laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or similar rights of stockholders.
The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly
authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents and the Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable, 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 Shares and the Warrant Shares 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 the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the
Warrants set forth in the Warrants). 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, 100% of the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into
account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the
Warrants).
9
(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) is set forth in Schedule 3.1(g) hereto. The Company has not issued
any capital stock since the date of its most recently filed SEC Report other
than to reflect stock option and warrant exercises that do not, individually
or
in the aggregate, have a material affect on the issued and outstanding capital
stock, options and other securities. No Person has any right of first refusal,
preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate
in
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that have not been
effectively waived as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(g)
or a
result of the purchase and sale of the Shares, there are no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character
whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into
or
exercisable or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe
for
or acquire any shares of Common Stock, or contracts, commitments, understandings
or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound
to
issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. The
issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares
of
Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers)
and
will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the
exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities.
All
of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, 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 securities. There are no stockholders
agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements 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.

Materials”)
on a
timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has
filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension, except
where the failure to file on a timely basis would not have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (including, for the definition
of Material Adverse Effect in this paragraph (h) only, any failure to qualify
to
register the Shares for resale on Form S-3 or which would prevent any Purchaser
from using Rule 144 to resell any Shares). As of their respective filing
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
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has
never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act. Each

the Material Contracts to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or
to
which the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are

regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time
of
filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement). Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis during the periods 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 financial position of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries taken as a whole as of and for the dates thereof and the results
of
operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case
of
unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments.
(j) Material
Changes.
Since
the date of the latest financial statements included within the SEC Reports,
except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to
the
date hereof, (i) there have been no events, occurrences or developments that
have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in
the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any
material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables

accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company's

connection with repurchases of unvested stock issued to employees of the
Company) and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any
officer, director or Affiliate, except Common Stock issued in the ordinary
course as dividends on outstanding preferred stock or issued pursuant to
existing Company stock option or stock purchase plans or executive and director
compensation arrangements disclosed in the SEC Reports. Except for the issuance
of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability or
development has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective business, 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.
(k) 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 or (ii)
except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports, would, if there were an
unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably
be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary, nor to the Company’s Knowledge any director or officer thereof, is
or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or
liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of
fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the Company’s Knowledge there is not
pending or contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the
Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The
Commission has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any of
its
Subsidiaries under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(l) Employment
Matters.
No
material labor dispute exists or, to the Company’s Knowledge, is imminent with
respect to any of the employees of the Company which would have or reasonably
be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or any
Subsidiary’s employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s
relationship with the Company, and neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company
and each Subsidiary believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
No
executive officer, to the Company’s Knowledge, 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, except, in each case, matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have
a
Material Adverse Effect. 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 could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
11
(m) Compliance.
Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is 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, would result in a default by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries under), nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries received
written 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 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 in violation of, or in receipt of written 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 or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(n) 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 its respective business as currently
conducted and as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to
possess such permits, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not
have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(“Material
Permits”),
and
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of
Proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Material
Permits.
(o) Title
to Assets.
The
Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all tangible
personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as whole, in each case free and clear of all Liens
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 any of its Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held
under
lease by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries are held by them 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.
(p) Patents
and Trademarks.
To the
Company’s Knowledge, the Company and the Subsidiaries own, possess, license or
have other rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trade and service
marks, trade and service xxxx applications and registrations, trade names,
trade
secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses, technology, know-how and other
intellectual property rights and similar rights described in the SEC Reports
as
necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses
and
which the failure to so have would have or reasonably be expected to result
in a
Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or
otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company
or
any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. There is
no
pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or
claim by any Person that the Company’s business as now conducted infringes or
otherwise violates any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other
proprietary rights of another. To the Company’s Knowledge, there is no existing
infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights that
would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
To
the
Company’s Knowledge, all patent applications and patents within the Intellectual
Property Rights have been prosecuted with a duty of candor, and there is no
material fact known by the Company that would preclude the issuance of patents
with respect to said patent applications or that would render any issued patents
invalid or unenforceable in a manner that would have, or would reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending or, to the
Company’s Knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by another
Person challenging the Company’s rights in or to any material Intellectual
Property Rights, or challenging inventorship, validity or scope of any such
Intellectual Property Rights. The
Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their Intellectual Property
Rights, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
12
(q) Insurance.
The
Company and each of the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts
as
the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses and locations
in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged, including, but not
limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the
aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
has received any notice of cancellation of any such insurance, nor, to the
Company’s Knowledge, will it or any Subsidiary be unable to renew their
respective existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or
to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.
(r) Transactions
With Affiliates and Employees.
Except
as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the executive 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 any
Subsidiary (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.
(s) 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 most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange
Act, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.
(t) 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 result or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures
(as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange
Act)
and
designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits
under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the
time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s
certifying officers have evaluated 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 (such date, the
“Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic
report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their
evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. 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.

