NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | EXCHANGE. |
(a) Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions with respect to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, at the Closing the Investor and the Company shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange (the “Exchange”) the Warrants for 6,186,377 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) . Notwithstanding anything herein, if the Investor would otherwise beneficially own in excess of any beneficial ownership limitation applicable to the Investor after giving effect to the Exchange, the Investor’s Warrants shall be exchanged for a number of Shares issuable to the Investor without violating the applicable beneficial ownership limitation and the remainder of the Investor’s Warrants shall automatically convert into pre-funded warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The form of pre-funded warrant is set forth as Exhibit A.
i. Closing. The issuance of the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be (the “Closing”), shall occur at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 000 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. The date and time of the Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below are satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and each Investor) (the “Closing Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares within 2 trading days of the date on which the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 are satisfied or waived, or as to shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants within 2 trading days of the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Company shall pay to the Investor, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or underlying shares subject to such delivery obligation (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date hereof as to Shares and of the applicable Notice of Exercise as to shares underlying Prefunded Warrants), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the applicable due date until such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Investor.
ii. Consideration. At the Closing, the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be issued to the Investor in exchange for the Warrants without the payment of any additional consideration.
iii. Delivery. In exchange for the Warrants, the Company shall, at the Closing, (i) cause American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (together with any subsequent transfer agent, the “Transfer Agent”) through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Shares to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system and (ii) if applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor Pre-Funded Warrants. As of the Closing Date, all of the Investor’s rights under the Warrants shall be extinguished.
