Recitals
WHEREAS,
on September 7, 2006, the Company and the Purchasers entered into a Series
B
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”),
Section 3.21 of which requires that the Company deposit an aggregate of
3,245,784 shares of Common Stock in an escrow account, as adjustment shares,
to
be issued to the Series B Purchasers in proportion to their purchases of the
Preferred Shares if the Company fails to meet certain revenue targets for its
fiscal year 2006 or 2007, and in each such failure, the Company shall issue
or
cause to be issued from the Adjustment Account 1,622,892 Adjustment Shares
under
certain conditions;
WHEREAS,
the amount of the Adjustment Shares was established and agreed to by the parties
based on a total financing of $12,800,000, as originally contemplated by the
parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement, through a series of private offerings
of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company;
WHEREAS,
the total amount of the private financing of the Company was $9,281,600;
WHEREAS,
the parties hereto have agreed that the amount of the Adjustment Shares under
Section 3.21 of the Stock Purchase Agreement should be reduced proportionally,
and Schedule 3.8 to the Stock Purchase Agreement which provides for the use
of
proceeds of the financing should be amended, each to reflect the reduced amount
of the total financing; and
WHEREAS,
the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Stock Purchase Agreement as
hereinafter set forth; and
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, conditions and other agreements
set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section
1. Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
A.
The
parties agree that Section 3.21 of the Stock Purchase Agreement is amended
to
read in its entirety as follows:
1
“Section
3.21 Revenue Targets. The Company shall establish an adjustment escrow account
(the “Adjustment
Account”)
in its
name in which the Company shall deposit 2,353,518 shares of Common Stock to
be
issued to the Purchasers, along with each other purchaser of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock in an Additional Series B Financing (collectively,
the “Series
B Purchasers”),
as
adjustment shares (the “Adjustment
Shares”)
with
respect to the Company’s audited earnings after taxes. The Adjustment Account
shall be managed by a third party law firm acting as escrow agent for such
purpose. In the event that (A) the Company’s earnings after taxes for its 2006
fiscal year is less than $5,795,000 or (B) (i) if, by the end of its 2007 fiscal
year the Company has raised not less than $20,000,000 through the exercise
of
warrants or through an equity or debt offering (the “Capital
Condition”),
the
Company’s earnings after taxes for its 2007 fiscal year is less than $9,120,000
or (ii) if the Capital Condition has not been met, the Company’s earnings after
taxes for its 2007 fiscal year is less than $7,900,000, the Company shall issue
or cause to be issued from the Adjustment Account in each instance 1,176,756
Adjustment Shares; provided,
however,
that if
by the end of its 2007 fiscal year the Company has met the Capital Condition
by
procuring not less then $20,000,000 in debt financing, the Company shall issue
or cause to be issued one-half of the Adjustment Shares that would otherwise
be
due. The
Adjustment Shares shall be issued to the
Series B Purchasers in proportion to their purchases of the Preferred Shares
promptly following public disclosure that such revenue target has not been
achieved. In
addition, if the Company shall determine to proceed with the preparation and
filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act in connection with
the proposed offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its
security holders (other than a registration statement on Form X-0, X-0 or
other limited purpose form), then the Company will cause all Adjustment Shares
issued pursuant to this Section 3.21 to be included in such registration
statement, all to the extent requisite to permit the resale by the Series B
Purchasers of such Adjustment Shares.”
A.
The
parties agree that Schedule 3.8 to the Stock Purchase Agreement is amended
to
read in its entirety as follows:
SCHEDULE
3.8
Use
of Proceeds
The
following Use of Proceeds schedule assumes the use by the Company of $1.64
million of its existing funds in addition to the total amount raised in the
closings of the sale of Preferred Stock and Warrants.
