The Company represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers that, as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and its “Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Agreement means any joint venture or any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns capital stock or holds an equivalent equity or similar interest representing a majority of such interests outstanding) are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or in the other Transaction Documents or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Company has no Subsidiaries, except as set forth in the SEC Reports.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined in Section 7(x)), the ITAI, and each of the other agreements entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares and Warrants and the reservation for issuance and the issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the reservation for issuance and issuance of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized by the Company’s board of directors and (other than the filing with the SEC of one or more Registration Statements (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement and any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies and the other items set forth in clause (e) below) no further filing, consent, or authorization is required by the Company, its board of directors or its stockholders. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents of even date herewith have been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The Certificate of Designations in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Certificate of Designations”) has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and is in full force and effect, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and has not been amended.

(c) Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants have been duly authorized and upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents shall be validly issued and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the rights and preferences set forth in the Certificate of Designations. As of the Closing, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock not less than the sum of 500% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the maximum number of Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof, a Conversion Price of $0.20 and without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth in the Certificate of Designations) and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants (assuming for purposes hereof, an Exercise Price of $0.22 and without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants), in each case, determined as if issued as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination. Upon issuance or conversion in accordance with the Certificate of Designations or the exercise of the Warrants and payment of the exercise price under the Warrants (including by Cashless Exercise) thereunder, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, respectively, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities to the Purchasers is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.

 

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, and reservation for issuance and issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of any certificate of incorporation, any certificate of formation, any certificate of designations or other constituent documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected.

(e) Consents. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any government, court, regulatory, self-regulatory, administrative agency or commission or other governmental agency, authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, of competent jurisdiction (a “Governmental Authority”) or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, except for (i) the filing with the SEC of one or more registration statements in accordance with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) the filing of the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (iii) the filing of a Form D pursuant to Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the 1933 Act and (iv) the filings required by applicable state “blue sky” securities laws, rules and regulations. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, each Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that, no Purchaser is (i) an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) based in part on the representations of the Purchasers an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby are merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to each Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

 

(g) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Company has complied and will comply with the offering restriction requirements of Regulation S. Other than as set forth in Schedule 3(g) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities. The Company shall be responsible for the payment of such party’s and any other placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions in the amount set forth in Schedule 3(g) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby in connection with the sale of the Securities. The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim.

 

(h) No Integrated Offering. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or caused this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, but excluding stockholder consents, if any, required to authorize and issue the Securities or waive any anti-dilution provisions in connection therewith. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates and any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.

(i) Dilutive Effect. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares will increase in certain circumstances and that the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase in certain circumstances. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, and its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and the Warrants, is, in each case, not limited by the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company.

 

(j) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Certificate of Incorporation, (as defined in Section 3(q)) any certificates of designations or the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation which is or could become applicable to any Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Company’s issuance of the Securities and any Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities. The Company and its board of directors have taken all necessary actions, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Company.

 

(k) Material Liabilities; Financial Statements. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(k), or in the SEC Reports (as defined below) or Financial Statements, the Company has no liabilities or obligations, absolute or contingent (individually or in the aggregate), except (i) liabilities and obligations incurred after December 31, 2017 in the ordinary course of business that are not material and (ii) obligations under contracts made in the ordinary course of business that would not be required to be reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby (“GAAP”). The financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, which have been filed with the SEC (the “Financial Statements”), fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at the respective dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The Financial Statements do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports.

 

(l) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2017, except as set forth on Schedule 3(l) hereto, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business, assets, properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide any Purchaser with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the Execution Date without the express prior written consent of such Purchaser, and no such Purchaser shall request any information that would cause the Company to be in violation of this provision. The Company shall at all times comply with its obligations under Regulation FD. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any Purchaser shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Purchaser, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations, provided that each Purchaser shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release. Without the prior written consent of any applicable Purchaser, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall disclose the name of such Purchaser in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise, except as the Company has been advised by its counsel as may be required by law including the Rules of the SEC or in response to written comments of the Staff of the SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company have an obligation to disclose any information which a Purchaser receives from a member of the Company’s board of directors that is an affiliate of such Purchaser.

