(1)                                  Represents the estimated maximum number of shares of common stock to which one of the selling shareholders, Laurus Master Funds, Ltd. (“Laurus”), may be entitled upon conversion of the $1,000,000 secured convertible minimum borrowing note issued by us to Laurus on June 23, 2005.  The initial conversion price of the convertible note is $0.65 per share, but is subject to adjustment to the extent the price at which we issue shares of our common stock to a person other than Laurus is less than the then current conversion price of the convertible note.  Accordingly, the 2,500,000 shares being registered include 1,538,461 shares at the initial fixed conversion price, plus additional shares in the event of any price adjustments.  Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional securities that may be issuable from time to time in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction.

 

(2)                                  Represents shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of a warrant granted to Laurus in connection with the issuance of the convertible note.

 

(3)                                  Represents the estimated maximum number of shares of common stock to which one of the selling shareholders, Oberon Securities, LLC (“Oberon”), may be entitled in connection with certain fees due by us to Oberon.

 

(4)                                  Represents shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of warrants granted to Oberon.

 

(5)                                  Pursuant to Rule 457(c), and solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum offering price per share is calculated based upon the average of the high and low prices of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board as of July 15, 2005.

 

(6)                                  Pursuant to Rule 457(g), and solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum offering price per share is calculated based upon the highest price at which the warrants may be exercised.

 

THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8(A) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNTIL THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SAID SECTION 8(A), MAY DETERMINE.

TIME AMERICA, INC.

 

Overview of Our Business

 

Time America, Inc. was organized in 1988 as a Nevada corporation under the name Richard Barrie Fragrances, Inc. Since our formation we have undergone a number of changes to our corporate name and to the nature of the business we conduct. We entered the time and attendance industry in 1999 when we acquired the outstanding capital stock of Vitrix Incorporated, a privately held Arizona corporation formed in 1996, which became our only operating subsidiary. In 2001, we acquired Time America, Inc. through the merger of that entity into our subsidiary Vitrix Incorporated. In 2003, we changed our name from Vitrix, Inc. to Time America, Inc. to capitalize on the then 13-year history and name recognition of Time America in the time and attendance industry.

 

We develop, manufacture and market a line of time and labor management software and hardware products which are designed to improve productivity by automating time and attendance, workforce scheduling and management of labor resources. Our product solutions are designed for use by a broad range of businesses, from small single location companies with only a few employees to enterprise level companies with multiple sites and thousands of employees.

 

Our products are internally developed, proprietary software applications that maintain and automate the process of collecting timesheet information, provide interfaces to popular payroll software solutions and enable users to generate a variety of reports that aid in the tracking and analyzing of how employees utilize their work time. Our product solutions use a variety of technologies, including products that are delivered through a 100% Web-based application service provider model, as well as client/server and
PC-based applications. Our current products include:

 

                                          NETtime—is a 100% Web-based service deliverable to users through both a licensed and application service provider model.

 

                                          HourTrack—is a powerful workforce management solution that combines client/server software with a wide range of data collection devices designed to automate the process of tracking, managing, auditing, and reporting employee time and attendance.

 

                                          GENESIS SQL—is an enterprise level software that helps clients optimize productivity and more effectively manage their bottom line by automating not only time and attendance, but job costing, benefit administration, employee review processing, access control, bell ringing and data collection needs.

 

                                          TA50 PRO—is a simple to use yet powerful time and attendance solution designed for companies with fewer than 200 employees. It enables users to automate their timekeeping and attendance tracking with built-in setup wizards and simplified daily operations.

 

                                          TA50XL—is also a simple to use time and attendance solution that includes the software features of TA50 PRO and an XL data terminal and accessories in a cost-effective package.

 

                                          TA100 PRO—is a time and attendance solution designed for companies with fewer than 500 employees. This product allows users to automatically calculate employee time and wages using the client’s specific payroll policies.

                                          GENESIS PRO—is an enterprise level PC-based software application that has the same feature set as GENESIS SQL.

 

We market our products to companies in the U.S. and abroad through our direct sales and support organization and through Business Alliance and Reseller Program. Our direct sales and reseller sales efforts accounted for approximately 45% and 55%, respectively, of our total revenues for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005.

 

Market Opportunity

 

We believe the market for time and labor management software and hardware products is large and growing. There are currently no definitive figures on the market size of the time and attendance market.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We have a long history of providing high quality time and labor management products to our targeted markets. Our goal is to maintain and strengthen our market position. We intend to pursue the following growth strategies to attain this goal:

 

                                          Expand Direct Sales Organization. We have recently added a Vice-President of Direct Sales and plan to add additional direct sales personnel to bolster our direct sales efforts.

 

                                          Leveraged Distribution. We plan to continue to sign strategic partners to enable us to do rapid and wide-scale private label distribution of our products.

 

                                          Introduction of New Technologies. The Company will continue to introduce and expand into new technologies that will differentiate us from our competitors.

 

                                          Expand through Mergers and Acquisitions. The Company plans to enter into mergers and acquisitions with target companies that provide complimentary products, markets or distributions channels to the Company.

 

Recent Developments

 

On June 23, 2005, we entered into agreements with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd, a Cayman Islands corporation, or “Laurus”, pursuant to which we issued convertible debt and a warrant to purchase common stock to Laurus in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities issued to Laurus include the following:

 

                  A Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note with a principal amount of $1,000,000, convertible into our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.65 per share;

 

                  A Secured Revolving Note with a principal amount not to exceed $1,500,000; and

 

                  A common stock purchase warrant, exercisable for a period of seven years, to purchase 210,000 shares of common stock, at exercise prices of $0.72 per share for the first 150,000 shares, $0.75 per share for the next 30,000 shares, and $0.78 per share for any additional shares.

 

We are permitted to borrow an amount based upon our eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreements with Laurus, not to exceed an aggregate of $1,500,000.  Our obligations under the notes are secured by all of the assets of Time America, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Time America, Inc., an Arizona corporation, including but not limited to inventory and accounts receivable. The notes mature on June 23, 2008. Annual interest on the notes is equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time.  Interest on the notes is payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month, commencing on July 1, 2005.

The principal amount of the secured convertible minimum borrowing note, together with accrued interest thereon is payable on June 23, 2008. The secured convertible minimum borrowing note may be redeemed by us in cash by paying the holder 115% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The holder of the term note may require us to convert all or a portion of the term note, together with interest and fees thereon, into fully paid shares of our common stock at any time. The number of shares to be issued shall equal the total amount of debt to be converted, divided by the initial fixed conversion price of $0.65.

 

Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the notes will be reduced accordingly. The conversion price of the secured convertible minimum borrowing notes may also be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution.

 

In the event of default, 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the note plus accrued but unpaid interest is due.  Laurus has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the convertible minimum borrowing notes if it would exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder or issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the option held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

We are obligated to file a registration statement registering the resale of shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible minimum borrowing notes and exercise of the warrants.  If the registration statement is not filed by July 23, 2005, and declared effective within 90 days thereafter, or if the registration is suspended other than as permitted in the registration rights agreement between us and Laurus, we are obligated to pay Laurus certain fees.

 

We paid a fee at closing to Laurus Capital Management LLC, the manager of Laurus Master Funds, Ltd., equal to 3.60% of the total maximum funds to be borrowed under the Company’s agreements with Laurus.

 

Pursuant to agreements with Oberon Securities, LLC (“Oberon”) relating to our financing transactions with Laurus, we are registering 450,066 shares of common stock to be resold by Oberon, a selling shareholder listed in this prospectus, which represent up to 140,625 shares issuable in payment of certain fees due by us to Oberon, shares underlying a three-year warrant, issued March 22, 2004, to purchase 136,364 shares at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, and shares underlying a three-year warrant, issued June 23, 2005, to purchase 173,077 shares at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 8840 East Chaparral Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85250.  Our telephone number is (480) 296-0400.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a significant degree of risk and you should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose some or even all of your investment. You should consider these risk factors together with all the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock.

 

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND MAY NEVER GENERATE SUSTAINED OPERATING INCOME FROM THE SALE OF OUR TIME AND ATTENDANCE PRODUCTS.

 

As of March 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,768,145. In addition, we have reported net income in only one fiscal quarter over the past six fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, and through March 31, 2005.  No assurance can be made that we will ever be able to generate sustained operating income from the sale of our time and attendance products.

 

We believe that our future profitability and success will depend in large part on our ability to generate revenue from the sale of our products. Our profitability and success will depend on:

 

                                          our ability to generate sufficient sales volume.

 

                                          our ability to maintain existing reseller relationships and our ability to enter into new relationships.

 

WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IN ORDER TO GROW OUR BUSINESS, WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US WHEN WE NEED THEM OR, IF AVAILABLE, ON TERMS THAT ARE ACCEPTABLE TO US.

 

The growth of our business could require us to expend funds in excess of the cash generated by our operations. We may need to raise additional funds in the future in order to fund more rapid expansion; to develop new and enhanced products; to increase Customer support or technical staff; to respond to competitive pressures; and to acquire complimentary businesses, technologies, or services. We cannot predict the timing and amount of any such capital requirements at this time. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, existing shareholders may experience additional dilution and such securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the rights of our common shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund expansion, promote our products, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance products and services, or respond to competitive pressures.

 

We may wish to acquire complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies in the future. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or make acquisitions on commercially acceptable terms. We may have difficulty integrating an acquired company’s personnel, operations, products, services, or technologies into our operations. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses, and adversely affect our business.

 

ANY INCREASE IN COMPETITION IN OUR INDUSTRY COULD MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

 

The market for software solutions is constantly evolving and extremely competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future. We compete with major domestic companies. Many of these competitors have greater market recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we have, and we may be unable to compete effectively against them. Emerging companies also may increase their participation in the market for software applications such as that offered by the Company.

