equivalents, it shall give each
Purchaser written
notice of its intention, describing the Common Stock Equivalents, the price and
the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the
same. Each Purchaser shall have ten (10)
Business Days from the receipt of such notice to agree to purchase its pro rata share of the Common
Stock Equivalents (except as provided above) for the price and upon the terms
and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company
and stating therein the quantity of Common Stock Equivalents to be
purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to offer or sell such Common Stock Equivalents to any Purchaser who would cause the
Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities laws by virtue of
such offer or sale.
3. If
not all of the Purchasers elect to purchase their pro rata share of the
available Common Stock Equivalents, then the Company shall promptly notify in
writing the Purchasers who do so elect and shall offer such Purchasers the right
to acquire such unsubscribed shares on a pro rata basis among such
participating Purchasers. The Purchasers shall have five (5) days
after receipt of such notice to notify the Company of its election to purchase
all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. The Company
shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the Common Stock Equivalents in
respect of which the Purchasers’ rights were not exercised, at a price not lower
and upon terms and conditions not more favorable, or in preference to the rights
granted, to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the
Purchasers pursuant to Section 8(a)(2) hereof. If the Company has not
sold such Common Stock Equivalents within such ninety (90) day period, the
Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Common Stock Equivalents, without
first offering such securities to the Purchasers in the manner provided
above.
(b) Board of
Directors.
1.
From and after the Closing, the Company shall take all appropriate action and
each Key Holder hereby agrees to vote with respect to all Capital Stock held by
such Key Holder to establish the initial size of the Board at three (3) members,
(i) one (1) of which shall be the Company’s Chairman (ii) one (1) of which shall
be designated in writing by OrbiMed to be nominated by the Company to serve as a
member of the Board (the “OrbiMed
Designee”), so long as OrbiMed (together with any Affiliates)
beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company on an as-converted basis and (iii) one (1) of which shall be an
individual with no prior affiliation with the Company or the Company’s existing
stockholders as of the Closing, which individual will be acceptable to OrbiMed
(the “Independent
Designee”). The OrbiMed Designee may, from time to time, name
an associate or advisor who shall be entitled to accompany the OrbiMed Designee
to all meetings of the Board and committees of the Board, or, in the absence of
the OrbiMed Designee, to attend such meetings as an observer, provided, that the Company
reserves the right to exclude such associate or advisor from access to any
material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes upon advice of
counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the
attorney-client privilege.
2. The
Company (including any appropriate committee thereof) shall nominate the OrbiMed
Designee and the Independent Designee for election (in case of the initial
election of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent Designee) or re-election
(including, in the case of the end of the term of the OrbiMed Designee and the
Independent Designee), as applicable, as a director of the Company as part of
the slate proposed by the Company that is included in the proxy statement (or
consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the
election of its directors, and shall use its best efforts to have the OrbiMed
Designee and the Independent Designee elected and provide the same level of
support for each of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent Designee as it
provides to other members of the Board or other persons standing for election as
a director of the Company as part of a slate proposed by the Company, so long as
OrbiMed (together with any Affiliates) beneficially owns at least 5% of the
outstanding shares of on an as-converted basis of the Company on an as-converted
basis. In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any
time by the resignation, death or disability of the OrbiMed Designee, so long as
OrbiMed (together with any Affiliates) beneficially owns at least 5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on an as-converted basis,
OrbiMed may designate another person as the OrbiMed Designee to fill the vacancy
created thereby, and the Company hereby agrees to take, at any time and from
time to time, all actions necessary to fill the vacancy as provided in the
foregoing.
15
3. The
Company shall provide each of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent Designee
with all notices, minutes, consents and other materials, financial or otherwise,
which the Company provides to the other members of the Board and committees
thereof in their capacity as such.
4. The
Company shall reimburse each of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent
Designee for his or her out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his
or her participation as a member of the Board, in a manner consistent with the
Company’s policies for reimbursing such expenses of the members of the Board. In
addition, the Company shall pay each of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent
Designee, in his or her capacity as a non-employee member of the Board, the same