 

(i) Additional Preferred Shares; Variable Securities. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Preferred Shares, the Company will not issue any Preferred Shares other than to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Certificate of Designations or the Warrants. From the Execution Date until the Purchasers no longer beneficially own any Preferred Shares, the Company shall not, in any manner, issue or sell any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to any fixed price.

 

26

 

 

(j) Corporate Existence. So long as any Purchaser beneficially owns any Securities, the Company shall (i) maintain its corporate existence and (ii) not be party to any Fundamental Transaction unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants.

 

(k) Reservation of Shares. On or prior to the Closing Date the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 500% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable (i) upon conversion of the maximum number of Preferred Shares issued (assuming for purposes hereof, a Conversion Price of $0.20 and without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth in the Certificate of Designations) and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants (assuming for purposes hereof, an Exercise Price of 0.20 and without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants), in each case, determined as if issued as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination (the “Required Reserved Amount”). If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations under Section 3(c), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting any treasury shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount. In connection with any such vote, each Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall, if requested by the Company, vote all shares of capital stock held by such Purchaser in favor of any such increase in the authorized number of shares. Following the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation authorizing a sufficient number of shares, in addition to any corporate action taken to authorize such additional shares, for so long as the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, the Company shall pay to any Purchaser who submits to the Company a request for conversion of Preferred Shares, which request cannot be fulfilled because of insufficient available shares, an amount in cash equal to $500 per day for the initial ten (10) days that such Required Reserved Amount is not met, then $1,000 per day in cash, for each day thereafter until such Required Reserved Amount is satisfied. As of the Execution Date, the Company has reserved for issuance 125,000,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and 62,500,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Warrants.

 

(l) Conduct of Business. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall at all times be in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; the PATRIOT Act, and all other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations; and the laws, regulations and Executive Orders and sanctions programs administered by the OFAC, including, without limitation, the “Anti-Money Laundering/OFAC Laws”.

The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(m) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Trading Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

(5) “Subsequent Placement” means any direct or indirect offer, sale, grant of any Option to purchase, or other disposition of (or announcement of any offer, sale, grant or any Option to purchase or other disposition of) any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ equity, debt or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt (including non-convertible debt), preferred stock or other instrument or security.

 

(ii) From the Closing Date until the date that is 24 months thereafter, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(n)(ii).

 

(1) The Company shall deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares (each a “Preferred Holder”, and collectively, the “Preferred Holders”) an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, and (y) identify the Persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with each Preferred Holder its pro rata portion (based on such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of the aggregate stated value of Preferred Shares issued on the Closing Date) of one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Securities (the “Basic Amount”). With respect to each Preferred Holder that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, such Preferred Holder may also indicate it will purchase or acquire any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Preferred Holders should the other Preferred Holders subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated once until the Preferred Holders shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.

 

(2) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Preferred Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Preferred Holder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Preferred Holder’s Basic Amount that such Preferred Holder elects to purchase and, if such Preferred Holder shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Preferred Holder elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Preferred Holders are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Preferred Holder who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Preferred Holder who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Preferred Holder bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Preferred Holders that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent its deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall deliver to the Preferred Holders a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such Preferred Holder’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.

 

30

 

 

(3) The Company shall have thirty (30) Trading Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Preferred Holders (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”) but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

 

(4) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above), then each Preferred Holder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Preferred Holder elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Preferred Holders pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Preferred Holder so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Preferred Holders in accordance with Section 4(n)(ii)(1) above.

 

(5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Preferred Holders shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Preferred Holders, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above if the Preferred Holders have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Preferred Holders of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Preferred Holders of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Preferred Holders and their respective counsel.

(6) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Preferred Holders or other persons in accordance with Section 4(n)(ii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Preferred Holders under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

 

(7) The Company and the Preferred Holders agree that if any Preferred Holder elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provisions whereby any Preferred Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Preferred Holder prior to such Subsequent Placement, other than restrictions on transfer imposed under federal and state securities laws.

