(b) Indemnification for Breach of Agreement.
(1) Breach by Recruiter. Subject to Section 5.3, in the event that Recruiter breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or affidavit delivered pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to the Closing, and, provided that Truli or Truli Representative makes a written claim for indemnification against Recruiter, prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “General Expiration Date”), Recruiter agrees as a condition of all Recruiter Stockholders receiving delivery of the Merger Consideration to indemnify Truli from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences Truli may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification resulting from, arising out of, relating to, or caused by such breach by Recruiter in accordance with the procedure described in Section 5.2.
(2) Breach by Truli. Subject to Section 5.3, in the event Truli breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Agreement or in any certificate or affidavit delivered by Truli at or prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, and, provided that Recruiter makes a written claim for indemnification against Truli prior to the General Expiration Date, Truli agrees to indemnify the Recruiter Stockholders from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Recruiter Stockholders may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification resulting from, arising out of, relating to or caused by the breach by Truli in accordance with the procedure described in Section 5.2.
(c) Truli shall enter into indemnification agreements with each officer and director of Recruiter who upon Closing will become a director and/or an executive officer of Truli in the form annexed as Exhibit C.
(d) In the event Truli consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Truli shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.1.
37
(e) This Section 5.1 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Truli. This Section 5.1 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Parties (including their successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of each of the Indemnified Parties (including their successors and heirs) affected thereby. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.1. Truli shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.1. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall survive the consummation of the Merger.
(f) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.1 is made but it is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Parties shall contribute to the losses to which any Indemnified Party may be subject (i) in accordance with the relative benefits received by Truli on the one hand, and the Recruiter Stockholders on the other hand, and (ii) if (and only if) the allocation provided in clause (i) of this Section 5.1(f) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as to reflect not only the relative benefits, but also the relative fault of Truli on the one hand, and the Recruiter Stockholders on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses as well as any relevant equitable considerations. No person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not also found liable for fraudulent misrepresentation.
5.2 Third Party Claims; Procedure.
(a) Promptly (and in any event within five days after the service of any summons or other document) after acquiring knowledge of any third party Claim for which one or more of the Parties (the “Indemnified Party”) may seek indemnification against other Parties (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article V, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Failure to provide notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 5.2, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual damage caused by that failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party upon delivery of notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, after written notice from the Indemnified Party, fails to take timely action to defend the action resulting from the Claim or otherwise respond to the Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the action resulting from the Claim by counsel of its own choosing, but at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any Claim against it, and recover from the Indemnifying Party any amount paid in settlement or compromise thereof, if it has given written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party has failed to take timely action to defend the Claim; otherwise, the Indemnified Party shall have no right to settle or compromise any Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle or compromise any claim against the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnified Party provided that the terms of the settlement or compromise provide for the unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and require the payment of monetary damages only.
38
(b) Upon its receipt of any amount paid by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article V, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party such documents as it may reasonably request assigning to the Indemnifying Party any and all rights, to the extent indemnified, that the Indemnified Party may have against third parties with respect to the Claim for which indemnification is being received.
(c) Xxxx Xxxx shall be appointed as representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of Truli (the “Truli Representative”) with respect to any Claim asserted by Truli arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and shall be authorized to initiate the Action or proceeding on behalf of Truli alleging a breach of this Agreement and seeking to reduce the Merger Consideration as a result of such breach, subject to Section 5.3, and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Truli Representative pursuant to this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to give and receive notices and communications; agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist Truli Representative in complying with his duties and obligations; and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Truli Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.
5.3 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in this Section 5.3, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive an indemnification payment with respect to any Claim or Claims specified in this Article V unless the Claim, or the aggregate amount of all Claims made by the Indemnified Party hereunder, equals or exceeds $25,000 (in which case all of such Claim or Claims back to the first dollar will be recoverable).
(b) Any recovery on the account of any indemnification including any additional shares of Truli Common Stock issued or issuable hereunder shall be applied and allocated ratably to all Recruiter Stockholders based on the proportional Merger Consideration initially issued to the Recruiter Stockholders.
