The Company will provide, at the Company's expense, such other legal

Conversion
of Note. |
(a) |
Upon
the conversion of a Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own
cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and
delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company's transfer
agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or its
nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such
denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants
that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be
given to the transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that, unless
waived by the Subscriber, the Shares will be free-trading, and freely
transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or
transferability of the Shares provided the Shares are being sold pursuant
to an effective registration statement covering the Shares or are
otherwise exempt from registration. |
(b) |
Subscriber
will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the
Note, interest, any sum due to the Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents including Liquidated Damages, or part thereof by telecopying an
executed and completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as
Exhibit
A to
the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or
otherwise pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement. The Subscriber will
not be
required to surrender the Note
until the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a
Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the
provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion
Date.
The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit
the Company's Common Stock certificates representing the Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Note to the Subscriber via express courier for
receipt by such Subscriber within three (3) business days after receipt by
the Company of the Notice of Conversion (such third day being the
"Delivery
Date").
In the event the Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of
the Shares must be
made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer
has been made by the Subscriber
and the Subscriber has complied with all applicable securities laws in
connection with the sale of the Common Stock, including, without
limitation, the prospectus delivery requirements. A Note representing the
balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to
the Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided the Subscriber
delivers the
original Note to the Company. In the event that a Subscriber elects not to
surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the
Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or
damage attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the
actual amount then due under the Note. The Company will obtain from the
Company’s transfer agent a signed letter in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit
F,
and deliver such letter to the Subscribers on the Initial Closing Date.
“Business
Day”
as employed in the Transaction Documents is a day that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading for three or more
hours. |
94
(c) |
The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption
Amount described in Section 7.2 hereof, respectively after the Delivery
Date or the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined)
could result in economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the
Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the
form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note
in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each
$10,000 of Note principal amount being converted of the corresponding
Shares which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to
the Subscriber, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to
effect delivery of the Shares by the Delivery Date or make payment by the
Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to
revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or rescind all or
part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of a notice to such
effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber shall each
be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the
delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described
above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission
is given to the Company. |
(d) |
Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends
required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum
permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscriber and thus
refunded to the Company. |
7.2. |
Mandatory
Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.
In the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Shares, (ii) the
Company fails to timely deliver Shares on a Delivery Date, (iii) upon the
occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Note or in
this Agreement), (iv) of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, or (v) a Change of Control (as defined below) that continues for
more than ten days, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must
pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business days after request by the
Subscriber, at the Subscriber’s election, a sum of money determined by (y)
multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated
by the Subscriber by 120%, or (z) multiplying the number of Shares
otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal
and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of
such designation being a “Deemed
Conversion Date”)
at the Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion
Date by the highest closing price of the Common Stock on the principal
market for the period commencing on the Deemed Conversion Date until the
day prior to the receipt by the Subscriber of the Mandatory Redemption
Payment, whichever is greater, together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon ("Mandatory
Redemption Payment").
The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the
same date as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10)
business days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date").
Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note
principal and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.
Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have
been paid or accrued for the twenty day period prior to the actual receipt
of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited
against the Mandatory Redemption Payment. For purposes of this Section
7.2, “Change
in Control”
shall mean (i) the Company no longer having a class of shares publicly
tradable and listed on a Principal Market, (ii) the Company becoming a
Subsidiary of another entity, (iii) a majority of the board of directors
of the Company as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of
the Company, or (iv) if the holders of the Company’s Common Stock as of
the Closing Date beneficially own at any time after the Closing Date less
than fifty percent of the Common stock owned by them on the Closing
Date. |
95
7.3. |
Maximum
Conversion.
The Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that
amount of the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common
Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of
common stock beneficially owned by the Subscriber and its Affiliates on a
Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Note with respect to which the determination of
this provision is being made on a Conversion Date, which would result in
beneficial ownership by the Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than
4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on such
Conversion Date. For the purposes of the provision to the immediately
preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber
shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate
conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber may waive
the conversion limitation described in this Section 7.3, in whole or in
part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the
Company. The Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company
deemed beneficially owned by the Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99%
amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above
4.99%. |
7.4. |
Injunction
Posting of Bond.
In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof or
exercise the Warrant in whole or in part, the Company may not refuse
conversion or exercise based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one
associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a
court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part
of such Note or exercise of all or part of such Warrant shall have been
sought and obtained by the Company and
the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in
the amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note,
or aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares which are sought to be
subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of
which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives an order
restraining it from converting from a court or administration agency of
competent jurisdiction, it shall comply without a bond
requirement. |
7.5. |
Buy-In.
In addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, if the
Company fails to deliver to the Subscriber such shares issuable upon
conversion of a Note by the Delivery Date and if after seven (7) business
days after the Delivery Date the Subscriber purchases (in an open market
transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the Common Stock which the
Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a "Buy-In"),
then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which
(A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds
(B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note for which
such conversion was not timely honored,
together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until
such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount
shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest, the Company shall
be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000,
plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In. | |
96
7.6 |
Adjustments.

upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants shall be

The
Company agrees until such time as 90% of the amount outstanding on the
Notes shall have been fully paid or converted that the Lead Investor shall
have the right,
but
not the obligation,
from time to time to designate in writing a nominee to serve as a member

incurred by any directors of the Company. It
is provided and agreed that the actions and advice of any person while
serving pursuant to this section as a Director or an observer at meetings
of the Board of Directors shall be construed to be the actions and advice
of that person alone and not be construed as actions of any Subscriber as
to any notice, requirements or rights of any Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents, nor as action of any Subscriber to approve
modifications, consents, amendments or waivers thereof; and all such
actions or notices shall be deemed actions or notices to the Subscribers
only when duly provided in writing and given in accordance with the
provisions of the Transaction Documents.
The relationship between the Company and the Subscribers is, and shall at
all times remain, solely that of the Company with a purchaser of its
securities. The Subscribers neither undertake nor assume any
responsibility or duty to the Company or Borrower to review, inspect,
supervise, pass judgment upon, or inform the Company or Borrower of any
matter in connection with any phase of the Company’s business, operations,
or condition, financial or otherwise. The Company shall rely entirely upon
its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection,
supervision, exercise of judgment, or information supplied to the Company
by the Subscribers, or any representative or agent of the Subscribers, in
connection with any such matter is for the protection of the Subscribers,
and neither the Company, Borrower nor any third party is entitled to rely
thereon. It shall be deemed a default of a material obligation under the
Notes if Company or Borrower does not comply with the requirements of this
section. |
(r) |
Limited
Standstill.
The Company will deliver to the Subscribers on or before the Closing Date
and enforce the provisions of irrevocable standstill agreements
(“Limited
Standstill Agreements”)
in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibit
H1 and H2,
with the parties identified on Schedule