 

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(n) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Preferred Holders, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Preferred Holders that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the Preferred Holders will not be in possession of material non-public information, by the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Preferred Holders, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Preferred Holders shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide each Preferred Holder with another Offer Notice and each Preferred Holder will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(n)(ii). From and after the Execution Date, the Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to the Purchasers in any 60 day period.

 

(iii) In the event the Company executes a Subsequent Placement Agreement for an equity or convertible debt financing of any type (including, but not limited to, common stock issuances, preferred stock issuances, convertible debt offerings, rights offerings or debt financing with warrant coverage, but not including non-convertible debt financings) or otherwise enters into a financing transaction with another individual or entity that contains terms and provisions (including fees, dividend or interest provisions or rates, ranking, redemption, conversion price, warrant coverage, expense reimbursement or otherwise) that are more favorable individually or in the aggregate than the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall, within five (5) Trading Days of the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, execute amendments to the Transaction Documents with Purchasers to provide for the same more favorable terms and provisions for the Preferred Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4(n)(iii) shall apply regardless of whether any Preferred Holder participated in any Offer pursuant to which a portion of the Offered Securities were purchased pursuant to a Subsequent Placement Agreement, and the failure by any Preferred Holder to purchase any securities pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(n), shall not act as a waiver of the Preferred Holders rights to receive the benefits of this Section 4(n)(iii). This Section 4(n)(iii) shall apply from the Execution Date until the Purchasers no longer beneficially own any Securities.

 

32

 

 

(iv) The restrictions contained in subsection (ii) of this Section 4(n) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities.

 

(o) Taxes. The Company will pay, and save and hold the Purchasers harmless from any and all liabilities (including interest and penalties) with respect to, or resulting from any delay or failure in paying, stamp and other taxes (other than income taxes), if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable on the execution and delivery or acquisition of the Preferred Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares.

 

(p) D&O Insurance. The Company shall obtain such director’s and officer’s insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) in such form, with such carrier and in the aggregate amount of $5 million or such lesser amount as shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Preferred Shares (the “Required Holders”) within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. Thereafter, for so long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain the D&O Insurance with such carriers as reasonably determined by the Company. In the event the Company merges with another entity and is not the surviving corporation, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any Person or any other similar Fundamental Transaction occurs, the Company shall require, prior to the consummation of such transaction, that such successor entity deliver a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, assuming the Company’s obligations herein to maintain such D&O insurance.

 

(q) Books and Records. The Company will keep proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

 

(r) Lock-Up. Without consent of the Required Holders, the Company shall not amend, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement. If at any time prior to the twenty-first month anniversary of the Execution Date, any Person is, or is contemplated to become, a stockholder or security holder of the Company that is not a party to a Lock-Up Agreement solely as a result of a sale or other transfer any securities held by a party subject to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause such Person to, enter into a Lock-Up Agreement prior to issuing any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to such Person and prior to allowing such Person to become a stockholder or security holder of the Company. Provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 4(r) shall prohibit the Company from transferring shares of Common Stock of a stockholder as the result of the death or disability of such stockholder as long as any stock certificates contain the customary restricted securities legend. Furthermore, the Company shall not accelerate the delivery of any shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding restricted stock units.

 

33

 

 

(s) Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchasers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.

 

(t) Stock, Option and Equity Plans. From and after the Closing until the twenty-first month anniversary of the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, (i) amend or modify any terms or conditions of any of the Company’s stock, Option or other equity incentive plans in existence on the Execution Date (the “Incentive Plans”), (ii) grant any stock, Options or equity based incentives to any employees, members of management, directors or advisors of the Company or its Subsidiaries, other than pursuant to the Incentive Plans, or (ii) create or implement any stock, Option or other equity incentive plan, other than the Incentive Plans. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, until thirty (30) days after the earlier of (1) the date that is six (6) months following the Closing, and (2) the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall not file and/or utilize any registration statements on Form S-8 for the offering or distribution of securities without obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

 