(c) The Parties agree that the right of each Indemnified Party to make Claims pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b) shall survive the Closing until 11:59 p.m. on the date that is one year following the Closing Date (the “General Expiration Date”); provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the General Expiration Date, any Indemnified Party delivers to the Indemnifying Party a written notice asserting in good faith a Claim for recovery under Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), then the Claim asserted in such notice shall survive the General Expiration Date until such time as such Claim is fully and finally resolved.
(d) The Parties agree that the indemnification right set forth in this Agreement shall be the Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for specific performance or other equitable remedy.
39
(e) In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Truli Common Stock) or subdivision with respect to Truli Common Stock, any change or conversion of Truli Common Stock into other securities, any other dividend or distribution with respect to the Truli Common Stock (or if a record date with respect to any of the foregoing should occur), after the date of this Agreement, appropriate and proportionate equitable adjustments shall be made to the number of shares of Truli Common Stock issuable for indemnification purposes pursuant to this Agreement.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
10. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding (except as provided in Section 10 (f)) whether civil, criminal or administrative, (a “Proceeding”), or is contacted by any governmental or regulatory body in connection with any investigation or inquiry (an “Investigation”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or executive officer (as such term is utilized pursuant to interpretations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding or Investigation is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity as set forth above shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that an Advancement of Expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise (an “Undertaking”).
(b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In
(i) | any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and |
(ii) | any suit by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, |
the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right hereunder, or by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such Advancement of Expenses under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Company.
B-2
(c) The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
(d) The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
(e) The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses, to any employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors, and executive officers of the Company.
(f) Notwithstanding the indemnification provided for by this Section 10, the Company’s bylaws, or any written agreement, such indemnity shall not include any expenses incurred by such Indemnitees relating to or arising from any Proceeding in which the Company asserts a direct claim against an Indemnitee, or an Indemnitee asserts a direct claim against the Company, whether such claim is termed a complaint, counterclaim, crossclaim, third-party complaint or otherwise.

This Agreement shall be considered effective as of __________ ___, 2019.
WHEREAS, competent and experienced persons are becoming increasingly reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers, or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through liability insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to the corporation;
WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the inability to attract and retain such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s shareholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;
WHEREAS, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) empowers the Company to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;
WHEREAS, the Indemnitee is willing to serve as an officer and director of the Company on the condition that he be so indemnified.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the Company and the Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(b) “Change of Control” means the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events:
(i) any Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the Company's then outstanding voting securities unless the change in relative Beneficial Ownership of the Company's securities by any Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
C-1
(ii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, unless immediately following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, all of the Beneficial Owners of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such transaction;
(iii) during any period of two consecutive years, not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new directors whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; or

(c) “Claim” means:

(d) “Delaware Court” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 9(e) below.

Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by the Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against the Indemnitee. The parties agree that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which the Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit or declaration of the Indemnitee's counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable.
C-2
(g) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(h) “Expense Advance” means any payment of Expenses advanced to the Indemnitee by the Company pursuant to Section 4 or Section 5 hereof.
(i) “Indemnifiable Event” means any event or occurrence, whether occurring before, on or after the date of this Agreement, related to the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, trustee or agent of any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise (collectively with the Company, “Enterprise”) or by reason of an action or inaction by the Indemnitee in any such capacity (whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any the Loss is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement).
(j) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently performs, nor in the past five years has performed, services for either: (i) the Company or the Indemnitee (other than in connection with matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement or of other indemnitees under similar agreements) or (ii) any other party to the Claim giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement.
(k) “Losses” means any and all Expenses, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other), ERISA excise taxes, amounts paid or payable in settlement, including any interest, assessments, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement and all other charges paid or payable in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in, any Claim.

2. Agreement to Serve. The Indemnitee agrees to serve as an officer and director of the Company for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until the Indemnitee tenders his resignation. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment agreement between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or Enterprise) and the Indemnitee. This Agreement shall continue in force after the Indemnitee has ceased to serve as an officer or director of the Company or, at the request of the Company, of any of its subsidiaries or Enterprise, as provided in Section 12 hereof.