arising in connection with any such right, interest or claim.
(v) Private

disclosed in the accredited investor questionnaires provided by the Purchasers,
no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale
of
the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents.
To the Company’s Knowledge, the issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder
does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

not an Affiliate of, and
immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares, will not be

Affiliate of,

not
become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
(x) Registration
Rights.
Other
than each of the Purchasers or as set forth in Schedule 3.1(x) hereto, no Person
has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company other than those securities
which are currently registered on an effective registration statement on file

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 the Exchange Act, nor has the Company

received written notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is
listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the
listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is,
and
has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue
to
be in compliance with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Trading
Market on the date hereof.
(z) Application
of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreements.
The
Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any,
in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business
combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement)
or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company's charter documents
or the laws of its state of incorporation 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.
(aa) Disclosure.

as set forth on Schedule
3.1(aa),
the
Company confirms that it has not provided, and to the Company’s Knowledge none
of its officers or directors nor any other Person acting on its or their behalf

Purchaser or its respective agents or counsel with any information that it
believes constitutes material, non-public information except insofar as the
existence, provisions and terms of the Transaction Documents and the proposed
transactions hereunder may constitute such information, all of which will be
disclosed by the Company in the Press Release as contemplated by Section 4.6
hereof. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely
on
the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company.
All
disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding
the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any
representations or warranties with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically
set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(bb) No
Integrated Offering.
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set
forth in Section 3.2, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor, to the
Company’s Knowledge, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its behalf
has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any
offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any
security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the
exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in
connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities as
contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to
the
Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company

including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading
Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or

required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes
and
other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown
or

being contested in good faith, with respect to which adequate reserves have
been

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

be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes
in
any material amount claimed to be due by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction.

There
is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company (or
any Subsidiary) and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that

disclosed and would have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

(gg) 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
thereby is merely incidental to the Purchasers’ purchase of the
Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the
Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the
transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its
representatives.
(hh) Acknowledgement
Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity.
Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding
(except for Sections 3.2(h) and 4.14 hereof), it is understood and acknowledged
by the Company (i) that none of the Purchasers have been asked by the Company
to
agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling,
long
and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on
securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified
term; (ii) that past or future open market or other transactions by any
Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or

indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Common Stock, and (iv)

over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company
further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Purchasers may engage
in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities
are
outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value
of
the Warrant Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined,
and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing
stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the
hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such
aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the
Transaction Documents.
(ii) Regulation
M Compliance.

Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i)