hereto. |

Covenants
of the Company and Subscriber Regarding
Indemnification. |
(a) |
The
Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the
Subscribers, the Subscribers' officers, directors, agents, Affiliates,
control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost,
expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal
fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscriber or any
such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material
misrepresentation by Company or material breach of any warranty by Company
in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or
other agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable
notice and/or cure periods, any material breach or default in performance
by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the
Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and
Subscriber relating hereto. |
(b) |
Each
Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the
Company and each of the Company’s officers, directors, agents, Affiliates,
control persons against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation,
loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred
by or imposed upon the Company or any such person which results, arises
out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by such
Subscriber in this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached
hereto, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any
applicable notice and/or cure periods, any material breach or default in
performance by such Subscriber of any covenant or undertaking to be
performed by such Subscriber hereunder, or any other agreement entered
into by the Company and Subscribers, relating
hereto. |
(c) |
In
no event shall the liability of any Subscriber or permitted successor
hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered
in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the
net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of
Registrable Securities (as defined herein). |
(d) |
The
procedures set forth in Section 11.6 shall apply to the indemnification
set forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b)
above. |
11.1. |
Registration
Rights.
The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of
the Securities. |
(i) |
On
one occasion, for a period commencing one hundred and twenty-one (121)
days after the Initial Closing Date, but not later than two (2) years
after the Second Closing Date, upon a written request therefor from any
record holder or holders of more than 50% of the Shares issued and
issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Notes, Fee Shares, and
outstanding Warrant Shares, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement under the 1933 Act registering the
Registrable Securities, as defined in Section 11.1(iv) hereof, which are
the subject of such request for unrestricted public resale by the holder
thereof. For purposes of Sections 11.1(i) and 11.1(ii), Registrable
Securities shall not include Securities which are (A) registered for
resale in an effective registration statement, (B) included for
registration in a pending registration statement, or (C) which have been
issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer
pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. Upon the receipt of such request,
the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders
of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be
filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable
Securities for which it has received written requests within ten (10) days
after the Company gives such written notice. Such other requesting record
holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right
under this Section 11.1(i). |
102
(ii) |
If
the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under
the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for
the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to
registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available
for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public,
provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for
resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration
statement, each such time it will give at least fifteen (15) days' prior
written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its
intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by
the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by
the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously
registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which
registration shall have been so requested to be included with the
securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be
filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or
other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the
holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller”
or “Sellers”).
In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall
be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock
of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be
included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing
underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter
shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely
affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein;
provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of
any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, or Section
11.4 hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any
registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii) without
thereby incurring any liability to the
Seller. |
(iii) |
If,
at the time any written request for registration is received by the
Company pursuant to Section 11.1(i), the Company has determined to proceed
with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under
the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of
any of its securities for the Company's own account and the Company
actually does file such other registration statement, such written request
shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 11.1(ii) rather
than Section 11.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section
11.1(ii). |
(iv) |
The
Company shall file with the Commission a Form SB-2 registration statement
(the “Registration
Statement”)
(or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the
Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act not
later than
thirty (30) business days after the Initial Closing Date (the
“Filing
Date”),
and cause to be declared effective not
later than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing
Date (the
“Effective
Date”).
The Company will register not less than a number of shares of common stock
in the aforedescribed registration statement that is equal to 175%
of the Shares issuable upon conversion of all of the Notes issuable to the
Subscribers, 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to this
Agreement upon exercise of the Class A Warrants, Class B Warrants, and Fee
Shares (collectively the “Registrable
Securities”).
The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for
the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, pro rata,
and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each such
Subscriber and Warrant holder. The Registration Statement will immediately
be amended or additional registration statements will be immediately filed
by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock
to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by
virtue of the Registrable Securities. Except with the written consent of
the Subscriber, or as described on Schedule 8 hereto, no securities of the
Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the
Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at
any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective
by the Commission (“Actual
Effective Date”)
the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the
Sellers fewer than 150%
of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon full conversion of all sums
due under the Notes and 100% of the Fee Shares and Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants. |
103
11.2. |
Registration
Procedures.
If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section
11.1(i), 11.1(ii), or (iv) to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible: |
(a) |
subject
to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement required by Section 11, with respect
to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided),
promptly provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of
all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify Subscribers (by
telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by Subscribers) and Grushko
& Xxxxxxx, P.C. (by telecopier and by email to Xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx)
on or before 6:00 PM EST on the first business day that the Company
receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further
comments on the Registration Statement, and (ii) the registration
statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as
required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the
Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the
Notes
and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 10.4 of this
Agreement); |
(b) |
prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as
may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such
registration statement has been effective for a period of two (2) years,
and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of
disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
|
(c) |
furnish
to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the
registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each
preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to
facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered
by such registration statement or make them electronically available;
|
(d) |
use
its commercially
reasonable best
efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of New York
and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to
qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction; |
(e) |
if
applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the
Company is then listed; |
(f) |
notify
the Subscribers within two hours of the Company’s becoming aware that a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933
Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a
result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission,
state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement covering any of the Shares;
and |
104
(g) |
provided
same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the
1934 Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter, all
publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly
available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the
seller, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement. |
11.3. |
Provision
of Documents.
In connection with each registration described in this Section 11, each
Seller will furnish to the Company in writing such information and
representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed
distribution by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure
compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.
|
11.4. |
Non-Registration
Events.
The Company and the Subscribers agree that the Sellers will suffer damages
if the Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date and not
declared effective by the Commission by the Effective Date, and any
registration statement required under Section 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not
filed within 60 days after written request and declared effective by the
Commission within 120 days after such request, and maintained in the
manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 11 hereof, and
it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, if (A) the Registration Statement is not filed on
or before the Filing Date, (B) is not declared effective on or before the
Effective Date, (C) due to the action or inaction of the Company, the
Registration Statement is not declared effective within five (5) business
days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral
communication from the Commission that the Registration Statement will not
be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (D) if the
registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not
filed within 60 days after such written request, or is not declared
