SECTION 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The
--------------------------------------------------------
Company hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser as
follows:
3.1. Organization and Qualification: Complaince with Law. The Company
---------------------------------------------------
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has all requisite corporate
power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company
is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which it owns or leases property or transacts business and where the failure to
be so qualified would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition, properties or operations of the Company. The Company is in compliance
with all laws, ordinances, regulations and decrees applicable to its properties
(whether owned or leased) and its business, and all licenses, franchises,
governmental approvals, permits and other authorizations currently applicable to
it or its business or properties are in full force and effect and the Company
is in full compliance therewith, except where noncompliance with such laws,
ordinances, regulations, decrees, licenses, franchises, governmental approvals,
permits and authorizations would not, separately or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on the value or use of such properties or the results of
operations of such business.
3.2. Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of this Agreement. The
---------------------------------------------------------
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement (a) have been, or prior
to the Closing will be, duly authorized under applicable law by all requisite
corporate action by the Company, (b) will not violate any law or the
certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any provision of any
material indenture, mortgage, agreement, contract or other material instrument
to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its
properties or assets is bound, or result in a breach of or constitute (upon
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, mortgage,
agreement, contract or other material instrument, and (c) will not result in
the creation or imposition of any lien, security interest, mortgage, pledge,
charge or other encumbrance, of any material nature whatsoever, upon any
properties or assets of the Company. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting
parties' rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the
indemnification agreements of the Company in Section 6.3 hereof may be legally
unenforceable. Except for permits and similar authorizations required under
the securities or "blue sky" laws of certain jurisdictions and for such permits
and authorizations as have been obtained, no consent, approval, authorization
or other order of any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other
governmental body in the United States is required for the valid issuance and
sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Agreement.
3.3. Authorized Capital Stock. Prior to the Closing, the authorized
------------------------
capital of stock of the Company shall be increased to not fewer than 20,000,000
shares of Common Stock. The Shares will conform to the description thereof in
the Company's Private Placement Memorandum dated March 21, 1996 (the "Placement
Memorandum"). The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been
duly and validly issued to Thermedics Inc., and such shares are fully paid and
nonassessable and conform to the description thereof in the Placement
Memorandum. Except as set forth in or contemplated in the Placement
Memorandum, there are no outstanding rights (including, without limitation,
preemptive rights), warrants or options to acquire, or instruments convertible
into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock or other equity interest
in the Company or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or
arrangement of any kind relating to the issuance of any capital stock of the
Company, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights,
warrants or options.
3.4. Issuance, Sale and Delivery of the Shares. The issuance, sale and
-----------------------------------------
delivery of the Shares have been, or prior to the Closing will be, duly
authorized under applicable law by all requisite corporate action. The Shares,
as and when delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, and upon
payment by the Purchaser of the purchase price therefor, will be validly issued
and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable.
2
3.5. Legal Proceedings. There is no material legal or governmental
-----------------
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened or
contemplated to which the Company is or may be a party or of which the business
or property of the Company is or may be subject which is not disclosed in the
Placement Memorandum.
3.6. No Violation of Agreements. The Company is not in violation of its
--------------------------
charter, bylaws or other organizational documents, in violation of any law,
administrative regulation, ordinance or order of any court or governmental
agency, arbitration panel or authority applicable to the Company, which
violation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse
effect on the business or financial condition of the Company and its
subsidiaries taken together as a whole, and is not in default in any material
respect in the performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained
in any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness in any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which the properties
of the Company are bound, and there exists no condition which, with the passage
of time or otherwise, would constitute a material default under any such
document or instrument or result in the imposition of any penalty or the
acceleration of any material indebtedness.
3.7. Governmental Permits, Etc. The Company has all necessary
-------------------------
franchises, licenses, certificates and authorizations from any foreign, federal,
state or local government or governmental agency, department or body that are
currently necessary for the operation of the business of the Company, the
absence of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
3.8. Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company
--------------------
included in the Placement Memorandum present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates and for the
period indicated.
3.9. No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the respective dates as
--------------------------
of which information is given in the Placement Memorandum and except as
contemplated in the Placement Memorandum, the Company has not incurred any
material liabilities or obligations, direct or contingent, other than in the
ordinary course of business, and there has not been any material adverse change
in the Company's financial condition, results of operations, business,
prospects, key personnel or capitalization on a consolidated basis.
3.10. Placement Memorandum. The information contained in the Placement
--------------------
Memorandum is true and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof;
and the Placement Memorandum does not contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading.
SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser.
----------------------------------------------------------
The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that:
4.1 Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of the Agreement. The
--------------------------------------------------------
Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity 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. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
3
obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' and contracting
parties rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as the indemnification agreements
of the Purchaser in Section 6.3 hereof may be legally unenforceable.
4.2 Investment Representations.
--------------------------
(a) The Purchaser, taking into account the personnel and
resources he can practically bring to bear on the purchase of the Shares
contemplated hereby, is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making,
and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in shares
presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the
Shares, including investments in securities issued by the Company, and has
requested, received, reviewed and considered all information he deems relevant
in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares.