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 and
delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser and performance by such Purchaser
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized
by
all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such
partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on
the
part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party 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.
16
(b) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and
the
Registration 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 and, upon exercise of the Warrants, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof 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 Registration Rights Agreement, at
all
times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities or
Warrant 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 or entity; 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, and on each date on which it exercises the Warrants it will be, 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.
(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.
17
(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 the Subsidiaries and their 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 Placement Agents or
any
other Person regarding the transactions contemplated hereby, 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 purchases or sales of 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
bank
or 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 have knowledge about the financing
transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party
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, for
avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation
or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of
the
availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect
short sales or similar transactions in the future.
(i) Brokers
and Finders.
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.
(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.
Such
Purchaser understands that the Placement Agents have acted solely as the agents
of the Company in this placement of the Securities and such Purchaser has not
relied on the business or legal advice of the Placement Agents or any of their
agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder,
and
confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties
to
such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.
18
(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.
(m) Regulation
M.
Such
Purchaser is aware that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act may apply to sales of Common Stock and other activities with
respect to the Common Stock by the Purchasers.
(n) Beneficial
Ownership.
The
purchase by such Purchaser of the Securities issuable to it at the Closing
will
not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other Person
with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as
part
of a “group” in a public filing made with the Commission involving the Company’s
securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company
on
a post-transaction basis that assumes that such Closing shall have occurred.
Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others,
make
a public filing with the Commission to disclose that it has (or that it together
with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as
a
result of such Closing (when added to any other securities of the Company that
it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.999% of
the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a
post-transaction basis that assumes that each Closing shall have occurred.
(o) Residency.
Such
Purchaser’s residence (if an individual) or offices in which its investment
decision with respect to the Securities was made (if an entity) are located
at
the address immediately below such Purchaser’s name on its signature page
hereto.
The
Company and each of the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that no party to this
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, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144
(provided
that the
Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller
and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may
be
sold pursuant to such rule) or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as
contemplated in Section 4.1(b), 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, any such transferee shall agree
in
writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and
the
Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such transferred Securities.
19
(b) Legends.
Certificates evidencing the Securities shall bear any legend as required by
the
“blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the
following form, until such time as they are not required under Section
4.1(c):
[NEITHER
THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED] [THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT 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 (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR
THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM,
OR
IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS
AS
EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY
AND ITS TRANSFER AGENT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID
ACT.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION
WITH
A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY
THE
SECURITIES.
The
Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge,
and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Securities
in
connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin
agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge would not
be
subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal
counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection
with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with
a
subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee
of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but Purchaser’s
transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer
or
foreclosure. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall not be
responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest
in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement
between any Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party. At the appropriate
Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request
in
connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, including the preparation
and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the
Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to
appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Each Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c),
any Shares subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this
Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section
4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section
4.1(a).
20
(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 the Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”),
if
(i) such Securities are registered for resale under the Securities Act (provided
that, if
the
Purchaser is selling pursuant to the effective registration statement
registering the Securities for resale, the
Purchaser agrees to only sell such Securities during
such time that such registration statement is effective and not withdrawn or
suspended, and only as
permitted by such registration statement, (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, without
the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public
information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume
or
manner-of-sale restrictions. Following the earlier of (i) the Effective Date
or
(ii) Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares or Warrant Shares,
without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company shall deliver to the Transfer
Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall reissue a
certificate representing the applicable Shares or issue a certificate
representing the applicable Warrant Shares without legend upon receipt by the
Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such Shares. Any fees (with
respect to the Transfer Agent or otherwise) associated with the removal of
such
legend shall be borne by the Company. Following the Effective Date, or at such
earlier time as a legend is no longer required for certain Securities, the
Company will no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery by
a
Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent (with notice to the Company)
of
(i) a legended certificate representing such Shares or Warrant Shares (endorsed
or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form
necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer) or (ii) an Exercise Notice
in the manner stated in the Warrants to effect the exercise of such Warrant
in
accordance with its terms and an opinion of counsel to the extent required
by
Section 4.1(a), (such third Trading Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”)
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser 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.
Certificates for Shares or Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder
may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchasers by crediting the
account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by such
Purchaser.
(d) Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions.
The
Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any
subsequent transfer agent, in the form of Exhibit
E
attached
hereto (the “Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions”).
The
Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable
Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.1(d) (or instructions
that are consistent therewith) will be given by the Company to its transfer
agent in connection with this Agreement, and that the Securities shall otherwise
be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the
extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents 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.
21
(e) Acknowledgement.
Each
Purchaser hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the
Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares,
the Warrants or the Warrant Shares or any interest therein without complying
with the requirements of the Securities Act. While the above-referenced
registration statement remains effective, each Purchaser hereunder may sell
the
Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the plan of distribution contained
in the 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 the registration statement registering the resale of the Shares or the
Warrant 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 and
Warrant 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 or Warrant 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.
(f) Buy-In.
If the
Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to a Purchaser
unlegended certificates within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of all
documents necessary for the removal of the legend set forth above, including
but
not limited to the signed and completed Certificate of Sale (the “Deadline
Date”),
then,
in addition to all other remedies available to such Purchaser, if on or after
the Business Day immediately following such three (3) Trading Day period, such
Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of
Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the holder of shares of
Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without
any restrictive legend (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after such Purchaser’s request
and in such Purchaser’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in
an amount equal to such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
“Buy-In
Price”),
at
which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue
such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to such Purchaser a certificate or certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in an
amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of
(a)
such number of shares of Common Stock, times (b) the Closing Bid Price on the
Deadline Date.
4.2 Reservation
of Common Stock.
The
Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and
reserved for the purpose of issuance from and after the Closing Date, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued at
the
Closing (without taking into account any limitations on exercise of the Warrants
set forth in the Warrants).
4.3 Acknowledgment
of Dilution.
The
Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution
of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under