3. Indemnification. Subject to Section 9 and Section 10 of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware in effect on the date hereof, or as such laws may from time to time hereafter be amended to increase the scope of such permitted indemnification, against any and all Losses if the Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or participant in, any Claim by reason of or arising in part out of an Indemnifiable Event, including, without limitation, Claims brought by or in the right of the Company, Claims brought by third parties, and Claims in which the Indemnitee is solely a witness.
4. Advancement of Expenses. The Indemnitee shall have the right to advancement by the Company, prior to the final disposition of any Claim by final adjudication to which there are no further rights of appeal, of any and all Expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any Claim arising out of an Indemnifiable Event. The Indemnitee’s right to such advancement is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within 20 days after any request by the Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request, (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of the Indemnitee, (b) advance to the Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse the Indemnitee for such Expenses. If requested by a law firm or other professional representing the Indemnitee, the Company shall pay such firm(s) a reasonable retainer. In connection with any request for Expense Advances, the Indemnitee shall not be required to provide any documentation or information to the extent that the provision thereof would undermine or otherwise jeopardize the attorney-client privilege. In connection with any request for Expense Advances, the Indemnitee shall execute and deliver to the Company an undertaking (which shall be accepted without reference to the Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expense Advances) to repay any amounts paid, advanced, or reimbursed by the Company for such Expenses to the extent that it is ultimately determined, following the final disposition of such Claim, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnitee's obligation to reimburse the Company for Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.
C-4
5. Indemnification for Expenses in Enforcing Rights. To the fullest extent allowable under applicable law, the Company shall also indemnify against, and, if requested by the Indemnitee, shall advance to the Indemnitee subject to and in accordance with Section 4, any Expenses actually and reasonably paid or incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any action or proceeding by the Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under any provision of this Agreement, or under any other agreement or provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims relating to Indemnifiable Events, and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company regardless of whether the Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be. However, in the event that the Indemnitee is ultimately determined not to be entitled to such indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be, then all amounts advanced under this Section 5 shall be repaid. The Indemnitee shall be required to reimburse the Company in the event that a final judicial determination is made that such action brought by the Indemnitee was frivolous or not made in good faith.
6. Partial Indemnity. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion of any Losses in respect of a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which the Indemnitee is entitled.
7. Notification and Defense of Claims.
(a) Notification of Claims. The Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim which could relate to an Indemnifiable Event or for which the Indemnitee could seek Expense Advances, including a brief description (based upon information then available to the Indemnitee) of the nature of, and the facts underlying, such Claim. The failure by the Indemnitee to timely notify the Company hereunder shall not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder except to the extent that the Company has been damaged by such delay. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with respect to any judicial award in a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity to participate at its expense in the defense of such action. If at the time of the receipt of such notice, the Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance in effect under which coverage for Claims related to Indemnifiable Events is potentially available, the Company shall give prompt written notice to the applicable insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies.
(b) Defense of Claims. The Company shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any such Claim, the Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently directly incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnitee’s defense of such Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own legal counsel in such Claim, but all Expenses related to such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense shall be at the Indemnitee’s own expense; provided, however, that if (i) the Indemnitee’s employment of its own legal counsel has been authorized by the Company, (ii) the Company’s counsel has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of such Claim, (iii) after a Change in Control, the Indemnitee’s employment of its own counsel has been approved by the Independent Counsel or (iv) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Claim, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain its own separate counsel (but not more than one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel in respect of any such Claim) and all Expenses related to such separate counsel shall be borne by the Company.
C-5
8. Procedure upon Application for Indemnification. In order to obtain indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, including in such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Claim, provided that documentation and information need not be so provided to the extent that the provision thereof would undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege. Indemnification shall be made insofar as the Company determines the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification in accordance with Section 9 below.
9. Determination of Right to Indemnification.
(a) Mandatory Indemnification; Indemnification as a Witness.
(i) To the extent that the Indemnitee shall have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event or any portion thereof or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including without limitation dismissal without prejudice, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses relating to such Claim in accordance with Section 3 to the fullest extent allowable by law, and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 9(b)) shall be required.
