hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law
for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 will be inadequate and
agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the
provisions of this Section 5, that the Buyer(s) shall be entitled, in
addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any
breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity
of
showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being
required.

11. REGISTRATION.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and
file, no later than thirty (30) days from the date hereof (the “Scheduled
Filing Deadline”), with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 or SB-2
(or, if the Company is then eligible, on Form S-3) under the 1933 Act (the
“Initial Registration Statement”) for the registration for the resale by
all Investors who purchased Convertible Debentures pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement at least five (5) times the number of shares which are
anticipated to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures issued
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (subject to Rule 415
restrictions). The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to
remain effective until all of the Registrable Securities have been
sold. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC,
the Company shall furnish a copy of the Initial Registration Statement to the
Investors and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A. for their review and
comment. The Investors and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A. shall furnish
comments on the Initial Registration Statement to the Company by the later
of:
(a) seventy-two (72) hours of the receipt thereof from the Company and (b)
the
close of the third business day following receipt thereof from the
Company.
(b) Effectiveness
of the Initial Registration Statement. The Company shall use its
best efforts (i) to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective
by the SEC no later than ninety (90) days after the First Closing Date (the
“Scheduled Effective Deadline”) and (ii) to insure that the Initial
Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement remains in
effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. It shall be an event of
default hereunder if the Initial Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days after the First Closing
Date.
(c) Failure
to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In
the event the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on
or
before the Scheduled Effective Date, or if after the Registration Statement
has
been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration
Statement effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for
sales to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register
sufficient shares of Common Stock or otherwise , then as partial relief for
the
damages to any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay
in
or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which
remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the
Company will pay as liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”) to the
holder, a cash amount within three (3) business days, after demand therefore,
equal to two percent (2%) of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures
outstanding as Liquidated Damages for each thirty (30) day period (or any part
thereof) after the Scheduled Effective Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay any Liquidated
Damages in the event that the failure to be declared effective on the requisite
date results in whole or in part from either (a) the failure of any Investor
to
provide information relating to the Investor and its proposed method of sale
or
any other information concerning the Investor that is required by the Securities
and Exchange Commission to be included in the registration statement or (b)
any
delays resulting from questions or issues raised by the SEC or any other
regulatory agency, market or exchange concerning any Investor (or the affiliates
of any Investor) or relating to Rule 415.
23
(d) Liquidated
Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and
agree that the sums payable under subsection 2(c) above shall constitute
liquidated damages and not penalties and are in addition to all other rights
of
the Investor, including the right to call a default. The parties
further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred
is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified
in such subsections bear a reasonable relationship to, and are not plainly
or
grossly disproportionate to, the probable loss likely to be incurred in
connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement, (iii) one of the reasons for the
Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the
uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages,
and
(iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticated business parties and have
been represented by sophisticated and able legal counsel and negotiated this
Agreement at arm’s length.
(e) Choice
of law firm. The Company shall use a law firm recommended by the
Buyers.
12. RELATED
OBLIGATIONS.
(a) The
Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to
Rule 415 at all times during the life of the Convertible
Debentures.
(b) The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including
post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and
the
prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus
is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may
be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during
the
Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of
the
1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the
Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such
Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth
in
such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and
supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant
to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the
Company’s filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K or any
analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“1934 Act”), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into
the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement.
24
(c) The
Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included
in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at least one (1) copy of
such
Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s)
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus,
(ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number
of
copies as such Investor may reasonably request in writing) and (iii) such other
documents as such Investor may reasonably request in writing from time to time
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned
by
such Investor.
(d) The
Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities
or
“blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Investor
reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the
effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other
actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications
in
effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities
for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any
change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do
business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such
jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who
holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any
of
the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of
any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) As
promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development,
the
Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event
as a
result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then
in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission 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 (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material,
nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver
ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i) when a
prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has
become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to
each
Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s
reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate.
25
(f) The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or
other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension
of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an order or
suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension
at
the earliest possible moment and to notify each Investor who holds Registrable
Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof
or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding
for such purpose.
(g) [reserved]
(h) Upon
written request, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any
Investor and (ii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by
the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial
and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed
necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request
in writing; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and each
Investor hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any
disclosure (except to an Investor) or use any Record or other
information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential,
and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure
of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission
in
any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b)
the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena
or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c)
the
information in such Records has been made generally available to the public
other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which
the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge. Each Investor agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or
by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, the Records deemed confidential.
(i) The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such
information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii)
the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of
such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to
the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that
disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a
court