certain market conditions. 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 shareholders of the
Company.
4.4 Furnishing
of Information.
In
order to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing, 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 12-month period, if the Company is not required
to
file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, 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 Securities under
Rule
144.
22
4.5 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 of any security (as defined in Section
2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of
the
Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities
Act of the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers, or that will be integrated
with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and
regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder
approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder
approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent
transaction.
4.6 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity.
By 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately following the date
hereof, the Company shall issue a press release (the “Press
Release”)
reasonably acceptable to the Placement Agents disclosing all material terms
of
the transactions contemplated hereby. On or before 5:30 p.m., New York City
time, on the fourth Trading Day immediately following the execution of this
Agreement, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the
Commission describing the terms of the Transaction Documents (and including
as
exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the material Transaction Documents
(including, without limitation, this Agreement, the form of Warrant and the
Registration Rights Agreement)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser or an Affiliate of any
Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser or an Affiliate of any Purchaser
in any press release or filing with the Commission (other than the Registration
Statement) or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written
consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law
in
connection with (A) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement and (B) the filing of final Transaction Documents (including
signature pages thereto) with the Commission and (ii) to the extent such
disclosure is required by law, request of the Staff of the Commission or Trading
Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers
with
prior written notice of such disclosure permitted under this subclause (ii).
From and after the issuance of the Press Release, no Purchaser shall be in
possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company,
any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents, that is not disclosed in the Press Release unless a Purchaser shall
have
executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such
information. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other
Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement are required to be publicly disclosed by the Company as described
in this Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of all
disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the
existence and terms of this transaction).
4.7 Shareholder
Rights Plan.
No
claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the
Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any
control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or
arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser
could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement,
in
either case solely by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents
or under any other written agreement between the Company and the Purchasers;
provided, however, that no such Purchaser owns any equity in the Company prior
to its purchase of the Shares hereunder.
4.8 Non-Public
Information.
Except
with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including this Agreement, or as
expressly required by any applicable securities law, the Company covenants
and
agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide
any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information regarding the
Company that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information
without the express written consent of such Purchaser, unless prior thereto
such
Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality
and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each
Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions
in securities of the Company.
23
4.9 Use
of
Proceeds.
The
Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder
for
working capital and general corporate purposes.
4.10 Indemnification
of Purchasers.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold
each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners,
employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role
of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any
other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act),
and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or
employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person
holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title)
of
such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser
Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other
Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser, or
any
of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who
is
not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon
a
breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the
Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser may
have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state
or
federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). Promptly after
receipt by any Person (the “Indemnified
Person”)
of
notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise
to a
claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section, such Indemnified
Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume
the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and
expenses; provided, however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person so
to
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced
by
such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the
Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention
of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such
Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment
of
counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person
is
or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such
proceeding.
4.11 Listing
of Securities.
In the
time and manner required by the Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and
file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering
all of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take
all
steps necessary to cause all of the Shares to be approved for listing on the
Trading Market as promptly as possible thereafter.
24
4.12 Form D;
Blue Sky.
The
Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as
required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon
the written request of any Purchaser. 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 the 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
such actions promptly upon the written request of any Purchaser.
4.13 Delivery
of Shares After Closing .
The
Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to deliver, or cause to
be
delivered, the respective Shares purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser
within three (3) Trading Days of the Closing Date.
4.14 Dispositions
and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof.
Such
Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage,
directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities
(including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s
securities) during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such
time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first required
to be publicly announced as described in Section 4.6 or (ii) this Agreement
is
terminated in full pursuant to Section 6.17. Each Purchaser, severally and
not
jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the
Company as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the
information included in the Transaction Documents and Disclosure Schedules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.6; provided, however,
each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly with any Purchasers, that
they
will not enter into any Net Short Sales (as hereinafter defined) from the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earliest of (x) the
Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, (y) the 24 month
anniversary of the Closing Date or (z) the date that such Purchaser no longer
holds any Securities. For purposes of this Section 4.14, a “Net Short Sale” by
any Purchaser shall mean a sale of Common Stock by such Purchaser that is marked
as a short sale and that is made at a time when there is no equivalent
offsetting long position in Common Stock held by such Purchaser. For purposes
of
determining whether there is an equivalent offsetting position in Common Stock
held by the Purchaser, Warrant Shares that have not yet been exercised pursuant
to the Warrants shall be deemed to be held long by the Purchaser, and the amount
of shares of Common Stock held in a long position shall be all Shares and
unexercised Warrant Shares (ignoring any exercise limitations included therein)
issuable to such Purchaser on such date, plus any shares of Common Stock or
Common Stock Equivalents otherwise then held by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser is a multi-managed investment
vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such
Purchaser'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 assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only
with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that
have
knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser has
sold
Shares pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the Effectiveness Date of the Initial
Registration Statement and the Company has failed to deliver certificates
without legends prior to the settlement date for such sale (assuming that such
certificates meet the requirements set forth in Section 4.1(c) for the removal
of legends), the provisions of this Section 4.14 shall not prohibit the
Purchaser from entering into Net Short Sales for the purpose of delivering
shares of Common Stock in settlement of such sale. Each Purchaser understands
and acknowledges, severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, that
the
Commission currently takes the position that covering a short position
established prior to effectiveness of a resale registration statement with
shares included in such registration statement would be a violation of Section
5
of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section 5 under Section A,
of
the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation
Finance.
25
4.15 Subsequent
Equity Sales.
From
the date hereof until 30 days after the Effective Date, neither the Company
nor
any Subsidiary shall issue shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents;
provided,
however,
the 30
day period set forth in this Section 4.15 shall be extended for the number
of
Trading Days during such period in which (i) trading in the Common Stock is
suspended by any Trading Market, or (ii) following the Effective Date, the
Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement may not be used by the Purchasers for the resale of
the
Shares and Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
this
Section 4.15 prohibit the Company from issuing shares of Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents (i) in connection with acquisitions or strategic transactions
approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided
that any such issuance shall only be to a Person which is, itself or through
its
subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business
of the Company and in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the
investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company
is
issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity
whose primary business is investing in securities, (ii) upon the exercise of
any
options or warrants outstanding on the date hereof, (iii) upon the exercise
of
the Warrants or (iv) to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to any
stock option or equity incentive plan.
4.16 Adverse
Changes.
Since
the date of execution of this Agreement, no event or series of events shall
have
occurred that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