(b) The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for investment and
with no present intention of distributing any of the Shares (this representation
and warranty not limiting the Purchaser's right to sell pursuant to the
Registration Statement or to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.3). The
Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are subject to restrictions on
transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as
permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration, or pursuant to
an exemption therefrom.
(c) The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly,
voluntarily offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit
any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the
Shares except in compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) The Purchaser has, in connection with his decision to
purchase the Shares, relied solely upon the Placement Memorandum and the
representations and warranties of the Company contained herein.
(e) The Purchaser is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(f) The Purchaser will not make any reoffer or resale of the
Shares unless the reoffer and resale qualify as exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and a legal opinion
satisfactory to the Company is given to that effect.
SECTION 5. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
------------------------------------------------------
Except as provided in Section 6.4 and, notwithstanding any investigation made by
any party to this Agreement, all representations and warranties made by the
Company and the Purchaser herein shall survive the execution of this Agreement
and the delivery to the Purchaser of the Shares for a period of two years from
the Closing Date, after which time they shall be deemed to be extinguished and
of no further force and effect.
4
SECTION 6. Registration of the Shares; Compliance with the Securities
----------------------------------------------------------
Act.
---
6.1. Registration Requirements.
-------------------------
(a) Within 120 days after the closing of an initial
underwritten public offering of Common Stock (the "IPO"), the Company will
(subject to the approval of the underwriters of such offering) file a
registration statement (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act
with respect to the resale of all Shares held by the Purchasers, and the Company
will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become
effective as soon as practicable. The Purchaser undertakes in connection
therewith to execute and deliver in a timely manner all such information and
materials and take all such action as may be required in order to permit the
Company to comply with all applicable legal requirements and to obtain the
acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement.
(b) The Company will use its best efforts to prepare and
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") such
amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used
in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
effective until all the Shares registered thereunder have been sold pursuant
thereto or until, by reason of Rule 144(k) of the Commission under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, the Shares are no longer
required to be registered for the sale thereof by the Purchasers. The Purchaser
acknowledges that there may be times when the Company 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 Commission, or until such time as the Company has
filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Purchaser hereby covenants that it will
not sell any Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at
the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser notice of the suspension of
the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the
Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said
prospectus, and the Company's indemnification obligations in Section 6.3 will
not apply to sales made in violation of this provision.
6.2. Registration Procedures.
(a) The Company will furnish to the Purchaser with respect
to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to each
underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses and
preliminary prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act and such other documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order
to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares
by the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and covenants that
it will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and of such
other securities or blue sky laws as may be applicable in connection with any
use of such prospectuses or preliminary prospectuses.
(b) The Company will file documents required of the Company
for normal blue sky clearance in a reasonable number of states specified in
writing by the Purchaser, provided,
5
however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or
consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so
qualified or has not so consented.
(c) The Company will bear all expenses in connection with
the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 6.2 and the
registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than
fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Purchaser.
(d) The Company understand that the Purchaser disclaims
being an underwriter with respect to the Shares, but the Purchaser being deemed
an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations they have
hereunder.
(e) The Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any
disposition of the Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the
Securities Act except as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to
in Section 6.1.
6.3. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) For the purpose of this Section 6.3:
(i) the term "Selling Shareholder" shall mean the
Purchaser and any person controlling the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act;
(ii) the term "Registration Statement" shall mean any
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or
relating to the Registration Statement referred
to in Section 6.1; and
(iii) the term "untrue statement" shall mean any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact in the Registration Statement,
or any omission or alleged omission to state in
the Registration Statement a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Selling Shareholder from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which such Selling Shareholder may become subject (under the Securities Act
or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement contained in the Registration Statement on the effective date thereof,
or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included
in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling
Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or
claim, provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is
based upon, an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance
upon and in conformity with
6
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Selling
Shareholder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement,
or the failure of such Selling Shareholder to comply with the covenants and
agreements contained herein respecting sale of the Shares.
(c) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the
Registration Statement and each director of the Company) from and against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such
officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the
Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are
based upon, any failure of the Purchaser to comply with the covenants and
agreements contained herein, or any untrue statement contained in the
Registration Statement on the effective date thereof if such untrue statement
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the
Registration Statement, and the Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such
officer, director or controlling person), as the case may be, for any legal or
other expense reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to
defend any such action, proceeding or claim.
(d) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a
notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity
is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6.3,
such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such
claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions
hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified
thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and,
to the extent it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the
indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such
indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof, provided, however,
that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it
inappropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the indemnified person, for the same
counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or
any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided,
however, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties.
6.4. Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions
-----------------------------------------
precedent imposed by Section 4 or this Section 6 upon the transferability of the
Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares when
such Shares shall or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended
method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such
Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in
order to comply with the Securities Act.