compensation as to which all non-employee members of the Board are entitled, in
their capacity as such, subject to compliance with applicable law. The Company
shall indemnify each of the OrbiMed Designee and the Independent Designee to the
same extent it indemnifies its other directors pursuant to its organizational
documents and applicable law.
(c) Qualified
Auditor. The Company hereby agrees that so long as OrbiMed or
any of its affiliates holds any Capital Stock of the Company, the Company shall
continue to engage a Qualified Auditor to perform audit services.
(d) Transactions with
Affiliates. The Company shall not, without the prior written
consent of OrbiMed, enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, or permit any of
its Subsidiaries to enter into, renew, extend or be a party to, any transaction
or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease, transfer
or exchange of property or assets of any kind or the rendering of services of
any kind) with any Affiliate, director, officer or employee except (i) in the
ordinary course of business in a manner and to an extent consistent with past
practice and necessary or desirable for the prudent operation of its business,
for fair consideration and on terms no less favorable to it or its Subsidiaries
than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person
that is not an Affiliate thereof, (ii) reasonable and customary director,
officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits
(including retirement, health, stock option, and other benefit plans) and, in
the case of senior officers or director, indemnification arrangements, in each
case approved in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, and (iii)
transactions related to any tax sharing agreement between the Company and any
other Person with which the Company files a consolidated tax return or with
which the Company is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes.
(e) D&O Insurance.
The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance in an amount reasonably acceptable to the Board
and consistent with industry practice.
9.
Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In
the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations
under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this
Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for
any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that
a remedy at law would be adequate.
16
(b) No Senior Registration
Rights. Until such time as all Registrable Securities have
been registered on a Registration Statement that has been declared effective by
the Commission, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than
the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the
Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and
the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any such right to any
of its security holders or prospective security holders that are senior to the
rights of the Holders without the written consent of Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities.
(c) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such
subject matter, except for, and as provided in the Transaction
Documents.
(d) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of Sections 2 through 7 and 9 of this
Agreement, including definitions in Section 1 with respect to such sections, may
not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Company and Holders holding at least a majority of the
then outstanding Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 8
of this Agreement, including the definitions in Section 1 and the provisions of
this sentence with respect to such section, may not be amended, modified,
supplemented or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company (i) each Purchaser to which such amendment, modification, supplement or
waiver relates with respect to Section 8(a) and (ii)
OrbiMed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart
from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to
the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights
of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to
which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions
of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence.
(e) Term. The
registration rights provided to the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder,
and the Company’s obligation to keep the Registration Statements effective,
shall terminate at such time as there are no Registrable
Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5, Section 6 and
Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(f) Notices. Any
and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to
be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.
(g) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and
shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties
hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies,
obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its
rights or obligations (i) under Sections 2 through 7 hereof without the prior
written consent of Holders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities, (ii) under Section 8(a) hereof without the prior written
consent of each Purchaser to which such assignment relates or (iii) under
Section 8(b) hereof without the prior written consent of OrbiMed (other than by
merger or consolidation or to an entity which acquires the Company, including by
way of acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets). The rights of the Holders hereunder, including the right to
have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, may
be assigned by each Holder to transferees or assignees of all or any portion of