 

6



 

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUALLY IMPROVE OUR PRODUCTS AND DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS THAT WILL HELP US MAINTAIN OUR COMPETITIVENESS IN THE TIME AND ATTENDANCE INDUSTRY.

 

Our success depends in part upon our ability to enhance our existing products and services and to develop new products and services on a timely and cost-effective basis. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully identify new opportunities and develop and bring to market new products and services in a timely and cost-effective manner. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that our products and services will not become obsolete, noncompetitive, or that they will sustain market acceptance.

 

We may not be able to adapt to rapidly changing technologies or we may incur significant costs in doing so. The software industry is characterized by rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product and service introductions, and changing customer demands. New turn-key business solution products and services based on new technologies or new industry standards could render our existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable. To be successful, we must adapt to our rapidly evolving market by continually enhancing our products and services and introducing new products and services to address our users’ changing and increasingly sophisticated requirements. We may use new technologies ineffectively or we may fail to adapt our products and infrastructure to meet customer requirements, competitive pressures, or emerging industry standards. We could incur substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructure. Our business could be materially and adversely affected if we incur significant costs to adapt, or cannot adapt, to these changes.

 

OUR BUSINESS WILL BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN AND CONTINUALLY DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITH AFFILIATES, RESELLERS AND LICENSEES.

 

Our success depends on forming relationships with affiliates, resellers and licensees. The success of our business model depends upon a constant revenue stream generated by a high number of end-users. Our business model contemplates attracting
end-users by forming relationships with affiliates, resellers, and licensees that market our products and services. We believe that it will be less costly and more efficient for us to attract end-users through indirect distribution channels than to attempt to attract the end-users directly. Consequently, we must establish and maintain relationships with resellers and licensees. We may not be able to attract additional affiliates, resellers, or licensees on acceptable terms, or at all. Our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected if we fail to establish and maintain relationships with affiliates, resellers, and licensees on a cost-effective basis.

 

THE CURRENT CAPITALIZATION COULD DELAY, DEFER, OR PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each such series without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, thereby delaying, deferring, or preventing a change of control of the Company.

 

THE LIMITED TRADING VOLUME OF OUR COMMON STOCK, HISTORICAL PRICE VOLATILITY, NUMBER OF SHARES REGISTERED FOR RESALE, AND THE PRICE AT WHICH THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS MAY SELL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO THIS PROSPECTUS, MAY CAUSE DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT AN INVESTOR’S ABILITY TO SELL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FUTURE.

 

The price at which the selling shareholders will sell the shares of common stock described in this prospectus may vary from time to time and will be determined at the time of such sale. The negotiated selling price may represent a discount from our trading price. Any level of discount from the current market price, together with any of the following factors, may cause downward pressure on the price of our common stock and negatively impact your ability to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so:

                                          We are registering for resale an aggregate of 3,160,066 shares of common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus. The ability to freely trade these shares may create downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

 

                                          The trading price of our common stock has been volatile over the past 11 fiscal quarters and may continue to be volatile in the future. During the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the three fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2005, our stock price has ranged from a high of $1.50 per share and a low of $0.15 per share.

 

                                          The average daily trading volume of our common stock over the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 is approximately 8,750 shares.  Any material increase in trading volume resulting from the sale of the shares that are the subject of this prospectus or otherwise could cause downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

 

The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss due to potential illiquidity and the possibility that our common stock may suffer greater declines.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants entitling the selling shareholders to purchase an aggregate of 519,441 shares of our common stock. If all warrants held by the selling shareholders are exercised, we will receive an aggregate of $416,400.  We expect to use any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the warrants for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures and repaying or refinancing of our obligations.

Pursuant to agreements with Oberon in connection with our financing transactions with Laurus, we are registering 450,066 shares of common stock to be resold by Oberon, a selling shareholder listed in this prospectus, which represent shares issuable to Oberon as follows:

 

   Up to 140,625 shares issuable in payment of certain fees due by us to Oberon;

 

   136,364 shares issuable pursuant to a common stock purchase warrant, issued March 22, 2004, exercisable for a period of three years, at an exercise price of $1.10 per share; and

 

   173,077 shares issuable pursuant to a common stock purchase warrant, issued June 23, 2005, exercisable for a period of three years, at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

 

Pursuant to an agreement with Laurus dated June 23, 2005, we are registering 2,710,000 shares of common stock to be resold by Laurus, a selling shareholder listed in this prospectus, to which we issued convertible debt in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities issued to Laurus include the following:

 

   A secured convertible minimum borrowing note with a principal amount of $1,000,000, convertible into our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $0.65 per share;

 

   A secured revolving note with a principal amount not to exceed $1,500,000; and

 

   A common stock purchase warrant, exercisable for a period of seven years, to purchase 210,000 shares of common stock, at exercise prices of $0.72 per share for the first 150,000 shares, $0.75 per share for the next 30,000 shares, and $0.78 per share for any additional shares.

 

We are permitted to borrow an amount based upon our eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreements with Laurus, not to exceed an aggregate of $1,500,000.  Our obligations under the notes are secured by all of the assets of Time America, including but not limited to inventory and accounts receivable. The notes mature on June 23, 2008. Annual interest on the notes is equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time.  Interest on the notes is payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month, commencing on July 1, 2005.

 

The principal amount of the secured convertible minimum borrowing note, together with accrued interest thereon is payable on June 23, 2008. The secured convertible minimum borrowing note may be redeemed by us in cash by paying the holder 115% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The holder of the term note may require us to convert all or a portion of the term note, together with interest and fees thereon, into fully paid shares of our common stock at any time. The number of shares to be issued shall equal the total amount to be converted, divided by an initial fixed conversion price of $0.65.

 

Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the notes will be reduced accordingly. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution.

 

In the event of default, 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the note plus accrued but unpaid interest is due.  Laurus has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the convertible notes if it would exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder or issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the option held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

In this prospectus we are also registering for resale by the selling shareholders an aggregate of 519,441 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to the selling shareholders.  In connection with the financing transaction described in this prospectus, we have issued to Laurus a warrant to purchase 210,000 shares of our common stock.  Laurus may exercise the warrant at any time through June 23, 2012. The first 150,000 shares may be exercised at a price of $.72 per share, the next 30,000 for $.75 per share and any additional shares may be exercised for $.78 per share.  We have also issued three-year warrants to Oberon in connection with our financing transactions with Laurus.  Oberon may exercise one warrant, granted on March 22, 2004, for 136,364 shares at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, and may exercise the other warrant, granted on June 23, 2005, for 173,077 shares at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.

As of July 15, 2005, we have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,042,799 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.15 to $4.30.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Any or all of the shares of common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and at terms than prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. There is no assurance that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the shares of common stock in this offering. The common stock may be sold in one or more of the following types of transactions:

 

(a)                                  a block trade in which a selling shareholder will engage a broker-dealer who will then attempt to sell the common stock, or position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

(b)                                 purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

(c)                                  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange;

 

(d)                                 ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and

 

(e)                                  any combination of the foregoing, or by any other legally available means. In effecting sales,
broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

 

The selling shareholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the common stock, which the broker-dealer may resell or otherwise transfer pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge common stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the common stock so loaned or, upon a default, the broker-dealer may effect sales of the pledged common stock pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Underwriter Status.  Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the common stock covered by this prospectus, may be considered to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act for such sales. An underwriter is a person who has purchased shares from an issuer with a view towards distributing the shares to the public. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be considered to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144

 

10



 

promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold in an unregistered transaction under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Additionally, under applicable rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition to those restrictions, each selling shareholder will be subject to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including, Regulation M and Rule 10b-7, which provisions may limit the timing of the purchases and sales of our securities by the selling shareholders.

 

We have agreed to indemnify Laurus against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the common stock against various liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Penny Stock Rules.  Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules that impose additional sales practice requirements because the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make special suitability determinations for the purchase of our common stock and must have received a purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. The “penny stock” rules also require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. Broker-dealers must also disclose:

 

                                          the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative,

 

                                          current quotations for the securities, and

 

                                          if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.

 

Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

These rules apply to sales by broker-dealers to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse), unless our common stock trades above $5.00 per share. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock, and may affect the ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market as well as the price at which such sales can be made. Also, some brokerage firms will decide not to effect transactions in “penny stocks” and it is unlikely that any bank or financial institution will accept “penny stock” as collateral.

 

Expenses of the Distribution.  We will bear all of the costs and expenses of registering under the Securities Act the sale of securities offered by this prospectus. Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the common stock will be borne by the selling shareholders.

 

State Securities Laws.  In order to comply with the securities laws of various states, if applicable, sales of the common stock made in those states will only be made through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, some states do not allow the securities to be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with by us and the selling shareholders.  We have no obligation to obtain such registrations or qualifications.

 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The table below sets forth information concerning the resale by the selling shareholders of the common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the selling shareholders, but may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants entitling the selling shareholders to purchase an aggregate of 519,441

 

11



 

shares of our common stock. Because the selling shareholders may sell all, a portion or none of their shares, no estimate can be made of the aggregate number of shares that may actually be sold by the selling shareholders or that may be subsequently owned by the selling shareholders.

 

The table below sets forth the name of each selling shareholder who may offer the resale of the common stock by this prospectus, the number of such securities beneficially owned by the selling shareholder, the number of such securities that may be sold in this offering and the number of such securities the selling shareholder will own after the offering, assuming it sells all of the shares offered.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

General

 

Time America, Inc. is a Nevada corporation. We changed our name from Vitrix, Inc. to Time America, Inc. in December 2003. We develop, manufacture and market a line of time and labor management software and hardware products. Our products are designed to improve productivity by automating time and attendance, workforce scheduling and management of labor resources. We target our product solutions at small to mid-sized companies from 25 to 2,000 or more employees. Our solutions are offered in a 100% Web-based application service provider model, client/server, and PC-based applications.

