THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 22nd day of October 2009, by and between PhotoMedex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the purchaser whose name and address is set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchaser”).
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (as defined below), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, the Company desires to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company, shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Purchaser hereby agree as follows:
1) Authorization of Sale of the Shares.
a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to an aggregate of 9,100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, which issuance and sale shall be effected in two tranches (the “Offering”). The Company reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of Shares sold in the Offering.
b) The Shares to be issued and sold to the Purchaser at the First Tranche Closing (as defined in Section 3(a) hereof) are sometimes referred to herein as the “First Tranche Shares.” The Shares to be issued and sold to the Purchaser at the Second Tranche Closing (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof) are sometimes referred to herein as the “Second Tranche Shares.”
2) Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Shares.
a) Purchase and Sale of Shares. At
each of the First Tranche Closing and the Second Tranche Closing, the
Company will issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will buy
from the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
that number of First Tranche Shares, if any, and Second Tranche Shares,
if any, as is set forth below at the purchase price set forth below:
Number of Shares to |
Price Per Share |
Aggregate Price |
|
First Tranche Shares | _______ | $0.65 | $______ |
Second Tranche Shares | _______ | $0.65 | $______ |
For the purposes of clarity, if the Purchaser is not obligated to purchase any First Tranche Shares or Second Tranche Shares (as indicated in the table above), then the provisions of this Agreement relating to the First Tranche Shares and the First Tranche Closing or the Second Tranche Shares and the Second Tranche Closing, as applicable, shall not be applicable to the Purchaser.
b) Other Purchasers; Agreements. The Company proposes to enter into securities purchase agreements substantially similar to this Agreement with certain other investors concurrently herewith (each, an “Other Purchaser” and collectively, the “Other Purchasers”) and expects to complete sales of the Shares to them concurrently with the Closings (as defined in Section 3(b) hereof). The Purchaser and the Other Purchasers are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Purchasers,” and this Agreement and the purchase agreements executed by the Other Purchasers are sometimes collectively referred herein to as the “Agreements.”
c) Perseus Right of First Refusal. Notwithstanding contained herein to the contrary,
i) the number of First Tranche Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser at the First Tranche Closing or the number of Second Tranche Shares to be purchased by the Purchaser at the Second Tranche Closing, as applicable, shall be reduced to the extent that Perseus Partners VII, L.P. (“Perseus”) exercises its right of first refusal to purchase its pro rata share of the Shares to be issued at such Closing pursuant to Section 5.24 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2008, by and between the Company and Perseus, as amended (the “Perseus Securities Purchase Agreement”) as follows:
First Tranche Closing Cutback: Cutback Number of First Tranche Shares = First Tranche Shares * (1-(Shares to be purchased by Perseus at the First Tranche Closing/Aggregate number of Shares to be sold by the Company at the First Tranche Closing))
Second Tranche Closing Cutback: Cutback Number of Second Tranche Shares = Second Tranche Shares * (1-(Shares to be purchased by Perseus at the Second Tranche Closing/Aggregate number of Shares to be sold by the Company at the Second Tranche Closing))
The number of shares as determined by the formula above shall be referred to for all purposes of this Agreement as the “First Tranche Shares” or the “Second Tranche Shares,” as applicable.
ii) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, without any action on the part of the Company or the Purchaser, immediately upon Perseus providing irrevocable notice to the Company that it is exercising its right of first refusal to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Perseus Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Company notes that the period of ten (10) business days in which Perseus had to exercise either of its rights of first refusal has expired, and Perseus did not amend its earlier indication that it would not exercise either of its rights of first refusal.
d) Purpose; Use of Proceeds. The purpose of the Offering is to raise sufficient equity capital in order to enable the Company to remain solvent and continue as a going concern. The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares in the Offering to pay down outstanding accounts payable to vendors and service providers, to meet near-term debt service requirements, to redirect and refocus its business plan, and otherwise to apply to general working capital purposes.
3) Delivery of the Shares at the Closings.

The completion of the purchase and sale of the First Tranche Shares (the “First Tranche Closing”) shall occur at the offices of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx XXX, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the First Tranche Closing set forth in Section 4(a) and Section 4(b), or on such later date or at such different location as the parties hereto shall agree in writing (the “First Tranche Closing Date”).

i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that following the exercise of the piggyback right pursuant to this Article 8 and the inclusion in such registration statement of all or part of the Purchased Shares then held by the Purchaser, the Commission informs the Company that such registration statement cannot be filed as a secondary offering on Form S-3 due to the aggregate number of securities to be registered thereunder, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to exclude such portion of the Purchaser’s Purchased Shares from such registration statement to the extent necessary to permit the filing of such registration statement on Form S-3.
ii) The Company shall be permitted to exclude the Purchaser’s Purchased Shares from a registration statement if such Purchaser fails to timely comply with the Company’s request for information pursuant to Section 6(j) hereof; provided, however, that if the Purchaser provides such information prior to the filing of such registration statement (or prior to the final amendment thereto prior to such registration statement being declared effective) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include such Purchased Shares in such registration statement.

iv) at any time after December 31, 2009, by the Company or the Purchaser, by written notice of termination given by the terminating party to the non-terminating party, if both of the Closings shall not have occurred on or before such date and such failure to consummate is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party.
b) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 10(a), this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of the Company or the Purchasers (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives or affiliates), except that the provisions of Section 11 through 18, inclusive, shall continue to apply following any such termination.