effective within 120 days after such written request, or (E) any
registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i), 11.1(ii) or 11.1(iv)
is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective
(without being succeeded within fifteen (15) business days by an effective
replacement or amended registration statement) for a period of time which
shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365
days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective) or more than 20 consecutive days (each such event referred to
in clauses A through E of this Section 11.4 is referred to herein as a
"Non-Registration Event"), then the Company shall deliver to the holder of
Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to two
percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days or part thereof, thereafter of the
Purchase Price of the Notes remaining unconverted and purchase price of
Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes owned of record by such holder
which are subject to such Non-Registration Event. The Company must pay the
Liquidated Damages in cash or an amount equal to two hundred percent of
such cash Liquidated Damages if paid in additional shares of registered
unlegended free-trading shares of Common Stock. Such Common Stock shall be
valued at the Conversion Price in effect on the first day of each thirty
(30) day or shorter period for which Liquidated Damages are payable. The
Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each
thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated
Damages are payable. In the event a Registration Statement is filed by the
Filing Date but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the
Commission, then such Registration Statement will be deemed to have not
been filed. All
oral or written comments received from the Commission relating to the
Registration Statement must be satisfactorily responded to within
ten (10) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.
Failure to
timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for
which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the
holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate set forth above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to the
Subscriber under this Section 11.4 for any events or delays occurring as a
consequence of the acts or omissions of the Subscribers contrary to the
obligations undertaken by Subscribers in this Agreement or if the federal
government or the Commission is closed on any day which is otherwise a
business day (i.e.: government shut down for budgetary reasons) or other
acts of G-d. Liquidated Damages will not accrue nor be payable pursuant to
this Section 11.4 nor will a Non-Registration Event be deemed to have
occurred for times during which Registrable Securities are transferable by
the holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
1933 Act. |
105
11.5. |
Expenses.
All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing
expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent
public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and
registrars, are called “Registration
Expenses.”
All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale
of Registrable Securities are called "Selling
Expenses."
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the
registration statement under Section 11. Selling Expenses in connection
with each registration statement under Section 11 shall be borne by the
Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the
number of shares sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold
under such registration statement or as all Sellers thereunder may
agree. |
11.6. |
Indemnification
and Contribution. |
(a) |
In
the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933
Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by
law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller,
each director of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable
Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such
Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the
Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable
Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to
the provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such
underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent
that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to
send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to
the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the
sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such
damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged
omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with information furnished by any such Seller, or any such controlling
person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or
prospectus. |
106
(b) |
In
the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the
1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly
will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933
Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling
person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of
or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each
such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action, provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any
such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such,
furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in
such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however,
that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net
proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration
statement. |
(c) |
Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section
11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and
to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In
case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it
shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent
it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and
of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party
or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified
parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel
and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the
defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such
separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be
reimbursed by the indemnifying party as
incurred. |
107
(d) |
In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint
liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or
any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to this Section 11.6 but it is judicially determined (by the
entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction
and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of
appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may
be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller
in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this
Section 11.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to
which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion
represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its
securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public
offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement,
provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price
of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement;
and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to
contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. |
11.7. |
Delivery
of Unlegended Shares. |
(a) |
Within
three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date”)
after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that
Shares or Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by a Subscriber
have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under
the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery
requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if
required, have been satisfied, and (iii) the original share certificates
representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in
the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the
Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the
requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver,
and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its
transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and
opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock
without any legends including the legend set forth in Section
4(h)
above, reissuable pursuant to any effective and current Registration
Statement described in Section 11 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule
144 under the 1933 Act (the “Unlegended
Shares”);
and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the
Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the
balance of the submitted Shares certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at
the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by
electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date. Transfer fees shall be the responsibility of the
Seller. |
(b) |
In
lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository
Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber,
so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the
Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement
of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to
electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of
Subscriber’s prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date. |
108
(c) |
The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than two business days after the
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a
Subscriber. As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company
agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the
amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000
of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery
default. If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver
Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate of
thirty (30) days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities
subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem
all or any portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such
default at a price per share equal to 120% of the Purchase Price of such
Common Stock and Warrant Shares (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
The amount of the aforedescribed liquidated damages that have accrued or
been paid for the twenty day period prior to the receipt by the Subscriber
of the Unlegended Redemption Amount shall be credited against the
Unlegended Redemption Amount. The Company shall pay any payments incurred
under this Section in immediately available funds upon
demand. |
(d) |
In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company
fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to
this Agreement, within seven (7) business days after the Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date and the Subscriber purchases (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was
entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"),
then the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any
remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which
(A) the Subscriber's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds
(B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered
to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares |
(e) |
In
the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as
described in Section 11.7 and the Company is required to deliver such
Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to
deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any
one associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any
violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or
temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or
enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares or exercise of all or part of
said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained
and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such
Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase
price of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares which are subject to the
injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in
effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and
the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent
Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s
favor. |