 

The following bullet points provide a timeline and overview of our development and corporate history:

 

              June 6, 1988—Richard Barrie Fragrances, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was formed on this date for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and marketing fragrances, cosmetics, skin treatment and personal care products sold primarily through department and specialty stores and drugstores.

 

12



 

              June 30, 1996—Richard Barrie Fragrances sells substantially all of its properties and rights to Parlux Fragrances, Inc. During the period from this asset sale to April 1999, our operations were limited to conducting administrative activities and discussions with third parties regarding possible business combinations.

 

              July 1, 1996—Following the Asset sale, Richard Barrie Fragrances changes its name to FBR Capital Corporation.

 

              April 15, l999—FBR Capital Corporation acquires the outstanding capital stock of Vitrix Incorporated, a privately held Arizona corporation formed on April 26, 1996, pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, dated as of such date, among FBR Capital Corporation, Vitrix Incorporated and certain of the Vitrix Incorporated shareholders. Vitrix Incorporated becomes a majority owned subsidiary of FBR Capital Corporation as a result of this transaction. FBR Capital Corporation issued an aggregate of 8,592,826 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in consideration for the purchase of Vitrix Incorporated. This transaction resulted in the shareholders of Vitrix Incorporated acquiring approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock of FBR Capital Corporation, assuming conversion of the preferred stock into common stock and excluding outstanding options and warrants. The existing shareholders of FBR Capital Corporation held the remaining 20% of its outstanding common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Vitrix Incorporated and the purchase of FBR capital Corporation by Vitrix Incorporated, since Vitrix Incorporated became the controlling company after the transaction.

 

              October 7, 1999—On this date we changed our name from FBR Capital Corporation to Time America, Inc. in order to associate the name of the parent corporation to our operating subsidiary Vitrix Incorporated.

 

              March 28, 2001—Time America, Inc. acquires Time America in a merger transaction pursuant to which Time America is merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vitrix Incorporated. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. As a condition to the merger, we sought and obtained the approval of our shareholders to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, which occurred on April 5, 2001. We issued 3,147,914 shares of Time America, Inc. common stock, on a post reverse stock split basis, as consideration in the merger, which represented approximately 50% of Vitrix Inc.’s then issued and outstanding capital stock.

 

              April 17, 2001—We changed the name of our wholly-owned subsidiary from Vitrix Incorporated to Time America, Inc. in order to capitalize on Time America’s name recognition gained from its 13 year history in the time and attendance industry.

 

              December 9, 2003—On this date we changed our name from Vitrix, Inc. to Time America, Inc. to further capitalize on Time America’s name recognition described above.

 

Time America, Inc. is a holding corporation. Our operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Time America. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to the company in this report shall include both the Time America, Inc. the parent company, and Time America, Inc. our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Instead of using a badge, an employee clocks in and out by placing his or her hand onto the scanner and awaiting verification. This method eliminates losses due to buddy-punching—the practice of clocking in or out for another employee.

                                          TelePunch—The TelePunch solution allows employees to clock in and out for the day, for jobs, or for departments using any touch-tone telephone. Clients who purchase this solution receive a pre-configured, telephony server from us. This server runs Vitrix’s software, and allows callers to interact with HourTrack from a remote location.

 

                                          eWebClock—eWebClock partially reduces a user’s total time and attendance product investment, by utilizing the Internet to collect employee clock in and out times. By simply logging on to a Web page via the local network or the World Wide Web, employees can clock in and out.

 

                                          PC Time Clock—PC Time Clock, allows employees to clock in and out on a Windows-based computer. This is generally beneficial in office environments where employees each have access to their own desktop computer.

 

                                          Web browser—NBTtime allows clients to access the service through a standard Web browser. The full range of actions, including clocking in and out, transferring jobs and departments, etc., and information (hours worked, schedules, status board, etc.) are available.

 

                                          Web-enabled cell phone—A streamlined version of NETtime is available to clients accessing the service through a text-only browser, such as those operating on cell phones. Essential services such as clocking in and out are available.

 

                                          TCP/IP-enabled hardware—Customers may utilize TCP/IP-enabled hardware devices, such as badge readers, to collect clock in and out data from their employees.

 

                                          Wireless enabled hardware—Allows clients to connect their time clocks to the host system without the hassle of wiring. The wireless units are small, reliable and easy to integrate into any existing system.

 

Services and Support

 

We maintain a professional service and technical support organization, which provides a suite of maintenance and professional services. These services are designed to support Time America customers throughout the life cycle of our products. Our professional services include implementation, training, technical and business technical consulting. Maintenance service options are delivered through our centralized support operation or through local service personnel. Our educational services offer a full range of curriculums, which are delivered through local training at our Scottsdale, Arizona headquarters or the Internet. When necessary, we also may provide software customization services to meet any unique customer requirements.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

We market and sell our products to the small, mid-sized and enterprise markets in the United States and foreign countries through our direct sales and support organization and through our Business Alliance and Reseller Program. We believe the market for time and labor management products consists of the following three business segments:

 

                                          Small Businesses.  This segment is comprised of companies with fewer than 250 employees and one to three administrator(s) who perform time sheet edits and prepare employee hours for payroll.

 

                                          Mid-Sized Businesses.  This segment is comprised of companies with 250 to 1,000 employees. These companies normally have two or more administrators who perform time sheet edits and prepare employee hours from a single office. In many cases multiple stations are necessary for clocking in and out, however, all data is administered from a central location.

 

                                          Enterprise Businesses.  Enterprise businesses generally have over 1,000 employees with multiple field offices, each of which have one or more administrators. Payroll is performed at a central or

 

17



 

headquarter office. An enterprise customer is analogous to a collection of mid-sized businesses requiring centralized data collection and storage.

 

Direct Sales

 

The Company has five direct sales account managers responsible for designated geographic regions. The account managers work in offices in their respective regions. The primary markets for direct sales are the upper mid-sized and enterprise markets. End users include companies in the manufacturing and service industries, and in the public and private sectors. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the company’s direct sales efforts accounted for approximately 40% and 38% of the company’s total revenues, respectively.

 

Partner Sales

 

Partner sales are conducted through our Business Alliance and Reseller Programs. Our Business Alliance Program is a program that allows organizations to align with the Company through the use of private label, OEM, or referral programs.

 

Our Reseller Program is comprised of a network of approximately 250 value added resellers located throughout the United States and in certain foreign countries, which market our products along with the resellers’ complementary product offerings. The resellers typically sell to the small and mid-sized markets. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s reseller sales accounted for approximately 60% and 62% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

 

Backlog

 

The Company believes that the dollar amount of backlog is not material to an understanding of its business as substantially all of the company’s product revenues in each quarter result from orders received in that quarter.

 

Manufacturing and Sources of Supply

 

The duplication of Time America software is performed internally. The printing of documentation is primarily outsourced to suppliers. Although most of the parts and components included within our products are available from multiple suppliers, certain parts and components are purchased from single suppliers. We have chosen to source these items from single suppliers because we believe that the supplier chosen is able to consistently provide us with the highest quality product at a competitive price on a timely basis. While to date we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of these parts and components, the inability to transition to alternate supply sources on a timely basis if required in the future, could result in delays or reductions in product shipments, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

Product Development

 

Our product development efforts are focused on enhancing and increasing the performance of our existing products and developing new products. During fiscal 2004 and 2003, research and development expenses were $890,093 and $641,125, respectively, and were $995,378 during the nine-months ended March 31, 2005. We intend to continue to commit resources to enhance and extend our product lines and develop interfaces to third party products. Although we are continually seeking to further enhance our product offerings and to develop new products, there can be no assurance that these efforts will succeed, or that, if successful, such product enhancements or new products will achieve widespread market acceptance, or that our competitors will not develop and market products that are superior to our products or achieve greater market acceptance. We also depend upon the reliability and viability of a variety of software development tools owned by third parties to develop our products. If these tools prove inadequate or are not properly supported, our ability to release competitive products in a timely manner could be adversely impacted.

 

18



 

Proprietary Rights

 

We rely on a combination of trademarks, trade secret law and contracts to protect our proprietary technology. We generally provide software products to end-users under non-exclusive shrink-wrap licenses or under signed licenses, both of which may be terminated by Time America if the end user breaches the terms of the license. These licenses generally require that the software be used only internally subject to certain limitations, such as the number of employees, simultaneous users, computer model and serial number, features and/or terminals for which the end user has paid the required license fee. We authorize our resellers to sublicense software products to end users under similar terms. In certain circumstances, we also make master software licenses available to end users which permit either a specified limited number of copies or an unlimited number of copies of the software to be made for internal use. Some customers license software products under individually negotiated terms. Despite these precautions, it may be possible to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization. In addition, effective copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries.

 

Competition

 

We provide time and attendance, data collection and labor management solutions that enable businesses to optimize their labor resources. The labor management industry is highly competitive. Competition is increasing as businesses in related industries, such as human resources management, payroll processing and enterprise resource planning enter the time and attendance market. Advances in software development tools have accelerated the software development process and, therefore, enable competitors to penetrate our markets more readily. Although we believe we have certain technological and other advantages over our current competitors, maintaining those advantages will require continued investment by the Company in research and development and marketing and sales initiatives. There can be no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to make such investments or to achieve the technological advances necessary to maintain our competitive advantages. Increased competition could adversely affect our operating results through price reductions and/or loss of market share.

 

We compete primarily on the basis of price/performance, quality, reliability and customer service. In the time and attendance market, we compete against firms that sell automated time and attendance products to many industries, firms that focus on specific industries, and firms selling related products, such as payroll processing, human resources management, or ERP systems. Our major competitor, Kronos Corporation, is substantially larger and has access to significantly greater financial resources than the Company. Competitive market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Employees

 

As of July 15, 2005, we employed 53 individuals. None of our employees are represented by a union or other collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good. We have encountered intense competition for experienced technical personnel for product development, technical support and sales and expect such competition to continue in the future. Any inability to attract and retain a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel could adversely affect our ability to produce, support and sell products in a timely manner.

