Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On December 29, 2009, Osteologix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Nordic Biotech Opportunity Fund K/S, an affiliate of Nordic Biotech K/S, the Company’s largest shareholder (collectively, “Nordic”) for the sale (the “Offering”) of 1,992,448 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000, or approximately $0.5019 per share, the 10 day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the end of trading on December 28, 2009. Under the Purchase Agreement, for as long as Nordic is the beneficial owner of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may not exceed seven persons, and Nordic will have the right to cause the appointment of up to three members of the Board (the “Nordic Board Rights”).
The terms and conditions of the Offering were approved by an offering committee comprised of three independent directors which was formed by the Board in connection with the Offering.
The Company expects the Offering to close on or about January 7, 2010, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement shall terminate on January 22, 2010 if the Offering has not closed by such date. The Offering is exempt from registration pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(2) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Regulation D under the Act.
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement dated as of December 29, 2009, with Nordic (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Nordic has the right at any time after six months following the closing date of the Offering to cause the Company prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by Nordic, subject to certain limitations. The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify Nordic under the registration statements from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses (excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees of Nordic) incident to the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.
In addition, the Company agreed to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock of the Company from 1,000,000 to 0, decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 100,000,000 to 38,072,737 and provide for the Nordic Board Rights described above (the “Charter Amendment”). The Charter Amendment was approved by the Board on December 29, 2009 and by written consent of Nordic, the holder of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, dated December 29, 2009. The Company expects the Charter Amendment to become effective following the filing of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the expiration of all required waiting periods.
The foregoing description of the Offering is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The securities sold and issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
Item 3.02    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information called for by this item is contained in Item 1.01, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) On December 29, 2009, in connection with the Offering, Christian Hansen, Florian Schönharting and Christopher B. Wood resigned from the Board.

 

2


 

(d) Following the resignations of Messrs. Hansen, Schönharting and Wood, on December 29, 2009, the Board, upon the request of Nordic, elected John M. Barberich as a director, effective immediately. The Board also appointed Mr. Barberich to serve as the Chairman of Board and fixed the size of the Board at five members.
Mr. Barberich has been a consultant to biotech related companies since 2003 and since September 2005 has been a Financial Advisor to Nordic Biotech Advisors ApS, a firm which provides investment advisory services to Nordic Biotech K/S and Nordic Biotech Opportunity Fund, security holders in the Company. Prior to 2003, Mr. Barberich served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of three biopharmaceutical companies: Omrix Biopharmaceuticals (now part of Johnson & Johnson), Scriptgen Pharmaceuticals (now known as Anadys Pharmaceuticals) (NASDAQ: ANDS) and ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD).
Mr. Barberich will be entitled to receive cash compensation and receive grants of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for his service as a director, Chairman of the Board and for serving on any Board committees to which he may be appointed, as determined by the Board or its compensation committee from time-to-time.

(e) In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, such Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement.
(f) Such Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, in connection with the Offering and is not subscribing for Shares and did not become aware of the Offering through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to such Purchaser.

(h) Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities similar to the Shares so as to enable such Purchaser to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
(i) Such Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, officers or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations as to an investment in the Shares and such Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own advisors.
(j) Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares solely for such Purchaser’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale, assignment or distribution thereof, in whole or in part in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Such Purchaser has no agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, with any person to sell or transfer all or any part of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any state securities laws and such Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. Such Purchaser will not engage in hedging transactions with respect to the Shares unless in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(k) Such Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Shares indefinitely because none of the Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Subject to the terms hereunder, legends shall be placed on the Shares to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock books.

(l) Such Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.
(m) Such Purchaser (i) meets the requirements of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” because such Purchaser is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, other entity or similar business trust, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, with total assets excess of $5,000,000 or (ii) is a “non-US Person” that is a “qualified investor” as defined in the European Union Prospective Directive. Such Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Shares that renders the representation made in the immediately preceding sentence. Such Purchaser represents to the Company that any information which the undersigned has heretofore furnished under this Section 4(m) or furnishes to the Company pursuant to this Section 4(m) is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering.
(n) Such Purchaser represents that it is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, and that (A) such Purchaser was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares, (B) such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of law or the charter or other organizational documents of such Purchaser, (D) such Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Shares, (E) the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action of such Purchaser, (F) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and general principles of equity and (G) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which such Purchaser is a party or by which such Purchaser is bound.
(o) Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, has a sufficient net worth to sustain a complete loss of such investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. Such Purchaser’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of its net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive.