or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give
prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the
Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or
to obtain a protective order for, such information.
26
(j) The
Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on each
securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by
the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) the
inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.
OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall
pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under
this Section 3(i).
(k) The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities
being
offered and, to the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation
and
delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be offered
pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in
such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably
request in writing and registered in such names as the Investors may
request. The certificates representing the Registrable Securities
will bear a restrictive legend.
(l) The
Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules
and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration
hereunder.
(m) Within
two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable
Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and
shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent
for
such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable
Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(n) The
Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and
facilitate the lawful disposition by the Investors of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.
13. OBLIGATIONS
OF THE INVESTORS.
(a) At
least seven (7) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of
a
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each seller of Registrable
Securities in writing of the information the Company requires from each such
seller. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to
the Registrable Securities of a particular seller of Registrable Securities
that
such seller shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the
Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of
the
Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect
the
effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall
execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
may
reasonably request.
27
(b) Each
Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless
such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to
exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c) Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
(d) Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt
of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver
unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an
Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of
a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in
Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not
yet settled.
14. EXPENSES
OF REGISTRATION.
All
expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration,
listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting fees shall
be
paid by the Company. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses”
and shall be paid by the Investors.
15. INDEMNIFICATION.
With
respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement
under this Agreement:
28
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does,
indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers,
partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who
controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each,
an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’
fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively,
“Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action,
claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified
Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims
(or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification
of
the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction
in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any
final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation,
any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
(the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
“Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investors and
each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due
and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such
Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply
to
a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof
or
supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is
based
on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the
prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made
available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); (z) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without
the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; and (aa) shall not apply to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out
of or
is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, which untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is
completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement
or Prospectus and Investor thereafter fails to deliver or cause to be delivered
such Registration Statement or Prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior
to
or concurrently with the Registrable Securities, or the written confirmation
of
the sale of the Registrable Securities, as the case may be, to the person
asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof)
or expense after the Company has furnished Investor with the same. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer
of
the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9
hereof.
29
(b) In
connection with a Registration Statement, each Investor agrees to severally
and
not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in
the
same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents and each Person,
if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934
Act
(each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages
to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is
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 to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in
connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d),
such
Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them
in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement
with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the
prior
written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under
this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as
does
not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer
of
the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any
indemnifying party under this Section 6, 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
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of
not
more than one (1) counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented
by
such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with
any
negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party
and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available
to
the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or
claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense
or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying
party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of
any
judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as
provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights
of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third
parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification
has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action.
30
(d) The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments
of
the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
(e) The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause
of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person
against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
16. CONTRIBUTION.
To
the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by
law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the
fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no
seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution
from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
17. REPORTS
UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With
a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at
any
time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public
without registration (“Rule 144”) the Company agrees to:
(a) make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144;
(b) file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the
Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains
subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall
limit the Company’s obligations under Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase
Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents as are required
by
the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
31
(c) furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon written request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the
1934
Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company
and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such
other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to
sell
such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
18. AMENDMENT
OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions
of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors
who
then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this
Section 9 shall be binding upon each Investor and the
Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it
applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person
to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of
this
Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties
to
this Agreement.
19. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person
owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If
the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two
(2)
or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company
shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
the
registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
(b) Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to
be