(1)           On March 28, 2001, the Company completed a merger with Time America, Inc. which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Time America Inc. merged with and into the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Vitrix Incorporated, with Vitrix Incorporated continuing as the surviving corporation. In connection with the acquisition, the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal effecting a 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The above selected and summary consolidated financial data for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 are based on the assumption that the companies were combined for the full fiscal year.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer according to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 17.                UNDERTAKINGS

 

1.             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement,

 

(a)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

(b)           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a) and (b) shall not apply if such information is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

 

(c)           To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

2.             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4.             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is

 

24



 

incorporated by reference into this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

5.                                       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished under and meeting the requirements of Rule l4a-3 or Rule l4c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

 

6.                                       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned registrant according the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:

Time America, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This firm is counsel for Time America, Inc. (formerly Vitrix, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).  As such, we are familiar with the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the Bylaws, as amended, of the Company.  An aggregate of 3,160,066 shares of common stock to be sold by certain selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholder Shares”), are the subject of a Registration Statement on Form S-2 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We also have examined all instruments, documents, and records that we deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed.  In such an examination, we have assumed the genuineness and authority of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Selling Shareholder Shares that are being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, are duly authorized, and will be, when issued and paid for in the manner described in the Registration Statement, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We acknowledge that we are referred to under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement and we hereby consent to the use of our name in such Registration Statement.  We further consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and with the state regulatory agencies in such states as may require such filing in connection with the registration of the Common Stock for offer and sale in such states.

Respectfully Submitted,

 

SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY L.L.P.

Exhibit 10.1

 

SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

This Security Agreement is made as of June 23, 2005 by and among LAURUS MASTER FUND, LTD., a Cayman Islands corporation (“Laurus”), TIME AMERICA, INC., a Nevada corporation (“the Parent”), and each party listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each an “Eligible Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Eligible Subsidiaries”) the Parent and each Eligible Subsidiary, each a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Companies have requested that Laurus make advances available to the Companies; and

 

Laurus has agreed to make such advances on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and undertakings and the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             General Definitions and Terms; Rules of Construction.

 

(a)           General Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Annex A.

 

(b)           Accounting Terms.  Any accounting terms used in this Agreement which are not specifically defined shall have the meanings customarily given them in accordance with GAAP and all financial computations shall be computed, unless specifically provided herein, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

 

(c)           Other Terms.  All other terms used in this Agreement and defined in the UCC, shall have the meaning given therein unless otherwise defined herein.

 

(d)           Rules of Construction.  All Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits hereto or expressly identified to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and taken together with this Agreement constitute but a single agreement.  The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” or other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits, Addenda, Annexes and Schedules thereto, as the same may be from time to time amended, modified, restated or supplemented, and not to any particular section, subsection or clause contained in this Agreement.  Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, the feminine and the neuter.  The term “or” is not exclusive.  The term “including” (or any form thereof) shall not be limiting or exclusive.  All references to statutes and related regulations shall include any amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations.  All references in this Agreement or in the Schedules, Addenda, Annexes and Exhibits to this Agreement to sections, schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments shall refer to the corresponding sections, schedules, disclosure schedules, exhibits, and attachments of or to this Agreement.  All references to any instruments or agreements, including references to any of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements shall include any and all modifications or amendments thereto and any and all extensions or renewals thereof.

 

2.             Loan Facility.

 

(a)           Loans.

 

(i)            Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements, Laurus may make loans (the “Loans”) to Companies from time to time during the Term which, in the

 



 

aggregate at any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) (I) the Capital Availability Amount minus (II) such reserves as Laurus may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem proper and necessary from time to time (the “Reserves”) and (y) an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability minus (II) the Reserves.  The amount derived at any time from Section 2(a)(i)(y)(I) minus 2(a)(i)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the “Formula Amount.”  The Companies shall, jointly and severally, execute and deliver to Laurus on the Closing Date the Revolving Note and a Minimum Borrowing Note evidencing the Loans funded on the Closing Date.  From time to time thereafter, the Companies shall jointly and severally execute and deliver to Laurus immediately prior to the final funding of each additional $1,000,000 tranche of Loans allocated to any Minimum Borrowing Note issued after the date hereof (calculated on a cumulative basis for each such tranche) an additional Minimum Borrowing Note evidencing such tranche, substantially in the form of the Minimum Borrowing Note delivered by the Companies to Laurus on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever during the Term the outstanding balance on the Minimum Borrowing Note shall be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount (such amount being referred to herein as the “Transferable Amount”) to the extent that the outstanding balance on the Revolving Note should equal or exceed $500,000, that portion of the balance of the Revolving Note that exceeds $500,000, but does not exceed the Transferable Amount, shall be segregated from the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note and allocated to and aggregated with the then existing balance of the next unissued serialized Minimum Borrowing Note (the “Next Unissued Serialized Note”); provided that such segregated amount shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of such Revolving Note until a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note is issued as set forth below.  The Next Unissued Serialized Note shall remain in book entry form until the balance thereunder shall equal the Minimum Borrowing Amount, at which time a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note in the face amount equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount will be issued and registered as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (and the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note shall at such time be correspondingly reduced in the amount equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of the issuance of such new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note).

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, if requested by any Company, Laurus retains the right to lend to such Company from time to time such amounts in excess of such limitations as Laurus may determine in its sole discretion.

 

(iii)          The Companies acknowledge that the exercise of Laurus’ discretionary rights hereunder may result during the Term in one or more increases or decreases in the advance percentages used in determining Accounts Availability and each of the Companies hereby consent to any such increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by the Companies, provided that in the case of any such decrease in the advance percentages the events giving rise to such decrease and Laurus’ use of such discretion are attributable to a significant change in the assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, operations, prospects or Eligible Accounts in the reasonable good faith judgment of Laurus.

 

(iv)          If any interest, fees, costs or charges payable to Laurus hereunder are not paid when due, each of the Companies shall thereby be deemed to have requested, and Laurus is hereby authorized at its discretion to make and charge to the Companies’ account, a Loan as of such date in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs or charges.

 

(v)           If any Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, Laurus may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of such Company (or, at Laurus’ option, in Laurus’ name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Laurus may deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors, lessors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments).  The amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Laurus in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Laurus shall be charged to the Companies’ account as a Loan and added to the Obligations.  To facilitate Laurus’ performance or observance of such covenants by each Company, each Company hereby irrevocably appoints Laurus, or Laurus’ delegate, acting alone, as such Company’s attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of such Company any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements,

applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by such Company.  This power of attorney shall only be exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, except with respect to the filing of financing statements, in which case such power of attorney shall be exercisable on and after the date hereof.

 

(vi)          Laurus will account to Company Agent monthly with a statement of all Loans and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such account rendered by Laurus shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Laurus is notified by Company Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was rendered specifying the item or items to which objection is made.

 

(vii)         During the Term, the Companies may borrow and prepay Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(viii)        If any Eligible Account is not paid by the Account Debtor within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date that such Eligible Account was invoiced or if any Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off, or counterclaim with respect to any Eligible Account, (a “Delinquent Account”), the Companies shall jointly and severally (i) reimburse Laurus for the amount of the Loans made with respect to such Delinquent Account plus an adjustment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.35%) of the gross face amount of such Eligible Account or (ii) immediately replace such Delinquent Account with an otherwise Eligible Account.

 

(b)           Receivables Purchase.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus may, at its option, elect to convert the credit facility contemplated hereby to an accounts receivable purchase facility.  Upon such election by Laurus (subsequent notice of which Laurus shall provide to Company Agent), the Companies shall be deemed to hereby have sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to Laurus, and Laurus shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Companies, all right, title and interest of the Companies in and to all Accounts which shall at any time constitute Eligible Accounts (the “Receivables Purchase”).  All outstanding Loans hereunder shall be deemed obligations under such accounts receivable purchase facility.  Following payment in full of all Obligations Laurus shall promptly assign to Parent any remaining Eligible Accounts which were deemed to be purchased by Laurus pursuant to this Section 2(b).  The conversion to an accounts receivable purchase facility in accordance with the terms hereof shall not be deemed an exercise by Laurus of its secured creditor rights under Article 9 of the UCC.  Immediately following Laurus’ request, the Companies shall execute all such further documentation as may be required by Laurus to more fully set forth the accounts receivable purchase facility herein contemplated, including, without limitation, an accounts receivable purchase agreement and account debtor notification letters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Laurus, but any Company’s failure to enter into any such documentation shall not impair or affect the Receivables Purchase in any manner whatsoever.

 

(c)           Minimum Borrowing Amount.  After a registration statement registering the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective by the SEC, conversions of the Minimum Borrowing Amount into the Common Stock may be initiated as set forth in the respective Minimum Borrowing Note.  From and after the date upon which any outstanding principal of the Minimum Borrowing Amount (as evidenced by the first Minimum Borrowing Note) is converted into Common Stock (the “First Conversion Date”), (i) corresponding amounts of all outstanding Loans (not attributable to the then outstanding Minimum Borrowing Amount) existing on or made after the First Conversion Date will be aggregated in accordance with Section 2(a)(i) and (ii) the Companies will issue a new (serialized) Minimum Borrowing Note to Laurus in accordance with Section 2(a)(i), and (iii) the Parent shall prepare and file a subsequent registration statement with the SEC to register such subsequent Minimum Borrowing Note as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

3.             Repayment of the Loans.  The Companies (a) may prepay the Obligations from time to time in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 17 hereof if such prepayment is due to a termination of this Agreement); (b) shall repay on the expiration of the Term (i) the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges and; (ii) all other amounts owed Laurus under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; and (c) subject to Section 2(a)(ii), shall repay on any day on which the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans are in excess of the Formula

 

3



 

Amount at such time, Loans in an amount equal to such excess. Any payments of principal, interest, fees or any other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds.