Such Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of such Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from such Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. Such Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to such Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of such Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

(2) Each of the Purchasers agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 6(a), of a legend on any of the Shares in the following form:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.

The Company agrees that following the time when a legend is no longer required under this Section 6(a)(3), it will, no later than five (5) trading days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s transferee, as applicable, a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to effect a removal of a restrictive legend to the extent such legend is required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act, including any rule of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and judicial interpretations thereof.

 

14


 

(4) Each of the Purchasers agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Shares as set forth in this Section 6(a)(3)(i) or (ii) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will sell any Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.
(b) Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns any Shares, the Company covenants to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. If the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to such Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for such Purchaser to sell the Shares under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell such Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
(c) Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to registration under the Investment Company Act.
(d) Disclosure; Publicity. No Purchaser shall issue any press release or otherwise make any such public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the Company, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case such Purchaser shall promptly provide the Company with prior written notice of such public statement or communication. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of such Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide such Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under sub clause (i) or (ii).
(e) Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(e), the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or (ii) any action instituted against any Purchasers, Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company or other person who is not an Affiliate of any such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representation, warranties or covenants under this Agreement or any agreements or

The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (I) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (II) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement.

If any action shall be brought against any Company Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Company Party shall promptly notify the applicable Purchaser in writing, and such Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Company Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Company Party except to the extent that (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by such Purchaser in writing; (B) such Purchaser has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such Company Party or (C) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of such Purchaser and the position of such Company Party. No Purchaser will be liable to any Company Party under this Agreement (I) for any settlement by a Company Party effected without such Purchaser’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; or (II) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Company Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement.

2. Registration.
(a) Initial Registration Statement. Promptly following the closing of the purchase and sale of the securities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), and subject to the purchase and sale of Shares in the Offering by Persons other than Affiliated Holder with an aggregate purchase price of at least $1,000,000, but in any event no later than ten (10) days after the deadline for filing the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 3, 2008 with the SEC (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale by the Purchasers of all Registrable Securities then held by the Purchasers. Such Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or Form S-3, as available (the “Registration Statement”), or other appropriate form in accordance herewith and shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A (except as otherwise directed by the Purchasers). Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any holder without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, except for shares of Common Stock held by the Company’s stockholders (other than the Affiliated Holder) having “piggyback” registration rights expressly set forth in registration rights agreements entered into by the Company prior to the date hereof. A copy of the initial filing of the Registration Statement (and each pre-effective amendment thereto) shall be provided to the Purchasers and their counsel at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing. If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline (or if it is filed without giving the Purchasers the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required above, the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied such filing requirement), then in addition to any other rights each Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company will pay (i) an amount in cash to each Purchaser other than the Affiliated Holder, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement up to a maximum amount of all liquidated damages payable under this Agreement to any Purchaser of 10% of the purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) for each thirty- (30) day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the Filing Deadline for which the Registration Statement has not been filed or reviewed pursuant to the terms hereof, an amount in cash to each Purchaser other than the Affiliated Holder, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement up to a maximum amount of all liquidated damages payable under this Agreement to any Purchaser of 10% of the purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The amounts payable as partial liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid within three (3) Business Days of the Filing Deadline and monthly thereafter within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Filing Deadline until the Registration Statement has been reviewed by the Purchasers and filed with the SEC as required herein. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this section in full within seven (7) calendar days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such payments are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Payments to be made pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the review and filing of the Registration Statement required herein. All payments shall be in immediately available cash funds. In all cases, regardless of whether a Registration Statement has been declared effective, no liquidated damages shall accrue or be payable with respect to securities that are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume limitations.