12. |
(a) |
Right
of First Refusal.
Unti0l the expiration of the 364th day after the Effective Date, the
Subscribers shall be given not less than seven (7) business days prior
written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or
other securities or debt obligations, except in connection with (i) full
or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger,
acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the
securities or assets of corporation or other entity, (ii)
the
Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license
agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are
not for the purpose of raising capital, (iii) the Company’s issuance of
Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common
Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans,
(iv) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which
are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement, (v) the payment of any
interest on the Notes and Liquidated Damages, (vi) as
has been described in the Reports or Other Written Information filed with
the Commission or delivered to the Subscribers prior to the Initial
Closing Date, (vii) strategic investors, subject to the reasonable
approval of the Lead Investor, and (viii) up to $500,000 of additional
Note principal and Warrants to a single Subscriber on the same terms and
conditions as the Offering, subject to the reasonable approval of the Lead
Investor, which subscription must be completed prior to the Filing Date
(collectively the foregoing are “Excepted
Issuances”).
The aggregate issuances of Common Stock and rights to purchase Common
Stock shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock per year in the
aggregate for all issuances described in Sections (i), (ii), (iii), and
(vii) above, which issuances may not include any registration rights at
all and which the Company agrees it will not register for resale.
The
Subscribers who exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall
have the right during the seven (7) business days following receipt of the
notice to purchase such offered common stock, debt or other securities in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale
in the same proportion to each other as their purchase of Notes in the
Offering. In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the
notice period, the Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such
modification and shall have the right during the seven (7) business days
following the notice of modification, whichever is longer, to exercise
such right. |
(b) |
Offering
Restrictions.
Until the expiration of the Exclusion Period and during the pendency of an
Event of Default, except for the Excepted Issuances, the Company will not
enter into an agreement to nor issue any equity, convertible debt or other
securities convertible into common stock or equity of the Company nor
modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding at anytime, without
the prior written consent of the Subscriber, which consent may be withheld
for any reason. For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will
not enter into any equity line of credit or similar agreement, nor issue
or agree to issue any floating or variable priced equity linked
instruments nor any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights.
|
110
(c) |
Favored
Nations Provision.
Other than the Excepted Issuances, if at any time Notes or Warrants are
outstanding the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue any common
stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common
stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any
person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per
share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in respect of the
Shares, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in respect of the
Warrant Shares, without the consent of each Subscriber holding Notes,
Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares, then the Company shall issue, for
each such occasion, additional shares of Common Stock to each Subscriber
so that the average per share purchase price of the shares of Common Stock
issued to the Subscriber (of only the Common Stock or Warrant Shares still
owned by the Subscriber) is equal to such other lower price per share and
the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be
adjusted as provided in the Notes and the Warrants. The average Purchase
Price of the Shares and average exercise price in relation to the Warrant
Shares shall be calculated separately for the Shares and Warrant Shares.
The foregoing calculation and issuance shall be made separately for Shares
received upon conversion and separately for Warrant Shares. The delivery
to the Subscriber of the additional shares of Common Stock shall be not
later than the closing date of the transaction giving rise to the
requirement to issue additional shares of Common Stock. The Subscriber is
granted the registration rights described in Section 11 hereof in relation
to such additional shares of Common Stock except that the Filing Date and
Effective Date vis-à-vis such additional common shares shall be,
respectively, the thirtieth (30th)
and sixtieth (60th)
date after the closing date giving rise to the requirement to issue the
additional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and
adjustment described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of
the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of
Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock
shall result in the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon
the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance of such convertible
security, warrant, right or option and again at any time upon any
subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than
the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such
issuance. The rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 12 are in
addition to any other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this
Agreement, the Note, any Transaction Document, and any other agreement
referred to or entered into in connection herewith.
|
(d) |
Paid
In Kind.
The Subscriber may demand that some or all of the sums payable to the
Subscriber pursuant to Sections 7.1(c), 7.2, 7.5, 11.7(c), 11.7(d) and
11.7(e) that are not paid within ten business days of the required payment
date be paid in shares of Common Stock valued at the Conversion Price in
effect at the time Subscriber makes such demand or, at the Subscriber’s
election, at such other valuation described in the Transaction Documents.
In addition to any other rights granted to the Subscriber herein, the
Subscriber is also granted the registration rights set forth in Section
11.1(ii) hereof in relation to such shares of Common Stock and the Common
Stock issuable as Liquidated Damages pursuant to Section 11.4
hereof. |
111
(e) |
Maximum
Exercise of Rights.
In the event the exercise of the rights described in Sections 12(a), 12(c)
and 12(d) would
result in the issuance of an amount of common stock of the Company that
would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber
calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then
the issuance of such additional shares of common stock of the Company to
such Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as
such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such common stock without
exceeding the maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described
in Section 7.3 of this Agreement. The determination of when such common
stock may be issued shall be made by each Subscriber as to only such
Subscriber. |

113
(f) |
Independent
Nature of Subscribers.
The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way
for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the
decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such
Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any
information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business,
affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
which may have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent
or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its
agents or employees shall have any liability to any Subscriber (or any
other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials,
statements or opinions. The

and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto
(including, but not limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Subscriber in the
Registration Statement and (ii) review by, and consent to, such
Registration Statement by a Subscriber) shall be deemed to constitute the
Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other

the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The
Company acknowledges that each Subscriber shall be entitled to

and it shall not be necessary for any other Subscriber to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same
terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not
because Company was required or requested to do so by the
Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with
respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that
the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with
respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby. |