6.4 Amendments;

No
provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Company and the Purchasers holding or having the right to acquire at least
sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Shares and the Warrant Shares
on a fully-diluted basis at the time of such amendment or, in the case of a
waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.
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 provision of any Transaction Document
unless the same consideration is also offered to all Purchasers who then hold
Securities.
6.5 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.
6.6 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 Purchasers
holding or having the right to acquire a majority of the Shares and the Warrant
Shares on a fully-diluted basis at the time of such consent.
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”.
6.7 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, except (i) the Placement
Agents are intended third party beneficiaries of Article III hereof and
(ii)
each Purchaser Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section
4.9.
6.8 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 internal 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 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.
29
6.9 Survival.
The
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and
the delivery of the Securities for a period of three (3) years from the Closing
Date. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive for the
applicable statute of limitations.
6.10 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.
6.11 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.
6.12 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 receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss,
theft or destruction and 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 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. The applicants for a new certificate
or
instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party
costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. 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.
6.13 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.
30
6.14 Payment
Set Aside.
To the
extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant
to
any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights
thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or
exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are
required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee,
receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation,
any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action),
then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full
force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff
had not occurred.
6.15 Adjustments
in Share Numbers and Prices.
In the
event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in
shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common
Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after
the date hereof and prior to the Closing, 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.
6.16 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 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 or any Subsidiary 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. Each Purchaser has been
represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation
of
the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only,
Purchasers and their respective counsels have chosen to communicate with the
Company through Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, counsel to the Placement Agents. Each
Purchaser acknowledges that Xxxxxxx Procter LLP has rendered legal advice to
the
Placement Agents and not to such Purchaser in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, and that each such Purchaser has relied for such matters
on
the advice of its own respective counsel. The Company has elected to provide
all
Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of
the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any
Purchaser.
6.17 Termination.
This
Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Shares and the
Warrants abandoned at any time prior to the Closing by either the Company or
any
Purchaser (with respect to itself only) upon written notice to the other, if
the
Closing has not been consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the Outside Date; provided,
however,
that
the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.17 shall not be
available to any Person whose failure to comply with its obligations under
this
Agreement has been the cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to
occur on or before such time. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be deemed
to
release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair
the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of
its
obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. In the
event of a termination pursuant to this Section, the Company shall promptly
notify all non-terminating Purchasers. Upon a termination in accordance with
this Section, the Company and the terminating Purchaser(s) shall not have any
further obligation or liability (including arising from such termination) to
the
other, and no Purchaser will have any liability to any other Purchaser under
the
Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
31

Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as

INVESTOR QUESTIONNAIRE
(ALL
INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY)
To: Micromet,
Inc.
This
Investor Questionnaire (“Questionnaire”)
must
be completed by each potential investor in connection with the offer and sale
of
the shares of the common stock, par value $0.00004 per share, and shares of
common stock that may be issued upon exercise of certain warrants (collectively,
the “Securities”),
of
Micromet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”).
The
Securities are being offered and sold by the Corporation without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”),
and
the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions contained
in Section 4(2) of the Act and on Regulation D promulgated thereunder and
in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The Corporation
must determine that a potential investor meets certain suitability requirements
before offering or selling Securities to such investor. The purpose of this
Questionnaire is to assure the Corporation that each investor will meet the
applicable suitability requirements. The information supplied by you will be
used in determining whether you meet such criteria, and reliance upon the
private offering exemptions from registration is based in part on the
information herein supplied.
This
Questionnaire does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer
to buy any security. Your answers will be kept strictly confidential. However,
by signing this Questionnaire, you will be authorizing the Corporation to
provide a completed copy of this Questionnaire to such parties as the
Corporation deems appropriate in order to ensure that the offer and sale of
the
Securities will not result in a violation of the Act or the securities laws
of
any state and that you otherwise satisfy the suitability standards applicable
to
purchasers of the Securities. All potential investors must answer all applicable
questions and complete, date and sign this Questionnaire. Please print or type
your responses and attach additional sheets of paper if necessary to complete
your answers to any item.

