Notwithstanding the foregoing, in entering into this Agreement, the Purchaser represents that it is relying solely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, which document supersedes and replaces any other written or oral information communicated to the Purchaser.

3.2. Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Securities and the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
9
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing the Shares and the Warrant Shares, and the Company shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Company’s transfer agent that a certificate without such legend shall be delivered to the Purchaser of such Shares or Warrant Shares, if (i) (A) the resale of such Shares or Warrant Shares are registered under the Registration Statement contemplated by Article VI, such Registration Statement is effective for such transfer and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is available with respect to such Shares or Warrant Shares or (B) the Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or any successor rule and (ii) the Purchaser delivers to the Company or its transfer agent the legended certificate(s) for such shares and customary representations with respect to the shares as reasonably requested by the Company. If the Company is required to issue unlegended certificates pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Company shall (i) cause its counsel to deliver to the Company’s transfer agent one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act and (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser or its transferee a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends within five business days of the submission by such Purchaser of the legended certificates and the representations required for consummation of such transaction. If the unlegended certificates are not delivered within five business days of the date of submission by the Purchaser of such legended certificates and such other representations as required (a “Transfer Default”), the Company shall promptly pay, in cash, to such Purchaser 1% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the shares sold by the Purchaser and evidenced by such certificate(s) for each 30-day period or portion thereof beyond such five business day period that the unlegended certificate has not been so delivered (the “Transfer Penalty”). The payments provided for in this Section 3.2 shall constitute the Purchaser’s exclusive monetary remedy for the Transfer Default, but shall not affect the right of the Purchaser to seek injunctive relief. Nothwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) at any time a Purchaser is eligible to have the legends removed from the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or any successor rule, (ii) the Company provides the Purchaser notice of that fact and (iii) the Purchaser fails within 15 business days to submit to the Company or its transfer agent the legended certificate(s) for such shares and customary representations with respect to the shares as reasonably requested by the Company, the Company will no longer have an obligation to pay a Transfer Penalty with respect to such shares.
3.3. Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity (corporate, statutory or otherwise) to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The making and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provision of the organizational documents of the Purchaser or conflict with, result in the breach or violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage of time or both, a default under any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, or any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body applicable to the Purchaser. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body is required on the part of the Purchaser for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions
10
contemplated by this Agreement. There is not in effect any order enjoining or restraining the Purchaser from entering into or engaging in any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except (i) to the extent rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or the public policy underlying such laws, (ii) enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and (iii) enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
3.4. Certain Trading Limitations. The Purchaser (i) represents that on and from the date the Purchaser first became aware of the private placement of the Company’s Securities contemplated by this Agreement (the “Offering”) until the date hereof neither he, she or it nor anyone acting on his, her or its behalf has and (ii) covenants that for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier to occur of (A) 45 days from the Closing Date and (B) the effective date of the Registration Statement neither he, she or it nor anyone acting on his, her or its behalf will, engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, or be characterized as, a sale, an offer to sell, a solicitation of offers to buy, disposition of, loan, pledge or grant of any right with respect to (collectively, a “Disposition”) the Common Stock of the Company by the Purchaser or any other person or entity. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation effecting any short sale or having in effect any short position (whether or not such sale or position is “against the box” and regardless of when such position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock of the Company or with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co. (“Xxxxxxx Sachs”), the restrictions on Dispositions set forth above shall apply only to the Franchise Risk Management Desk of the Equities Division of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and not any other trading desk of Xxxxxxx Sachs or any affiliate thereof.
3.5. No Sale of Securities. The Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Securities (including any Warrant Shares) without (i) complying with the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6.3 hereof, and (ii) satisfying the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, causing the prospectus delivery requirement under the Securities Act to be satisfied if the Purchaser is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof that the conditions specified in Rule 172(c) of the Securities Act were not satisfied and, as a result thereof, the Purchasers are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company determines that, subject to the limitations of Section 6.3, it must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, an appropriate report has been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or until the Company has amended or supplemented such prospectus.