(ii) To the extent that the Indemnitee’s involvement in a Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event is to prepare to serve and serve as a witness, and not as a party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Losses incurred in connection therewith to the fullest extent allowable by law and no Standard of Conduct Determination (as defined in Section 9(b)) shall be required.
(b) Standard of Conduct. To the extent that the provisions of Section 9(a) are inapplicable to a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event that shall have been finally disposed of, any determination of whether the Indemnitee has satisfied any applicable standard of conduct under Delaware law that is a legally required condition to indemnification of the Indemnitee hereunder against Losses relating to such Claim and any determination that Expense Advances must be repaid to the Company (a “Standard of Conduct Determination”) shall be made as follows:
C-6
(i) if no Change in Control has occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum or (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; and
(ii) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, (A) if the Indemnitee so requests in writing, by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board or (B) otherwise, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee against and, if requested by the Indemnitee, shall reimburse the Indemnitee for, or advance to the Indemnitee, within 20 days of such request, any and all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in cooperating with the person or persons making such Standard of Conduct Determination.
(c) Making the Standard of Conduct Determination. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Standard of Conduct Determination required under Section 9(b) to be made as promptly as practicable. If the person or persons designated to make the Standard of Conduct Determination Section 9(b) shall not have made a determination within 30 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of a written request from the Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8 (the date of such receipt being the “Notification Date”) and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, then the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided that such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days if the person or persons making such determination in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate information relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of the Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of any Claim. For avoidance of doubt, this does not affect the Indemnitee’s right to Expense Advances under Section 4.
(d) Payment of Indemnification. If, in regard to any Losses:
(i) The Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a);
(ii) no Standard Conduct Determination is legally required as a condition to indemnification of the Indemnitee hereunder; or
C-7
(iii) the Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) have satisfied the Standard of Conduct Determination,
then the Company shall pay to the Indemnitee, within five days after the later of (A) the Notification Date or (B) the earliest date on which the applicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is satisfied, an amount equal to such Losses.
(e) Selection of Independent Counsel for Standard of Conduct Determination. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(i)(C), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shall give written notice to the Indemnitee advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii)(B), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, the Indemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “Independent Counsel” in Section 1(i), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit; and (ii) the non-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such other party of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately preceding sentences, the introductory clause of this sentence and numbered clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. If applicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no Independent Counsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have been selected within 20 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(e) or the Indemnitee gives its initial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(e) as the case may be, either the Company or the Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Court”) to resolve any objection which shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnitee to the other's selection of Independent Counsel and/or to appoint as Independent Counsel a person to be selected by the Court or such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as Independent Counsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with the Independent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 9(b).
C-8
(f) Presumptions and Defenses.
(i) The Indemnitee's Entitlement to Indemnification. In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such determination shall presume that the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. Any Standard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to the Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Delaware Court. No determination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that the Indemnitee has not satisfied any applicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by the Indemnitee to secure indemnification or reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct.
(ii) Reliance as a Safe Harbor. For purposes of this Agreement, and without creating any presumption as to a lack of good faith if the following circumstances do not exist, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if the Indemnitee's actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to the Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.
(iii) No Other Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or have any particular belief, or that indemnification hereunder is otherwise not permitted.
(iv) Defense to Indemnification and Burden of Proof. It shall be a defense to any action brought by the Indemnitee against the Company to enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Losses incurred in defending against a Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event in advance of its final disposition) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any related Standard of Conduct Determination, the burden of proving such a defense or that the Indemnitee did not satisfy the applicable standard of conduct shall be on the Company.
C-9
(v) Resolution of Claims. The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful on the merits or otherwise for purposes of Section 9(a)(i) if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event to which the Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against the Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with our without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise for purposes of Section 9(a)(i). The Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome this presumption.
10. Exclusions from Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to:
(a) indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for Expenses or Losses with respect to proceedings initiated by the Indemnitee, including any proceedings against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees and not by way of defense, except:
(i) proceedings referenced in Section 5 above (unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous); or
(ii) where the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such proceedings.
(b) indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.
(c) indemnify the Indemnitee for the disgorgement of profits arising from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute.