Opinion of Company Counsel
October
2, 2008
The
Purchasers Named on Exhibit A Hereto
RE: Micromet,
Inc.
Dear
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We
have
acted as counsel for Micromet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
in
connection with the
issuance and sale of (i) an aggregate of 9,411,948 shares (the “Shares”)
of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.00004 per share (the “Common
Stock”)
and
(ii) warrants (the “Warrants”)
to
purchase up to an aggregate of 2,823,584 shares of Common Stock (the
“Warrant
Shares”),
to the
Purchasers at the Closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as
of
September 29, 2008 (the “Purchase
Agreement”).
We are
rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
given
to them in the Purchase Agreement.
In
connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the
representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by the various parties and originals or
copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates,
opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary
or
appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.
As
to
certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate executed by officers
of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters. Where
we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “of which we are
aware” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon
(i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company
in
this transaction, (ii) receipt of a certificate executed by officers of the
Company covering such matters and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that
we specifically set forth herein.
In
rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of
certificates of public officials; the due authorization, execution and delivery
of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Company of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Warrants (together, the “Financing
Agreements”)),
where
authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness
of
such documents; and the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on
original documents (except the signatures on behalf of the Company on the
Financing Agreements). We have also assumed: that all individuals executing
and
delivering documents had the legal capacity to so execute and deliver; that
the
Financing Agreements are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other
than
the Company; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among
the parties to the Financing Agreements that would modify or interpret the
terms
of any of the Financing Agreements or the respective rights or obligations
of
the parties thereunder.
Our
opinion is expressed only with respect to the federal laws of the United States
of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law
of
the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any
particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of
any
jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject
matter hereof and no opinion as to the enforceability of the waiver of jury
trial set forth in section 6.8 of the Purchase Agreement or any liquidated
damages provisions in the Transaction Documents.
We
are
not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree
or decisional law relating to antitrust, banking, land use, environmental,
pension, employee benefits, tax, fraudulent conveyance, usury, laws governing
the legality of investments for regulated entities, Regulations T, U or X of
the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, local laws, any law, rules
or
regulations relating to the clinical development, manufacture, distribution
or
sale of pharmaceutical products or the bylaws, rules or regulations of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Furthermore, we express no opinion
with
respect to compliance with antifraud (i) laws, (ii) rules or (iii) regulations,
each with respect to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with
fiduciary duties by the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders; compliance
with safe harbors for disinterested Board of Director or stockholder approvals;
compliance with state securities or blue sky laws except as specifically set
forth below; compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions; or
the
enforceability of provisions in the Financing Agreements concerning the voting
of the Company’s capital stock (other than solely administrative obligations of
the Company).
With
regard to our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 3 below with respect to the due
incorporation, good standing and qualification of the Company, we have relied
solely upon certificates of the Secretaries of State of the indicated
jurisdictions as of a recent date.
With
regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below with respect to securities of the
Company to be issued after the date hereof, we express no opinion to the extent
that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future
issuance of securities of the Company and/or antidilution adjustments to
outstanding securities of the Company cause the Warrants to be exercisable
for
more shares of Common Stock than the number that then remain authorized but
unissued.
With
regard to our opinion in paragraph 7 below concerning violations of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or any New York or federal statute, rule or regulation
laws, such opinion is understood to cover only laws (including published rules
and regulations) that, given the nature of this transaction and the parties
to
it, a lawyer in the relevant jurisdictions exercising customary diligence would
reasonably recognize as being applicable.
With
regard to our opinions in paragraphs 6 and 9 relating to the issuance of the
Warrant Shares, for the purposes of such opinions we have assumed that such
Warrant Shares were issued as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms
of the Financing Agreements, and we render no opinion as to the exercise of
the
Warrants after such date.
With
regard to our opinion in paragraph 8 below, we have made an inquiry of the
attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company on substantive
matters within the past six months, examined and relied upon a certificate
executed by officers of the Company covering such matters, and checked the
records of this firm to ascertain that we are not acting as counsel of record
for the Company in any such matter. We have made no further
investigation.
With
regard to our opinion in paragraph 10 below, our opinion is expressed only
with
respect to the offer and sale of the Shares and the Warrants without regard
to
any offers or sales of other securities occurring prior to or subsequent to
the
date hereof. In addition, our opinion in paragraph 10 below assumes that
neither
the Company, the Placement Agents nor any person acting on behalf of either
the
Company or the Placement Agents has offered or sold the Securities by any form
of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c)
of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
On
the
basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the qualifications set
forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.
|
The
Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation
in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
|
2.
|
The
Company has the requisite corporate power to own its property and
assets
and to conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is currently
being
conducted.
|
3.
|
The
Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation
and is
in good standing
under the laws of the
State of California and the State of
Maryland.
|
4.
|
The
Company has the requisite corporate power to execute, deliver and
perform
its obligations under the Financing
Agreements.
|
5.
|
Each
of the Financing Agreements has been duly and validly authorized,
executed
and delivered by the Company and each such agreement constitutes
a valid
and binding agreement of the Company enforceable
against
the Company in accordance with its respective terms, except that
we
express no opinion as to the validity of rights to indemnity and
contribution under Section 4.10 of the Purchase
Agreement and Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement may
be
limited by applicable laws, and except as such enforceability may
be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general equity principles and
to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific
performance.
|
6.
|
The
Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) one fifty million
(150,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00004 and (b) ten
million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.00004.
The
Shares have been duly authorized, and upon issuance and delivery
against
payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement,
the Shares will be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and
nonassessable. The Warrant Shares have been duly authorized, and
upon
issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance
with the
terms of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares will be validly issued,
outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
|
7.
|
The
execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements by the Company,
and the
issuance of the Shares and the Warrants pursuant thereto, do not
violate
any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and do not
violate (a) the Delaware General Corporation Law or any New York
or
federal statute, rule or regulation; or (b) any order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered
against
the Company and of which we are
aware.
|
8.
|
To
our knowledge there is no action, proceeding or investigation pending
or
overtly threatened against the Company before any court or administrative
agency that questions the validity of the Financing Agreements or,
except
as set forth on the schedules to the Agreement, that could reasonably
be
expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a
material
adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
|
9.
|
All
consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings,
registrations, and qualifications with, any U.S. federal regulatory
authority or governmental body required for the issuance of the Shares,
the Warrants and the Warrant Shares (assuming such Warrant Shares
were
issued on the date hereof) have been made or obtained, except for
the
filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation D.
|
10.
|
Assuming
the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchasers
contained in the Purchase Agreement, the offer and sale of the Shares
and
the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to the timely filing
of a Form
D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation
D.
|
The
opinions expressed herein are subject to the following additional
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions:
(a) We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of “choice of forum” or “submission
to jurisdiction” or “waiver of jury trial” provisions contained in the Financing
Agreements.
(b) Our
opinion herein, insofar as it relates to the enforceability of the choice of
law
provisions of the Financing Agreements designating the law of the State of
New
York as the law applicable to the construction and interpretation of any of
the
Financing Agreements, is (i) limited to courts of the State of New York and
federal courts located within the State of New York and (ii) predicated upon
Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law which permit contracting
parties to specify that the law of the State of New York is
applicable.
(c) We
do not
assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of any
information, including, but not limited to financial information, furnished
to
you by the Company concerning the business or affairs of the Company or any
other information furnished to you of a factual nature.
(d) We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of any termination fee or penalty
or
liquidated damages provisions.
(e) This
opinion speaks only as to law and facts in effect or existing as of the date
hereof and we undertake no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement
this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come
to
our attention or any changes in law which may hereafter occur.
This
opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available
to
or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior written
consent.

