None of the Company, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Company, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has: (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
(z) No Disagreements with Accountants or Lawyers. There are no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise, between the Company and the accountants and lawyers formerly or presently employed by the Company which could affect the Company’s ability to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents.
(aa) Indebtedness. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to, or liable under (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $25,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), or (y) any guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business.
(bb) Internal Controls. The Company is in compliance with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 currently applicable to the Company. The Cmpany and each Subsidiary maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including the Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308 of Regulation S-K) or, to the Company's knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.
10
(cc) OFAC.

(dd) Full Disclosure. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to Purchaser regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct and does 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.

The Company will keep proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities.

(viii) Indebtedness and Liens. The Company shall not create or suffer to exist any debt or liens other than (i) debt incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of business, not to exceed $20,000 in the aggregate, (ii) debt which is subordinated in the right of payment to amounts payable to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement on terms reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; and (iii) Permitted Liens.

(b) Notice of Other Material Events. Until such time as the Loan Amount or any accrued fees or interest remain unpaid or outstanding, the Company shall provide notice of the following:

At any time or from time to time after the execution hereof, the Company will promptly execute, deliver, verify, acknowledge, record and/or file any and all further documents and instruments (including financing statements and continuation statements), and promptly take any and all such other and further actions, as Purchaser may request in order to evidence or more fully effectuate the transactions and security arrangements contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the terms hereof.
(d) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of the conversion rights provided for under the Note and Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock and other securities as may be issued in the PIPE Offering, as shall, from time to time, be sufficient for issuance upon conversion of such Note and Warrant in full.
(e) Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5(e) and applicable securities laws, and for a period starting from the Closing Date and ending twelve months from the closing date of the PIPE Offering, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities (as defined below), the Company shall first offer all of such New Securities to each Purchaser on the basis of its prorata portion of the Loan Amount (as to each Purchaser, the “Pro Rata Portion”). Each such Purchaser shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it among itself and its Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
(i) The Company shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each Purchaser, stating (A) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (B) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (C) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities.

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the New Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such New Securities shall not be offered unless first reoffered to Purchaser in accordance with this Section 5(e).
(v) “New Securities” includes all securities, whether debt or equity, offered by the Company or any Subsidiary, but shall not include (A) shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities issued by reason of a dividend, stock split, split-up or other distribution on shares of Common Stock; (B) shares of Common Stock or options issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board of directors of the Company; or (C) shares of Common Stock or convertible securities actually issued upon the exercise of options or shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of convertible securities, in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such option or convertible security.

In addition to any and all protections and rights that may be granted hereunder to Broadband as collateral agent, to the maximum extent permissible by law, Broadband will incur no liability with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken in connection with its services as the collateral agent, except its own willful misconduct or gross negligence. In all questions arising under any of the Loan Documents, Broadband may rely on the advice of counsel of its choosing, and Broadband will not be liable to any party to any of the Loan Documents or any other person or party for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by it in its capacity as the collateral agent based on such advice.

In no event shall Broadband, in its capacity as the collateral agent, be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if Broadband has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach by the Company of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to Purchaser.
(i) All pronouns and any variations thereof used herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, singular or plural, as identity of the person or persons may require.
(j) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

