ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
5.1 Use of Proceeds. After Closing, the Company and the Purchaser shall discuss in good faith and mutually agree in writing upon the Company’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser. Prior to such agreement, the Company may not use any part of the proceeds without the Purchaser’s prior written consent.
5.2 Board Representation. At and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint two directors to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such directors, each a “Purchaser Director”). Xxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx are agreed to be acceptable. Each of the foregoing directors shall be appointed as directors of the same class of directors at the Closing and shall serve for an initial term of three years such that their terms as directors will expire at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (and any subsequent required annual meeting of stockholders). For as long as the Purchaser and its affiliates, taken together, beneficially own at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the Board shall be comprised of no more than eight (8) directors (including all independent directors and the Purchaser Directors), to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, unless otherwise consented by the Purchaser. For as long as the Purchaser and its affiliates, taken together, beneficially own at least 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the Board shall include in its 2021 annual meeting (and any subsequent required annual meeting of stockholders) proxy statement and recommend to the Company’s stockholders to approve at such annual meeting the appointment of two (2) Purchaser Directors then designated by the Purchaser, and the Board shall otherwise support such Purchaser Directors in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees. The Company and the Board shall take all necessary actions to ensure that, at all times when a Purchaser Director is eligible to be appointed or nominated, there are sufficient vacancies on the Board to permit such designation. In the event the Company’s stockholders do not approve one or more Purchaser Directors nominated by Purchaser, the Board shall (i) appoint, to the extent there are available vacancies, or (ii) to the extent there are no available vacancies call a special meeting and include in its proxy and recommend to the Company’s stockholders to approve the appointment of, in each case of (i) or (ii) above, alternative individuals to serve as the Purchaser Directors as designated by Purchaser to serve until the following annual meeting of the stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, and the Purchaser shall not be required to comply with the advance notice provisions generally applicable to the nomination of Directors by the Company so long as the Purchaser provides reasonable advance notice to the Company of the Purchaser Directors prior to the mailing of the proxy statement by the Company (provided, that the Company shall provide reasonable advance notice to the Purchaser of the expected mailing date).
(a) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 5.3:
(i) The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.
16
(ii) Registrable Securities. The term “Registrable Securities” means: (A) the Common Stock and the shares underlying the Warrants under this Agreement and (B) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of the Securities.
(b) Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify Purchaser in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements for the purpose of conducting a rights offering to the Company’s stockholders on Form S-1 or otherwise, on Form S-8 or on Form S-4, or any successor forms) and will afford Purchaser an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by Purchaser. Purchaser desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by Purchaser shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities Purchaser wishes to include in such registration statement. If Purchaser decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, Purchaser shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(c) Demand Registration. In the event that the Registrable Securities have not been registered within one year after the Closing Date, the Purchaser may at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date request in writing that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of all of the Registrable Securities and the Company will use its commercially best efforts to effect such registration and to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request at its own cost.
(d) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Purchaser. In such event, the right of Purchaser to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be conditioned upon Purchaser’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If Purchaser proposes to distribute its Registrable Securities through such underwriting, Purchaser shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, to Purchaser. If Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, Purchaser may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
17
(e) Expenses. All registration expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section shall be borne by the Company. Purchaser participating in a registration pursuant to this Section shall bear its proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions and selling expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section.
(f) Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement:
(i) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and each of its Representatives, against any losses to which it may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto; (2) 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; or (3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse Purchaser and its representatives for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by Purchaser or its representatives.
18
(ii) By Purchaser. To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its representatives and any underwriter, against any losses to which the Company or any such representative or underwriter may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses arise out of or are based upon any violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by Purchaser expressly for use in connection with such registration; and Purchaser will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such representative or underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such loss; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(iii) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party to the extent of such prejudice under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.
(iv) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Purchaser under this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement.
5.4 Cooperation Regarding Rule 144. As long as Purchaser owns any Purchased Shares, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. As long as Purchaser owns any Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, at the request of the Purchaser Directors, it will prepare and furnish to Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Purchaser to sell Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action in accordance with U.S. securities laws as Purchaser may reasonably request (including to cause its counsel to issue appropriate legal opinions and to direct its transfer agent accordingly) to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchaser to sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144.
5.5 Preferred Supplier. The Purchaser, Unilumin North America, Inc., and/or its affiliates shall be a top preferred supplier of all the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ LED display projects or other products manufactured or sold by the Purchaser or its affiliates; provided that the Company reserves the right to purchase similar or identical products from other suppliers with the consent of Purchaser (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), based on, among other things, pricing, product availability, logistics, and specific customer requirements. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, confirm that the Company and its subsidiaries will be provided the full benefit of any and all most favorable terms and/or conditions (“MFN Terms”) contained in any other agreement entered into by the Purchaser with third parties for similar or identical products required or utilized in connection with the Company’s business and available in the same territory where the Company or its relevant subsidiary is located. The Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing of such MFN Terms within fifteen (15) Business Days after agreeing thereto in a binding legal agreement, and any terms in the relevant supplement agreement between the Purchaser or any of its affiliates and the Company which are less favorable than the MFN Terms shall be deemed to be reformed to be consistent with the MFN Terms as of the effective date of such third party agreement and thereafter for such time that the MFN Terms remain in effect.
5.6 Further Actions. The proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities and the exercise of the Warrant are necessary to ensure that the Company can continue as a going concern. The Company acknowledges that the Purchaser will not be obliged to exercise the Warrant unless the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock and other conditions set forth in the Warrant have been satisfied or triggered. The Purchaser acknowledges that given the Company’s need for the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant to continue as a going concern the Company may take certain actions relating to the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock including seeking Shareholder approval to approve amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to decrease the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and increase the Company’s authorized capital.

6.2 Indemnification.