(f) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (e) and (g) of this Section 6.1 and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including filings made with Nasdaq); (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state “blue sky” or securities laws; (iii) expenses of printing or copying (including printing certificates for the Registrable Securities and copying Prospectuses); (iv) all application and filing fees, if any, in connection with listing of the Registrable Securities with Nasdaq; and (v) all fees and disbursements of counsel of the Company and independent certified public accountants of the Company; provided, however, that the Purchasers shall be responsible for paying the underwriting commissions or brokerage fees, taxes of any kind (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) applicable to any disposition, sale or transfer of the Purchasers’ Registrable Securities, and (except as set forth in Section 6.4) fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the Purchasers.

(k) respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as practicable, provide the Purchasers copies of all material correspondence from and to the SEC

6.2. Registration Defaults.
(a) The Company further agrees that, in the event that the Registration Statement (i) has not been filed within 30 calendar days after the Closing Date, (ii) has not been declared effective by the SEC within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, if the SEC determines not to review such Registration Statement, (iii) has not been declared effective by the SEC within 120 calendar days after the Closing Date, if the SEC determines to review such Registration Statement, or (iv) after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, other than for the time periods permitted by the last sentence of Section 6.3(c) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), a “Registration Default”), for any 30-day period or portion thereof (a “Penalty Period”) during which the Registration Default remains uncured (which initial 30-day period shall commence on the date of such Registration Default), the Company shall promptly pay, in cash, to each Purchaser 1% of such Purchaser’s aggregate Purchase Price for such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement for each Penalty Period during which the Registration Default remains uncured (a “Registration Penalty”); provided, however, that if a Purchaser fails to provide the Company with any information that is required to be provided in the Registration Statement with respect to such Purchaser, then the commencement of the Penalty Period described above shall be extended for such Purchaser until two business days following the date of receipt by the Company of such required information from such Purchaser; provided further, that the amount payable to any Purchaser hereunder for any partial Penalty Period shall be prorated for the number of actual days during such Penalty Period during which a Registration Default remains uncured; and provided further that in no event shall the Company be required to pay to any Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.2 an aggregate amount that exceeds 10% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser for such Purchaser’s Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, in no event shall the Company be liable to any Purchaser for more than one Registration Penalty with respect to the same Registrable Securities during any 30-day period, even if more than one event giving rise to a Registration Penalty occurs during such 30-day period. The payments provided for in this Section 6.2(a) shall constitute the Purchasers’ exclusive monetary remedy for any Registration Default, but shall not affect the right of the Purchasers to seek injunctive relief.
19
(b) Rule 415; Cutbacks. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time the SEC takes the position that some or all of the Registrable Securities may not be included in the Registration Statement because (i) the inclusion of such Registrable Securities violates the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act as a result of the number of shares included in such Registration Statement, (ii) the Registrable Securities cannot be sold as an “at the market offering,” and/or (iii) the Warrant Shares may not be registered prior to exercise of the Warrants and/or many not be sold on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415, the Company shall (A) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (B) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”). Any cut-back imposed pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be allocated among the Purchasers on a pro rata basis and shall be allocated first to any Warrant Shares. No Registration Penalty shall accrue on any Cut Back Shares until such time as the Company is able to effect the registration of the Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”). From and after the Restriction Termination Date, all of the provisions of this Section 6.2 (including the Registration Penalty provisions) shall again be applicable to the Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that for such purposes the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the Restriction Termination Date.
6.3. Transfer of Securities; Suspension.
(a) Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any Disposition of the Registrable Securities or its right to purchase the Registrable Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.1 or in accordance with the Securities Act, and that, upon the Company’s reasonable written request, it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement or the Registration Questionnaire regarding such Purchaser or its plan of distribution or other information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration referred to in Article VI. The Company shall not be required to include any Shares or Warrant Shares held by a Purchaser in the Registration Statement if such Purchaser fails to complete or update the Registration Questionnaire or provide the information requested in the Registration Questionnaire in accordance with this Section 6.3.
