As of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Reports and Other Written Information contain all material information relating to the Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates required to be disclosed therein.

The Reports and Other Written Information including the financial statements included therein do 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, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances and when made.

(k) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the Offering and any Additional Offering, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. 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).
(l) Defaults. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation
9
would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters which default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the OTCBB, except for in connection with an Additional Offering [as defined in Section 12(a)]. No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or suffer any inaction or conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities or that would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.
(n) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 0000 Xxx) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
(o) No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company has no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since December 31, 2010, and which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since December 31, 2010, except as disclosed in the Reports, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports.
(q) Dilution. The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company. The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.
(r) No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers. There are no material disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by the Company, including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers, nor have there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing Date.

7.1. Conversion of Notes.
(a) Upon the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of a Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h). If and when a Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration has been filed with the Commission, is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend, provided that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.
(b) Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its Note, interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed facsimile transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement. Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”). In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber. A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original Note to the Company.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof later than the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Subscribers. As compensation to Subscribers for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to each applicable Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Note principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts) being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscribers, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in connection with the Company’s default shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.
14
7.2. Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election. In the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Note, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), that continues beyond any applicable cure period, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, or (iv) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the Subscriber’s election, the Company must pay to each Subscriber not later than ten (10) days after request by such Subscriber, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by each such Subscriber by, at Subscriber’s election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) days preceding the date demand is made by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents (“Mandatory Redemption Payment”). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by each Subscriber on the same date as the Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory Redemption Payment Date”). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. The Subscriber may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is actually received. Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the ten day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid. For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the Company becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company, or (iii) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, unless prior written Consent of the Subscribers had been obtained by the Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, Subscriber may demand and receive from the Company the amount stated above or any other greater amount which Subscriber is entitled to receive or demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
7.3. Maximum Conversion. A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of a Note nor may the Company make any payment including principal, interest, or liquidated or other damages by delivery of Conversion Shares in connection with that number of Conversion Shares which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date or payment date, and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership by Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 7.3 will limit any conversion of a Note and the extent such limitation applies and to which convertible or exercisable instrument or part thereof such limitation applies. The Subscriber may waive the application of the permitted beneficial ownership amount, including with respect to payment of interest in shares of Common Stock, or increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount, by designating such higher amount on such Subscriber’s signature page to this Agreement and also
15
following the Closing upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company. Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% permitted beneficial ownership amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above the permitted beneficial ownership amount as described above.
7.4. Injunction Posting of Bond. In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof, or exercise a Warrant, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that Subscriber or any one associated or affiliated with Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, a final non-appealable injunction from a court made on notice to Subscriber, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note or exercise of such Warrant shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the greater of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the Note, or aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares, or 120% of the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to Subscriber to the extent the judgment or decision is in Subscriber’s favor.
7.5. Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscribers, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date Subscriber or a broker on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Subscriber of the Common Stock which Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay to Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion request was not timely honored together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of Note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay Subscriber $1,000 plus interest. Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice and evidence indicating the amounts payable to Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
7.6. Redemption. The Note shall not be redeemable or callable by the Company, except as described in the Note.
8. Fees.
(a) Broker’s Commission. The Company on the one hand, and each Subscriber (for such Subscriber only) on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or similar fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. The Company represents that to the best of its knowledge, except for Xxxxxx Xxxxx Securities, Inc., there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the Offering. The Company agrees to pay Xxxxxx Xxxxx Securities, Inc., upon Closing the fees described on Schedule 8(a) hereto (“Broker’s Fees”). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber. The liability of the Company and each Subscriber’s liability hereunder is several and not joint.
16
(b) Other Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

Except for the issuance of additional Notes and other Securities in any Additional Offering and the issuance of securities or
21
options described in Section 12(a)(iii), until the Notes are fully satisfied or converted, the Company will not, without the consent of a Majority in Interest, (A) enter into an agreement to issue nor modify any outstanding debt or right to acquire debt unless the proceeds of such debt are used to satisfy the Notes in full at the Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes) or (B) enter into an agreement to modify the terms of any equity securities outstanding on the date of this Agreement on terms more favorable than those granted to Subscribers herein.