(u) New Debt. For a period of twenty-one months from the Execution Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall enter into any agreement creating Indebtedness for the Company or any Subsidiary, including but not limited to entering into (i) any mortgage, credit agreement or other facility, indenture agreement, factoring agreement or other instrument, under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for borrowed money or money due that involves, either individually or in aggregate with other such agreements, obligations greater than $100,000, and (ii) any equipment lease, agreement evidencing purchase money security interests, or other similar transaction in the ordinary course of business that involves, either individually or in aggregate with other such agreements, obligations greater than $100,000, in either case without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

 

(v) Distributions. While the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company shall not make any distributions on equity, or any payments on debt other than payments of dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares and scheduled payments of principal and interest on debt in existence as of the Execution Date and as set forth on Schedule 4(v) hereto or without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

 

(w) DTC Eligibility. For so long as any Preferred Stock or Warrants are outstanding, the Company will employ as the transfer agent for the Common Stock a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program and cause the Common Stock to be transferable pursuant to such program.

 

34

 

 

(x) Acknowledgement Regarding Purchasers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by the Company and each Purchaser that each Purchaser has been asked by the Company or its Subsidiaries to agree, and such Purchaser has agreed, to refrain from shorting shares of the Common Stock of the Company from inception though any applicable holding period pertaining to the Common Stock owned by such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Purchaser may engage in any “derivative” transaction or any hedging and or trading activities (not expressly prohibited in the preceding sentence) at any time during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Conversion Shares and/or the Warrant Shares are being determined. Each Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter party in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

(y) Regulation S Compliance. Each Purchaser agrees that, during the six (6) months following the Closing, it shall not engage in any transaction involving any Securities that would be prohibited or restricted by, or would otherwise render unavailable any applicable safe harbor provided by Regulation S.

 

(z) Closing Documents. On or prior to thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Purchaser a complete closing set of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities and any other documents required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 7 hereof or otherwise.

 

(aa) Transfer Agent. Each Purchaser will concurrently copy the Company on any conversion notice pertaining to Preferred Shares and any exercise notice pertaining to Warrants that Purchaser sends to the Transfer Agent. Each Purchaser will provide Company with not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice before sending any notice to increase the Reserve Shares to the Tranfer Agent, and will also concurrently copy the Company on any such notice when sent. Purchasers may not send any conversion notice, exercise notice, share reserve notice or other notice to Transfer Agent except in conformance with their rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designations and other Transaction Documents.

 

(bb) Compliance. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Company will adopt a Code of Ethics that is materially compliant with the requirements of either the NYSE American or the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company and its Subsidiaries will also adopt policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate any risk that employees and contractors working for the Company, and patients participating in studies for the Company or any Subsidiary, do not engage in and are not subjected to sexual harassment or a hostile environment, and that all applicable workplace and professional laws and regulations are adhered to.

 

5. REGISTER.

 

The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Preferred Shares in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the number of Preferred Shares held by such Person and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Purchaser or its legal representatives.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that an e-mail signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not an e-mail signature.

 

(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

 

38

 

 

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Purchasers, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Purchaser makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Purchasers or holders of Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Preferred Shares or holders of Warrants, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Purchasers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Purchaser has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

 

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by e-mail (provided confirmation of transmission is electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Trading Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and email addresses for such communications shall be as previously provided or to such other address and/or email address and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s email containing the time, date, recipient e-mail and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by e-mail or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

 

39

 

 

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Neither party shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Certificate of Designations and the Warrants).

 

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k).

 

(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder shall survive the Closing and the delivery, conversion and/or exercise of the Securities, as applicable. Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k) Indemnification.

 

(i) In consideration of each Purchaser’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(h), or (iv) the status of such Purchaser or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

 

40

 

 

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel selected to defend the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Required Holders. The Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee that relates to such action or Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. No Indemnitee shall enter into any settlement of any action or proceeding subject to this Section 9(k) without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

41

 

 

(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

 

(iv) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (x) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and (y) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

(l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

(m) Remedies. Each Purchaser and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each party recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the the other parties. The parties therefore agree that any party shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

 

(n) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(o) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchasers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Purchasers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