(b) Registration by the Affiliated Holder. At any time after the earlier of the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date and thirty (30) days after the date of effectiveness of any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 2(a) herein, each Affiliated Holder may request, no more than one time, that the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, a Registration Statement covering the resale by such Affiliated Holder of all Registrable Securities then held by such Affiliated Holder. Promptly following any such request but no later than thirty (30) Business Days after such request, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale by such Affiliated Purchaser of all Registrable Securities then held by such Affiliated Purchaser; provided, that the Company shall not be required to file any Registration Statement under this Section 2(b) if the filing of such Registration Statement would cause the Company to file financial statements in advance of the date that the Company would have otherwise been required to file such financial statements under the Exchange Act. Such Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or Form S-3, as available, or other appropriate form in accordance herewith and shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto as Exhibit A (except as otherwise directed by such Affiliated Holder). Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any holder without the prior written consent of the Affiliated Purchaser that requested such Registration Statement under this Section 2(b). A copy of the initial filing of the Registration Statement (and each pre-effective amendment thereto) shall be provided to the Affiliated Purchaser and their counsel at least three (3) Business Days prior to filing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that any such registration would be materially detrimental to the Company, the Company may defer such registration for no more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period. Further, notwithstanding any other agreement between an Affiliated Holder and the Company, each Affiliated Holder agrees that it will not elect to cause the Company to register any other securities held by such Affiliated Holder for resale prior to the date set forth in this Section 2(b).
(c) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one counsel to all Major Purchasers (which fees and expenses shall not exceed $15,000) and the Major Purchasers’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

(d) Additional Registration Statements. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 or requires any Purchaser in connection with a Registration Statement filed under Section 2(a) or the Affiliated Holder in connection with a Registration Statement filed under Section 2(b) to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that none of the Purchasers or the Affiliated Holder, as the case may be, is an “underwriter.” The Purchasers or the Affiliated Holder, as applicable, shall have the right to participate or have their counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have their counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Purchasers’ or Affiliated Holder’s counsel, as applicable, reasonably objects, which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Company and its counsel. In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(d), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Purchaser or the Affiliated Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Purchaser or the Affiliated Holder (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”). Any cut-back imposed on the Purchasers or the Affiliated Holder pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide and unless otherwise directed in writing by a Purchaser or the Affiliated Holder as to its Registrable Securities, will be applied as follows: (i) first, to Registrable Securities represented by the Shares held by the Affiliated Holder (applied, in the case that some of such shares of Common Stock may be registered, to the Affiliated Holder(s) on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by any Affiliated Holder); and second, to Registrable Securities represented by the Shares held by Purchasers (applied, in the case that some of such shares of Common Stock may be registered, to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by any Purchaser). No liquidated damages shall accrue on or as to any Cut Back Shares until such time as the Company is able to effect the registration of the Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”). From and after the Restriction Termination Date, all of the provisions of this Section 2 (including the liquidated damages provisions) shall again be applicable to the Cut Back Shares; provided, however, that for such purposes, the Filing Deadline with respect to any such Cut Back Shares shall be the 45th day following the Restriction Termination Date.
(e) Effectiveness.
(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement(s) to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable (including filing with the SEC a request for acceleration of its effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be

