Article 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER

The Issuer represents and warrants to the Investor that the statements contained in this Article 2 are true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date, which shall be made as of such date):

2.1            Organization and Good Standing. The Issuer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and described in the SEC Reports (as defined below) and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification.

2.2            Capitalization. The Issuer’s disclosure of its authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock in the SEC Reports containing such disclosure was accurate in all material respects as of the date indicated in such SEC Reports and there have been no material changes to the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Issuer since the date of the most recent SEC Report containing such disclosure. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Issuer were issued in violation of any preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Issuer which have not been waived, and such shares were issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable state and federal securities law and any rights of third parties. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding rights (including, without limitation, pre-emptive rights), warrants or options to acquire, or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for, any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of any kind relating to the issuance of any capital stock of the Issuer or any such subsidiary, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any such rights, warrants or options; the capital stock of the Issuer conforms in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the SEC Reports; and all the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each subsidiary owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer have been duly and validly authorized and issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (except, in the case of any foreign subsidiary, for directors’ qualifying shares) and are owned directly or indirectly by the Issuer, free and clear of any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any other claim of any third party.

2.3            Authorization and Validity of this Agreement. The Issuer has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Shares, have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action of the Issuer, its officers, directors and stockholders (none of which actions have been modified or rescinded, and all of which actions are in full force and effect). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Issuer and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Investor of this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Investor, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited or otherwise affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and/or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.4            Title to Shares; Conversion Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized and upon payment by the Investor of the Purchase Price and delivery by the Issuer of the Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Investor will acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, charges, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than any restrictions created by the Investor or any restrictions created by federal or state securities laws). The issuance and delivery of the Shares does not (a) obligate the Issuer to offer to issue, or issue, shares of Preferred Stock or other securities to any person pursuant to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, rights of participation or similar rights, or (b) result in any adjustment (automatic, at the election of any person or otherwise) of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under, or any other anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to, any outstanding securities of the Issuer.

2.5            Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Issuer, the performance by the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, and the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated hereby do not, and will not as of the Closing, conflict with, contravene, result in a violation or breach of or default under (with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both), permit any party to terminate, amend or accelerate the provisions of, or result in the imposition of any claim, lien, pledge, deed of trust, option, charge, security interest, hypothecation, encumbrance, right of first offer, voting trust, proxy, right of third parties or other restriction or limitation of any nature whatsoever (each, a “Lien”), or any obligation to create any Lien, upon any of the properties or assets of the Issuer under (i) any contract, agreement, indenture, letter of credit, mortgage, security agreement, pledge agreement, deed of trust, bond, note, guarantee, surety obligation, warranty, license, franchise, permit, power of attorney, lease, instrument or other agreement (each, a “Contract”) to which the Issuer is a party or by which any of its property or assets may be bound, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the assets, business, results of operation or financial operations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prevents, impairs, delays or impedes the legal authority of the Issuer to enter into and timely perform in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or (ii) any provision of the organizational documents of the Issuer.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”), the Holders of Shares then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all Shares held by such Holder. If any portion of the Liquidation Value is paid in a form of consideration other than cash, then such consideration shall be valued at fair market value as determined by the Board in good faith.

6.2            Insufficient Assets. If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the Holders the full preferential amount to which they are entitled under Section 6.1, (a) the Holders shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all amounts payable on or with respect to such Shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof.

6.3            Notice Requirement.

Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash, and property to be received by the Holders upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each Holder of such material change.

7.            No Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by the DGCL,the Holders shall have no voting rights.

8.            Right to Convert. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, at any time and from time to time on or after the Permitted Conversion Date, any Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding whole Shares held by such Holder into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of Shares (including any fraction of a Share) to be converted by the Liquidation Value thereof, and then (ii) dividing the result by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion, with cash being paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 8.1(c).

9

 

8.1            Procedures for Conversion; Effect of Conversion.

(a)            Procedures for Holder Conversion. In order to effectuate a conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 8, a Holder shall (a) provide the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) and (b) surrender the Shares being converted, along with Notice of Conversion, to the Corporation. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of Shares owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of Shares to be converted, the Liquidation Value of the Shares to be converted, the applicable Conversion Price, the number of Shares owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the address or DWAC instructions for delivery. The conversion of such Shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date that the Holder has both provided a duly completed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation and surrendered the Shares to be converted (the “Series A Conversion Date”). Upon the receipt by the Corporation of the Notice of Conversion and the surrender of such Shares, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter) deliver to the relevant Holder the number of whole shares of Common Stock through the facilities of the DTC (or, if unavailable in the opinion of counsel to the Company, in book-entry format) to which such Holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable Shares as calculated pursuant to Section 8 with cash being paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 8.1(c). All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges, and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

(b)            Effect of Conversion. All Shares converted as provided in this Section 8.1 shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the Series A Conversion Date and all rights with respect to such Shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of the Series A Conversion Date, other than the right of the Holder to receive shares of Common Stock and payment in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock in exchange therefor.

(c)            Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares. As to any fraction of a share of Common stock that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon conversion of Shares, the Corporation shall promptly after the Series A Conversion Date pay to such Holder an amount in cash (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) equal to the product of (i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the Market Price of one share of Common Stock on the Series A Conversion Date.

8.2            Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times when any Share is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of any of its capital stock in any manner which would prevent the timely conversion of the Shares.

10

 

8.3            No Charge or Payment. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Shares pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost, or tax to, the Holder in respect thereof.

8.4            Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 8, the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8.4.

(a)            Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares upon Dividend, Subdivision, or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution, or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split, or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8.4(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision, or combination becomes effective.

(b)            Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, or Merger. In the event of any (i) capital reorganization of the Corporation, (ii) reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 8.4(a)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Share of Series A Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such Share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Corporation or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such Share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction if the Share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such Share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to such Holder’s rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 8 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Series A Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. The provisions of this Section 8.4(b) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, or similar transactions. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designation, the obligation to deliver to the Holders such shares of stock, securities, or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), each Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 8 hereunder, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 8.4(b) with respect to such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock.

(c)            Certificate as to Adjustment.

(i)            As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) Trading Days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each Holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

12

 

(ii)            As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any Holder, but in any event not later than five (5) Trading Days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities, or assets then issuable to such Holder upon conversion of the Shares.

(d)            Notices. In the event:

(i)            that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

(ii)            of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person; or

(iii)            of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Corporation;

then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall, unless a Holder is also a holder of Common Stock, send or cause to be sent to each Holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock at the address specified for such Holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such Holder) at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the record date for such dividend, distribution, or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution, or other right or action, or (B) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares.

9.            Reissuance of Series A Preferred Stock. Any Shares redeemed, converted, or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be canceled and retired as authorized and issued shares of capital stock of the Corporation and no such Shares shall thereafter be reissued, sold, or transferred.

10.            Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the fifth day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent (a) if to the Corporation, its principal executive offices and (b) if to a Holder, such Holder’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a Holder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 10).

11.            Amendment and Waiver. No provision of this Certificate of Designation may be amended, modified, or waived except by an instrument in writing executed by the Corporation and the Holders of not less than two-thirds of the then total outstanding Shares, and any such written amendment, modification, or waiver will be binding upon the Corporation and each Holder.