(s) Notices. For so long as the Subscribers hold any Notes or Warrants, the Company will maintain a United States address and United States fax number for notice purposes under the Transaction Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) nothing contained in this Section 9(w) shall prevent the Company from amending any
22
already filed registration statement for reasons other than to increase the amount of Common Stock registered therein or reduce the price of which such company securities are registered therein and (ii) the Company may grant registration rights to the purchasers of Notes and other Securities in any Additional Offering on substantially the same terms and on a pari passu basis with the registration rights granted to the Subscribers hereunder.

The Company will file a preliminary proxy statement for a meeting of the Company’s shareholders relating to the Reservation with the Commission on or before May 18, 2012 (“Proxy Filing Date”). The Company covenants to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Reservation Approval. Failure to obtain the Reservation Approval on or before June 30, 2012 (a “Reservation Default”) is an Event of Default under the Note for which liquidated damages will accrue at the rate of two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days, or pro rata portion thereof, during the pendency of such Reservation Default.
(y) Lockup Agreement. The Company will deliver to the Subscribers on or before the Closing Date and enforce the provisions of irrevocable lockup agreements (“Lockup Agreement”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, with the persons identified on Schedule 9(y) with respect to the Common Stock and rights to acquire Common Stock set forth on Schedule 9(y). The Subscribers acknowledge and agree that for purposes of the Lockup Agreement the term “Closing Date” used therein shall mean the date of the Initial Closing.
10. Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscribers, the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, counsel, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation or warranty, or material misrepresentation, by Company in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto in any Transaction Document, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, now or after the date hereof; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.
(b) In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Registrable Securities (as defined herein).
23
11.1. Registration Rights. The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the Securities.
(i) The Company shall file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act on or before April 15, 2012 (the “Filing Date”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable following the Filing Date (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of its effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 within three (3) business days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed, or not be subject to further review), but in any event no later than June 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”). Subject to the Reservation Approval described in Section 9(x) herein, the Company will register not less than a number of shares of common stock in the aforedescribed Registration Statement that is equal to 100% of the Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of all the Notes issuable on the Closing Date including interest for the entire term of the Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively the “Registrable Securities”). Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock issuable under or upon conversion of the Air Notes (as defined in the Additional Investment Rights) or any Warrant Shares issuable under the Air Warrants (as defined in the Additional Investment Rights). Registrable Securities shall not include any Conversion Shares, shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of interest under the Notes, or Warrant Shares that have been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or that may be resold under Rule 144 without volume limitations. Registrable Securities includes all Warrant Shares without giving effect to the holder’s right to exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis. In the event of any Additional Offering, the Company may also register in the aforedescribed Registration Statement that number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to 100% of the Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of all the Notes issuable on the closing of the Additional Offering including interest for the entire term of the Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issuable on the closing of the Additional Offering (the “Additional Registrable Securities”). In the event that the Company is required by the Commission pursuant to Rule 415 of the 1933 Act to cutback the number of shares being registered in the Registration Statement, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities and Additional Registrable Securities proportionately among the holders of such Securities based on the amount of Registrable Securities and Additional Registrable Securities included therein for each of the holders (“Registration Cutback”). The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, pro rata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each Subscriber and Warrant holder. Not later than twenty (20) days after first being permitted by applicable Commission rules and regulations, the registration statement will be amended by the Company or additional registration statements will be filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. Without the written consent of a Majority in Interest, no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities and the Additional Registrable Securities will be included in the Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a default of the Company’s obligations if at any time after the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Holders fewer than 90% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein (the difference between the amount required to be registered therein and the actual amount of shares registered being the “Shortfall”). In such event, subject to receipt of the Reservation Approval, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 125% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein to be registered within forty-five (45) days after the first day such Shortfall exists. Failure to file the registration statement in accordance with the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the first day such Shortfall first exists or failure to cause such registration to become effective within forty-five (45) days after such Shortfall first exists shall be included in the definition of a Non-Registration Event set forth in Section 11.4.
(ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both,
24
except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller” or “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction.