(d) indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for the Indemnitee’s reimbursement to the Company of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation previously received by the Indemnitee or payment of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements under Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 in connection with an accounting restatement of the Company or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act).
C-10
11. Settlement of Claims. The Company shall not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any threatened or pending Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event effected without the Company's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Company shall be liable for indemnification of the Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if an Independent Counsel has approved the settlement. The Company shall not settle any Claim related to an Indemnifiable Event in any manner that would impose any Losses on the Indemnitee or subject the Indemnitee to any equitable relief without the Indemnitee's prior written consent.
12. Duration. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that the Indemnitee is an officer or director of the Company (or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or agent of another Enterprise) and shall continue thereafter (i) so long as the Indemnitee may be subject to any possible Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event (including any rights of appeal thereto) and (ii) throughout the pendency of any proceeding (including any rights of appeal thereto) commenced by the Indemnitee to enforce or interpret his or her rights under this Agreement, even if, in either case, he or she may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any such Claim or proceeding.
13. Non-Exclusivity. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder will be in addition to any other rights the Indemnitee may have under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”); provided, however, that (a) to the extent that the Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, the Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification than that provided under this Agreement as of the date hereof, the Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder.
14. Liability Insurance. For the duration of the Indemnitee's service as an officer or director for the Company, and thereafter for so long as the Indemnitee shall be subject to any pending Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to obtain or continue to maintain in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage that is at least substantially comparable in scope and amount to that provided by the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company, the Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if the Indemnitee is a director, or of the Company’s officers, if the Indemnitee is an officer (and not a director) by such policy. Upon request, the Company will provide to the Indemnitee copies of all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance applications, binders, policies, declarations, endorsements and other related materials.
15. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of any Losses to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise received payment under any insurance policy, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable by the Company hereunder.
C-11
16. Subrogation. In the event of payment to the Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.
17. Amendments. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding unless in the form of a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. Except as specifically provided herein, no failure to exercise or any delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.
18. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substances satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
19. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any portion thereof) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Exhibit D
Certificate of Designations for the Truli Series E Preferred Stock
The undersigned, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the Chief Executive Officer of Truli Technologies, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the DGCL, does hereby certify:
That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), the Board of Directors at a meeting on December 19, 2018, adopted resolutions authorizing the creation and issuance of a series of preferred stock designated as the “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock”, none of which shares have been issued;
That the Certificate of Designation for the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) was filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware on March 25, 2019.
That pursuant to the authority expressly conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent on March 29, 2019, adopted the following resolutions amending and restating the Certificate of Designation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations”):
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors and in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL, the Certificate of Designation for the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock shall be amended and restated in its entirety, and the designation and number of shares constituting such series, and the rights, powers, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to such series, in addition to any set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, shall be as follows:
Section 1. Designation and Authorized Shares. There shall hereby be created and established a series of preferred stock of the Corporation designated as “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The authorized number of shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be 775,000 shares (the “Preferred Shares”). Each Preferred Share shall have a par value of $0.0001. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in Section 12 below.
Section 2. Stated Value. Each Preferred Share shall have a stated value of $20 per share (the “Stated Value”).
Section 3. Liquidation. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive out of assets of the Corporation legally available therefor: (a) a pro rata portion of 79.48% of the Second Liquidation Preference; and (b) a pro rata portion of 56.60% of the value of any cash or other property to be distributed to the Holders, the Series D Stockholders and the Series F Stockholders as payment of the Remaining Liquidation Amount. Any distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, shall be made in cash to the extent possible.
D-1
Section 4. Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, each Holder shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each Preferred Share owned at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such Preferred Shares are convertible into at such time, but not in excess of the conversion limitations set forth in Section 5(d) herein. Except as otherwise required by law, the Holders shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters and shall not vote as a separate class.
Section 5. Conversion.
(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), at any time or times on or after the Closing Date, each Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding Preferred Shares held by such Holder into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5(c) at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Corporation shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below)) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Preferred Share (as defined below).