(b) Except in the event that paragraph (c) below applies, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to, at all times during the Registration Period, promptly prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
20
(c) In the event of (i) any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the Company’s election to delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, in the best interest of the Company; or (v) any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall deliver a notice in writing to the Purchasers (a “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchasers will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchasers’ receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed by the Company, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used. In the event of any Suspension pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts, consistent with the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after the delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers. The Company shall not disclose in any Suspension Notice any material non-public information giving rise to such Suspension. No Suspension shall exceed 30 consecutive days and, during any 365-day period, Suspensions shall not exceed an aggregate of 90 days.
(d) If (i) any Purchaser is required under applicable securities law to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter and (ii) the Company is obtaining in connection with the Registration Statement (A) any letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or (B) any opinion of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, the Company shall cause such documentation to also be addressed and issued to such Purchaser.
(e) Upon the written request of any Purchaser in connection with any Purchaser’s due diligence requirements, if any, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Purchaser and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Purchasers (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees
21
to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to a Purchaser) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other document contemplated hereby. Each Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

22
the Registration Questionnaire) or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution, or (B) the failure of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 3.5 or 6.3 of this Agreement respecting resale of Registrable Securities, or (C) the inaccuracy of any representations made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or (D) any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Purchaser before the pertinent sale or sales by the Purchaser; provided, that (1) the Company has previously advised the Purchaser in writing that the Company does not meet the conditions for use of Rule 172 of the Securities Act and that, as a result thereof, the Purchaser is obligated to deliver the Prospectus in connection with any sales under the Registration Statement and (2) that delivery of such subsequent Prospectus would have prevented such Losses from occurring.
(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its executive officers, including such officers who sign the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any Losses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its executive officers, including such officers who sign the Registration Statement, or such controlling person may become subject, as incurred, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure on the part of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 3.5 or 6.3 of this Agreement respecting the sale of the Registrable Securities or (ii) any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser expressly for use therein (including without limitation the information set forth in the Registration Questionnaire). The amount of any payment by a Purchaser under this Section 6 in respect of any Losses resulting from or arising out of any indemnification or contribution claim shall in no event exceed the net proceeds to such Purchaser as a result of the sale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
6.5. Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 6, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise under the obligations to indemnify contained in this Section 6 to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure.
(b) In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
23
with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there is a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless:
(i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence in Section 6.5(b) above (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel where counsel is reasonably necessary, approved by such indemnifying party (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), or
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
The indemnified party shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
(c) Settlement. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding (including, without limitation, any shareholder or derivative action or arbitration proceeding, whether commenced or threatened, with respect to which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder (collectively, a “Proceeding”) effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is required by its terms but is unavailable to an indemnified party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
24
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Agreement, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.5, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 was available to such party in accordance with its terms. The provisions set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.5 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (a) for purposes of indemnification.
(e) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Purchaser shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities by the Purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages that the Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No party to this Agreement guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any other party to this Agreement who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
6.6. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The restrictions imposed by Article III or Article VI upon the transferability of the Registrable Securities shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Registrable Securities upon the termination of the Registration Period with respect to such Registrable Securities.
6.7. Rule 144. At all times prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date during which there are Registrable Securities outstanding which have not been previously (a) sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution, or (b) sold in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(l) thereof, in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b) in such a manner that, upon the consummation of such sale, all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect to such securities are removed upon the consummation of such sale, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:
25
(i) comply with the requirements of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act with respect to current public information about the Company;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time it is subject to such reporting requirements); and
(iii) furnish to any holder of Registrable Securities promptly after receipt of a written request therefor (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the requirements of said Rule 144(c), and the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (C) such other reports and documents of the Company as such holder may reasonably request to avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
6.8. Registration of Other Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that (a) the Company has granted registration rights to other security holders, and (b) any Registration Statement prepared, filed and made effective under this Article VI may also cover the resale of securities held by such security holders to the extent that the Company has an obligation to register such securities under any of the agreements listed as exhibits to the Company’s 10-K.