$2,250,000

New York, New York
February ___, 2011
|
INTERNATIONAL SURF RESORTS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Broadband Capital Management LLC or its assigns (the “Holder”), the principal amount of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed) from the date hereof on the unpaid balance of such Principal Amount from time to time outstanding at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (“Interest”) until paid in full or converted as provided herein.
This Note is one of a series of Notes issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, by and between the Company and each Purchaser signatory thereto, dated the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), which contains, among other things, provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Payment of all amounts and all of the Company’s obligations under this Note are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the Holder on the Company’s Assets (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the terms of that certain Security and Pledge Agreement, dated the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Holder and guaranteed and secured by certain pledged securities of the Principal Stockholders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the terms of that certain Guarantee and Pledge Agreement dated the date hereof. Capitalized terms used herein but otherwise not defined shall have the definitions ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
1. Repayment of the Note. The Principal Amount outstanding hereunder shall be payable in cash on the earlier of (a) six (6) months from the date hereof and (b) the closing date of the PIPE Offering (such earlier date being the “Maturity Date”). The entire Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid Interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of (1) the Maturity Date and (2) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below).
2. No Prepayment of the Note. The Principal Amount and Interest thereon shall not be prepaid in whole or in part by the Company, except in connection with the consummation of the PIPE Offering, in which case the Holder shall elect, at its sole option, either to (1) convert all of the Principal Amount then outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, into the PIPE Securities at a price per share or unit, as the case may be, equal to 80% of the PIPE Share Price (a “PIPE Conversion”) or (2) require the Company to repay the Principal Amount then outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid Interest on the Note in cash (a “PIPE Redemption”). In the event that this Note is prepaid or converted before the date that is six months from the Closing Date (“Prepayment Date”), the Company shall pay to the Holder, in addition to any and all other amounts due and payable hereunder, a prepayment or early conversion penalty, as applicable, in an amount equal to (x) the Principal Amount (y) divided by $2,000,000 and (z) multiplied by $100,000 (the “Early Penalty Payment” and, with the Target Transaction Payment, “Other Payments”), by no later than two (2) business days after the Prepayment Date.
25
3. Target Transaction Payment. If the Target Transaction has not closed on or prior to the date that is six months from the Closing Date (the “Target Transaction Deadline”), in addition to any and all other amounts due and payable hereunder, the Company shall pay one hundred fifty percent (150%) of any portion of the Principal Amount then outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon (the “Target Transaction Payment”), by no later than two (2) business days after the Target Transaction Deadline.
4. Mechanics of Conversion or Redemption. The Company shall cause notice of the closing of the PIPE Offering to be mailed to the Holder in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement at least five (5) days prior to the closing of such PIPE Offering. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Holder shall notify the Company of its election of a PIPE Conversion or a PIPE Redemption, the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid Interest to be converted or redeemed, as applicable, and the date on which such election shall be effective (the “Election Notice”). The Company shall, (a) in the event of a PIPE Redemption, pay the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon as set forth in such Election Notice or, (b) in the event of a PIPE Conversion, issue and deliver to the Holder, or to its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of capital stock or units, as applicable of the PIPE Securities (the “Conversion Stock”) to which the Holder is entitled.
5. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Conversion Stock shall be issued by the Company. In lieu thereof, the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Conversion Stock.
6. Termination of Rights Under this Note. This Note shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and all rights with respect to this Note shall immediately cease and terminate, upon receipt by the Holder of (a)(i) the Principal Amount outstanding and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, in the event of a PIPE Redemption or, (ii) the Conversion Stock, in the event of a PIPE Conversion, and (b) the Target Transaction Payment and Early Penalty Payment, if applicable.
7. Taxes or other Issuance Charges. The Company shall pay any and all taxes or other expenses that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of the Conversion Stock in the event of a PIPE Conversion.
8. Event of Default. Upon the occurrence at any time of any Event of Default, the entire unpaid Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon, plus all Other Payments, if applicable, shall become immediately due and payable in cash without notice or demand. The Holder shall have then, or at any time thereafter, all of the rights and remedies afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in the State of Nevada or afforded by other applicable law.
9. Non-Waiver. The failure of the Holder to enforce or exercise any right or remedy provided in this Note or at law or in equity upon any default or breach shall not be construed as waiving the rights to enforce or exercise such or any other right or remedy at any later date. No exercise of the rights and powers granted in or held pursuant to this Note by the Holder, and no delays or omission in the exercise of such rights and powers shall be held to exhaust the same or be construed as a waiver thereof, and every such right and power may be exercised at any time and from time to time.
10. Waiver by the Company. The Company hereby waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor and any and all other notices or demands relative to this Note, except as specifically provided herein.
26
11. Usury Savings Clause. The Company and the Holder intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. If at any time such laws would render usurious any amounts due under this Note under applicable law, then it is the Company’s and Holder’s express intention that the Company not be required to pay Interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum lawful rate, that the provisions of this Section 10 shall control over all other provisions of this Note which may be in apparent conflict hereunder, that such excess amount shall be immediately credited to the balance of the Principal Amount of this Note, and the provisions hereof shall immediately be reformed and the amounts thereafter decreased, so as to comply with the then applicable usury law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise due under this Note.
12. Holder Not a Stockholder. The Holder shall not have, solely on account of such status as a holder of this Note, any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, or any right to any notice of meetings of stockholders or of any other proceedings of the Company until such time as this Note has been converted, at which time the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Conversion Stock, as applicable, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or certificates representing such Conversion Stock shall not then have been actually delivered to the Holder.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in the State of Nevada as to matters within the scope thereof, and, with respect to all other matters, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard for any conflict of laws. The Company irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State of New York sitting in New York County, New York in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note, any document or instrument delivered pursuant to, in connection with or simultaneously with this Note, or a breach of this Note or any such document or instrument.
(b) Successors and Assigns. This Note and the obligations hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that the Holder may assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to its Affiliate without such consent by giving written notice of such assignment to the Company. Assignment of all or any portion of this Note in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
(c) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered in accordance with Section 8(c) of the Purchase Agreement.
(d) Amendment; Waiver. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless in writing and approved by the Company and the Holder.
(e) Invalidity. Any provision of this Note which may be determined by a court of competent authority to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invaliding the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(f) Section and Paragraph Headings. The section and paragraph headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed as part of this Note.

