Company further agrees, if Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other trading market, it will include in such application the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection herewith and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of Holders to cause such shares to be listed on such other trading market as promptly as possible. Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on its current trading market and will comply in all material respects with Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the trading market.
(v)
Furnishing of Information. Company covenants and agrees to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. Until the later of the date none of the Holders no longer owns the Notes, the Warrants or any Registrable Securities, if Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to Holders and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Holders to sell its shares of Common Stock under Rule 144. Company further covenants and agrees that it will take such further action as Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell any shares of Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
(vi)
Shareholders Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by Company or any other person that Holders are an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by Company, or that Holders could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Registrable Securities under the Notes, Warrants or under any other agreement between Company and Holders.
(vii)
Reporting Obligations. Company shall continue to file or furnish pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, and Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain its status as an issuer required to file such reports under the Exchange Act. In addition, Company shall take all actions necessary to continue to meet the “registrant eligibility” requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form SB-2 or any successor form thereto, to continue to be eligible to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable on the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act on such Form.
6.
Registration Rights.
(a)
Piggyback Registration Rights in Company. If, at any time, there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued pursuant to or in connection with the conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), and Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act, of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans), then Company shall send to Holders a written notice of such determination and, if within ten (10) days after receipt by Holders of such notice, Company shall receive a request in writing from Holders, Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities Holders requests to be registered at no cost to Holders (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions). Holders (or their designee(s)) shall also be provided with such other rights, and Company shall have such obligations, as customarily accompany investor piggyback registration rights, including, without limitation, the right of Holders to customary indemnification by Company, Company’s obligation to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, the obligation of Company to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under applicable state securities and blue sky laws, the obligation of Company to cause the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed or quoted on the Trading Market on which Company’s securities are then listed or quoted and the obligation of Company to cause to be provided customary legal opinions and comfort letters of its independent certified accountants if requested in connection with a sale pursuant to such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration involves an underwritten offering, and the lead managing underwriter shall advise Company that the amount of securities to be included in the offering exceeds the amount which can be sold in the offering, the number of securities owned by Holders to be included in the offering shall be eliminated or reduced as required by the managing underwriter.
(b)
Registration Right in Company.
(i) No later than thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (assuming no registration statements have been filed as provided in Section 6(a) that already cover the resale of all of the Registrable Securities) (the “Filing Date”), Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities not included in any another effective registration statement of the Company, which offering shall be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form SB-2 (except if Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2, in which case the Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in no event later than ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement; provided however the Company shall have one hundred twenty (120) days in the event that the Commission provides comments on the original Registration Statement (“Commission Comments”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (a) have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (b) may be sold without any volume or other restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”). Holders (or their designee(s)) shall also be provided with such other rights, and Company shall have such obligations, as customarily accompany investor registration rights, including, without limitation, the right of Holders to customary indemnification by Company, Company’s obligation to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement, the obligation of Company to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under applicable state securities and blue sky laws (provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to execute any general consent to service of process in order to obtain such blue sky clearance, except in a jurisdiction where the Company is already subject to such process), the obligation of Company to cause the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed or quoted on the Trading Market on which Company’s securities are then listed or quoted and the obligation of Company to cause to be provided customary legal opinions and comfort letters of its independent certified accountants if requested in connection with a sale pursuant to such registration statement).
(ii) Filing Default Liquidation Damages. If a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days following the date hereof (the “Filing Deadline Penalty Date”), then Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, until the earlier of the date that the Registration Statement is filed or the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) without regard to volume or other restrictions, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, (i) one-half of one percent (0.5%) of such Purchaser’s Face Amount (as defined in such Purchaser’s Note) for the first thirty (30) days (or any part thereof) following the Filing Deadline Penalty Date, and (ii) an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) of such Purchaser’s Face Amount for each thirty (30) day period subsequent thereto (or any part thereof), such payment(s) to be made in immediately available funds no later than five (5) days after the first date of each such 30 day period (or any part thereof).