6.9. Withdrawal of Registration Statement. After the termination of the Registration Period, the Company shall be entitled to withdraw the Registration Statement, and the Purchasers shall have no further right to offer or sell any of the Shares or the Warrant Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing in the following circumstances:
(a) By mutual written agreement of the Company and the Purchasers;
(b) By either the Company or any Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before May 26, 2007; or
(c) By either the Company or a Purchaser (with respect to itself only) if any governmental entity shall have issued an injunction or other ruling prohibiting the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such injunction or other ruling shall not be subject to appeal or shall have become final and unappealable.
In the event of termination by the Company or any Purchaser of its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to this Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Purchasers and the other Purchasers shall have the right to terminate their obligations to effect the Closing upon written notice to the Company and the other Purchasers. Nothing in this
26
Section 7.1 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any willful or intentional breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to any termination hereof or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

7.8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
7.9. Submission to Jurisdiction.

7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PURCHASERS AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF EACH PURCHASER OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
28
7.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
7.12. Finders Fees. Neither the Company nor any Purchaser nor any affiliate thereof has incurred any obligation which will result in the obligation of the other party to pay any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction.
7.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties. Facsimile signatures shall be deemed originals for all purposes hereunder.
7.14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, heirs, executors and administrators and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. With respect to transfers that are not made pursuant to the Registration Statement (or Rule 144 of the Securities Act but are otherwise made in accordance with all applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement), the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by such Purchaser to any transferee of at least 250,000 (or all of such Purchaser’s holdings, if less) shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events occurring after the issuance date) of the Purchaser’s Securities (including any Warrant Shares) who is a Permitted Transferee (as defined below); provided, however, that (i) the Company is provided written notice of the transfer including the name and address of the transferee and the number of Shares, Warrants and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, to be transferred; and (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if such transferee were the Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean any person who (a) is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (b) receives the Securities and any Warrant Shares in a transaction which is in compliance with federal and applicable state securities law and (c) is not eligible to resell such Securities, including any Warrant Shares, pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act. Upon any transfer permitted by this Section 7.14, the Company shall be obligated to such transferee to perform all of its covenants under this Agreement as if such transferee was the Purchaser.
7.15. Expenses. The Company and each Purchaser shall bear its, his or her own expenses in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the Agreement.
7.16. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under this Agreement. 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.
29
7.17. Third Party Rights. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.
7.18. No Waiver. It is agreed that a waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate, or be construed, as a waiver of any subsequent breach by that same party.
7.19. Further Assurances. The parties agree to execute and deliver, at the requesting party’s expense, all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such other and further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
7.20. Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each of the Purchasers participating in the Offering are several and not joint. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by Purchaser 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 this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
7.21. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is 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.

Common Stock Purchase Warrant
(Void after , 2012)
Icagen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby certifies that , or its registered assigns (the “Registered Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.45 per share, at any time or from time to time on or after the date of issuance and on or before the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Boston time) on , 2012 and (ii) ten business days after notice from the Company, in accordance with Section 10 of this Warrant, provided that such notice may only be given by the Company if (A) the closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, as applicable (or, if the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the closing bid price of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market), for a period of 30 consecutive trading days at any time after the date of this Warrant, is greater than $3.00 per share and (B) the Registration Statement contemplated by Article VI (“Article VI”) of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) is available for the sale of the Warrant Shares (as defined below), the Warrant Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any time after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date. The shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, and the purchase price per share, each as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares” and the “Purchase Price,” respectively. This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 26, 2007 (such warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”), by and among the Company and the original Registered Holder of this Warrant and the other parties named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”).
1. Exercise.
(a) Exercise for Cash. The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise.
(b) Cashless Exercise.