Warrant
Warrant Number: [●]
Date of Issuance: February [●], 2011 (“Issuance Date”)
INTERNATIONAL SURF RESORTS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [●], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant (including any Warrants issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the date hereof (the “Exercisability Date”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below) and/or other securities, the number of shares, subject to adjustment as provided herein, of fully paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) set forth below in Section 1(c) (the “Warrant Securities”). This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated the date hereof (the “SPA Date”), by and between the Company and the Holder (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
1.
|
EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
|
(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisability Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company by no later than two (2) Trading Days of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price in effect on the date of exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Securities as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by delivery of the Exercise Notice to the Company specifying that this Warrant is being exercised as a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Securities shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Securities. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice to the Holder and Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. (the Company's “Transfer Agent”). On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Securities to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Securities with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Securities are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Securities, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Securities represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Securities being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event by no later than three (3) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Securities with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Securities upon exercise of this Warrant.
29
(b) Exercise Price; Number of Warrant Securities. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means 120% of the PIPE Share Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), subject to adjustment as provided herein. The “Warrant Securities” means a number of shares of Common Stock and/or other securities, including units of securities, sold in the PIPE Offering, subject to adjustment as provided herein, equal to (x) the Warrant Coverage (as defined below) multiplied by (y) the Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (z) divided by the PIPE Share Price. “Warrant Coverage” means (i) 50% of the Purchase Price, if the PIPE Offering (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) closes on or prior to 120 days after the Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) 75% of the Purchase Price, if the PIPE Offering closes after 120 days but before 150 days, after the Closing Date, and (iii) 100% of the Purchase Price, if the PIPE Offering closes after 150 days after the Closing Date.
(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice, the Company shall fail to issue to the Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such third Trading Day the Holder purchases (or any third party on behalf of such Investor or for the Investor’s account purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s written request and at the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Securities) or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such Warrant Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Securities or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of such Warrant Securities and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Share Delivery Date.
(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a registration statement covering the Warrant Securities that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Securities”), or an exemption from registration, is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Securities, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
Net Number =
|
(A x B) - (A x C)
|
B
30
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Securities at the time of such exercise.
(e) Rule 144. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, assuming the Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, it is intended that the Warrant Securities issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Securities shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
(f) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Securities, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Securities that are not disputed.
(g) Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
(h) Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Transfer Agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
2.
|
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SECURITIES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, as applicable, shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
|
(a) Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the SPA Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Securities will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the SPA Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Securities will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
31
(b) Adjustment of Exercise Price Upon Issuance of New Securities at Less Than the Exercise Price. In the event the Company shall at any time after the date hereof and on or prior to the earlier of the exercise of this Warrant in full and the one (1) year anniversary of the date hereof, issue New Securities, without Consideration or for a Consideration per share less than the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the Consideration per share received by the Company for such issue or deemed issue of the New Securities; provided, that, if such issuance or deemed issuance was without Consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have received an aggregate of $0.001 of Consideration for all such New Securities issued or deemed to be issued; provided further, that, in the event of an Adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(b), the number of Warrant Securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not change.
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights or phantom stock rights), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Securities so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Securities as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.
(d) Adjustments Generally. If the Warrant Securities underlying this Warrant include securities that are convertible or exercisable, then such Warrant Securities shall be adjusted from time to time for all of the events that would cause an adjustment to the securities issued in the PIPE Offering, notwithstanding that this Warrant has not been exercised and that the Warrant Securities are not outstanding at the time of the event giving rise to such adjustment.
3.
|
RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.
|
(a) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefor:
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution covered in Section 2(a) above);
(ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend; or
(iii) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (other than shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(a) above), then and in each such case, the Holder hereof will, upon the exercise of this Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property. For purposes of this Section 3, if the PIPE Offering includes securities that are convertible into Common Stock, the calculation will be made on the basis of the number of shares the Holder would hold if the Holder had converted such securities.
(b) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Securities or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted exercise price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock or other securities equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (including, if the Warrant Securities underlying this Warrant include securities that are convertible or exercisable, had such Warrant Securities been converted or exercised, as applicable, into shares of Common Stock). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section 4 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (i) in which holders of Common Stock receive all cash or substantially all cash or (ii) with a Person whose common stock or equivalent equity security is not quoted or listed on an Eligible Market, and, in either case, at the request of the Holder delivered within 30 days after consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within seven Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.

NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith comply with all the provisions of this Warrant and take all actions consistent with effectuating the purposes of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as this Warrant is outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of all Registrable Securities.
2.1.2. Effective Registration. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
44
2.1.3. Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.
2.1.4. Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.1.5. Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.
2.1.6. Deadline for Effectiveness; Penalty for Delays. Promptly following the demand for a Demand Registration, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective, if the Registration Statement does not become subject to review by the Commission, the date which is the earliest of (a) sixty (60) days after the date of initial filing of such Registration Statement (“DemandFiling Date”) or (b) five (5) Trading Days after the Company receives notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement will not become subject to review, or (ii) if the Registration Statement becomes subject to review by the Commission, the date which is one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Demand Filing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the Effectiveness Deadline for which no Registration Statement is effective with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash no later than three (3) Business Days after the end of each 30-day period.

Commencing as of the PIPE Offering, and if at any time on after the date of this Agreement, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for stockholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, or (iii) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as have been requested by such holders in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. Penalties agreed to by the Company, if any, with regard to the timing of filing and effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the securities issued in the PIPE Offering for the benefit of any investors in the PIPE Offering shall be deemed to have been agreed to, and shall apply on the same basis for the benefit of the Investors.
2.2.2. Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:
(i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares;
(ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the holders of Registrable Securities, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
46
2.2.3. Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in connection with any such request:
3.1.1. Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by a Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.
3.1.2. Prior Notification. The Company shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders and to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.
3.1.3. Subsequent Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which such holders or their legal counsel shall object.
47
3.1.4. Amendments and Supplements. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement (which period shall not exceed the sum of one hundred eighty (180) days plus any period during which any such disposition is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any governmental agency or court) or such securities have been withdrawn.
3.1.5. State Securities Laws Compliance. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.
3.1.6. Agreements for Disposition. The Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. No holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement shall be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with such holder’s material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to such holder that such holder has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement.
3.1.7. Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Company, the principal financial officer of the Company, the principal accounting officer of the Company and all other officers and members of the management of the Company shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential investors.
3.1.8. Records. The Company shall make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.
48
3.1.9. Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such holder, of (i) any opinion of counsel to the Company delivered to any Underwriter and (ii) any comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Company to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.
3.1.10. Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, beginning within three (3) months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
3.1.11. Listing. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration.
3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.1.3(iv) or upon any suspension by the Company, pursuant to a written xxxxxxx xxxxxxx compliance program adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.3(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
3.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 and any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.2 and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.11; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Company (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 3.1.9); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company in connection with such registration and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all selling stockholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.
3.4 Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an “Investor Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1.
4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any expenses, losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such expense, loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.
50
4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
4.4 Contribution.
4.4.1. If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.4.2. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 4.4.1.
4.4.3. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in Section 4.4.1 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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.
5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its best efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.