 

4.             Procedure for Loans.  Company Agent may by written notice request a borrowing of Loans prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on the next Business Day, a Loan.  Together with each request for a Loan (or at such other intervals as Laurus may request), Company Agent shall deliver to Laurus a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, which shall be certified as true and correct by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Parent together with all supporting documentation relating thereto.  All Loans shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Laurus may designate from time to time and shall be charged to the Companies’ account on Laurus’ books.  The proceeds of each Loan made by Laurus shall be made available to Company Agent on the Business Day following the Business Day so requested in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to the applicable Company’s operating account maintained with such bank as Company Agent designated to Laurus.  Any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder may be charged to the Companies’ account and shall constitute Loans.

 

5.             Interest and Payments.

 

(a)           Interest.

 

(i)            Except as modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, the Companies shall jointly and severally pay interest at the Contract Rate on the unpaid principal balance of each Loan until such time as such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars of the United States of America.

 

(ii)           Interest and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 360 days.  At Laurus’ option, Laurus may charge the Companies’ account for said interest.

 

(iii)          Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Contract Rate shall automatically be increased as set forth in the Notes (such increased rate, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations, excluding unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

 

(iv)          In no event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect from time to time (the “Maximum Legal Rate”), and if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate).

 

(v)           The Companies shall jointly and severally pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any set-off or counterclaim.

 

(b)           Payments; Certain Closing Conditions.

 

(i)            Closing/Annual Payments.  Upon execution of this Agreement by each Company and Laurus, the Companies shall jointly and severally pay to Laurus Capital Management, LLC a closing payment in an amount equal to three and six-tenths percent (3.60%) of the Capital Availability Amount.  Such payment shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be subject to rebate or proration for any reason.

 

(ii)           Overadvance Payment.  Without affecting Laurus’ rights hereunder in the event (x) the Loans exceed the Formula Amount (each such event, an “Overadvance”) without the written consent of Laurus, all such Overadvances shall bear additional interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum for all times such amounts shall be in excess of the Formula Amount and (y) an Overadvance exists following the receipt by the Companies of the written consent of Laurus, all such Overadvances shall bear additional interest at a rate mutually acceptable to

 

4



 

Laurus and Parent for all times such amounts shall be in excess of the Formula Amount.  All amounts that are incurred pursuant to this Section 5(b)(ii) shall be due and payable by the Companies monthly, in arrears, on the first business day of each calendar month and upon expiration of the Term.

 

(iii)          Financial Information Default.  Without affecting Laurus’ other rights and remedies, in the event any Company fails to deliver the financial information required by Section 11 on or before the date required by this Agreement, the Companies shall jointly and severally pay Laurus an aggregate fee in the amount of $500.00 per week (or portion thereof) for each such failure until such failure is cured to Laurus’ satisfaction or waived in writing by Laurus.  All amounts that are incurred pursuant to this Section 5(b)(iii) shall be due and payable by the Companies monthly, in arrears, on the first business of each calendar month and upon expiration of the Term.

 

(iv)          Expenses.  The Companies shall jointly and severally reimburse Laurus for its expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and expenses incurred in connection with Laurus’ due diligence review of each Company and its Subsidiaries and all related matters.  Amounts required to be paid under this Section 5(b)(iv) will be paid on the Closing Date and shall be $30,000 for such expenses referred to in this Section 5(b)(iv).

 

6.             Security Interest.

 

(a)           To secure the prompt payment to Laurus of the Obligations, each Company hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Laurus a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the Collateral.  All of each Company’s Books and Records relating to the Collateral shall, until delivered to or removed by Laurus, be kept by such Company in trust for Laurus until all Obligations have been paid in full.  Each confirmatory assignment schedule or other form of assignment hereafter executed by each Company shall be deemed to include the foregoing grant, whether or not the same appears therein.

 

(b)           Each Company hereby (i) authorizes Laurus to file any financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto that (x) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets and personal property of such Company or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC of such jurisdiction, or (2) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (y) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment and (ii) ratifies its authorization for Laurus to have filed any initial financial statements, or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.  Each Company acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Laurus and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Laurus, subject to such Company’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

 

(c)           Each Company hereby grants to Laurus an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable upon the termination of this Agreement due to an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Company) to use, transfer, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned, licensed to, or hereafter acquired by such Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer and automatic machinery software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and represents, promises and agrees that any such license or sublicense is not and will not be in conflict with the contractual or commercial rights of any third Person; provided, that such license will terminate on the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of all Obligations.

 

7.             Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning the Collateral.  Each Company represents, warrants (each of which such representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated upon the making of each request for a Loan and made as of the time of each and every Loan hereunder) and covenants as follows:

 

5



 

(a)           all of the Collateral (i) is owned by it free and clear of all Liens (including any claims of infringement) except those in Laurus’ favor and Permitted Liens and (ii) is not subject to any agreement prohibiting the granting of a Lien or requiring notice of or consent to the granting of a Lien.

 

(b)           it shall not encumber, mortgage, pledge, assign or grant any Lien in any Collateral or any other assets to anyone other than Laurus and except for Permitted Liens.

 

(c)           the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon completion of the filings and other actions listed on Schedule 7(c) (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to in said Schedule, have been delivered to Laurus in duly executed form) constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of Laurus as security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against any and all of its creditors and purchasers and such security interest is prior to all other Liens in existence on the date hereof.

 

(d)           no effective security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is or will be on file or of record in any public office, except those relating to Permitted Liens.

 

(e)           it shall not dispose of any of the Collateral whether by sale, lease or otherwise except for the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and for the disposition or transfer in the ordinary course of business during any fiscal year of obsolete and worn-out Equipment having an aggregate fair market value of not more than $25,000.  and only to the extent that (i) the proceeds of any such disposition are used to acquire replacement Equipment which is subject to Laurus’ first priority security interest or are used to repay Loans or to pay general corporate expenses, or (ii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default which continues to exist the proceeds of which are remitted to Laurus to be held as cash collateral for the Obligations.

 

(f)            it shall defend the right, title and interest of Laurus in and to the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever, and take such actions, including (i) all actions necessary to grant Laurus “control” of any Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights or electronic Chattel Paper owned by it, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Laurus, (ii) the prompt (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following Laurus’ request therefor) delivery to Laurus of all original Instruments, Chattel Paper, negotiable Documents and certificated Stock owned by it (in each case, accompanied by stock powers, allonges or other instruments of transfer executed in blank), (iii) notification of Laurus’ interest in Collateral at Laurus’ request, and (iv) the institution of litigation against third parties as shall be prudent in order to protect and preserve its and/or Laurus’ respective and several interests in the Collateral.

 

(g)           it shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the same is acquired by it, notify Laurus of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) acquired by it and unless otherwise consented by Laurus, it shall enter into a supplement to this Agreement granting to Laurus a Lien in such commercial tort claim.

 

(h)           it shall place notations upon its Books and Records and any of its financial statements to disclose Laurus’ Lien in the Collateral.

 

(i)            if it retains possession of any Chattel Paper or Instrument with Laurus’ consent, upon Laurus’ request such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be marked with the following legend:  “This writing and obligations evidenced or secured hereby are subject to the security interest of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the reasonable request of Laurus, such Chattel Paper and Instruments shall be delivered to Laurus.

 

(j)            it shall perform in a reasonable time all other steps requested by Laurus to create and maintain in Laurus’ favor a valid perfected first Lien in all Collateral subject only to Permitted Liens.

 

(k)           it shall notify Laurus promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof (i) of any event or circumstance that, to its knowledge, would cause Laurus to consider

21



 

all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as Laurus may request (a) to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (b) to protect, preserve and maintain Laurus’ rights in the Collateral and under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and/or (c) to enable Laurus to exercise all or any of the rights and powers herein granted or any Ancillary Agreement.

(a)           Requisite Power and Authority.  Laurus has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to carry out their provisions.  All corporate action on Laurus’ part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing Date.  Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be valid and binding obligations of Laurus, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable and legal remedies.

 

(b)           Investment Representations.  Laurus understands that the Securities are being offered pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Laurus’ representations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, that Laurus is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.  Laurus has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Notes to be issued to it under this Agreement and the Securities acquired by it upon the conversion of the Notes.

 

(c)           Laurus Bears Economic Risk.  Laurus has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Parent so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Parent and has the capacity to protect its own interests.  Laurus must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Securities are sold pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) an exemption from registration is available.

 

(d)           Investment for Own Account.  The Securities are being issued to Laurus for its own account for investment only, and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view towards or for resale in connection with their distribution.

 

(e)           Laurus Can Protect Its Interest.  Laurus represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business and financial experience, Laurus has the capacity to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Notes, and the Securities and to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements.  Further, Laurus is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

 

(f)            Accredited Investor.  Laurus represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

(g)           Shorting.  Neither Laurus nor any of its Affiliates or investment partners has, will, or will cause any Person, to directly engage in “short sales” of the Parent’s Common Stock as long as any Minimum Borrowing Note shall be outstanding.