(i) The Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part and at any time or from time to time, on a cashless basis, by surrendering this Warrant, with the purchase form appended hereto as Exhibit I duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, by canceling a portion of this Warrant in payment of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise. In the event of an exercise pursuant to this subsection 1(b), the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder shall be determined according to the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
A
Where: X = | the number of Warrant Shares that shall be issued to the Registered Holder; | |
Y = | the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (which shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price); | |
A = | the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock; and | |
B = | the Purchase Price then in effect. |
(ii) The Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined as follows:
- 2 -
(1) If the Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange, as of the Exercise Date (as defined below), the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the high and low reported sale prices per share of Common Stock thereon on the trading day immediately preceding the Exercise Date (provided that if the Common Stock is so listed as of the Exercise Date, but no such price is reported on such date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be determined pursuant to clause (3) below);
(2) If the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending immediately prior to the Exercise Date; and
(3) If the Common Stock is not listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange, and is not traded over-the-counter as of the Exercise Date, the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the amount most recently determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to represent the fair market value per share of the Common Stock (including without limitation a determination for purposes of granting Common Stock options or issuing Common Stock under any plan, agreement or arrangement with employees of the Company); and, upon request of the Registered Holder, the Board (or a representative thereof) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten days after such request, notify the Registered Holder of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock and furnish the Registered Holder with reasonable documentation of the Board’s determination of such Fair Market Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board has not made such a determination within the three-month period prior to the Exercise Date, then (A) the Board shall make, and shall provide or cause to be provided to the Registered Holder notice of, a determination of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock within 15 days of a request by the Registered Holder that it do so, and (B) the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this subsection 1(b) shall be delayed until such determination is made and notice thereof is provided to the Registered Holder.
(c) Exercise Date. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) or 1(b) above (the “Exercise Date”). At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(d) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Warrant Shares represented by such certificates.
(d) Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within five business days thereafter, the Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
- 3 -
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 3 hereof; and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or warrants (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was so exercised (which, in the case of an exercise pursuant to subsection 1(b), shall include both the number of Warrant Shares issued to the Registered Holder pursuant to such partial exercise and the number of Warrant Shares subject to the portion of the Warrant being cancelled in payment of the Purchase Price).
2. Adjustments.
(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first issued (or, if this Warrant was issued upon partial exercise of, or in replacement of, another warrant of like tenor, then the date on which such original warrant was first issued) (either such date being referred to as the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Purchase Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;
- 4 -
provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Purchase Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Purchase Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(c) Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Purchase Price pursuant to subsections 2(a) or 2(b), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(d) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event provision shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder, the kind and amount of securities of the Company, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised on the date of such event and had the Registered Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2 with respect to the rights of the Registered Holder.
(e) Adjustment for Reorganization. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by subsections 2(a), 2(b) or 2(d)) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 2 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Purchase Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Reorganization is effected shall include terms requiring any successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions hereof.
(f) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company at its expense shall,
- 5 -
as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Purchase Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of the Registered Holder (but in any event not later than ten days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Purchase Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.
3. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares, but shall pay the value thereof to the Registered Holder in cash on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, as determined pursuant to subsection 1(b)(ii) above.
4. Company Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, when issued and paid for pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of Warrant Shares and other securities, cash and/or property, as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
5. Investment Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The initial Registered Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Securities Act Compliance. The Registered Holder is acquiring the Warrant, and (if and when it exercises this Warrant) it will acquire the Warrant Shares, in the ordinary course of its business and for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing any of such Warrants (including the Warrant Shares) or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of such Warrants (including the Warrant Shares) except in accordance with Article VI. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Registered Holder to hold the Warrant or any Warrant Shares for any period of time. The Registered Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant or any Warrant Shares, except in compliance with the Act, applicable foreign and state securities laws and the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Registered Holder covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Warrant and the Warrant Shares without (i) complying with the provisions of the Agreement, including Article VI, and (ii) satisfying the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(b) Accredited Investor; Experience. The Registered Holder (i) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act, (ii) has the knowledge, sophistication and experience necessary to make, and is qualified to make decisions
- 6 -
with respect to, investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, (iii) can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment in such securities and (iv) has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision with respect to such securities.