(iii) The Subscribers hereby acknowledge that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of a prospectus until such time as an amendment to the related registration statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission or until the Company has amended or supplemented such prospectus. Each Subscriber hereby covenants that it will not sell any securities pursuant to any prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Sellers notice of the suspension of the use of such prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Sellers notice that the Sellers may thereafter effect sales pursuant to such prospectus. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not suspend use of any registration statement by the Sellers unless in the good faith determination of the Company such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected registration statement or the related prospectus as required by the federal securities laws or so that such registration statement or prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that (X) except as otherwise provided by clause (Y) below, in the event that such suspension is required by the need for an amendment or supplement to a registration statement or a related prospectus, the Company shall promptly file such required amendments or supplements as shall be necessary for the disposition of the Registrable Securities to recommence and (Y) if the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith that offers and sales pursuant to a prospectus should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in the related registration statement would be premature or would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, the Company may suspend the use of such prospectus and defer the filing of any required amendment or supplement for the minimum period of time necessary to avoid such material adverse effect.
11.2. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 11.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by Section 11.1 with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the
25
holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Sellers on or before the second business day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the Notes and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of one (1) year, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement or make them electronically available;
(d) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) notify the Sellers within twenty-four (24) hours of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;
(g) provided same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the 1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers during reasonable business hours, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Sellers, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the Sellers, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement at such requesting Seller’s expense; and
(h) provide to the Sellers copies of the registration statement and amendments thereto five (5) business days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission. Any Seller’s failure to comment on any registration statement or other document provided to a Subscriber or its counsel shall not be construed to constitute approval thereof nor the accuracy thereof.
11.3. Provision of Documents. In connection with each registration described in this Section 11, each Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
26
11.4. Non-Registration Events. The Company agrees that the Sellers will suffer damages if the registration statement is not filed or is not declared effective by the Commission by the dates described herein and accordingly, if (A) due to the action or inaction of the Company a registration statement is not declared effective within five days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (B) any registration statement described in Section 11.1(i) is not filed by the Filing Date, or is not declared effective by the Effective Date or any other date set forth in Section 11.1(i), or (C) any registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i), 11.1(ii) or 11.1(iii) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded within twenty-two (22) business days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed forty (45) days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive days commencing on the effective date) (each such event shall be a “Non-Registration Event”), then the Company shall pay to the holder of Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to one-half of one percent (.5%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes and purchase price of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issued upon conversion of Notes and exercise of Warrants held by Subscribers which are subject to such Non-Registration Event with a maximum aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages not to exceed 5% of the sum of the Note principal plus aggregate actual Warrant exercise prices. The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash. The Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event a registration statement is filed but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the Commission, then such registration statement will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated accordingly. All oral or written comments received from the Commission relating to a registration statement must be responded to within ten (10) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission. Failure to timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate and amounts set forth above calculated from the date the response was required to have been made. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with Registrable Securities for such times as such Registrable Securities may be sold by the holder thereof without volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Liquidated Damages will not be due in connection with Registrable Securities subject to a Registration Cutback and the Company shall not be required to pay Liquidated Damages as a result of such cutback.
11.5. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described in Section 11. Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration statement shall be borne by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares included on behalf of the Seller relative to the aggregate number of shares included under such registration statement for all Sellers, or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
27
11.6. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of the officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
11.7. Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.
(a) Delivery of Unlegended Shares. Within five days (such fifth day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock (acquired pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) held by Subscriber has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share
29
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required, Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(b) DWAC. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, provided that the Company’s Common Stock is DTC eligible and the Company’s transfer agent participates in the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any three hundred and sixty (360) day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty (30) day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty (30) day period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
(d) Injunction. In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or anyone associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has not complied with Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of the greater of (i) 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which is subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
30
(e) Buy-In. In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
(f) 144 Default. At any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, in the event the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), for any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any other filings required to be made by the Company by the required filing dates (provided that any filing made within the time for a valid extension shall be deemed to have been timely filed), or the Company’s failure to make information publicly available which would allow Subscriber’s reliance on Rule 144 in connection with sales of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, except due to a change in current applicable securities laws or because the Subscriber is an Affiliate (as defined under Rule 144) of the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty (30) days) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the purchase price of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default. Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.7(f) in connection with Shares for such times as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without any legend or volume or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.