 

(h)           Patriot Act.  Laurus certifies that, to the best of Laurus’ knowledge, Laurus has not been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist” as defined in Executive Order 13224.  Laurus seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities.  In furtherance of those efforts, Laurus hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:  (i) none of the cash or property that Laurus will use to make the Loans has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii) no disbursement by Laurus to any Company to the extent within Laurus’ control, shall cause Laurus to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing

 

22



 

Act of 2001.  Laurus shall promptly notify the Company Agent if any of these representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding Laurus.  Laurus agrees to provide the Company any additional information regarding Laurus that the Company deems necessary or convenient to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.  Laurus understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable law or regulation related to money laundering similar activities, Laurus may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of Laurus’ investment in the Parent.  Laurus further understands that the Parent may release information about Laurus and, if applicable, any underlying beneficial owners, to proper authorities if the Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Parent in light of relevant rules and regulations under the laws set forth in subsection (ii) above.

 

(i)            Limitation on Acquisition of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, or any document, instrument or agreement entered into in connection with any other transaction entered into by and between Laurus and any Company (and/or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any Company), Laurus shall not acquire stock in the Parent (including, without limitation, pursuant to a contract to purchase, by exercising an option or warrant, by converting any other security or instrument, by acquiring or exercising any other right to acquire, shares of stock or other security convertible into shares of stock in the Parent, or otherwise, and such options, warrants, conversion or other rights shall not be exercisable) to the extent such stock acquisition would cause any interest (including any original issue discount) payable by any Company to Laurus not to qualify as portfolio interest, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) by reason of Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, taking into account the constructive ownership rules under Section 871(h)(3)(C) of the Code (the “Stock Acquisition Limitation”).  The Stock Acquisition Limitation shall automatically become null and void without any notice to any Company upon the earlier to occur of either (a) the Parent’s delivery to Laurus of a Notice of Redemption (as defined in the Notes) or (b) the existence of an Event of Default at a time when the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the immediately preceding five trading days is greater than or equal to 150% of the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes).

 

16.           Power of Attorney.  Each Company hereby appoints Laurus, or any other Person whom Laurus may designate as such Company’s attorney, with power to:  (i) endorse such Company’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into Laurus’ possession; (ii) sign such Company’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts, notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records, verifications of Account and notices to or from Account Debtors; (iii) verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise with Account Debtors; (iv) do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement and all related documents; and (v) on or after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such Company’s mail to an address designated by Laurus, and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Company.  Each Company hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney.  Neither Laurus, nor the attorney will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.  This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as Laurus has a security interest and until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.  The power of attorney set forth in this Section 16 shall only be exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, except with respect to the filing of financing statements, in which case such power of attorney shall be exercisable on and after the date hereof.

 

17.           Term of Agreement.  Laurus’ agreement to make Loans and extend financial accommodations under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Term.  At Laurus’ election following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus may terminate this Agreement.  The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any of Laurus’ rights hereunder or any Ancillary Agreement and the provisions hereof and thereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created and the Obligations have been irrevocably disposed of, concluded or liquidated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Laurus shall release its security interests at any time after thirty (30) days notice upon irrevocable payment to it of all Obligations.

 

23



 

18.           Termination of Lien.  The Liens and rights granted to Laurus hereunder and any Ancillary Agreements and the financing statements filed in connection herewith or therewith shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that any Company’s account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full after the termination of this Agreement.  Laurus shall not be required to send termination statements to any Company, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms and all Obligations indefeasibly paid in full in immediately available funds.

 

19.           Events of Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(f)            attachments or levies in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate are made upon any Company’s assets or a judgment is rendered against any Company’s property involving a liability of more than $250,000 which shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded within ninety (90) days from the entry thereof;

(m)          the indictment or threatened indictment of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any executive officer of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any criminal statute, or commencement or threatened commencement of criminal or civil proceeding against any Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any executive officer of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which statute or proceeding penalties or remedies sought or available include forfeiture of any of the property of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

25



 

20.           Remedies.  Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Laurus shall have the right to demand repayment in full of all Obligations, whether or not otherwise due.  Until all Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly satisfied, Laurus shall retain its Lien in all Collateral.  Laurus shall have, in addition to all other rights provided herein and in each Ancillary Agreement, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and under other applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which Laurus may be entitled, including the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, to require each Company to assemble the Collateral, at Companies’ joint and several expense, and to make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus which is reasonably convenient to both parties and to enter any of the premises of any Company or wherever the Collateral shall be located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the same on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of any Company, such Company agrees not to charge Laurus for storage thereof), and the right to apply for the appointment of a receiver for such Company’s property.  Further, Laurus may, at any time or times after the occurrence of an Event of Default, sell and deliver all Collateral held by or for Laurus at public or private sale for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as Laurus, in Laurus’ sole discretion, deems advisable or Laurus may otherwise recover upon the Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as Laurus, in its sole discretion, deems advisable.  The requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company Agent at Company Agent’s address as shown in Laurus’ records, at least ten (10) days before the time of the event of which notice is being given.  Laurus may be the purchaser at any sale, if it is public.  In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Laurus is granted permission to use all of each Company’s Intellectual Property.  The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and second to the payment (in whatever order Laurus elects) of all Obligations.  After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Laurus of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-608(a)(1) of the UCC (but only after Laurus has received what Laurus considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) or its representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.  The Companies shall remain jointly and severally liable to Laurus for any deficiency.  In addition, the Companies shall jointly and severally pay Laurus a liquidation fee (“Liquidation Fee”) in the amount of five percent (5%) of the actual amount collected in respect of each Account outstanding at any time during a Liquidation Period”.  For purposes hereof, “Liquidation Period” means a period:  (i) beginning on the earliest date of (x) an event referred to in Section 19(i) or 19(j), or (y) the cessation of any Company’s business; and (ii) ending on the date on which Laurus has actually received all Obligations due and owing it under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.  The Liquidation Fee shall be paid on the date on which Laurus collects the applicable Account by deduction from the proceeds thereof.  Each Company and Laurus acknowledge that the actual damages that would be incurred by Laurus after the occurrence of an Event of Default would be difficult to quantify and that such Company and Laurus have agreed that the fees and obligations set forth in this Section and in this Agreement would constitute fair and appropriate liquidated damages in the event of any such termination.

 

21.           Waivers.  To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Company hereby waives (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Laurus on which such Company may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Laurus may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Laurus’ taking possession or control of, or to Laurus’ replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Laurus to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.  Each Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

 

22.           Expenses.  The Companies shall jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’ out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.  The Companies shall also jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any

 

26



 

waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b) Laurus’ obtaining performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and Liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing.  The Companies shall also jointly and severally pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for any Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any Company’s or such Subsidiary’s request or in connection with any Company’s loan account with Laurus.  All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and interest payable by the Companies to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral.  If any tax by any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Company and/or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand, and Laurus on the other hand, which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay, the Companies hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and holds Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and the Companies will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to the Companies’ account; and until the Companies shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or supply Laurus with evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to each Company’s credit and Laurus shall retain its Liens in any and all Collateral.

 

23.           Assignment By Laurus.  Laurus may assign any or all of the Obligations together with any or all of the security therefor to any Person and any such assignee shall succeed to all of Laurus’ rights with respect thereto; provided that Laurus shall not be permitted to effect any such assignment to a competitor of any Company unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon such assignment, Laurus shall be released from all responsibility for the Collateral to the extent same is assigned to any transferee.  Laurus may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between Laurus and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as Laurus with respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a participant.  Each Company agrees that each such holder may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim with respect to its participation in the Obligations as fully as though such Company were directly indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation.

 

24.           No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  Failure by Laurus to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any other agreement between or among any Company and Laurus or delay by Laurus in exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by Laurus will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.  Laurus’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which Laurus may have.

 

25.           Application of Payments.  Each Company irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by Laurus from or on such Company’s behalf and each Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Laurus shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in such manner as Laurus may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by Laurus upon any of Laurus’ books and records.

 

26.           Indemnity.  Each Company hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold Laurus, and its respective affiliates, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any such indemnified liability is finally determined by a court of competent

 

27



 

jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

 

27.           Revival.  The Companies further agree that to the extent any Company makes a payment or payments to Laurus, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.

 

28.           Borrowing Agency Provisions.

 

(a)           Each Company hereby irrevocably designates Company Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Company, and hereby authorizes Laurus to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Company Agent.

 

(b)           The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Companies and at their request.  Laurus shall not incur any liability to any Company as a result thereof.  To induce Laurus to do so and in consideration thereof, each Company hereby indemnifies Laurus and holds Laurus harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Laurus by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of the Companies as provided herein, reliance by Laurus on any request or instruction from Company Agent or any other action taken by Laurus with respect to this Paragraph 28.

 

(c)           All Obligations shall be joint and several, and the Companies shall make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of the Companies shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Laurus to any Company, failure of Laurus to give any Company notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Laurus to pursue to preserve its rights against any Company, the release by Laurus of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Company, and such agreement by any Company to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Laurus to any Company or any Collateral for such Company’s Obligations or the lack thereof.

 

(d)           Each Company expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Company may now or hereafter have against the other or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations, or against or with respect to any other’s property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement has been irrevocably terminated.

 

(e)           Each Company represents and warrants to Laurus that (i) Companies have one or more common shareholders, directors and officers, (ii) the businesses and corporate activities of Companies are closely related to, and substantially benefit, the business and corporate activities of Companies, (iii) the financial and other operations of Companies are performed on a combined basis as if Companies constituted a consolidated corporate group, (iv) Companies will receive a substantial economic benefit from entering into this Agreement and will receive a substantial economic benefit from the application of each Loan hereunder, in each case, whether or not such amount is used directly by any Company and (v) all requests for Loans hereunder by the Company Agent are

 

28



 

for the exclusive and indivisible benefit of the Companies as though, for purposes of this Agreement, the Companies constituted a single entity.