6. Transfers, etc.
(a) This Warrant and the Warrant Shares shall not be sold or transferred except pursuant to (i) the Registration Statement contemplated by Article VI if effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) Rule 144(k) of the Act or any successor rule provided that the Registered Holder is not and has not been within three months prior to such date, an “affiliate” of the Company, as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Act. With respect to transfers that are not made pursuant to a Registration Statement (or Rule 144 of the Act but are otherwise made in accordance with all applicable laws and the terms of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement), the rights and obligations of a Registered Holder hereunder shall be automatically assigned by such Registered Holder to any transferee of at least 250,000 (or all of such Registered Holder’s holdings, if less) shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events occurring after the issuance date) of the Registered Holder’s securities (including the Warrant Shares) who is a Permitted Transferee (as defined below); provided, however, that (i) the Company is provided written notice of the transfer including the name and address of the transferee and the number of Warrants and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, to be transferred; and (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement as if such transferee were the Registered Holder. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean any person who (a) is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act and (b) receives the Warrants and any Warrant Shares in a transaction which is in compliance with federal and applicable state securities law. Upon any transfer permitted by this Section 6, the Company shall be obligated to such transferee to perform all of its covenants under this Warrant as if such transferee was the Registered Holder.
(b) Each certificate representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing any Warrant Shares as permitted by the Purchase Agreement.
- 7 -
(c) The Company will maintain a register containing the name and address of the Registered Holder of this Warrant. The Registered Holder may change its address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof and the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit II hereto) at the principal office of the Company (or, if another office or agency has been designated by the Company for such purpose, then at such other office or agency).
7. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Registered Holder against impairment.
8. Notices of Record Date, etc. In the event:
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity and its Common Stock is not converted into or exchanged for any other securities or property), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
then, and in each such case, the Company will send or cause to be sent to the Registered Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be sent at least ten days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
- 8 -
9. Exchange or Replacement of Warrants.
(a) Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof and Article III of the Purchase Agreement, issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Registered Holder, at the Company’s expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder or as the Registered Holder (upon payment by the Registered Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash and/or property) then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
10. Notices. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Registered Holder in connection herewith shall be mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, to the address last furnished to the Company in writing by the Registered Holder. All notices and other communications from the Registered Holder to the Company in connection herewith shall be mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery, to the Company at its principal office set forth below. If the Company should at any time change the location of its principal office to a place other than as set forth below, it shall give prompt written notice to the Registered Holder and thereafter all references in this Warrant to the location of its principal office at the particular time shall be as so specified in such notice. All such notices and communications shall be deemed delivered (i) two business days after being sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) one business day after being sent via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service guaranteeing next business day delivery.
11. No Rights as Stockholder. Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the Purchase Price of and the number of Warrant Shares are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), and (ii) the Registered Holder exercises this Warrant between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend, the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.
12. Amendment or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the holders of the PIPE Warrants representing at least 60% of the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the outstanding PIPE Warrants.
- 9 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term hereunder may be waived without the written consent of the Registered Holder only in a manner which applies to all PIPE Warrants in the same fashion and (b) the number of Warrant Shares subject to this Warrant and the Purchase Price of this Warrant may not be amended, and the right to exercise this Warrant may not be waived, without the written consent of the Registered Holder (it being agreed that an amendment to or waiver under any of the provisions of Section 2 of this Warrant shall not be considered an amendment of the number of Warrant Shares or the Purchase Price). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Registered Holder of any amendment hereof or waiver hereunder that was effected without the Registered Holder’s written consent. No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.
13. Section Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties.
14. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).
15. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties to this Warrant (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or any of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or any of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10. Nothing in this Section 15, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.
16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE REGISTERED HOLDER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE REGISTERED HOLDER OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS WARRANT.
17. Facsimile Signatures. This Warrant may be executed by facsimile signature.
- 10 -
18. Exercise Limitations. In no event shall a Registered Holder be permitted to exercise this Warrant, or part hereof, if, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Registered Holder (other than shares which would otherwise be deemed beneficially owned except for being subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 18), would exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 18 applies, the submission of an Exercise Notice by the Registered Holder shall be deemed to be the Registered Holder’s representation that this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to the terms hereof and the Company shall be entitled to rely on such representation without making any further inquiry as to whether this Section 18 applies. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of a Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant, or part thereof, at such time as such exercise will not violate the provisions of this Section 18. This Section 18 may not be amended unless such amendment is approved by the holders of a majority of the Common Stock then outstanding.
