The Company has not taken and will not take any action designed to or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in an unlawful manipulation of the price of the common stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities. The Company confirms that, to its knowledge, with the exception of the proposed sale of Securities as contemplated herein (as to which the Company makes not representation), neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.

All disclosures provided to the Purchasers regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the exhibits to this Agreement, furnished by the Company are true and correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) made by the Company or any of its officers or directors contained in the Company SEC Documents, or made available to the public generally since March 31, 2018, has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

4. Representations of the Investors. To induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to sell the Notes and Warrants, each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Authorization. The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Investor, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
(b) Purchase for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon the Investor’s representation to the Company, which by the Investor’s execution of this Agreement, the Investor hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Investor will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.
(c) Disclosure of Information; Sophistication. The Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities with the Company’s management and has had an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The Investor has received all information it has requested from the Company that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Investor represents and warrants that it has the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment. The Investor acknowledges that investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 of this Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.
(d) Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Investor must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Investor acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Investor further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Investor’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 9 |
(e) Legends. The Investor understands that the Securities and any securities issued in respect of or exchange for the Securities, may bear one or all of the following legends (in substantially the form set forth below):
(i) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY and the SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”
(ii) Any legend required by the securities laws of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the Securities represented by the certificate so legended.
(f) No Public Market. The Investor understands that no public market now exists for the Securities, and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
(g) Accredited Investor. The Investor is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. The Investor satisfies the criteria indicated on the signature page hereto.
(h) Foreign Investors. If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), the Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Securities. The Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction.
(i) No General Solicitation. Neither the Investor, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.
(j) Exculpation Among Investors. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Investor agrees that neither any Investor nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Investor shall be liable to any other Investor for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
(k) Residence, Investment Decision. The Investor’s residence or principal place of business, and the location where the Investor made the decision to purchase the Notes and Warrants, is in the state set forth in the Investor’s address on the signature page hereto.
(l) No Finder’s Fees. Each Investor represents that it neither is nor will be obligated for any finder’s fee or commission in connection with this transaction. Each Investor agrees to indemnify and to hold harmless the Company from any liability for any commission or compensation in the nature of a finder’s or broker’s fee arising out of this transaction (and the costs and expenses of defending against such liability or asserted liability) for which each Investor or any of its officers, employees, or representatives is responsible.
(m) Further Assurances. Each Investor agrees and covenants that at any time and from time to time it will promptly execute and deliver to the Company such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Company may reasonably require in order to carry out the full intent and purpose of this Agreement and to comply with federal or state securities laws or other regulatory approvals.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 10 |
5. Further Agreements.
(a) Use of Proceeds. In accordance with the directions of the Company’s board of directors, the Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes and Warrants for product development and other general corporate purposes. Except for approximately $1 million of proceeds that the Company shall use to repay principal, interest, fees, and expenses related to the senior bridge notes of the Company held by Red Ocean Consulting, LLC and the Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx Revocable Trust Dated June 9, 1998, the proceeds from the sale of the Notes and Warrants shall not be used for the redemption or repurchase of debt or securities (other than the repurchase of securities from employees and directors pursuant to the Company’s omnibus stock plan), dividends or payments to officers other than regular salaries, relocation expenses and reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of the Company in the ordinary course of business.
(b) Reporting Status. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Note Shares and Warrant Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act. The Company will otherwise take such further action as an Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell the Note Shares and Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act or any successor rule or regulation adopted by the SEC.
(c) Adjustments in Share Numbers. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of common stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of common stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement or the Note or the Warrants to a number of shares or price per share shall be amended appropriately to account for such event.
6. Registration Rights.
(a) Registration Procedures and Expenses.
i. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing but in no event later than 45 days following Closing, a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any successor to Form S-1), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”) and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter but in no event later than 180 days following the filing of the Registration Statement (210 days in the event of a full review of the Registration Statement by the SEC), to effect such registration and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all Registrable Securities held by the Investors. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) the Note Shares; (ii) the Warrant Shares; and (iii) any common stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Note Shares or Warrant Shares. If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC on or before the date that is 180 days after the filing date of the Registration Statement, or 210 days after the filing of the Registration Statement in the event of a full review of the Registration Statement by the SEC (the “Required Effective Date”), the Company shall, on the business day immediately following the Required Effective Date and each 30th day thereafter, make a payment to the Purchasers as partial liquidated damages for such delay (together, the “Late Registration Payments”) equal to 1% of the Purchase Price paid for the Securities then owned by the Purchasers until the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. Late Registration Payments will be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period and will be paid to the Purchasers by wire transfer or check within five business days after the earlier of (i) the end of each 30 day period following the Required Effective Date or (ii) the effective date of the Registration Statement. If the Company fails to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchasers, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. “Business day” means any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day that is a federal legal holiday in the United States.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 11 |
ii. The Company shall use its best efforts to:
A. prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary or advisable to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for the Registrable Securities (collectively, “Common Shares”) held by a Purchaser for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing date, (ii) the date on which all Common Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor rule (“Rule 144”) or (iii) such time as all Common Shares have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144. At such time the Company is no longer required to keep the Registration Statement current and effective for the Common Shares held by a Purchaser (the “Registration Statement Termination Date”), that Purchaser will no longer accrue any additional liquidated damages payments pursuant to Sections 6(a)(i) or 6(b)(iii); however, the Company shall still be obligated to make all payments under Sections 6(a)(i) or 6(b)(ii) that were not made prior to the Registration Statement Termination Date for that Purchaser. The Company shall notify each Purchaser promptly upon the Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, being declared effective by the SEC and advise each Purchaser that the form of Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, at the time of effectiveness meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act or that it intends to file a Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act;
B. furnish to the Purchaser with respect to the Common Shares registered under the Registration Statement such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including supplemental prospectuses) filed with the SEC in conformance with the requirements of the Securities Act and other such documents as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Common Shares by the Purchaser;
C. make any necessary blue sky filings;
● pay the expenses incurred by the Company and the Purchasers in complying with Section 6, including, all registration and filing fees, FINRA fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding attorneys’ fees of any Purchaser and any and all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities by the Purchasers);
● advise the Purchasers, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of any proceeding for that purpose; and it will promptly use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal at the earliest possible moment if such stop order should be issued; and
● with a view to making available to the Purchaser the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell Common Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) such date as all of the Common Shares qualify to be resold immediately pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Common Shares shall have been resold pursuant to Rule 144 (and may be further resold without restriction); (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to the Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Common Shares, (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Common Shares without registration.
The Company understands that the Purchasers disclaim being an underwriter, but acknowledges that a determination by the SEC that a Purchaser is deemed an underwriter shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has hereunder.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 12 |
(b) Transfer of Shares After Registration; Suspension.
(i) Except in the event that Section 6(b)(ii) applies, the Company shall: (i) if deemed necessary or advisable by the Company, prepare and file from time to time with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Common Shares being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) provide the Purchasers copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i); and (iii) upon request, inform each Purchaser who so requests that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 6.2(b)(i) (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify the Purchaser to that effect, will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment as promptly as possible and will promptly notify the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) when the amendment has become effective).
(ii) Subject to Section 6(b)(iii), in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Common Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of any event or circumstance which necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact 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; then the Company shall promptly deliver a certificate in writing to the Purchasers (the “Suspension Notice”) to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Purchasers will refrain from selling any Common Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Purchasers are advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies from the Company of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in any such Prospectus. In the event of any Suspension, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the use of the Prospectus so suspended to be resumed as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Purchasers. In addition to and without limiting any other remedies (including, without limitation, at law or at equity) available to the Company and the Purchaser, the Company and the Purchasers shall be entitled to specific performance in the event that the other party fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 6(b)(ii).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 6(b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i) a Suspension shall not exceed 30 days individually, (ii) Suspensions covering no more than 45 days, in the aggregate, shall occur during any twelve month period and (iii) each Suspension shall be separated by a period of at least 30 days from a prior Suspension (each Suspension that satisfies the foregoing criteria being referred to herein as a “Qualifying Suspension”). In the event that there occurs a Suspension (or part thereof) that does not constitute a Qualifying Suspension, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser, on the 30th day following the first day of such Suspension (or the first day of such part), and on each 30th day thereafter, an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price paid for the Securities purchased by the Purchaser and not previously sold by the Purchaser with such payments to be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period and will be paid to the Purchaser by wire transfer or check within five business days after the end of each 30 day period following.
(iv) If a Suspension is not then in effect, the Purchasers may sell Common Shares under the Registration Statement, provided that they comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements. Upon receipt of a request therefor, the Company will provide an adequate number of current Prospectuses to a Purchaser and to any other parties reasonably requiring such Prospectuses.
(v) The Company agrees that it shall, immediately prior to the Registration Statement being declared effective, deliver to its transfer agent an opinion letter of counsel, opining that at any time the Registration Statement is effective, the transfer agent may issue, in connection with the sale of the Common Shares, certificates representing such Common Shares without restrictive legend, provided the Common Shares are to be sold pursuant to the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company shall cause the transfer agent to confirm, for the benefit of the Purchasers, that no further opinion of counsel is required at the time of transfer in order to issue such Common Shares without restrictive legend.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 13 |
The Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue a certificate without any restrictive legend to a purchaser of any Common Shares from the Purchasers, if no Suspension is in effect at the time of sale, and (a) the sale of such Common Shares is registered under the Registration Statement (including registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act); (b) the holder has provided the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act; or (c) such Common Shares are sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company shall remove the restrictive legend from any Common Shares held by the Purchasers following the expiration of the holding period required by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule).