which case such registration shall be on a registration statement on Form S-1)
(the “Resale

***********
The
undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes
in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof
and prior to the effective date of any applicable Resale Registration Statement.
All notices hereunder shall be made as provided in the Agreement. In the absence
of any such notification, the Company shall be entitled to continue to rely on
the accuracy of the information in this Notice and Questionnaire.
By
signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information
contained herein in its answers to Items (1) through (7) above and the inclusion

undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company

Statement and the Prospectus.
By
signing below, the undersigned acknowledges that it understands its obligation

Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, particularly Regulation M in
connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale
Registration Statement. The undersigned also acknowledges that it understands
that the answers to this Notice and Questionnaire are furnished for use in
connection with Registration Statements filed pursuant to the Investor Rights
Agreement and any amendments or supplements thereto filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act.
The
undersigned hereby acknowledges and is advised of the following Interpretation
A.65 of the July 1997 SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations
regarding short selling:
“An
Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of
common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling
stockholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and
cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective
date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made
before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares
underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is
made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the
shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”
By
returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be
aware of the foregoing interpretation.
I confirm
that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements
(including without limitation the answers to this Notice and Questionnaire) are
correct.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this
Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly
authorized agent.

KUN RUN
BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC.
KUN RUN
BIOTECHNOLOGY, INC. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing
under Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the "NRS"), hereby
certifies that, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors
of the Corporation (the “Board”) by its Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on
November 1, 2008 (the "Articles of Incorporation"), and pursuant to the
provisions of the NRS, the Board adopted the following resolution providing for
the authorization of 6,800,000 shares of the Corporation's Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"):
RESOLVED,
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board by the Corporation’s Articles
of Incorporation, the Board hereby establishes the Series A Preferred Stock of
the Corporation, authorizes 6,800,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
determines the designation, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
privileges of Series A Preferred Stock of the Corporation as
follows:
1. Voting
Rights.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein
or as required by law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled,
notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders' meeting in
accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation and shall vote together with the
Corporation's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), as
a single class at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common
Stock, in either case upon the following basis: each holder of shares of Series
A Preferred Stock (each, a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders") shall be
entitled to such number of votes as shall be equal to the whole number of shares
of Common Stock into which such Holder’s aggregate number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are convertible pursuant to Section 3 below immediately after
the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective
date of such written consent.
(b) The Series A Preferred Stock shall
have the following class voting rights (in addition to the voting rights set
forth in Section 1(a) hereof). So long as any shares of the Series A Preferred
Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative
vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding at the time (the “Required Holders”), given in
person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting in which the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock vote separately as a class:
(i) increase or decrease the authorized
amount of the Common Stock or any class or series of Preferred
Stock;
(ii) Any authorization or any
designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise, of any new class or
series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of
the Corporation ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred
Stock in right of redemption, liquidation preference, voting or dividend rights
or any increase in the authorized or designated number of any such new class or
series;;
1
(iii) amend, alter or repeal the
provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation,
filing of a certificate of designation or otherwise, so as to adversely affect
any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred
Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of other classes and
series of equity securities of the Corporation which by their terms do not rank
pari passu or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”) shall not
be deemed to adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting
powers;
(iv) consummate an Acquisition or Asset
Transfer as defined in Section 2(c) herein;
(v) repurchase or redeem shares of
Common Stock (other than as permitted by Section 5(b) hereof);
(vi) amend or waive any provision of
the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Corporation so as to affect
materially and adversely any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the
Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that any creation and issuance of
another series of Junior Stock shall not be deemed to adversely affect such
rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers;
(vii) increase or decrease the
authorized size of the Corporation’s Board of Directors;
(viii) pay or declare dividends on or
make any distribution to any shares of Common Stock or any class or series of
Preferred Stock; or
(ix) issue debt in excess of $250,000
(unless such issuance of debt has been approved by a majority of the
Corporation’s Board of Directors).
(c) Election
of Board of Directors.
(i) The
holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a
single class on an as-if-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect all members
of the Corporation’s Board of Directors at each meeting or pursuant to each
consent of the Corporation’s stockholders for the election of directors, and to
remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the
resignation, death or removal of such directors.
2.
Liquidation Rights.
(a) Upon any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a
“Liquidation Event”), after payment or provision for payment of debts and other
liabilities of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made
to the holders of any other equity securities of the Corporation by reason of
their ownership thereof, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall first be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series
A Preferred Stock equal to $1.53 (the “Original Series A Issue Price”), plus any
declared and accrued but unpaid dividends thereon (collectively, the “Series A
Liquidation Value”).
(b) After payment has been made to the
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the full amount of the Series A
Liquidation Value, any remaining assets of the Corporation (or the
consideration received by the Corporation or its stockholders in such
Acquisition or Asset Transfer) shall be distributed
ratably to the holders of the Corporation's Common Stock and Series A Preferred
Stock (on an as-if-converted to Common Stock basis) .
2
(c) In the case of any merger,
consolidation, business combination, reorganization or recapitalization of the
Corporation (other than any merger effected solely for the purpose of changing
the domicile of the Corporation) in which the Corporation is not the surviving
entity or in which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such
transaction own capital stock representing less than 50% of the Corporation’s
voting power immediately after such transaction or any transaction or series of
related transactions in which capital stock representing in excess of 50% of the
Corporation’s voting power is transferred (each, an “Acquisition”) or a sale,
conveyance, transfer, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation (each, an “Asset
Transfer”), the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive the amount of cash, securities or other property which such Holders
would be entitled to receive in a Liquidation Event pursuant to sections 2(a)
and 2(b).
(d) If, upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation
shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders of Series A
Preferred Stock, then such assets shall be distributed among the Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the
full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively
entitled.
(e) Whenever any distribution provided
for in this Section 2 shall be payable in securities or property other than
cash, the value of such distribution shall be the fair market value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board.
3.
Conversion Rights. The Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have
the following rights with respect to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock
into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3:
(a) Conversion. Subject to
and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3, any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock may, at the option of the Holder thereof, be converted at any
time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The
number of shares of Common Stock to which a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying
the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted by the
then-effective Series A Conversion Rate (determined in accordance with Section
3(b) below).
(b) Series A Conversion
Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Conversion Rate") shall be the quotient
obtained by dividing the Series A Liquidation Value by the then-effective Series
A Conversion Price (determined in accordance with Section 3(c)
below).
(c) Series A Conversion
Price. The conversion price for Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series
A Conversion Price”) initially shall be the Original Series A Issue
Price. The Series A Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 3(d) and all references herein to the Series A Conversion
Price shall mean the Series A Conversion Price as so adjusted.
(d) Adjustment to the Series A
Conversion Price.
(i) If, at any time or from time to
time after the filing of this Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of
State of the State of Nevada (the "Original Series A Filing Date"), the
Corporation shall issue, or is deemed to issue by the express provisions of this
Section 3(d), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without
consideration or for consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, then
and in such event (except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(d)) the
Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently
with such issue, to the lowest price at which any of the Additional Stock are
issued.
3
(ii) No adjustment of the Series A
Conversion Price for any Series A Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount
less than one cent per share; provided that any adjustments which are not
required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and
shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three
years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried
forward. No adjustment of such Series A Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section 3(d) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion
Price above the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment.
(iii) In the case of the issuance of
Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or
other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Corporation for any underwriting
or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(iv) In the case of the issuance of the
Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the
consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as
determined in good faith by the Board of the Corporation .
(v) Additional Stock; Certain Issues
Excepted. For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of
the Series A Preferred Stock required under this Section 3(d), “Additional
Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed
to be issued pursuant to this Section 3 (including shares of Common Stock
subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation), other than the
following, for which, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price
upon: (A) a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Corporation; (B)
issuance of securities pursuant to a bona fide acquisition of another business
entity or business segment of any such entity by the Corporation pursuant to a
merger, purchase of substantially all the assets or any type of reorganization
provided that (1) the Corporation will own more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting power of such business entity or business segment of such entity
and (2) such transaction is approved by the Board of Directors; (C) securities
issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable
securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the Original Series A Filing
Date or issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 17,
2010 entered into by and among the Corporation, the Purchasers (as defined
therein) and the Key Stockholder (as defined therein) (so long as the terms
governing the conversion or exercise price of such securities are not amended to
lower such price and/or adversely affect the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock); (D) securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license
agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not
for the primary purpose of raising capital and are approved by the Board of
Directors; (E) Common Stock issued or the issuance or grants of options to
purchase Common Stock, in each case, at no less than the then-applicable fair
market value, pursuant to equity incentive plans that are adopted and approved
by the Corporation’s Board of Directors; (F) securities issued at no less
than the then-applicable fair market value to advisors or consultants
(including, without limitation, financial advisors and investor relations firms)
in connection with any engagement letter or consulting agreement, provided that
any such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors; (G) securities issued
to financial institutions or lessors in connection with reasonable commercial
credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions, provided that
any such issue is approved by the Board of Directors).
4
(vi) In the event the Corporation at
any time or from time to time after the Original Series A Filing Date fixes a
record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of
Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the
holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common
Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents") without payment of any consideration by such
holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents
(including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend
distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Series A
Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of
shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such
Common Stock Equivalents with the number of shares issuable with respect to
Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for
deemed issuances in Section 3(d)(v).
(vii) If the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Series A Filing Date is
decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then,
following the record date of such combination, the Series A Conversion Price
shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(viii) For
the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 3(d), if the
Corporation issues or sells (x) preferred stock or other stock, options,
warrants, purchase rights or other securities convertible into, Additional Stock
(such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible
Securities”) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of Additional Stock
or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price (as defined
below) of such Additional Stock is less than the Series A Preferred Stock
Conversion Price, in each case the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at
the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the
maximum number of Additional Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof
and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount
equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the
Corporation for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities
plus:
(A) in
the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if
any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options;
and
(B) in
the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if
any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion thereof (other than by
cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
Securities); provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot
be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective
clauses, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of
consideration without reference to such clauses.
(C) If
the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise
or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time
or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason
of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the
figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided
further, that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation
upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible
Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again
recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or
Convertible Securities.
5
(D) No
further adjustment of the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price, as adjusted
upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be
made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Stock or the exercise of
any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible
Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege
represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been
exercised, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price as adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted
to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price which would have been in effect
had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Stock so
issued were the Additional Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the
exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible
Securities, and such Additional Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of
all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration
received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted,
plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than
by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities, provided that such
readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series
Preferred.
The
“Effective Price” of Additional Stock shall mean the quotient determined by
dividing the total number of shares of Additional Stock issued or sold, or