 

29.           Notices.  Any notice or request hereunder may be given to any Company, Company Agent or Laurus at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section.  Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail or telecopy (confirmed by mail).  Notices and requests shall be, in the case of those by hand delivery, deemed to have been given when delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) Business Days after the date when deposited in the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, and, in the case of a telecopy, when confirmed.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement among the Companies and the Holder dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

 

The following terms shall apply to this Minimum Borrowing Note (this “Note”):

 

ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE

 

1.1           Contract Rate.  Subject to Sections 4.2 and 5.10, interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Contract Rate”) equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Prime Rate”).  The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in the Prime Rate.  Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2005 on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

 

1.2           Contract Rate Adjustments and Payments.  The Contract Rate shall be calculated on the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity Date (each a “Determination Date”) and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth herein.  If (i) the Parent shall have registered the shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each Minimum Borrowing Note and the exercise of each Warrant on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (ii) the market price (the “Market Price”) of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2%) for each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.  If (i) the Parent shall not have registered the shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each Minimum Borrowing Note and each Warrant on a registration statement declared effective by the SEC and which remains effective, and (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the principal

 



 

market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be decreased by 100 basis points (100 b.p.) (1%) for each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the contrary contained herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate at any time be less than zero percent (0%).

 

ARTICLE II
LOANS; PAYMENTS UNDER THIS NOTE

 

2.1           Loans.  All Loans evidenced by this Note shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement.

 

2.2           No Effective Registration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Holder shall not be required to accept shares of Common Stock as payment following a conversion by the Holder if there fails to exist an effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the shares of Common Stock to be issued, or if an Event of Default hereunder exists and is continuing, unless such requirement is otherwise waived in writing by the Holder in whole or in part at the Holder’s option.

 

2.3           Optional Redemption in Cash.  The Companies will have the option of prepaying this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the principal amount of this Note together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Security Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below).  The Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be seven (7) days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the “Redemption Period”).  A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (defined below) pursuant to Section 3.1, or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 during the Redemption Period.  The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if such Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption.  On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount (plus any additional interest and fees accruing on the Notes during the Redemption Period) must be irrevocably paid in full in immediately available funds to the Holder.  In the event the Companies fail to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date, then such Redemption Notice shall be null and void.

 

ARTICLE III
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE

 

3.1           Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or during an Event of Default (as defined in Article IV), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price.  For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the initial “Fixed Conversion Price” means $.65.  The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.

 

3.2           Conversion Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The Conversion Shares limitation described in this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null and void following notice to any Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Parent.  Notwithstanding anything contained

 

2



 

herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or any Company.

 

3.3           Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.  In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (appropriately completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that are being converted.  On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Parent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within three (3) Business Day of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).  In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion.  The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the contrary.

 

3.4           Late Payments.  Each Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article III upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per Business Day after the Delivery Date.  The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

 

3.5           Conversion Mechanics.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

 

3.6           Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

(a)           Reclassification.  If the Parent at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.

 

(b)           Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

3



 

(c)           Share Issuances.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, if the Parent shall on any date on or after June 23, 2006 and prior to the conversion or repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock to a person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Sections 3.6(a) or (b) above; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to the Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Parent) for a consideration per share (the “Offer Price”) less than the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer Price.  For purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of the Parent convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of such securities.

 

(d)           Computation of Consideration.  For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above, the following shall apply:

 

(i)            in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Parent for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
 
(ii)           in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof); and
 
(iii)          upon any such exercise, the aggregate consideration received for such securities shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Parent for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Parent upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5).
 

3.7           Reservation of Shares.  During the period the conversion right exists, the Parent will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note and the warrant.  The Parent represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The Parent agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.

 

3.8           Registration Rights.  The Holder has been granted registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares as set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement.

 

3.9           Issuance of New Note.  Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Parent to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid.  Subject to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, the Parent shall not pay any costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

4

4.3           Default Payment.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder, at its option, may elect, in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and all obligations of each Company under the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and severally, to make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”).  The Default Payment shall be 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder.  The Default Payment shall be applied first to any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes and/or the Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes, the Security Agreement and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes.  The Default Payment shall be due and payable immediately on the date that the Holder has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 4.3.

THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

SECURED REVOLVING NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of TIME AMERICA, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), and the other companies listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (such other companies together with the Parent, each a “Company” and collectively, the “Companies”), jointly and severally, promises to pay to LAURUS MASTER FUND, LTD., c/o M&C Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 309 GT, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, Fax: 345-949-8080 (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), without duplication of any amounts owing by the Companies to the Holder under the Minimum Borrowing Notes (as defined in the Security Agreement referred to below), or, if different, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans (as defined in the Security Agreement referred to below), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on June 23, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement among the Companies and the Holder dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”).

 

The following terms shall apply to this Secured Revolving Note (this “Note”):

 

ARTICLE I
CONTRACT RATE AND MINIMUM BORROWING NOTE

 

1.1                                 Contract Rate.  Subject to Sections 3.2 and 4.10, interest payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note (the “Principal Amount”) shall accrue at a rate per annum (the “Contract Rate”) equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time (the “Prime Rate”).  The Contract Rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the Prime Rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in the Prime Rate.  Interest shall be (i) calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, and (ii) payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on July 1, 2005 on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, and on the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

 

1.2                                 Contract Rate Adjustments and Payments.  The Contract Rate shall be calculated on the last business day of each calendar month hereafter (other than for increases or decreases in the Prime Rate which shall be calculated and become effective in accordance with the terms of Section 1.1) until the Maturity Date (each a “Determination Date”) and shall be subject to adjustment as set forth herein.  If (i) the Parent shall have registered the shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each Minimum Borrowing Note and the exercise of each Warrant on a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (ii) the market price (the “Market Price”) of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be reduced by 200 basis points (200 b.p.) (2%) for each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. If (i) the Parent shall not have registered the shares of the Common Stock underlying the conversion of each Minimum Borrowing Note and each Warrant on a registration statement declared effective by the SEC and which

 



 

remains effective, and (ii) the Market Price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the principal market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding a Determination Date exceeds the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price by at least twenty-five percent (25%), the Contract Rate for the succeeding calendar month shall automatically be decreased by 100 basis points (100 b.p.) (1%) for each incremental twenty-five percent (25%) increase in the Market Price of the Common Stock above the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing (and anything to the contrary contained herein), in no event shall the Contract Rate at any time be less than zero percent (0%).

 

1.3                                 Allocation of Principal to Minimum Borrowing Note.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whenever during the Term the outstanding balance on the Minimum Borrowing Note shall be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount (such amount being referred to herein as the “Transferable Amount”) to the extent that the outstanding balance on the Revolving Note should equal or exceed $500,000, that portion of the balance of the Revolving Note that exceeds $500,000, but does not exceed the Transferable Amount, shall be segregated from the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note and allocated to and aggregated with the then existing balance of the next unissued serialized Minimum Borrowing Note (the “Next Unissued Serialized Note”); provided that such segregated balance shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of such Revolving Note until a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note is issued as set forth below.  The Next Unissued Serialized Note shall remain in book entry form until the balance thereunder shall equal the Minimum Borrowing Amount, at which time a new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note in the face amount equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount will be issued and registered as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement (and the outstanding balance under the Revolving Note shall at such time be correspondingly reduced in the amount equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount as a result of the issuance of such new serialized Minimum Borrowing Note).

 

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION RIGHTS AND FIXED CONVERSION PRICE

 

2.1                                 Optional Conversion.  Subject to the terms of this Article II, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or during an Event of Default (as defined in Article III), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.2 hereof, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable restricted shares of the Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price (defined below).  For purposes hereof, subject to Section 2.6 hereof, the initial “Fixed Conversion Price” means $.65.  The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.

 

2.2                                 Conversion Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between (i) 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  The Conversion Shares limitation described in this Section 2.2 shall automatically become null and void following notice to any Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Parent.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.2 are irrevocable and may not be waived by the Holder or any Company.

 

2.3                                 Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.  In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (appropriately completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Parent and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that are being converted.  On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Parent within two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Parent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Parent will issue instructions to the

 

2



 

transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel within three (3) Business Days of the date of the delivery to the Parent of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”).  In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Parent of the Notice of Conversion.  The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Parent written instructions to the contrary.

 

2.4                                 Late Payments.  Each Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per Business Day after the Delivery Date.  The Companies shall, jointly and severally, make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.

 

2.5                                 Conversion Mechanics.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price.

 

2.6                                 Adjustment Provisions.  The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:

 

(a)                                  Reclassification.  If the Parent at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after, such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.

 

(b)                                 Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends.  If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Parent in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

 

(c)                                  Share Issuances.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, if the Parent shall on any date on or after June 23, 2006 and prior to the conversion or repayment in full of the Principal Amount issue any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock to a Person other than the Holder (except (i) pursuant to Sections 2.6(a) or (b) above; (ii) pursuant to options, warrants, or other obligations to issue shares outstanding on the date hereof as disclosed to the Holder in writing; or (iii) pursuant to options that may be issued under any employee incentive stock option and/or any qualified stock option plan adopted by the Parent) for a consideration per share (the “Offer Price”) less than the Fixed Conversion Price in effect at the time of such issuance, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be immediately reset to such lower Offer Price.  For purposes hereof, the issuance of any security of the Parent convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price upon the issuance of such securities.

 

(d)                                 Computation of Consideration.  For purposes of any computation respecting consideration received pursuant to Section 2.6(c) above, the following shall apply:

 

3



 

(i)                                     in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be the amount of such cash, provided that in no case shall any deduction be made for any commissions, discounts or other expenses incurred by the Parent for any underwriting of the issue or otherwise in connection therewith;
 
(ii)                                  in the case of the issuance of shares of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Parent (irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof); and
 
(iii)                               upon any such exercise, the aggregate consideration received for such securities shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Parent for the issuance of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Parent upon the conversion or exchange thereof (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.6(d)).
 

2.7                                 Reservation of Shares.  During the period the conversion right exists, the Parent will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note and the Warrant.  The Parent represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  The Parent agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.