[Additional provision to be included in Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Warrant only:
The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and Xxxxxxx Sachs shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Xxxxxxx Sachs and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by Xxxxxxx Sachs and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-KSB, Form 10-Q, Form 10-QSB, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of Xxxxxxx Sachs, the Company shall within one business day confirm orally and in writing to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the PIPE Warrants, by Xxxxxxx Sachs and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to Xxxxxxx Sachs and not to any other Registered Holder of PIPE Warrants.]

(e) | an Officers’ Certificate from the Company, dated as of the date hereof, attesting to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article II of the Agreement and as to certain other matters; and |
(f) | a Secretary’s Certificate from the Company, dated as of the date hereof, attesting to certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors (and the Pricing Committee and Audit Committee thereof) and the incumbency of certain officers of the Company. |

In our examination of the documents described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individual signatories, the completeness of all corporate and stock records provided to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied, as to all questions of fact material to this opinion, upon certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and upon the representations and warranties made by the Purchasers and the Company in the Transaction Documents. We have not attempted to verify independently such facts. We have not conducted a search of any electronic databases or the dockets of any court, administrative or regulatory body, agency or other filing office in any jurisdiction in connection with the preparation of this letter.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto other than the Company, and that all such other parties have all requisite power and authority to effect the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We have also assumed that each Transaction Document is the valid and binding obligation of each party thereto other than the Company and is enforceable against such other parties in accordance with its terms. We do not render any opinion as to the application of any federal or state law or regulation to the power, authority or competence of any party to the Transaction Documents other than the Company.
For purposes of this opinion we have assumed that the Board of Directors of the Company has complied with its fiduciary duties in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. We have also assumed, for purposes of Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, that the Transaction Documents are fair as to the Company as of the time they were authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof.
Our opinions set forth below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) statutory or decisional law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing, (iii) duties and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts, including, without limitation, requirements of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing, and (iv) general equitable principles. We express no opinion as to the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of the agreements as to which we are opining herein, or any of the agreements, documents or obligations referred to therein, or to the successful assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch as the availability of such remedies or the success of any equitable defense may be subject to the discretion of a court. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the enforceability of Sections 6.4 and 6.5 of the Agreement. We are expressing no opinion herein with respect to
To The Purchasers named on

compliance by the Company with state securities or “blue sky” laws, or with any state or federal securities antifraud laws. We also express no opinion herein as to any provision of any agreement (a) which may be deemed to or construed to waive any right of the Company, (b) to the effect that rights and remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy and does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or remedies, (c) relating to the effect of invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of the Transaction Documents on the validity or enforceability of any other provisions thereof, (d) requiring the payment of penalties, consequential damages or liquidated damages, (e) which is in violation of public policy, including, without limitation, any provision relating to indemnification and contribution with respect to securities law matters, (f) purporting to indemnify any person against his, her or its own negligence or intentional misconduct, (g) which provides that the terms of the Transaction Documents may not be waived or modified except in writing, (h) relating to choice of law, consent to jurisdiction or choice of forum or (i) relating to waiver of a jury trial.
Our opinions expressed in paragraph 1 below, insofar as they relate to the valid existence, due qualification and good standing of the Company, are based solely on the Domestic Certificate and the Foreign Qualification Certificate and are limited accordingly, and, as to such matters, our opinions are rendered as of the respective dates of such certificates. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of the Company in any jurisdiction.
For purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 below, with respect to factual matters, we have relied upon representations made by the Purchasers in Article III of the Agreement (including the Registration Questionnaires, a form of which is attached as Exhibit D to the Agreement), and have assumed (without any independent investigation) the accuracy of such representations. For purposes of our opinions in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 below, we have also assumed that in connection with the offer and sale of securities to the Purchasers, neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged in any form of “general solicitation or general advertising” within the meaning contemplated by Rule 502(c) of Regulation D.
With respect to factual matters, our opinion in paragraph 8 below is based solely on the Officers’ Certificate, which we assume (without any independent investigation) to be accurate in all respects.
We are opining herein solely as to the state laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law statute and the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that any other laws govern any of the matters as to which we are opining below, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that such laws are identical to the state laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to whether such assumption is reasonable or correct.