(c) Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 6(c):
● the term “Selling Shareholder” shall mean a Purchaser, its executive officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls that Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act;
● the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final Prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement (or deemed to be a part thereof) referred to in Section 6.1; and
● the term “untrue statement” shall mean any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, 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.
i. 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 (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or the failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or (iii) any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Shareholder for any reasonable legal expense or other actual accountable out of pocket 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 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 its covenants and agreements contained herein or any statement or omission in any Prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus that was delivered to the Selling Shareholder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Selling Shareholder.
ii. Each Purchaser severally (as to itself), and not jointly, 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, (i) any failure by that Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained herein or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement if, and only if, such untrue statement was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of that Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and that Purchaser will reimburse the Company (or such officer, director or controlling person, as the case may be), for any reasonable legal expense or other reasonable actual accountable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. The obligation to indemnify shall be limited to the net amount of the proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of the Common Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 14 |
iii. 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(c), such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 6(c) (except to the extent that such omission materially and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 6(c). Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled 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 (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party), 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 reasonable 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 (who shall not be the same as the opining 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 (together with appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
iv. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6(c) is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (i) or (iii) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the liable Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the liable Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (iv) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (iv). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (iv) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (iv), no Purchasers shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net amount received by that Purchaser from the sale of the Common Shares to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any damages which that Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay to the Company by reason of such untrue statement. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Common Shares to which such loss relates and not joint.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 15 |
v. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge that they are sophisticated business persons who were represented by counsel during the negotiations regarding the provisions hereof including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 6(c), and are fully informed regarding said provisions. They further acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 6(c) fairly allocate the risks in light of the ability of the parties to investigate the Company and its business in order to assure that adequate disclosure is made in the Registration Statement as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
vi. The obligations of the Company and of the Purchasers under this Section 6(c) shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement for a period of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by this Section 6 upon the transferability of the Common Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Common Shares when such Common Shares shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition set forth in the Registration Statement covering such Common 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. The Company shall request an opinion of counsel promptly upon receipt of a request therefor from Purchaser.
(e) Information Available. So long as the Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Common Shares owned by a Purchaser, the Company will furnish (or, to the extent such information is available electronically through the Company’s filings with the SEC, the Company will make available via the SEC’s XXXXX system or any successor thereto) to each Purchaser:
● as soon as practicable after it is available, one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Shareholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants) and (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Shareholders, its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);
● upon the request of the Purchaser, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(ii) of this Section 6(e) as filed with the SEC and all other information that is made available to shareholders; and
● upon the reasonable request of the Purchaser, an adequate number of copies of the Prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such Prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of a Purchaser, will meet with each Purchaser or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters during the Company’s normal business hours to discuss all information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Common Shares and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating the Purchasers’ exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters; provided, that the Company shall not be required to disclose any confidential information to or meet at its headquarters with a Purchaser until and unless that Purchaser shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with the Company with respect thereto.
(f) Public Statements; Limitation on Information. The Company agrees to disclose on a Current Report on Form 8-K the existence of the offering and the material terms thereof, including pricing, within one business day after it specifies the Closing date. Such Current Report on Form 8-K shall include a form of this Agreement (and all exhibits and schedules thereto) as an exhibit thereto. The Company will not issue any public statement, press release or any other public disclosure listing a Purchaser as one of the purchasers of the Common Shares without that Purchaser’s prior written consent, except as may be required by applicable law or rules of any exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. The Company shall not provide, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company and each of its subsidiaries not to provide, the Purchasers with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any subsidiary from and after the date the Company files, or is required by this Section to file, the Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC without the prior express written consent of the Purchaser.
| Purchase Agreement | Page 16 |
(g) Limits on Additional Issuances. The Company will not, for a period of six months following the Closing date offer for sale or sell any securities without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Except as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents and for the issuance of stock options under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of common stock upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, and the offering contemplated hereby, the Company has not engaged in any offering of equity securities during the six months prior to the date of this Agreement. The foregoing provisions shall not prevent the Company from filing a “shelf” registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, but the foregoing provisions shall apply to any sale of securities thereunder.
(h) Form D and State Securities Filings. The Company will file with the SEC a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with respect to the Securities, as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act, no later than 15 days after the Closing date. The Company will promptly and timely file all documents and pay all filing fees required by any states’ securities laws in connection with the sale of Securities.
(i) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6 may be assigned by a Purchaser to a party that acquires, other than pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, any of the Note Shares and Warrant Shares originally issued or issuable to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and Note and the Warrants (or any common stock issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any such Note Shares or Warrant Shares), or to any affiliate of a Purchaser that acquires any Registrable Securities. Any such permitted assignee shall have all the rights of such Purchaser under this Section 6 with respect to the Registrable Securities transferred.