(iii) Effectiveness Default Liquidation Damages. In addition to any liquidated damages paid, accrued and/or to be paid pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii), if (1) the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to ninety (90) days (or one hundred and twenty (120) days, in the event of the receipt of Commission Comments) following the date of this Agreement, or (2) if the Registration Statement has been declared effective and subsequent thereto is not effective (or otherwise does not permit the resale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby) for any period of time until the date that the Purchasers no longer own any Registrable Securities (an “Effectiveness Default”), then the Company shall pay to each Purchaser an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to (i) one-half of one (0.5%) percent of such Purchaser’s Face Amount for the first thirty (30) days (or any part thereof), and (ii) an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) of such Purchaser’s Face Amount for each thirty (30) day period subsequent thereto (or any part thereof) until the earlier of such date (a) the Registration Statement is declared effective and permits the resale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby (or if previously declared effective until the date the Registration Statement becomes effective again and otherwise permits the resale of the Registrable Securities covered thereby), and (b) the Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) without volume limitation or other restriction. Any such payment(s) shall be made in immediately available funds no later than five (5) days after the first day of each 30 day period (or any part thereof), as the case may be, of each such Effectiveness Default.
(c) No Inconsistent Agreements. Company agrees not to enter into any other agreement which is inconsistent with the registration rights provisions of this Agreement or contains registration rights provisions which are senior to the registration rights granted in this Agreement.
1.
Conversion Rights with Respect to Future Financings.
(a)
In the event that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company proposes to consummate a Qualified Financing the Company shall notify each Purchaser in writing as soon as reasonably practicable (such notice shall in no event be later than ten (10) business days prior to the closing of such Qualified Financing) of such proposed Qualified Financing, such notice shall include a term sheet and/or the most current set of transaction documents and the projected date and location of the closing of the proposed Qualified Financing (the “QF Closing”); provided that if there is a series of transactions, the rights provided in this Section apply only to the transactions commencing with the first transaction that causes the aggregate amount of Qualifying Securities issued in such transactions to equal or exceed $1,000,000. For the purposes hereof, the term “Qualified Financing” shall mean the sale and/or issuance of $1,000,000 or more of Qualifying Securities (as defined below) of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in one or a series of transactions within a one year period from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement covering all of the Registrable Securities. For the purposes hereof, the term “Qualifying Securities” shall include equity securities and debt securities of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable in any manner for equity securities; provided however it shall exclude any security of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company which has been issued exclusively in exchange for the exercise, surrender and/or cancellation of warrants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
(b)
Each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in a Qualified Financing regardless of the participation (or lack thereof) by other Purchasers by exchanging all of such Purchaser’s Note as provided in this Section 7. In the event that a Purchaser (an “Electing Purchaser”) elects to participate in the Qualified Financing with respect to all of their Note, such Electing Purchaser shall provide notice of such election to participate to the Company prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing. The Company shall provide each Electing Purchaser on a timely basis with such information (including materially revised transaction documents and revised projected closing dates) as reasonably requested by such Electing Purchaser.
(c)
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(c), the terms of the Qualified Financing shall provide that each Electing Purchaser shall be entitled to the same identical rights and securities as the other investors participating in the Qualified Financing and shall be bound by the same identical obligations and restrictions as the other investors participating in the Qualified Financing. For all purposes of the Qualified Financing, the Electing Purchaser shall be considered and deemed to have invested in the Qualified Financing in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance and the accrued but unpaid interest under the Note (the “Remaining Balance”). At the Qualified Financing, each Electing Purchaser shall deliver to the Company at the QF Closing, such Electing Purchaser’s Note and Warrant for cancellation by the Company and the Company shall to the extent it has not done so previously, pay in cash, to the Electing Purchaser all penalties and other amounts (other than the Remaining Balance) due under the Note. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that an Electing Purchaser has previously exercised all or a portion of their Warrant (the “Old Warrant”), and warrants (the “New Warrants”) are issued to investors in the Qualifying Financing, such Electing Purchaser shall be entitled to receive as part of the Qualified Financing, a New Warrant for such number of shares as is equal to: (A) the number of shares for which such Electing Purchaser would have received New Warrants in the Qualifying Financing in the absence of this sentence multiplied by (B) such Electing Purchaser’s Remaining Fraction (as defined below). For the purposes hereof, the term “Remaining Fraction” shall mean the ratio of (A) such Electing Purchaser’s Warrant Shares less the number of shares of common stock that such Electing Purchaser has previously exercised under the Warrant (determined without giving effect to the adjustments, if any, provided for in Section 12 of the Warrant) over (B) such Electing Purchaser’s Warrant Shares. The Electing Purchaser shall as a condition to its participation in the QF Closing agree to terminate this Agreement (other than with respect to this Section 7 in connection with such Qualified Financing), the Security Agreement and all liens on the Company’s assets granted by the Company in connection with this Agreement (other than those liens, if any, granted in connection with the Qualified Financing).