12. (a) Favored Nations Provision. Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and which have been approved by a Majority in Interest, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements and other bona fide partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and which have been approved by a Majority in Interest, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d) as such plans are constituted on the Closing Date or contemplated to be amended or adopted as described on Schedule 5(d), (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the unamended terms disclosed in the Reports and which securities are also described on Schedule 12(a), (v) as a result of the exercise of Additional Investment Rights or Warrants or conversion of
31
Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement on the unamended terms in effect on the Closing Date, (vi) the offering and issuance, in one or more closings (whether prior to and/or after the Closing Date), of an additional principal amount of Notes equal to up to $4.0 million less the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the Subscribers hereunder and the issuance of corresponding Warrants and Additional Investment Rights, each on substantially the same terms and conditions as granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement (except for permitted beneficial ownership/blocker provisions and except that all time effective clauses of any Additional Offering shall be the same as those applicable to the Offering including actual commencement and end dates) for which a closing must be completed on or before February 28, 2012 (“Additional Offering”), and (vii) as a result of the exercise of Additional Investment Rights or Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued in any Additional Offering (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vii) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the a Majority in Interest, then the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price. The Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares and exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.001 per share of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustments described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of (A) the agreement to or (B) actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or options and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance. A convertible instrument (including a right to purchase equity of the Company) issued, subject to an original issue or similar discount or which principal amount is directly or indirectly increased after issuance will be deemed to have been issued for the actual cash amount received by the Company in consideration of such convertible instrument. The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 12(a) are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, Warrants, any other Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.
(b) Right of First Refusal. Until twelve (12) months following the date of the Initial Closing, the Subscribers hereunder and the purchasers of Notes in any Additional Offering (collectively, the “Purchasers”) shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Other Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances. If Purchasers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(b) (or corresponding right granted in any Additional Offering), the Purchasers shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following receipt of the notice, to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Note Principal issued to them on Closing Date or any Additional Offering closing date, as the case may be. Purchasers who participate in such Other Offering shall be entitled at their option to purchase, in proportion to each other, the amount of such Other Offering that could have been purchased by Purchasers who do not exercise their rights hereunder until up to the entire Other Offering is purchased by Purchasers. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, Purchasers shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following the notice of modification to exercise such right.
32
(c) Maximum Exercise of Rights. Except for such Subscribers who have described their beneficial ownership percentage in excess of 4.99% on their signature page herein, in the event the exercise of the rights described in Section 12(a) and Section 12(b) would or could result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Subscriber (but not the payment to the Company of the purchase price for the common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations sold in the Other Offering) will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the applicable maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement and such Subscriber notifies the Company accordingly.
13. Special Conditions. The Company issued promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”) to the persons and entities identified on Schedule 13 hereto (“Bridge Lenders”), in the principal amounts and on the dates indicated thereon. The amount outstanding to the Bridge Lenders in connection with the Bridge Notes as of the Initial Closing is set forth on Schedule 13 (“Outstanding Bridge Debt”). On the date of the Initial Closing, such outstanding amounts will be deemed satisfied upon issuance and delivery to the Bridge Lenders of Notes in the principal amount of the Outstanding Bridge Debt together with a corresponding amount of Warrants and Additional Investment Rights. Each of the Bridge Lenders will have delivered the Bridge Note issued to such Bridge Lender to the Company or the Company’s designee on or prior to the Closing Date to be exchanged for such Notes, Warrants and Additional Investment Rights. It is a condition to the obligation of Subscribers to purchase Notes and Warrants that all of the Outstanding Bridge Debt and Bridge Notes are exchanged for Securities either hereunder or at an earlier Initial Closing.

(d) Law Governing this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof or any other State. Any action brought by any party against any other party hereto concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of New York. The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. The parties executing this Agreement and other agreements referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such courts and hereby irrevocably waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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 other manner permitted by law.