truly yours,

Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of September
29,
2008 (the “Agreement”),
by
and among Micromet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and
the purchasers named on the signature pages thereto (collectively, and including
permitted transferees, the “Holders”),
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Holders shares (the
“Shares”)
of
Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.00004 per share (the “Common
Stock”),
and
warrants (the “Warrants”),
which
are exercisable into shares of Common Stock.
This
letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you
(provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time and the
conditions set forth in this letter are satisfied), subject to any stop transfer
instructions that we may issue to you from time to time, if any:
(i) to
issue
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon transfer or resale of
the
Shares; and
(ii) to
issue
shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant
Shares”)
to or
upon the order of a Holder from time to time upon delivery to you of a properly
completed and duly executed Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as
Annex I,
which
has been acknowledged by the Company as indicated by the signature of a duly
authorized officer of the Company thereon together with indication of receipt
of
the exercise price therefor.
You
acknowledge and agree that so long as you have received (a) written
confirmation from the Company that either (1) a registration statement
covering resales of the Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”),
or
(2) the Shares and the Warrant Shares have been sold in conformity with
Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”)
or are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to
be
in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as
to
such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and
(b) if applicable, a copy of such registration statement, then, unless
otherwise required by law, within three (3) business days of your receipt
of a notice of transfer, Shares or the Exercise Notice, you shall issue the
certificates representing the Shares and/or the Warrant Shares, as the case
may
be, registered in the names of such Holders or transferees, as the case may
be,
and such certificates shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the
Shares or the Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject to any
stop-transfer restriction; provided,
however,
that if
such Shares and Warrant Shares are not registered for resale under the
Securities Act or able to be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for
the
Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale
restrictions, then the certificates for such Shares and/or Warrant Shares shall
bear the following legend:
THESE
SECURITIES HAVE NOT 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 (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF
(A)
AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT
OR (B) AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL
OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS TRANSFER
AGENT
OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN
ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE
SECURITIES.
A
form of
written confirmation from the Company that a registration statement covering
resales of the Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by
the
Commission under the Securities Act is attached hereto as Annex II.
Please
be
advised that the Holders are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter
into the Agreement and, accordingly, each Holder is a third party beneficiary
to
these instructions.
Please
execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to
act
in accordance with these instructions.