For purposes of our opinions rendered below, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the future performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents will be identical to the facts and law governing its performance on the date of this opinion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. | The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is, to our knowledge, currently conducted, to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the State of North Carolina. |
2. | The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). |
3. | The Securities and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Shares, when issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, and the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
4. | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
5. | The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not (a) violate the provisions of any U.S. federal or New York state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or the Delaware General Corporation Law statute; (b) violate the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended to date; or (c) violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator specifically naming the Company of which we are aware. |

6. | Based in part on the representations of each of the Purchasers in Article III of the Agreement (including the Registration Questionnaires, a form of which is attached as Exhibit D to the Agreement), the offer, issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to the Agreement are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, it being understood that no opinion is expressed herein as to any subsequent resale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares. |
7. | Based in part on the representations of each of the Purchasers in Article III of the Agreement (including the Registration Questionnaires, a form of which is attached as Exhibit D to the Agreement), no filing, consent, approval, authorization or qualification of or with any United States federal or New York state court, governmental authority or agency is required for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Securities, except with respect to state securities or Blue Sky laws, as to which we express no opinion. |
8. | The Company is not an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. |
This opinion is provided to the Purchasers as a legal opinion only and not as a guaranty or warranty of the matters discussed herein. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing sources of law or subsequent developments in law or changes in facts or circumstances which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.
This opinion is rendered only to the Purchasers and is solely for the benefit of the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. This opinion may not be relied upon by the Purchasers for any other purpose, nor may this opinion be provided to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent.

SCHEDULE A
EXHIBIT F
Plan of Distribution
The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of their successors in interest selling shares received from a named selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer after the date of this prospectus (all of whom may be selling stockholders), may offer and sell the shares covered by this prospectus from time to time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the shares are listed, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling stockholders may sell the shares by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:
(a) | block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
(b) | purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
(c) | an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Global Market; |
(d) | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases; |
(e) | in privately negotiated transactions; |
(f) | short sales; |
(g) | in options transactions; |
(h) | through the distribution of the shares by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders; |
(i) | one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; and |
(j) | any combination of any of these methods of sale. |
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
The selling stockholders may also transfer the shares by gift. We do not know of any arrangements by the selling stockholders for the sale of any of the shares.
The selling stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the shares. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell shares acting as agent for a selling stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold shares at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions in any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the shares are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the shares are covered by this prospectus.
From time to time, one or more of the selling stockholders may pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them. The pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom the shares have been hypothecated will, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be selling stockholders. The number of a selling stockholder’s shares offered under this prospectus will decrease as and when it takes such actions. The plan of distribution for that selling stockholder’s shares will otherwise remain unchanged. In addition, a selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell the shares short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the shares offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.
To the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, the aggregate amount of selling stockholders’ shares being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling stockholder and/or purchasers of selling stockholders’ shares of securities, for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
A selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with that selling stockholder, including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the shares by those broker-dealers. A selling stockholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the shares offered hereby to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those securities. A selling
2
stockholder may also loan or pledge the shares offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the shares offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged shares offered hereby.
The selling stockholders and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling stockholders and any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular shares being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, if applicable.
Each selling stockholder who is an affiliate of a broker-dealer has represented and warranted to us that he acquired the shares subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of his purchase of such shares such selling stockholder had no agreements, plans or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities. As such, they are not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. We have advised each selling stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission.
We have agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
The shares offered hereby were originally issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. We agreed to register the shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the earliest of three years after the date of the original purchase by the selling stockholders, the date on which all shares eligible for sale under this registration statement held by selling stockholders may be sold or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 without any volume or manner of sale restrictions or the date on which the selling stockholders have sold all of the shares eligible for sale under this registration statement pursuant to a registration statement to or through a broker
3
or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction or in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(1). We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, but not including underwriting commissions or brokerage fees, taxes of any kind and any expenses of counsel or other advisors to the selling stockholders.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any shares by the selling stockholders.
We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered hereby.