reviewed, or not be subject to further review), with respect to the initial Registration Statement(s) filed pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 2(b) hereof, but in any event no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after filing. The Company shall notify the Purchasers or the applicable Affiliated Holder by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Purchasers or the applicable Affiliated Holder with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A) (i) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of five (5) Business Days after the staff of the SEC shall have informed the Company (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed by the staff of the SEC or not be subject to further review or (ii) one hundred and twenty (120) days after filing, other than as a result of limitations imposed by the SEC or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of any Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions and except as excused pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii) below, then, until the shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144, in addition to any other rights each Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company will pay (i) an amount in cash to each Purchaser other than the Affiliated Holder, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement up to a maximum amount of all liquidated damages payable under this Agreement to any Purchaser of 10% of the purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) for each thirty- (30) day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the occurrence of an event set forth in any of (A) or (B) above an amount in cash to each Purchaser other than the Affiliated Holder, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement up to a maximum amount of all liquidated damages payable under this Agreement to any Purchaser of 10% of the purchase price paid for Registrable Securities by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The amounts payable as partial liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence of an event set forth in any of (A) or (B) above and monthly thereafter within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the occurrence of an event set forth in any of (A) or (B) above until such events are cured. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such payments are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Such payments shall be made to each Purchaser in immediately available cash funds. For purposes of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, except in the case of any Purchasers who elect in writing not to have its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement, no Registration Statement shall be considered “effective” with respect to any Registrable Securities unless such Registration Statement lists the Purchasers of such Registrable Securities as “Selling Stockholders” and includes such other information as is required to be disclosed with respect to such Purchasers to permit them to sell all of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(ii) The Holders hereby acknowledge that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the Prospectus until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC or until the Company has amended or supplemented such Prospectus. Each Holder hereby covenants that it will not sell any securities pursuant to the Prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives such Holder notice of the suspension of the use of the Prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives such Holder notice that such Holder may thereafter effect sales pursuant to the Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not suspend use of the Registration Statement by any Holder unless in the good faith determination of the Company such suspension is required by the federal securities laws, including without limitation, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that (i) except as otherwise provided by clause (ii) below, in the event that such suspension is required by the need for an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company shall promptly file such required amendments or supplements as shall be necessary for the disposition of the Registrable Securities to recommence and (ii) if the Board of Directors has determined in good faith that offers and sales pursuant to the Prospectus should not be made by reason of the presence of material undisclosed circumstances or developments with respect to which the disclosure that would be required in the Registration Statement would be premature or would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its business, the Company may suspend the use of the Prospectus and defer the filing of any required amendment or supplement for the minimum period of time necessary to avoid such material adverse effect (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, further, that in the case of clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to block such sales or suspend use of the Prospectus more than three times (not to exceed thirty (30) days each) during the effectiveness of the Registration Statement nor more than a total of thirty (30) days in any twelve (12)-month period.
3. Company Obligations. The Company will use all reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible (but subject to Section 2(e)(ii)):
(a) use all reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and, to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold; and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Purchasers in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;
(b) (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably practicable, upon request, provide the Purchasers true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to such Registration Statement; and (iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

 

7


 

(c) Use all reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;
(d) prior to any resale of Registrable Securities, use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Holders and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(d) or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use all reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market (including the OTC-BB) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or traded;
(f) promptly notify the Purchasers and/or the applicable Affiliated Holder, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including during any period when the Company is in compliance with Rule 172), upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare, file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 172 and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) promptly notify the Purchasers and/or the applicable Affiliated Holder (i) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of each Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein;

(h) with a view to making available to the Purchasers and the Affiliated Holder the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Purchasers or the Affiliated Holder to sell shares of Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act (whether or not such reports and other documents are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); and (iii) furnish to each Purchaser and Affiliated Holder upon request, as long as such Purchaser or Affiliated Holder owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and (B) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Purchaser or Affiliated Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration; and
(i) the Company represents and warrants that (A) since December 31, 2008 through the date of this Agreement, it has filed with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (B) neither the Company nor any of its consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries have, since the end of the last fiscal year for which certified financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiary were included in a report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act through the date of this Agreement: (1) failed to pay any dividend or sinking fund installment on preferred stock; or (2) defaulted (x) on any installment or installments on indebtedness for borrowed money, or (y) on any rental on one or more long term leases, which defaults in the aggregate are material to the financial position of the Company and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
4. Information. The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Purchasers, or to advisors to or representatives of the Purchasers, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Purchasers, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Purchaser wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto. The Purchasers and the Affiliated Holder agree and acknowledge that their access to documents in connection with any review by the SEC of a Registration Statement, and their participation in any related meetings or discussion with the Company or the SEC in connection therewith in accordance with Section 2(d) may expose them to material nonpublic information and that the Company will request the execution of appropriate confidentiality agreements as a condition to providing any such access to any Purchaser or Affiliated Holder.