(e) Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction. The Company and Subscribers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject to Section 14(d) hereof, the Company and each Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(f) Damages. In the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated or other damages pursuant to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages. In the event the Subscriber is granted rights under different sections of the Transaction Documents relating to the same subject matter or which may be exercised contemporaneously, or pursuant to which damages or remedies are different, Subscriber is granted the right in Subscriber’s absolute discretion to proceed under such section as Subscriber elects.
(g) Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of
34
interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscribers and thus refunded to the Company. The Company agrees that it may not and actually waives any right to challenge the effectiveness or applicability of this Section 14(g).
(h) Calendar Days. All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated. The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours. Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City. Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.
(i) Captions: Certain Definitions. The captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement the term “person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.
(j) Consent. As used in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other agreement delivered in connection herewith, “Consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means the consent of holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of each affected component of the Securities issued in the Offering and any Additional Offering on the date consent is requested (such holders being a “Majority in Interest”). A Majority in Interest may consent to take or forebear from any action permitted under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, modify any Transaction Documents or waive any default or requirement applicable to the Company, Subsidiaries or Subscribers under the Transaction Documents provided the effect of such action does not waive any accrued interest or damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Subscribers to each other remains unchanged.
(k) Severability. In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(l) Successor Laws. References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms. A successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company for the sale of Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding period.
(m) Maximum Liability. In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted assign hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Conversion Shares.
(n) Independent Nature of Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations
35
of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(o) Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their permitted successors and assigns.
(p) Adjustments. The conversion price, Warrant exercise price, amount of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.

Equity Plans:
The 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2001 Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to eligible employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. During 2008, the Board of Directors authorized and the stockholders approved an amendment of the 2001 Plan to increase the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2001 Plan from 8,250,000 to 9,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and to increase the number of shares of restricted common stock authorized for issuance under the 2001 Plan from 1,500,000 to 2,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the plan, stock options may not be granted at less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant and for a term not to exceed ten years. Effective March 22, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Cambridge Heart, Inc. 2001 Plan in order to extend until December 31, 2011 the date until which awards may be granted under the 2001 Plan.
Given the impending expiration of the 2001 Plan, the Company contemplates that it will further extend the 2001 Plan and/or replace the 2001 Plan with a comparable omnibus equity incentive plan, and in connection with such extension or replacement, as the case may be, the Company may increase the number of shares issuable thereunder. For so long as the Notes are outstanding, shares issued under the 2001 Plan or any amendment thereto or replacement thereof, will not be issued with an exercise price less than the Conversion Price.
Options granted under all of the Company’s equity incentive plans generally vest annually over a three to four year vesting period. Certain stock option awards are subject to accelerated vesting.
The Company has 5,188,858 non-plan stock options outstanding which were granted in 2010 to senior executives, board members, and consultants. Although granted outside of the 2001 Plan, the options nevertheless are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2001 Plan as if granted thereunder.
Rights to Participate:
On November 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with two current shareholders of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the Bridge Notes financing agreement, the Bridge Notes will convert automatically upon the closing of an offering by the Company of equity securities or debt convertible into equity securities on or before December 31, 2011, in a single or series of related closings, with immediately available gross proceeds of at least $2,500,000, excluding amounts represented by the Bridge Notes (a “Qualified Financing”), into securities with the same rights, priorities and privileges as are purchased in the Qualified Financing, based on a conversion ratio equal to the principal amount of the Bridge Notes divided by the price per share paid in the Qualified Financing in the case of an equity financing, or into a debt instrument or instruments of the same class and series issued to other investors in the Qualified Financing, including any warrants issued in connection therewith, having an original principal amount equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Bridge Notes in the case of a convertible debt financing.
In the event that the Company completes an equity financing that does not qualify as a Qualified Financing (a “Financing”), then the holders of the Bridge Notes will, in most circumstances, have the option to convert the Bridge Notes into securities with the same rights, priorities and privileges as are purchased in the Financing, based on a conversion ratio equal to the principal amount of the Bridge Notes divided by the price per share paid in the Financing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Offering may not constitute a Qualified Financing, the holders of the Bridge Notes intend to exercise their option to convert the Bridge Notes into Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $600,000 in connection with the Offering, and the Bridge Note holders will receive a corresponding amount of Warrants and Additional Investment Rights.