(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Preferred Share pursuant to Section 5(c) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Stated Value of such Preferred Share by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert a Preferred Share into shares of Common Stock on any date after the Closing Date (a “Conversion Date”), a Holder shall deliver (via, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion of the Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Corporation. Within three (3) Trading Days following a conversion of any such Preferred Shares as aforesaid, such Holder shall surrender to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Corporation the original certificates representing the Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Share Certificates”) so converted as aforesaid (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to the Preferred Shares in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Corporation shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Corporation shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Corporation’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in such Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion pursuant is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to such Holder (or its designee) a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
D-2
(ii) Corporation’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, to credit such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC (or subject to Section 5(c)(i) to issue to such Holder a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s share register) for such number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder’s conversion of any Preferred Share, a Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred, and such Holder shall be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 7, in addition to all other remedies available to such Holder.
(d) Maximum Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, at no time may all or a portion of the Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) by such holder at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock more than 4.99% of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time (which provision may be waived by such Holder by written notice from such Holder to the Corporation, which notice shall be effective 61 calendar days after the date of such notice). Additionally, in no event shall any Preferred Shares be converted if after giving effect to the conversion, the Holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of all of the Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time. For purposes of this Section 5(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (3) any other notice by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a holder of Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series E Preferred Stock, held by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported, which in any event are convertible or exercisable, as the case may be, into shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock within sixty (60) days’ of such calculation and which are not subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitations herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
Section 6. Reserved.
Section 7. Triggering Events. If at any time while any Preferred Shares remain outstanding and any Triggering Event occurs, the Corporation shall pay within three (3) days to each Holder $210 per each $1,000 of the Stated Value of each such Holder’s Preferred Shares, provided however that this Section 7 shall not apply in the case of a failure to timely convert under Section 5(c)(ii) due to an insufficient number of authorized shares until 120 days from the Closing Date.
Section 8. Other Provisions.
(a) Reservation of Common Stock. After the expiration of sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, or such longer period as provided for in Section 3(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, so long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Corporation shall at all times reserve at least two (2) times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Preferred Shares then outstanding and the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding under the Transaction Documents (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “Required Reserve Amount”). Any failure of the Corporation to maintain the Required Reserve Amount shall be deemed to be a Triggering Event. The Required Reserve Amount (including each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of the Preferred Shares held by each Holder on the Closing Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder’s Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of the Preferred Shares then held by the Holders.
D-3
(b) Record Holders. The Corporation shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders of each Preferred Share and the Stated Value of the Preferred Shares. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Corporation and each Holder of the Preferred Shares shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Preferred Share for all purposes (including the right to receive payments and dividends hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(c) Transfer of Preferred Shares. A Holder may transfer some or all of its Preferred Shares without the consent of the Corporation, subject to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any Preferred Shares are to be transferred, the applicable Holder shall surrender the applicable Preferred Share Certificate to the Corporation, whereupon the Corporation will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate, registered as such Holder may request, representing the outstanding number of Preferred Shares being transferred by such Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding number of Preferred Shares is being transferred, a new Preferred Share Certificate to such Holder representing the outstanding number of Preferred Shares not being transferred. The Corporation shall record all such transfers pursuant to this Section 8(c) in the Register.
(d) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Preferred Share Certificate. Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Preferred Share Certificate (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the applicable Holder to the Corporation in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Preferred Share Certificate, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to such Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the applicable outstanding number of Preferred Shares.
Section 9. Restriction and Limitations. Except as expressly provided herein or as required by law, so long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the vote or written consent of the Required Holders, take any action which would adversely and materially affect any of the preferences, limitations or relative rights of the Series E Preferred Stock.
Section 10. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while any Preferred Shares remain outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, each Preferred Share shall receive such consideration as if such number Preferred Shares had been, immediately prior to such foregoing dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which it could convert at such time. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. Notwithstanding the preceding, there shall be no adjustment as a result of the contemplated reverse stock split.
D-4
Section 11. Equal Treatment of Holders. No consideration (including any modification of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation or related Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any person or entity to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation or Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the Holders. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each holder by the Corporation and negotiated separately by each holder, and is intended for the Corporation to treat all Holders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as such holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Series E Preferred Stock or otherwise.