We

“Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that
certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the investors named
therein (collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company
issued to the Investors shares of its Common Stock, (the “Common

entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the
“Investor Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company
agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____,

Securities and Exchange SEC (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable

under.
In

has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the
Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF
EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we
have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that
any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any

Attn:
RE: PLANETLINK
COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”), dated the date hereof, by and between
PLANETLINK COMMUNICATIONS, INC.., a corporation organized under
the laws of _____________ (the “Company”), and the
Buyers set forth on Schedule I attached thereto (collectively the
“Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company shall sell to the Buyer up to
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of the Company’s secured convertible
debentures, which shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common
stock, par value $_____ per share (the “Common Stock”). The
shares of Common Stock to be converted thereunder plus interest which may be
converted into Common Stock and any Liquidated Damages, which may be converted
into Common Stock thereunder are referred to herein as the “Conversion
Shares.” This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization
and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the
Company at such time) to issue the Conversion Shares in shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, in the event the Buyer has elected to have the interest of the
Convertible Debenture, pursuant to Section 1.05 of the Convertible Debenture,
paid in Common Stock (the “Interest Shares”), to the Buyer from time to
time upon surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion
Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, delivered on
behalf of the Company by Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx XX, P.A..
Additionally,
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has issued to the
Buyer warrants (the “Warrants”) which are exercisable to purchase shares of
Common Stock (the “Exercise Shares”).
Specifically,
upon receipt by the Company or [Company counsel] of a copy of a Conversion
Notice, or an Exercise Notice for the Warrants, [Company Counsel], on behalf
of
the Company, shall as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one (1)
Trading Day (as defined below) after receipt of such Conversion Notice, send,
via facsimile as appropriate either: (a) a Conversion Notice, or (b) an Exercise
Notice, which in either event such document shall constitute an irrevocable
instruction to you to process such Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice in
accordance with the terms of these instructions. Upon your receipt of
a copy of the executed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, you shall use
your
best efforts to, within three (3) Trading Days following the date of receipt
of
the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, (A) issue and surrender to a common
carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion
Notice or Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer
or
its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall
be entitled as set forth in the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice or (B)
provided you are participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Buyer,
credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall
be entitled to the Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through
its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system provided the
Buyer causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC
transaction. (“Trading Day” shall mean any
day on which the Nasdaq Market is open for customary trading.)
The
Company hereby confirms to you and the Buyer that certificates representing
the
Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares, the Exercise Shares and/or the
Liquidated Damages Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of
the
Conversion Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer
restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records
of the Company provided that the Company counsel delivers (i) the Notice of
Effectiveness set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto and (ii) an opinion
of counsel in the form set forth in Exhibit III attached hereto, and that
if the Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares, and/or the Liquidated Damages
Shares are not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
then the certificates for the Conversion Shares shall bear the following
legend:
“THE
SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT
OR
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER
SAID
ACT.”
The
Company hereby
confirms and Transfer Agent acknowledges that in the event Counsel to the
Company does not issue an opinion of counsel as required to issue the Exercise
Shares, the Conversion Shares and the Interest Shares free of legend the Company
authorizes and Transfer Agent will accept an opinion of Counsel from Xxxxx
X.
Xxxxxxx XX, P.A..
The
Company hereby confirms to you and the Buyer that no instructions other than
as
contemplated herein will be given to you by the Company with respect to the
Conversion Shares, the Exercise Shares or the Interest Shares. The
Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace Transfer Agent as the Company’s
transfer agent without the prior written consent of the Buyer.
Unless
the Company is in breach of its agreement with the Transfer Agent, any attempt
by the Transfer Agent to resign as the Company’s transfer agent hereunder shall
not be effective until such time as the Company provides to the Transfer Agent
written notice that a suitable replacement has agreed to serve as transfer
agent
and to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent
Instructions.
2
Any
attempt by you to resign as transfer agent hereunder shall not be effective
until such time as the Company provides to you written notice that a suitable
replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms
and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.
The
Company and Transfer Agent hereby acknowledge and confirm that complying with
the terms of this Agreement does not and shall not prohibit Transfer Agent
from
satisfying any and all fiduciary responsibilities and duties it may owe to
the
Company.
The
Company and Transfer Agent acknowledge that the Buyer is relying on the
representations and covenants made by the Company and Transfer Agent hereunder
and are a material inducement to the Buyer purchasing convertible debentures
under the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company and Transfer
Agent further acknowledge that without such representations and covenants of
the
Company and Transfer Agent made hereunder, the Buyer would not enter into the
Securities Purchase Agreement and purchase convertible debentures pursuant
thereto.
Each
party hereto specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach
or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Buyer will
be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy
if
these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically
enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by
a party hereto, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of
the
agency relationship created by this instrument, the Buyer shall be entitled,
in
addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such
breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond
or
other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions
of
these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this letter agreement
regarding Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to be duly executed and
delivered as of the date first written above.

Attention:
RE: PLANETLINK
COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have
acted as special counsel to Planetlink Communications, Inc. (the
“Company”), in connection with the registration of ___________shares (the
“Shares”) of its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”). We have not acted as your
counsel. This opinion is given at the request and with the consent of
the Company.
In
rendering this opinion we have relied on the accuracy of the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended (the “Registration
Statement”), filed by the Company with the SEC on _________ ___,
2007. The Company filed the Registration Statement on behalf of
certain selling stockholders (the “Selling
Stockholders”). This opinion relates solely to the
Selling Shareholders listed on Exhibit “A” hereto and number of Shares
set forth opposite such Selling Stockholders’ names. The SEC declared
the Registration Statement effective on __________ ___, 200__.
We
understand that the Selling Stockholders acquired the Shares in a private
offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. Information regarding the Shares to be sold by the Selling
Shareholders is contained under the heading “Selling Stockholders” in the
Registration Statement, which information is incorporated herein by
reference. This opinion does not relate to the issuance of the Shares
to the Selling Stockholders. The opinions set forth herein relate
solely to the sale or transfer by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the
Registration Statement under the Federal laws of the United States of
America. We do not express any opinion concerning any law of any
state or other jurisdiction.
In
rendering this opinion we have relied upon the accuracy of the foregoing
statements.
Based
on
the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered with
the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and that ________ may remove the restrictive legends contained on the Shares.
This opinion relates solely to the number of Shares set forth opposite
the Selling Stockholders listed on Exhibit “A” hereto.