 

ARTICLE III
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND DEFAULT RELATED PROVISIONS

 

3.1                                 Events of Default.  The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Security Agreement shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder.

 

3.2                                 Default Interest.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in an amount equal to four percent (4.0%) per annum, and all outstanding Obligations, excluding unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue interest at such additional interest rate from the date of such Event of Default until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived.

 

3.3                                 Default Payment.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Holder, at its option, may elect, in addition to all rights and remedies of the Holder under the Security Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements and all obligations and liabilities of each Company under the Security Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements, to require the Companies, jointly and severally, to make a Default Payment (“Default Payment”).  The Default Payment shall be 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, all other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable hereunder.  The Default Payment shall be applied first to any fees due and payable to the Holder pursuant to the Notes, the Security Agreement and/or the Ancillary Agreements, then to accrued and unpaid interest due on the Notes and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes.  The Default Payment shall be due and payable immediately on the date that the Holder has exercised its rights pursuant to this Section 3.3.

 

ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1                                 Conversion Privileges.  The conversion privileges set forth in Article II shall remain in full force and effect immediately from the date hereof until the date this Note is indefeasibly paid in full and irrevocably terminated.

 

4.2                                 Cumulative Remedies.  The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.

 

4



 

4.3                                 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

4.4                                 Notices.  Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective given (a) upon personal delivery to the party notified, (b) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.  All communications shall be sent to the respective Company at the address provided for such Company in the Security Agreement executed in connection herewith, and to the Holder at the address provided in the Security Agreement for the Holder, with a copy to John E. Tucker, Esq., 825 Third Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022, facsimile number (212) 541-4434, or at such other address as the respective Company or the Holder may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.  A Notice of Conversion shall be deemed given when made to the Parent pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

4.5                                 Amendment Provision.  The term “Note” and all references thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented, and any successor instrument as such successor instrument may be amended or supplemented.

 

4.6                                 Assignability.  This Note shall be binding upon each Company and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may be assigned by the Holder in accordance with the requirements of the Security Agreement.  No Company may not assign any of its obligations under this Note without the prior written consent of the Holder, any such purported assignment without such consent being null and void.

 

4.7                                 Cost of Collection.  In case of any Event of Default under this Note, the Companies shall, jointly and severally, pay the Holder the Holder’s reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.8                                 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.

2



 

applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Exercise Notice in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

3.                                       [Intentionally Deleted]

 

4.                                       Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.

 

4.1                                 Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.  In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 5.

 

4.2                                 Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of

 

3



 

its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrant pursuant to Section 4.1, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder of the Warrant (the “Trustee”).

 

4.3                                 Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 4, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 5.  In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 4, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holders of the Warrant will be delivered to Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 4.2.

 

5.                                       Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 5.  The number of shares of Common Stock that the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 5) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

6.                                       Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant.  The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the holder of the Warrant and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 12 hereof).

 

7.                                       Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant.  The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.

 

8.                                       Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part.  On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of

 

4



 

applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

9.                                       Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

10.                                 Registration Rights.  The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company.  These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser dated as of even date of this Warrant.

 

11.                                 Maximum Exercise.  The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such date.  For the purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restriction described in this paragraph may be revoked upon 75 days prior notice from the Holder to the Company and is automatically null and void upon an Event of Default under the Note.

 

12.                                 Warrant Agent.  The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 9, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.

 

13.                                 Transfer on the Company’s Books.  Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

14.                                 Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder of this Warrant who has so furnished an address to the Company.

 

15.                                 Miscellaneous.  This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state of New York; provided, however, that the Holder may choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the state of New York.  The Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable

 

5



 

under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant.  The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.  The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Warrant as of the date first written above.

(c)                                  Within three business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth above.

 

3.                                       Registration Procedures.  If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a)                                  prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;

 

(b)                                 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period;

 

(c)                                  furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;

 

3



 

(d)                                 use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

 

(e)                                  list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;

 

(f)                                    immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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; and

 

(g)                                 make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.

 

4.                                       Registration Expenses.  All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders (upon prior agreement by the parties and to the extent such counsel is required due to Company’s failure to meet any of its obligations hereunder), are called “Registration Expenses”. All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.”   The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.

 

5.                                       Indemnification.

 

(a)                                  In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of Purchaser’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.

 

(b)                                 In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers,

 

4



 

directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

 

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

 

(d)                                 In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all

 

5



 

securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

6.                                       Representations and Warranties.

 

(a)                                  The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on Schedule 12(u) to the Security Agreement, the Company has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act.  The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 and all Current Reports on Form 8-K that the Company was required to file in its fiscal year 2005 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”).  Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.

 

(b)                                 The Common Stock is listed for trading on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“NASD OTCBB”) and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing.  The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from the NASD OTCBB (except for prior notices which have been fully remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.

 

(c)                                  Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Security Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

 

(d)                                 The Warrants, each Note and the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the Warrants and each Note are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement.  The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or state securities laws.

 

(e)                                  The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion of each Note and the exercise of the Warrant and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect.  The Company specifically acknowledges that

 

6



 

its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

 

(f)                                    Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

 

(g)                                 The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full conversion of each Note and the exercise of the Warrants.

 

7.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 No Piggyback on Registrations.  Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto or provided that the Holders give their consent, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.

 

(c)                                  Compliance.  Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

(d)                                 Discontinued Disposition.  Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.  For purposes of this Section 7(d), a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) 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/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the

 

7



 

case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(e)                                  Piggy-Back Registrations.  If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required the consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement.

 

(f)                                    Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(g)                                 Notices.  Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or the Purchaser at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(g).  Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail, Federal Express or other national overnight next day carrier (collectively, “Courier”) or telecopy (confirmed by mail).  Notices and requests shall be, in the case of those by hand delivery, deemed to have been given when delivered to any party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) business days after the date when deposited in the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, in the case of a Courier, the next business day following timely delivery of the package with the Courier, and, in the case of a telecopy, when confirmed.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as follows:

Re:                               Time America, Inc. Registration Statement on Form [SB-2]                                       

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

As counsel to Time America, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), of an aggregate of [amount] shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

A Registration Statement on Form [SB-2] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with respect to the resale of the Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date].  Enclosed is the Prospectus dated [date].  We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.

 

Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend.  We will advise you if the registration statement is not available or effective at any point in the future.

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

[Company counsel]

SECTION 6.           Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

 

(a)           So long as no Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(iii)          The Noteholder, shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the appropriate Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (i) above and to receive the dividends that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (ii) above.

(b)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default:

 

(i)            All rights of the Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) and to receive the dividends payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Noteholder who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights at the direction of the Noteholder and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends.

 

(ii)           All dividends that are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (i) of this Section 6(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Noteholder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Noteholder as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

 

(c)           As used herein, “Event of Default” (i) shall mean an “Event of Default” under and as defined in any Document, and (ii) shall mean the failure of any Pledgor to pay or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the continuation of such failure for a period of 5 (five) days.

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

 

THIS GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST (“Grant”), effected as of June 23, 2005, is executed by Time America, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Grantor”), in favor of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Secured Party”).

 

A.            Pursuant to (i) a Master Security Agreement dated as of March 22, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2004 Security Agreement”) among the Grantor, certain other Assignors (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) and the Secured Party, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein as fully set forth herein and (ii) a Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2005 Security Agreement” and, together with the 2004 Security Agreement, the “Security Agreements” and each, a “Security Agreement”) among the Grantor, certain other Companies (as defined in the 2005 Security Agreement), and the Secured Party, the terms and provisions of which are hereby incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein, in each case, the Grantor and the other Companies and Assignors, as the case may be, have granted a security interest to the Secured Party in consideration of the Secured Party’s agreement to provide financial accommodations to such Companies and such Assignors.

 

B.            The Grantor (1) has adopted, used and is using the trademarks reflected in the trademark registrations and trademark applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office more particularly described on Schedule 1 annexed hereto as part hereof (the “Trademarks”), and (2) has registered or applied for registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office of the patents more particularly described on Schedule 2 annexed hereto as part hereof (the “Patents”).

 

C.            The Grantor wishes to confirm its grant to the Secured Party of a security interest in all right, title and interest of the Grantor in and to the Trademarks and Patents, and all proceeds thereof, together with the business as well as the goodwill of the business symbolized by, or related or pertaining to, the Trademarks, and the customer lists and records related to the Trademarks and Patents and all causes of action which may exist by reason of infringement of any of the Trademarks and Patents (collectively, the “T&P Collateral”), to secure the payment, performance and observance of the Obligations (as that term is defined in each Security Agreement).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged:

 

1.             The Grantor does hereby further grant to the Secured Party a security interest in the T&P Collateral to secure the full and prompt payment, performance and observance of the Obligations.

 

2.             The Grantor agrees to perform, so long as either Security Agreement is in effect, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Secured Party to permit and assist it, at the Grantor’s expense, in obtaining and enforcing the Trademarks and Patents in any and all countries.  Such acts may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in legal proceedings.  The Grantor hereby appoints the Secured Party as the Grantor’s attorney-in-fact to execute and file any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Secured Party may determine to be necessary or desirable to evidence the Secured Party’s security interest in the Trademarks and Patents or any other element of the T&P Collateral, all acts of such attorney-in-fact being hereby ratified and confirmed.

 

3.             The Grantor acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the security interest in the T&P Collateral granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreements and the rights and remedies set forth herein are without prejudice to, and are in addition to, those set forth in the Security Agreements.  In the event that any provisions of this Grant are deemed to conflict with either Security Agreement, the provisions of such Security Agreement shall govern.

 

4.             The Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file all such financing statements or other instruments to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code and agrees to execute all such other documents,

 



 

agreements and instruments as may be required or deemed necessary by the Secured Party, in each case for purposes of affecting or continuing Secured Party’s security interest in the T&P Collateral.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor has caused this instrument to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