6.3 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible that is valid and enforceable.
6.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and either party hereto may execute any such counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and both of which counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

6.9 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Investor or any other holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond.

(b) The Grantor shall not surrender or lose possession of (other than to the Secured Parties), sell, lease, rent or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the Collateral or any right or interest therein, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and except to the extent of equipment that is obsolete or no longer useful to its business.

(h) Grantor shall deliver any and all originals of Collateral consisting of certificates or Instruments to Collateral Agent, accompanied by Grantor’s endorsement, where necessary of transfer or assignments in blank, in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8. Authorization; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, to, in the name of the Grantor, or in the name of the Secured Parties, upon notice to, but without the requirement of assent by the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and any employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as the Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to (a) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) assert, adjust, xxx for, compromise or release any claims under any policies of insurance; and (ii) execute any and all such other documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf of the Grantor, that such Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and (b) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted under this Security Agreement or the Purchase Documents) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Collateral Agent to become obligations of Grantor to Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the commitments not terminated. The Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that the Collateral Agent shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 9.
SECTION 9. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Secured Parties in this Security Agreement, and all other Purchase Documents, all rights and remedies of a Collateral Agent under the UCC and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent, upon the election of the holders of the majority-in-interest of the Notes, may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Grantor’s assets, without charge or liability to the Secured Parties therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as the Collateral Agent deems advisable; provided, however, that the Grantor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent, upon the election of the majority-in-interest of the Notes, shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption the Grantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law. The Grantor hereby agrees that the sending of notice by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the Grantor set forth herein or subsequent address that the Grantor provides to the Collateral Agent in writing, of the place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof if such notice is sent five (5) business days prior to the date of such sale or other disposition or the date on or after which such sale or other disposition may occur. Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may (i) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (ii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent Collateral Agent deems appropriate, (iii) take possession of Grantor’s premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on such premises and use the same and any of Grantor’s equipment for the purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the preceding clause, and (iv) collecting any Obligation.
(b) The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of the Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein shall be applied first, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the Secured Parties in exercising or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral, and to the payment of all other amounts payable to the Secured Parties pursuant to Section 14 hereof; and second, to the payment of the Obligations. Any surplus thereof that exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to the Grantor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. The Grantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency that exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of the Collateral and Grantor shall be liable for the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
69
(c) Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Secured Parties may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Pledged Equity under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Pledged Equity for their own respective accounts, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Grantor acknowledges that any such private placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions (including an offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Grantor agrees that any such private placement shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable and that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Secured Parties determine to exercise their right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity, upon written request, Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Equity to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the amount of Pledged Equity which may be sold by the Secured Parties in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (x) upon written notice from Collateral Agent to Grantor, all rights of Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (y) except as otherwise specified in the Purchase Documents, all rights of Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant hereto shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, other distributions, principal and interest payments; and (z) all dividends, principal, interest payments and other distributions which are received by Grantor contrary to the provisions of clause (y) above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).
(e) In order to permit Secured Parties to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which they may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which they may be entitled to receive hereunder, (I) Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and (II) without limiting the effect of clause (I) above, Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Equity would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of holders of Equity Interests, calling special meetings of holders of Equity Interests and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Equity or any officer or agent thereof), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations, the cure of such Event of Default or waiver thereof as evidenced by a writing executed by Collateral Agent.
70
(f) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Secured Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of Grantor, the Secured Parties or otherwise, to enforce any Collateral constituting Intellectual Property, in which event Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Secured Parties as provided in Section 14 hereof, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Collateral constituting Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Collateral constituting Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to use its commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such infringement; (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the Collateral constituting Intellectual Property and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Security Agreement; and (iii) Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Secured Parties receive cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Collateral constituting Intellectual Property.
(g) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, Grantor, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Secured Parties the nonexclusive right and license to use all Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents or technical processes owned or used by Grantor that relate to the Collateral, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent necessary to enable the Secured Parties to realize on the Collateral in accordance with this Security Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral to enjoy the benefits of the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Secured Parties and their successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever be made to Grantor.
SECTION 10. Secured Parties’ Rights; Certain Waivers. The Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right to require the Secured Parties to: (A) proceed against any Person, (B) exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, (C) pursue any remedy in the Secured Parties power or (D) except as provided herein or in the Note, make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.
SECTION 11. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made: (i) if delivered by hand, when received, (ii) if sent by a nationally recognized courier service, one business day after delivery to such courier service, (iii) if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail, at the time such transmission is confirmed to the sender, (iv) if sent by certified mail, four business days after delivery to the postal system, in each case addressed as follows in the case of the Company and the Collateral Agent or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