deemed to have been issued or sold by the Corporation under this Section 3, into
the aggregate consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the
Corporation for such issue under this Section 3, for such shares of
Additional Stock. In the event that the number of shares of
Additional Common Stock or the Effective Price cannot be ascertained at the time
of issuance, such Additional Stock shall be deemed issued immediately upon the
occurrence of the first event that makes such number of shares or the Effective
Price, as applicable, ascertainable.
(e) Other Distributions. In
the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of
other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other
persons, assets (excluding cash dividends), securities or options or rights not
referred to in Section 3(d), then, in each such case for the purpose of this
Section 3(e), the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which their shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to
receive such distribution.
(f) Recapitalizations. If at
any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common
Stock (other than a subdivision, combination, merger or sale of assets
transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3 or Section 2) provision
shall be made so that the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall
thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the
Corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon
conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any
case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions
of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of
this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price then in
effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable.
(g) Treasury Shares. The
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include
shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, if any, and the
disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale
of Common Stock.
6
(h) No Impairment. The
Corporation shall not, by the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or
through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be
observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but at all times shall in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3
and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
order to protect the conversion rights of the Holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock, against impairment.
(i) Mechanics of
Conversion. Before any Holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, such Holder shall
surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office
of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock,
and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate
office of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or
names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to
be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter,
issue and deliver at such office to such Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or
to the nominee or nominees of such Holder, a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as
aforesaid, together with any cash dividends declared but unpaid on such shares
of Series A Preferred Stock. In case the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered
pursuant to Section 3(a) above exceeds the number of shares converted, the
Corporation shall, upon conversion, execute and deliver to the Holder (at the
expense of the Corporation) a new certificate or certificates for the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered but not converted. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
business on the date of such surrender of the shares of such Series A Preferred
Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes
as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such
date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten
offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the conversion may, at the option of any Holder tendering such Series A
Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the
underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event
the person(s) entitled to receive Common Stock upon conversion of such Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Series A Preferred
Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of
securities.
(j) Certificate of
Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the
Series A Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the
Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, prepare a certificate showing
such adjustment or readjustment and furnish such certificate to each registered
Holder of Series A Preferred Stock. Such certificate shall set forth
such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (A) the
consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any
additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued
or sold, (B) the Series A Conversion Price in effect before and after such
adjustment, (C) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold
or deemed to have been issued or sold and (D) the type and amount, if any,
of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock.
7
(k) Notices of Record
Date. Upon (i) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the
holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution or (ii)
any Acquisition, Asset Transfer or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, in each case the Corporation shall
furnish to each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least 20 days prior to the
record date specified therein a notice specifying (1) the date on which any such
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a
description of such dividend or distribution, (2) the date on which any such
Acquisition, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected
to become effective and (3) the date, if any, that is to be fixed for
determining the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) that
shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities)
for securities or other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, Asset
Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
(l) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon
Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of
effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such
number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to
effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and
if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock
shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be
available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will
take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary
to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of
shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation,
engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any
necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.
(m) Fractional Shares. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions
thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred
Stock by a Holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determination
whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional
share. If, after such aggregation, the conversion would result in the
issuance of any fractional share, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, the
Corporation shall round the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
nearest whole number.
4. Dividend
Rights.
(a) Holders
of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall
be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors (the
“Board”), but only out of funds that are legally available therefor, cash
dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) of the Original Series A Issue Price
per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock. Such
dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Board and shall
be non-cumulative.
(b) So
long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation
shall not pay or declare any dividend, whether in cash or property, or make any
other distribution on the Common Stock, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire
for value any shares of Common Stock until all dividends as set forth in
Section 5(a) above on the Series Preferred shall have been paid or declared and

Corporation to repurchase such shares at cost (or the lesser of cost or fair
market value) upon termination of services to the Corporation;
(ii) acquisitions
of Common Stock in exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal to

5.
Transferability. The Series A Preferred Stock and any shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof, may only be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged
or otherwise disposed of ("Transfer") in accordance with state and federal

substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate.
6.
Amendment and Waiver. This Certificate of Designation shall not be
amended, either directly or indirectly or through merger or consolidation with
another entity, in any manner that would alter or change the powers, preferences
or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them
materially and adversely without the affirmative vote of the Required
Holders. Any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms or
provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Required Holders, whether
prospectively or retroactively effective, shall be binding upon all Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock.

Corporation (an affidavit of the registered Holder shall be satisfactory) of the
ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate
evidencing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation (provided that if the Holder is a financial institution or other
institutional investor its own agreement shall be satisfactory) or in the case
of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation, at
its expense, shall execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new
certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class
represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.
8.

Agreement.

will not, and each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and