5. Obligations of the Holders.
(a) Each Holder shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from such Holder if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. A Holder shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(e)(ii), or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(f) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Holder is advised by the Company that a supplemented or amended prospectus has been filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its officers, directors, members, partners, employees, attorneys and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or

 

10


 

its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on a Holder’s behalf and will reimburse such Holder, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use therein; (ii) the failure of the Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5 hereof and Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement respecting the sale of the Shares; (iii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Holder herein; or (iv) the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder that the Prospectus is outdated or defective.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto and will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof). In no event shall the liability of a Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written legal opinion of its counsel satisfactory to the

 

11


 

indemnifying party, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only by a writing signed by the Company, the Major Purchasers and the Affiliated Purchasers.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made as set forth in Section 10 of the Purchase Agreement.
(c) Assignments and Transfers by Holders. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Holders and their respective successors and assigns. A Holder may transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more persons its rights hereunder in connection with the transfer of Registrable Securities by such Holder to such person; provided, that (i) such Holder complies with all laws applicable thereto and provides written notice of assignment to the Company promptly after such assignment is effected and (ii) the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.

 

12


 

(d) Assignments and Transfers by the Company. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Company (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders; provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any surviving or successor corporation in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation, or a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders and the Affiliated Holder, after notice duly given by the Company to each Holder.
(e) Benefits of the Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(f) Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via e-mail or facsimile, which shall be deemed an original.
(g) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
(h) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
(i) Further Assurances. The parties shall execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents and take all such other actions as may reasonably be required to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and to evidence the fulfillment of the agreements herein contained.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

 

13


 

(k) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO REQUEST A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENTS THAT COUNSEL HAS BEEN CONSULTED SPECIFICALLY AS TO THIS WAIVER.
(l) Obligations of Holders. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Holder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement. The decision of each Holder to enter into to this Agreement has been made by such Holder independently of any other Holder. The Company further acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
Each Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and Agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holders. The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to this Agreement in no way creates a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

EXHIBIT A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus are being offered by selling stockholders and their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest. The common stock may be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of on any stock exchange, the OTC Bulletin Board or any other market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
    through brokers, dealers or underwriters who may act solely as agents;
 
    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
    privately negotiated transactions;
 
    short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
 
    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
    broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or
 
    a combination of any such methods of sale.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

A-1


 

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the common stock as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agents. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary concessions, but except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups that, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%). At the time a particular offer of shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters or dealers, any compensation from the selling stockholders and any other required information. Neither we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders, any other stockholders, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of our common stock.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
Any selling stockholder who is a registered broker-dealer will be deemed to be an underwriter. Each of [                                          ] and [                                           ] are broker dealers or broker dealer affiliates. Each of [                                          ] and [                                          ] and entities associated with or controlled by these entities are underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the sale of securities under this prospectus. In addition, each of the other selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. See “Selling Stockholders.” Any profits on the sale of the common stock sold under this prospectus by selling stockholders who are or who are deemed to be underwriters, and any discount, commissions or agent’s commissions received by such selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholders are or may be deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders will be subject to prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. Underwriters are subject to certain statutory liabilities, including but not limited to, Section 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act. We are also required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incidental to the registration of the shares of common stock.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We intend to make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without volume limitations pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

About Osteologix
Osteologix is a specialty pharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies for the treatment and prevention of diseases of bone and joint tissues. Its lead product candidate, NB S101, is a novel pharmaceutical agent for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Osteologix has completed a Phase II clinical trial of NB S101 that demonstrated the ability of NB S101 to reduce markers of bone resorption and increase bone mineral density and also included a comparison of NB S101 (strontium malonate) to Proteolos (strontium renalate) marketed by Les Labortories Servier. Osteologix’s strategy is to develop its once-daily strontium tablet for the osteoporosis market by entering into Development and Marketing partnerships with regional or global pharmaceutical companies. The Company currently believes that they should be able to obtain regulatory approval and launch the product in Europe in early 2012, and on a later date in the United States and Japan.