SECTION 12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

c. the Pledgee may sell, resell, assign and deliver, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Stock, for cash and/or credit and upon such terms at such place or places and at such time or times and to such persons, firms, companies or corporations as the Pledgee thinks expedient, all without demand for performance by the Pledgor or any notice or advertisement whatsoever except such as may be required by law; and
d. the Pledgee may cause all or any part of the Stock held by it to be transferred into the name or names of the Purchasers.
The Pledgee may enforce its rights hereunder without any other notice and without compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereunder imposed by statute, sale of law or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Pledgor, to the fullest extent permitted by law). Pledgee acknowledges that ten (10) days’ notice of any public sale or of that date on or after which a private sale may be effected is reasonable notice. The Pledgee may buy any part or all of the Stock at any public sale and if any part or all of the Stock is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of the type which is the subject of widely-distributed price quotations, the Pledgee may buy at private sale or may make payments thereof by any means. The Pledgee may apply the cash proceeds finally received from any sale or other disposition of the Stock to the reasonable expenses by retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like, to reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all legal expenses, travel and other expenses which may be incurred by the Pledgee in attempting to collect the Obligations or to enforce this Agreement or in the prosecution of any action or proceeding related to the subject matter of this Agreement; and then the Obligations, and any surplus shall be paid to the Pledgor.
The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of the block by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers or to a public sale which is restricted to residents of the State of New York. The Pledgor agrees that any such private sales or such restricted public sales may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales or such restricted public sales shall not by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, even if the issuer would agree to do so.
In all events, Pledgee shall give Pledgor not less than ten (10) days’ written notice of any proposed disposition of the Stock.
8. Marshalling. The Pledgee shall not be required to marshal any present of future security for (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Stock pledged hereunder), or guarantees of, the Obligations, or to resort to such security or guarantees in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such security and guarantees shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, whoever, existing or arising. To the extent that he lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby agrees that he will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Pledgee’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the extent that it lawfully may, the Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
9. Pledgor’s Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired by: (a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, or the like of the Pledgor; (b) any exercise or nonexercise, or any waiver, by the Pledgee of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Obligations or any of any security therefor (including this Agreement); (c) any amendment to or modification of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Obligations; or (d) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Obligations or the release or discharge of or termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Obligations; whether or not the Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
78
10. Transfer, Etc. by Pledgor. Without the prior written consent of the Pledgee, the Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or pledge or grant any security interest in or otherwise encumber any of the Stock or any interest therein, except for the pledge thereof provided for in this Agreement other than Permitted Assigns. As used herein, Permitted Assigns shall mean any assignee who agrees to be bound by the executes this Pledge Agreement.
11. Further Assurances. Pledgor will, from time to time, execute and deliver to Pledgee all such other and further instruments and documents and take or cause to be taken all such other and further actions as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effect and confirm more securely in Pledgee all rights contemplated in this Agreement.
12. Pledgee’s Exoneration. Under no circumstances shall the Pledgee be deemed to assume any responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to the Stock or any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto, other than to exercise reasonable care in the physical custody of the Stock. The Pledgee shall not be required to take any action of any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or the Pledgor’s rights in the Stock or against other parties thereto, other than to exercise reasonable care in the physical custody of the Stock.
13. No Waiver, Etc. No act, failure or delay by the Pledgee shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Pledgee of any default or right or remedy which it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion. The Pledgor hereby waives presentment, notice of dishonor and protest of all instruments, included in or evidence any of the Obligations, and any and all other notices and demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein).
